''Yes, Starbeach Hotel in Gold beach, Oregon.'' Camila confirms and Normani hums on the other side of the phone line.

''Okay, we're about 20 minutes behind you guys. I'm with Zendaya and about four police officers.'' She answers and Camila hears some talking before Normani speaks with her again. ''Zendaya just tells me there's a police department in Gold beach, she's going to call in now and get a team ready to wait for Brody at the Starbeach hotel.'' She tells the astronaut.

''Good. Lauren wrote that they're in a red SUV, so they have to be on the look-out for it.'' Camila says while Normani replay's the piece of information to the officer next to her.

''Got it.''

''Good. Just... They have to try to not make a big scene of arresting Brody if Kyano is there. I want him to witness as little of all this as possible.'' Camila says and Normani hums.

''I agree. I think we can leave the tactics of his arrest to the police, you just focus on your son and you girlfriend once we find them, okay?'' She offers gently and Camila gulps.

''You're right.'' she answers while Lexa gives her shoulder a soft squeeze next to her.

''I'll see you there.'' Normani says and Camila says her goodbye's before hanging up the phone and refocusing her attention back on the road ahead.

''Everything set up?'' Dinah asks, looking at her through the rear-view mirror while Clarke turns in her seat to look at Camila as well.

''Yeah, everything is taken care of. We just need to keep driving and contact Normani if we see his car. Zendaya asked who's behind the wheel and in the passenger seat, cause she didn't want Brody to be able to see us driving behind them if we catch up to them. But he has seen all of us, right?'' she asks and Lexa nods.

''Yes, both Clarke and I were there when he and Jesse came back from space and Lincoln and Anya were assigned to them.'' The green eyed medical student answers with a confirmative nod from Clarke.

''Right, and he obviously knows Dinah and me. So that means that if we catch up to them before they make it to the hotel, we have to keep our distance for safety reasons.'' Camila tells them what Zendaya said while her voice clearly shows her disagreement with it.

''Well, that's hard but it's the better choice.'' Clarke tries carefully, not wanting to upset the astronaut even more. ''We have no idea what Brody is capable of, if we face him without any protection from the police, we could be in serious danger.''

''Lauren and Kyano are already in serious danger. I'm not going to keep my distance if I finally get the chance to save them from that psycho, can't you understand that?'' Camila answers sharply while giving Clarke a tired glare full of adrenaline and misguided anger.

''Chanch.'' Dinah warns sternly while Lexa lays her hand on the astronaut's shoulder firmly.

''Calm yourself down, Camila. You won't be of any use if you're this tense and certainly not if you're going to attack those who try to help you.'' She tells her with a pointed look at Clarke who looks genuinely hurt by Camila's sharp glare and harsh words.

Camila takes a deep breath and looks down, her fingers fiddling together in both nerves and incredible anticipation. ''Right.''

Lexa nods at her and leans forward in her seat to press a kiss against Clarke's cheek in support while Camila tries to get herself together again.

''I'm sorry, Clarke. It came out wrong.'' She apologizes and the blue-eyed girl gives her a gentle smile while her face is still light pink from Lexa's show of support.
