___
We've been runnin' in place, whole year's been one of those days
I know we're close to an edge
___
"Lovejoy's keycard will get you in the armory. The guns are locked. The guard has the key, I can lure him away if-"
"There's no time. Once we get the guns, how do we get them to level five? They're watching every door." Bellamy says, interrupting Maya.
Skye and Bellamy are quickly walking down the halls alongside Maya. At this rate, every moment counts.
The missiles should have already hit Tondc by now, hopefully Clarke managed to warn everyone and get them to safety.
Soon enough the mountain will realize that somebody is on the inside. Especially once their biggest defense; the acid fog, is down.
"Maybe not." Maya says, slowing down. "The mess hall has a trash chute."
Skye looks at her. "A trash chute?"
"There's one on every level. Best part, no radiation alarms. The hatches leak like crazy, so they put in these air locks just to be safe." She breathes. "You get the guns; I'll get them to the mess hall."
Skye smirks. "You're a natural-born revolutionary."
"My mom was the revolutionary. I'm just trying to do what's right."
"You are." Skye says.
Bellamy nods at the girl. "Meet back here in 30 minutes."
___
The radio crackles from a different channel than the one the Ark is using to communicate.
Skye turns the knob and listens in as her and Bellamy walk along the halls of level three. "This is president Wallace talking to the people who killed 10 of my men. I thought we'd try something a little different this time."
Bellamy looks at Skye, eyes widening.
"There's only 20 minutes left of oxygen in Maya's suit. I know she's a friend of yours. In 20 minutes, your friend will either suffocate or burn."
"Bell..." Skye says.
They've captured Maya.
"But you can save her. All you have to do is surrender." Cage's voice says.
Bellamy turns back the way they came, grabbing Skye's hand. "We gotta go."
They take off running.
She can feel her heartbeat in her chest as they move.
Suddenly Bellamy stops, pulling Skyes's arm back so she doesn't go around the corner.
Two guards walk down a different hall, not noticing the couple hiding around the bend.
Once they're out of sight, the two begin moving again.
Getting to the trash chute is harder than they thought. They finally find it and Bellamy helps Skye crawl in.
"It's been almost 20 minutes." Bellamy tells her.
She nods, clutching the sides of the metal as she climbs up.
She hears voices on the other side as she nears the door. She braces her foot against the door and kicks with as much force as she can muster up.
It flies open to reveal several of her friends on the other side.
Jasper quickly lowers the gun he was pointing at her.
"Skye." Monty says in shock.
Harper and Miller stare at her, wide eyed.
Skye holds out her arm. "Maya, quick!"
The girl in the decontamination suit is gasping for air. She's almost out.
She grabs her arm and helps her into the chute.
Maya slides down first, landing in a metal bin with a gasp. Skye and Jasper are right behind her.
The chute slams shut, and depressurization occurs in the small space. The smoke clears and Bellamy, who was waiting down there for them, helps Maya get her helmet off.
Her breath is ragged as she inhales deeply. Jasper wraps her in a tight hug.
After they part, Jasper turns to Skye.
"Hi." She huffs a relieved laugh.
He throws his arms around her, squeezing her tight.
"I'm sorry I called you a liar and an ungrateful ass." He mumbles into her hair.
Bellamy chuckles.
She smiles. "It's okay, Jasper."
He pulls away from the hug. "You were right. We should've listened to you."
Suddenly the door to the room opens. In walks Maya's father.
"Dad? What are you doing here?" She asks.
"What your mother would have done." The two hug.
Bellamy pats Jasper on the shoulder. "Clarke is coming with an army of Grounders."
Jasper furrows his eyebrows. "What? Clarke is alive?"
Bellamy nods. "We have to keep all of you safe till then."
Jasper smiles a little. "Don't tell me Finn finally got his peace talks."
Skye blinks. She looks at Bellamy. He is silent for a moment.
"Something like that." He speaks.
"Come on. We got a lot of work to do." Skye tells them, clearing her throat.
