We've been hidden for 2 years now, the council never stopped looking for us but really I think is because Kane never allowed them to, which is understandable but still for our own good it's better if we stay hidden, like mom said before she was floated Skye is my responsibility now, my job is to protect her nothing matters to me as much as she does.

My name is Maddison Kane, some call me Robin Hood, some The Runner, but everything started with me trying to do the right thing while breaking some rules, from stealing rations and clothes for people who couldn't afford much to stealing medicine when the council decided that certain people could receive it because they were "too far gone to be saved" is what the council said, so people started calling me Robin Hood.

There was one job, the one job that nearly got me a one way ticket to the Skybox, I took the job knowing the risks, so the blame is on me everything bad that has happened since then has been my fault the problem is that decision didn't only affected me, it affected my family, my sister Skye, I dragged her in this mess, my mess, though I don't regret taking her with me because I know if I hadn't Kane would've used her against me, because he knows Skye is my weakness and I would do anything and everything for her.

"Hey sis?" I asked
"Yeah?"
"When will we stop hiding from the council? I'm tired of it" I grumbled
"Soon, I hope" She hopes? What the hell is that even supposed to mean?
"You hope? So you aren't even sure if we will stop?"
"Considering they wanna lock me up in the Skybox and they don't know about your existence. Yes I hope I can come up with a plan soon enough"
"Soon enough before what? Before they find me? Before they lock you up in the Skybox? Before Dad floats us both?Before-"
"Alright I get it, I'm working on a plan all the time, but most effective is me turning myself and you going back to live with Kane, but you don't want that do you?" Madds interrupted
"You know I don't"
"Then have a little faith in me little sis, I will have a plan soon"
"Fine"
"I have to go to the vents now, I'll see you later alright?"
Yeah, don't get caught"
"Wouldn't dream of it"
"Good, love you sis"
"Love you too Skye"

*In the vents above the council room*
"This is insane we would be sending them to their deaths" Abby exclaimed
Who? Why? What the hell are they talking about?
It's not insane Abby, it's rational. This is how we make sure the human race survives" Kane explained
"Maybe we should make sure the human race deserves to stay alive" Abby sighed
"Abby you know there are no other options we have to do it" Kane sighed
"Sending a 100 delinquents to the ground is the best plan we got, even if the ground isn't survivable we'll get more time to fix the Ark" Jaha defended
"Either way is a win" Kane added
That's it my father finally lost it. How the hell is that a win? How the hell can anyone in their right mind think sending a 100 delinquents to the ground is a good idea?
"Then it's decided we are sending the 100 to the ground. Now let's discuss our "Robin Hood situation"" Jaha said
"We should have caught her by now" Kaplan grumbled
Well no shit Sherlock. I'm too smart for this council of assholes
"She's got to have people helping her" Muir exclaimed
"We already know that Muir, what we need is for the people that are helping her to-" Jaha explained
"Rat her out" Kane interrupted
"You really think they would do that to their "hero?""Abby asked
"They would if we put a bounty on her head" Jaha answered
"Conditions would be?" Cole asked
"Alive, unharmed" Kane explained
Like he would care
"Alright then we'll put the bounty a soon as the 100 are sent to the ground" Jaha sighed
"Then what? Let's say we found her, what then?" Abby asked
"Then she'll answer for her crimes" Fuji answered
SHIT, They are gonna float me
"Meaning what?" Abby said
"She's not 18 yet meaning we can't float her" Jaha explained
"So we sent her to the ground with the 100?" Abby asked
"Even if we do float her it'll cause a riot, "she's their savior"" Cole sighed
"No one needed saving in the first place Cole" Kane explained
"And we aren't even sure it'll cause a riot" Jaha added
"It will and you know it Thelonius" Abby said
"We know they didn't need saving. Our people on the other hand don't seem to think that way" Kaplan defended
"What are you suggesting Abby?" Jaha asked
"All I'm saying is we could always pardon her" Abby explained
He won't go for it and if he doesn't agree Jaha won't either
"Abby-" Jaha said
"ABSOLUTELY NOT" Kane exclaimed
Damn why do I always have to be right
"Marcus-" Abby tried
"No Abby" Kane said
"We could consider it"Kaplan sighed
"It's not an option, not after she ran" Jaha explained
"Then what do we do?" Kane asked
*Silence*
"Thelonius?" Abby asked
"Nothing" Jaha answered
"I'm sorry what?" Kane exclaimed
"We wait until she makes a move" Jaha explained
"Sounds like a plan" Abby defended
"This meeting is closed" Jaha sighed
I have a plan
