THEY MADE IT THROUGH THE PORTAL. They remained invisible as three people from Bardo stood in front of them with furrowed eyebrows. Ivy approached one of them silently, stabbing him in the chest. Someone else seemed to have the same idea because the other two toppled to the ground as well, bloodstains spreading across their clothes.
As they removed their helmets and glanced around at each other, Gabriel snapped, "Echo, what the hell are you doing?"
"It wasn't me," Echo defended.
Both she and Gabriel then turned to look at the other two, who were sticking their knives back into their belts. Echo stared at Ivy in slight shock and concern as the blonde girl defended, "I'm not losing Bellamy. I'm doing whatever it takes."
Hope explained, "Without Orlando, we don't need to take unnecessary risks."
"Leaving Orlando was the unnecessary risk," Gabriel scoffed. Echo crouched down to stab one of the bodies in the neck to make sure that she was really dead. "Echo, enough."
Ivy moved toward one of the other people and began dragging him alongside Echo as the older woman ordered, "Hope, take the conductor. Focus. We're on the clock."
"Clock? We drilled for five years. We have thirty minutes to get to the cell block, get our people, and get back here before shift change," Gabriel reminded them. He was right. The chances were that they were screwed without Orlando, but it was too late. They had to continue. "With Orlando opening the doors, the best we ever did was 28 minutes."
"Then I guess we'd better hurry," the Bishop girl responded.
Gabriel glared at her before addressing them all once again. "Look. We all know this can't be done without an inside man."
"We have an inside man," Echo contradicted.
Hope glanced at her, and it took Ivy a minute to know who they were talking about. "What if he's not in M-Cap?"
"What if who's not in M-Cap?" Gabriel quizzed, still very out of the loop. He was extremely concerned because the three women seemed to be on the same page without him.
