As soon as the sun rose the following day after the Exodus Ship crashed, the delinquents rushed out to get as much information as possible. Maybe even see if any of their loved ones were in the unfortunate crash.

"Stay sharp. Grounder retaliation for what happened on the bridge is coming, just a matter of when." Bellamy called out to the group, clutching his gun against his chest with cautious eyes never leaving their surroundings.

The ground they walked on was charred, the impact destroying any plant life in it's way. The bones of former Ark residents littered the floor and parts of the ship were discarded, broken wires hanging out from the pieces.

"Can you blame them?" Finn sighed, still pissed off at the leader for intruding on the grounder meeting yesterday.

"No. I blame you." Bellamy snapped back at him.

"Maybe if you didn't bring guns-"

"If we didn't bring guns, we all would've been killed." Raven interrupted her boyfriend, glaring at him from the side.

"What happened yesterday happened, there's no point thinking of the what if's, let's just focus on finding something useful from the ship." Nia said, trying to prevent an argument forming between the three.

"Why they're coming doesn't matter anymore. It's our job to be ready when they do. We're on our own now." Bellamy glanced over at Nia, who looked away as soon as their eyes met. She was still feeling a little embarrassed after her break down just mere hours ago, the last thing she wanted was for Bellamy to see her like that. However, he was kind and gentle with her, he wasn't judging her, or at least that's what Nia thought by the way he acted.

"Clarke, stop!" Raven shouted at the girl, who gasped as something she was near exploded. She ran up to Clarke and stood next to her, inspecting the fluid that leaked from one of the metal parts.

"Rocket fuel?" Clarke asked Raven, facing her with curiosity.

"Hydrazine... Highly unstable in it's non solid form. If this stuff meets fire, we're all pink mist." The mechanic explained. She took a step back, ushering Clarke along with her and threw something towards it to ignite it. "Fire in the hole!" Raven exclaimed as there was a controlled explosion.

"We need to clear the area." Raven informed Bellamy, looking at him from the other side of a pile of rubble.

"Okay, then. We move in formation, no straggling, weapons hot. We got to get back before dark." He ordered the group of delinquents that he had trusted enough to accompany him and carry weapons.

The group that had spent the day at the wreckage site, eventually arrived back at camp in the night. They were greeted with news that wasn't considered good to Bellamy, they had found Murphy bloody and beaten just outside the camp walls.

"Where is he?" Bellamy's voice echoed throughout the camp as he stormed into the drop ship, ear's almost steaming with the anger he felt towards the boy. He glared at an injured Murphy, sat on the floor with his hands bound. "Everyone but Connor and Derek out.. Now!"

Clarke and Nia stayed put inside the drop ship, both curious as to what had happened. "He claims he was with the grounders." Derek told Bellamy, glancing down at the boy as if he was below him.

"We caught him trying to sneak back into camp." Connor spoke up, Murphy rolled his eyes at him.

"I wasn't sneaking. I was running from the grounders."
