Change of Plans

Honeymoon?

"So Marcus. What did you do before you started working for Thelonius?" Clarke asks as the four people are eating dinner.

They had swung by the nice hotel and dropped their bags off in the honey moon suite on the top floor and then decided they would go eat somewhere, then go back and turn in for the night.

"Marcus?" Abby asks.

"Huh?" He says flashing back to reality. He had been having memories of his old life. Before this new, good job. Before Thelonius. Before Abby.

Abby.

She was innocent. Nice. A pain in his side. But still, she drove him crazy.

"Oh sorry. Got distracted." Marcus says, apologizing. "Before this job. I did...." He paused trying to pick the right word, "odd jobs. You know stuff like making sure my employers get what they wanted. Mostly information on....secret projects."

"Interesting job." Bellamy said. "Ever been to Zento before?" Bellamy asks.

"Can't say I have. I don't think I could've forgotten this place." Marcus says. Luckily if his past has taught him one thing. Its lying.

Flashback

Marcus gets another syringe filled with nightmare serum and walks over to Jake.

"No! No! Please! Don't! No more!" Jake screamed.

Marcus squats down to talk to him. "Then tell me. How do I get the launch codes?"

Jake takes shaky breaths, "I don't. Know. What. You are. Talking. About." He says between breaths.

"Yes you do. The launch codes. To Mount weather. Your secret little base." Marcus says. Jake continues to sob and shake. Marcus stands up and puts the syringe on the table. "Of course. I'll also need the location of your base."

Jake looks up at him. "You might as well kill me. Cause I can't give you either of those things."

"No. You can't." He pauses. "But. I think you know someone who can."

"Do us all a favour." Jake says, "take a long walk off a short pier."

A door opens arubtly,and Emerson and Cage walk in. Marcus picks up a syringe with a sedative in it and injects it into Jake.

After Jake falls into a deep sleep, Cage talks, "did he tell you anything?" Cage clenches his fists in frustration.

"No. Honestly he doesn't know anything. I can see it in his behavioral responses. To be honest. He is of no use to you." Marcus explains.

Cage grunts, then gives Marcus a death glare. "Then kill him." Cage walks out followed by Emerson.

Marcus sits in a chair and waits for Jake to wake up.

Present day

"What was that about?" Abby asks as she comes out in her sleeping shorts and a tank top, her wet hair falling over her shoulders.

Marcus looks up at her from where he is sitting on the bed. He leans his head against the headboard still looking at her. "What was what?" He asks.

Abby walks over and sits on the bed next to him. "You have been distracted all night. So when I was in the shower I was thinking about it. So why were you distracted?"

"Abby." He closed his eyes. "Please. Don't."

Abby tilts her head at him, eyeing him curiously, "Bellamy was right. You've been here before." She says.

He opens his eyes and looks at her. "I really don't want to talk about it. What happened in my past should stay there."

"How am I supposed to trust you if I don't know who you are?" Abby asks.

"Know this. I would never. Ever hurt you. I promise." Marcus says.

"That doesn't really make me feel better." She pauses then continues, "I don't need the whole story. I just need something. Something that will help me trust you. Anything." Abby says.

Marcus leans forward and kisses her, then pulls back. "You can trust me. I promise." He says climbing underneath the covers.

Abby does the same thing. She lays on her side facing him and he does the same, facing her.

"Are we not going to talk about how our cover story is we are on our honeymoon?" Abby asks.

"Would it do any good? Marcus asks.

"Probably not." Abby replies.

"You want to kill Jaha when we get back home." Marcus jokes.

"Definitely." Abby replies as she closes her eyes.
