Once the rover grows quiet once more I get a better look around at the new faces. Naturally, my gaze first falls on Murphy and Emori who sit across from me. For the most part, they are either glancing out the windshield or trailing their eyes around the rover's interior. Although every now and then I catch them share a small smile, next to unnoticeable if you hadn't been looking for it. Glancing past Bellamy, Octavia, and Indra I peer around to the front seat where not once does Madi look away from the land ahead. Reminding myself to praise her for that later, my gaze flickers over to Echo. She too is staring out the windshield. Yet when she subtly glances back at Bellamy, I watch her gaze flicker towards the next to non-existent space between Bellamy and I.
That's when I notice two very distinctive missing faces.
"Where's Raven and Clarke?" I blurt out, feeling my nerves return. Noticing Echo glance over to Madi I almost feel like I could be sick, running my hands through my hair "Oh go-"
"They're not dead", Madi quickly assures me as she continues driving along the uneven sand "At least they weren't when we left."
Furrowing my eyebrows at Madi's vague response, I turn my attention to Echo and pry "What does she mean?"
"We spoke with Monty over the radio. Our pillbox had been empty so we wanted details on what was occurring on your side", Echo explains to me as I burn my anxious stare into the side of her head. She does well at ignoring it, however, informing me "When we got back to our hideout Diyoza and Kane had gone missing. We think they went to cut a deal with McCreary. Monty told us about what had gone down in the gorge. That you all were still MIA. We got told you guys needed a leader so we decided to go out and get you one."
"Madi", I hum, sparing a glance at the young girl before asking "Where are they now?"
"McCreary took Raven and Shaw- the pilot- to their ship. He needs a pilot and knows either one can get him in the sky." Understanding he knows where we are and wants to bomb our army I feel myself duck my head frustrativly into my hands.
