"Raven found a way that we can listen in on Mount Weather. We can know all of their moves before they even know them themselves," I say.

Clarke nods and asks, "What about the other Ark stations?"

"We don't know if they made it," Abby answers, "but we do know that your friends are still alive in there, and we're gonna get them out."

Clarke lets out a sigh of relief and embraces her mother tightly. The small moment brings a smile to my face. I can't remember ever hugging my mother. She was more serious and stern.

I let them have that moment together and pick up my bag, slinging it over my shoulders.

That's when we are met with the rustling of of bushes and a mans voice pleading for help.

I grab my gun and make my way ahead of the other guards.

"Show is your hands," one of the guards order.

I take a step forward to get a better look. The man stumbles to his feet and turns around to face us.

He looked so familiar, and for a moment I'm confused. Then, "Jaha?"

I lower my weapon.

He was covered in blood and cuts. Dirt crusted his face and he walked with a limp. Jaha makes his way over to Abby only to then fall on his knees.

"She wants me to give you. . ." He pauses to catch his breath, "a message."

I share a glance with Clarke.

"Leave. . .or die,"

We finally make it back to Camp Jaha, which is ironic now that he's mysteriously back. The guards move quickly to get Jaha to medical.

Before I enter the gates I take one last look at the forest, hoping that wherever Bellamy and Octavia are, they're okay.

They never made it to the rendezvous but they know to head back if we were already gone. It just worries me that after the acid fog. . .

I shake my head to clear itself from the thought and walk through the gates into camp.

Jaha had stated that we only have two days. By the end of those two days, the commander will gather her army and make her way here.

As my mind trails, I meet with the others in the war room.

"How sure are we he's not lying? I mean he mysteriously shows up when— like you said, Abby, he stayed on the Ring,"

Abby bites her lip and thinks. "This doesn't change our plans," she states.

"Mom, what could this mean about your chancellor position?" Clarke asks.

I clear my throat which catches everyone's attention. "We can't think that far ahead yet. Jaha is still in medical. Abby's right, we move forward with the plan to get our friends back. We can take the grounders,"
