John:

He didn't fight us at all. I could tell by the look in his eye he wanted to run but something was stopping him. I was stopping him.

He has done too much for us to try and trust him. With the new guard and the UN, we can't afford any drama or situations. Plus I did tell Marina it would be up to her. At the bottom line, this is her call and I support it.

I don't hate Five as much as I used too. In the past year, I've been able to do a lot of thinking and forgiving. But I'm still more comfortable with the fact that Five will be under control. He did help us kill Setrakus Ra, and he saved my life. But something in me isn't ready to forget the past. At least...not yet.

Marina:

John nods in response to my emotional rant. He understands. I can tell that even though I only told him the beginning, he still knows everything I'm thinking. That the telepathy he learned from Ella has bettered his instincts on what I'm feeling.

Without speaking we move towards Five and the island he has claimed for himself.

I can tell by Johns's face and focus that he's holding Five down. Not excessively but forceful enough to keep him from running or fighting. When John approaches him I see a mix of fear and relief in his eyes. Then in one move, Five is unconscious.
