Somebody That I Used to Know - Gotye

~3rd Person POV~

"I'm gonna find that skinny little Englishman and strangle him to death," Mick growls. "You take the front, I take the rear."

"If we face them now, they will surely kill us, Private," Washington argues.

"They're gonna kill us anyway," Mick complains as they're forced to walk toward the English camps.

"If the British wanted us dead, they'd have done it already," George explains. "When we reach camp, I will talk to their commanding officer and arrange a prisoner exchange. There are rules to war."

"Yeah, kill or be killed," Mick grumbles as he looks to the Utahraptor walking between the two prisoners, making sure they can't try anything.

"British high command will treat us honorably, just as I treat prisoners, with honor."

"Now I know why Franklin's on the 100 dollar bill. I bet you 100 yous you're wrong!" Mick bets.

"Excuse me?"

"Oh, forget it," Mick growls. "I hate Christmas."

"Jessica," Rip calls. "Here." She runs up to him, leaving Mick and Washington to the rest of the British soldiers. "You are going to help me find my spear. Stay here, lead for a moment." Rip leaves and gathers a few of the soldiers at the back to follow him and Jessica.

"Lead us to the Waverider."

Jessica stands by as Rip's soldiers begin to pull at the cargo bay door.

"Heave!" Rip yells. The doors creak, but don't budge. "Put your backs into it! Heave!" The men continue to pull as hard as they can.

"For England! Come on, you bastards, heave!" Rip continues to yell. Finally, the door comes down and all the men pick their rifles up and storm the Waverider. Jessica waits for Rip's instructions. "Search the ship," he commands. "Kill anyone you see."

Jessica walks into the Waverider, sniffing around to find the freshest scents. She sees a fog up ahead in the hallways and approaches. Through the nasty smell of the smoke, she finds Jax's scent mixed with Sara's blood. Suddenly, she hears a pitter-patter in the vents.

Ray...

Jessica screeches to catch his attention, and just as she suspects, the little feet stop.
