"Fuck." "Whats it?" "Lovejoy's kye card isn't working." I look at the card he's holding up to the door. I take it from him and hold it out to Seober, but the light doesn't turn green. "Hands up." Shit. I turn my head and see two guards standing further away from us. We're in a huge room, with stairs and scaffolding at different heights.

Bellamy looks at me as they raise and aim their guns. We nod to each other and run off at the same time. They immediately run after us, but we have a head start. "That's not Lovejoy. Repeat it's not Lovejoy." We part ways and I run in a different direction from Bellamy. I keep running up while he runs down. The two guards split up so that one runs after each of them.

I'm about to take a sharp turn when my foot twists and I fall off the ground onto the trellis. Before I can get up, someone points their gun at me. I roll my eyes and turn round so that I'm lying on my back. "A girl." "A girl? It's the one who tried to escape with the other two." "Lillya." My ears hurt at Cage's voice and I want to smash my fist into his face.

"Bring her to me." "Yes, sir." He grabs my waistcoat and lifts me up. His hands grab my arms and push them behind my back. "Move." I walk to the nearest railing with him, where I push myself off with my legs so that my back falls against him with full force. As he lies beneath me, I immediately turn round and reach for the gun to shoot him in the head. The blood splatters against my face and I wash it off.

"Conner?" I hear Cage's voice from the mike and pick it up in my hand. "Fuck you Cage." He falls silent and doesn't say anything else, so I get up and look for Bellamy. It's quiet and I walk slowly down the stairs. My heart is beating fast and I try to find him when I see the guard walking directly below me. As quietly as possible, I climb onto the railing and jump on top of him. He screams and tries to reach for his gun, but I shoot him in the head. My ears ring a little as the shot was very close to my ear.

"That was fucking hot." I look up and see Bellamy standing in front of me. "No hotter than you in that guard outfit." A grin appears on his face, as well as mine. I stand up and take the guard's card with me. Before I can walk past Bellamy, he grabs my wrist and looks down at me. "Are you okay?" He wipes the blood from my lips with his thumb. "Yes." Even though he nods, he doesn't look like he believes me. "Come on." I walk past him and open the door with the Kye card.

After Bellamy has welded open the end of the air shaft, he punches it out and climbs out. I get out too and look around. I walk to the device and he locks the door with an axe before he starts talking to Raven on the microphone. He talks to them while I search the room.

The potions come on and I look over at him. "Passivation successful." We break off contact with Raven and her friend.

I'm still standing in a different place when I see a PH reading. I wipe the dirt off it with my hand and see that it doesn't read the same as Bellamy's digital one. "Bellamy." He immediately turns round and runs to me. "Shit. Raven, we got a problem. I don't think the acid fog is down. Get word to clarke we have to stop the army. Raven?"

Raven doesn't answer and the PH drops again. "No. No. No." Guard try to break down the door that Bellamy locked with the axe earlier, but it won't hold for long. "Bellamy, we have to go." He looks at the small flamethrower in his hand. "Go through the shaft." "What?" "Go!" I do as he says and climb into the shaft. He quickly places the turned-up flamethrower on one of the benches and at that moment the Guards come rushing in.

Bellamy immediately runs to the shaft and crawls after me before turning round and firing at them until his guns are empty. "Bellamy!" I call after him and wait for him at the other end of the shaft. Knowing what his plan is, my heart is pounding and I'm scared for him. An explosion. The fire comes from the room and goes through the shaft. Bellamy crawls through the shaft as fast as he can and as soon as I can reach him with my hands I pull him out so that we're both on the floor and the fire comes out of the shaft.

I curl up and feel him drape himself protectively over me. As soon as the flame is out, I look at him worriedly. "Bellamy, are you fine?" He looks at me briefly and then starts to laugh. With a grin, I hit him gently on the chest. "We did it."
