Iridium

Chapter Four

"Extremely intelligent girl you've got here Blake."

"She never lets me forget Sir."

"It's been three hours", Bellamy complains to the rest of us, trying to peak outside through the slates of the windows "What are they waiting for?"

"Shaikru buffet?", I sharpen my daggers in my bored. Light has just begun to break through the trees surrounding us during our attempt to wait out this enemy we can't see in the tree lines. Hour. That light means hours have passed us from night to dawn.

Tearing his eyes from the small slates in the rover, Bellamy unappreciatively comments "Real smart Ave."

Shrugging nonchalantly I scrape the sharp edges beside one another before Monty's hand rests on mine, shaking his head when the sound finally gets on his nerves. "I say we make a run for it", Monty poses to us suggestively.

Kane is quick to disagree "No. That's what they want us to do."

"The boy is right", Indra speaks for the first time in hours "They can wait longer then we can."

"Okay Bellamy", Kane turns his attention "You get up in that hatch and you cover us. Once we get to that ridge over there we'll cover you."

Bellamy is hesitant but never the less zips up his jacket "Copy that. Run fast." Biting back my sarcastic response I ready myself to run as Bellamy fiddles with the hatch. Sliding it open Bellamy pops his body through, gun raised. Although when I hear no bullets fly I know immediately somethings wrong, "They're here."
