CHAPTER FORTY-FIVE
▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬
EYES DROOPING, she stared at the radio, hoping that it would go off any moment. Just knowing Bellamy was okay, things would be so much easier.Raven had gone off to see what the commotion in the halls was about. Clarke had just arrived in a frenzy of chaos but Taylor didn't care much for seeing her at that moment.
It had been a few hours since they had arrived but Taylor was mostly just tired. She had taken up the habit of sleeping and eating near the radio, taking watch of it when Raven couldn't.
Raven entered the room looking a little bothered and smiled a little when she saw Taylor.
"He'll be fine, you know," she said, sitting down next to her. "Bellamy's got this. You should take a break."
Taylor glanced at her in protest but Raven shook her head. "If he calls in, I'll let you know as soon as he does," she assured. Taylor nodded.
She stood up, leaving the room with one last glance at the radio.

Clarke's arrival turned out to be a lot more significant than she had originally thought it was. On their way back, they'd captured someone from Mount Weather that had attempted to assassinate Clarke.
It was something she expected to be informed of much earlier than she was, standing there in front of the man trapped in the airlock with crossed arms.
Kane, Abby, and her mother stood to one side while Taylor stood directly in front of it, Clarke to her side.
Burn marks ravaged the man's face, now healed over slightly, but a clear picture of what radiation could do to someone like him.
"Carl Emerson, Mount Weather security detail," the man, Emerson, repeated for what was probably about the fifth time.
"You already said. You don't seem to be grasping the situation here," Kane let out, frustrated, speaking to him through the comms to the airlock. "You should've died in the woods. We saved your life. Why not help us bring an end to all this?"
Emerson paused before repeating his name and rank all over again. Taylor looked at him with contempt.
"He's not gonna talk," Clarke said, looking through a few papers and pictures they had found on him. One of them was a picture of Clarke and Lexa, their faces circled in red. The targets.
