___

You don't wanna hurt me

But see how deep the bullet lies

Unaware, I'm tearing you asunder

Dante stands quickly upon hearing the footsteps nearing his doorway.

Skye is the first to enter.

Monty and Bellamy are right behind.

"We meet again." President Wallace says, making eye contact with the girl.

Bellamy speaks up. "We need your help."

Dante is silent as he glances at the three.

"It's okay." Monty says. "I took out the camera from the junction box in the hall. We can talk freely."

"No one's watching anyway." Dante replies. He looks at Skye. "Thanks to you, they're all on level five."

"You're not." She says stoically.

"No... I'm not."

"Please. We don't have much time." Bellamy tells the man. "We need a way to get our people out of this mountain without killing everyone."

Skye stares at Dante. "He's not gonna help us."

He looks at her. "You cut the power, risking the lives of everyone in this mountain, my people, even the ones who helped you."

She takes a few steps closer to him. "We knew they'd be safe on level five. We made sure not to destroy the turbines so you could repair them."

He hums. "Tell me, if we released your people and theirs, what would have happened to mine?"

Skye grinds her teeth, turning to her friend Monty. "Can you get us into the command center? We have to see what's happening on level five."

He nods. "No problem."

"Let's go." Bellamy says, grabbing onto Dante's arm. "You're gonna help us whether you like it or not."

"I told you, there's no one here." The president says.

Skye is leading the group towards the command center. She vaguely remembers how to get there based on Vincent's map.

"Sorry if we don't take your word for it." Bellamy says.

"Why aren't you with your people on level five?" Skye asks the man.

"After what I've done, they can be free. I can't."

They make it to the right door. Monty pulls the key card reader off the wall and begins messing with the wires.

"Deliverance comes at a cost. I bear it so they don't have to." Dante says.

Bellamy shuffles his foot. "It wasn't Cage."

Skye looks at him, eyebrow raised.

"It was your idea to make the deal with the Grounders." Bellamy finishes.

Dante is silent for a moment. Slowly, he nods.

There's a beep and Monty speaks. "We're in. Got it."

Bellamy pulls out his gun and opens the door quietly. "It's clear. He was telling the truth."

It doesn't take long for Monty to get the monitors back up and running.

"The command center's live." He speaks.
