"There's five to a clip," Bellamy told the group as he loaded a gun, "Let's go. We need to get these guns to the wall."
"Why just five?" Monty pondered as he lifted a gun and handed it to Noelle.
"We're running out of gun powder," Raven sighed as she continued handing out clips.
"Oh, we are so dead," Harper sighed as she grabbed a gun from the table.
"Don't worry, I got your back," Jasper told her which caused Monty to roll his eyes and scoff. Jasper turned to him, "Got something to say?"
"Back off, Jasper. You've been a dick to Monty ever since you panicked at the bridge and I'm sick of it," Noelle snapped.
"Hey guys, stay focused. We're doing good. We need as many rounds done by dawn as we can," Raven spoke, bringing the attention back to the issue at hand.
"It won't matter if we have no one else left who can shoot," Finn interrupted, referring to those who have fallen ill, "what do we need to make a bomb?"
"Depends on what you want to blow up?" Raven asked, raising an eyebrow at her boyfriend's request.
"How about a bridge?"
"What are you talking about?" Bellamy questioned. Noelle's eyebrows raised in amazement as she pieced together what Finn was thinking.
"Finn you genius!" She exclaimed, "Murphy said he crossed a bridge on his way back. Sound familiar?"
"Yeah, but what's the point? Why blow up a bridge when we can use the gunpowder to make more bullets and kill more grounders?" Bellamy inquired.
"The virus spreads fast, he's already getting better," Finn spoke referencing the way that Murphy rapidly recovered, "Blowing up the bridge won't stop the attack, but the longer we delay it, the more of us will be able to fight."
"Even if Murphy is telling the truth-- and that's a big if-- that bridge has survived a nuclear war and ninety-seven years of weather," Bellamy voiced his ignorance once again to which Noelle rolled her eyes.
"It won't survive me," Raven smirked. The team was quick to load their stuff and head towards the exodus crash so Raven could obtain hydrozine. She quickly got dressed in the space suit she wore in the dropship down and led the group towards the sight.
"You don't have to go," Bellamy told Noelle as they followed the rest of the group, their guns strapped across their chests.
"Why wouldn't I?" She asked, Bellamy opened his mouth to reply but she cut him off, "If this is about my dad I don't want to hear it. He isn't dead. And besides, I don't want to stay back at the camp with Murphy."
Bellamy didn't want to start another argument so he just shrugged his shoulders and continued walking in silence. When the group arrived at the site Raven was quick to fill a container with hydrazine while the rest of the group kept watch.
"Got it!" Raven exclaimed as she made her way towards the group.
"Alright, everybody head out, keep your eyes on the trees!" Bellamy ordered as the group began to make their way back towards camp.
