i walk into the building where we're restraining emori and echo. "how long will she be out?" echo asks, "the sedative in the trang sticks said it should last up to 3 hours"

"what about the mother ship, they're gonna think it is us. how do we warn them" miller asks. "we don't. radios don't work down here. for now we worry about ourselves, murphy you ok?" bellamy says, "his wounds are superficial. you're lucky" jackson says, "i'm lucky. is that your professional diagnosis because if so, you suck at being a doctor"

"murphy-" echo says. "what. no i'm curious what he thinks, turned my girlfriend into a monster that just attacked me"

"it's all in here. for 2 days heaven becomes hell, friends become foes. whatever is in the air, it affects people too" i say. "why are the rest of us ok?" miller asks me. "i don't know but according to this it comes from the plants"

"it's a childrens book" murphy states. "yea but it's coming true. when we were running from the bugs, emori went down in the brush. probably why she got it first" i state. "first?" echo asks. "we're all breathing it in" bellamy adds. "if it's the air out there. then we'll stay in here" miller says. "we are gonna ride it out" he starts setting up, "great plan miller. what happens when we're all trapped in here and the rest of us lose our minds" murphy says. i look at him,

"murphy's right, there's more restaints in school. i'm guessing they're everywhere. we need to seperate"

"i'll stay with emori" echo says.

...

"trying to keep the air out is pointless murphy" 

"oh like trying to lock yourself up with the skairipa. of course, you don't need airbourne toxins to kill everyone, do you julia" i stay silent.

the door opens and bellamy walks in locking the door, "ok. echo is with emori, jackson and clarke are with miller upstairs. now one's armed, now it's our turn. gun" he grabs the gun from murphy. he looks at me, "what i miss?"

i ignore him and turn to my restraint. i grab it and put it around my wrist, i sit down on the floor and sigh. "ok. consider this the time to work out your differences"

bellamy puts the gun down. "let's do this" murphy looks at him, "now murphy"

he locks up murphy and walks over to his. "why do you get to keep everyones keys?" murphy asks. "relax, julia will have mine" he locks his arm up and throws me the key. "satisfied?"

"i guess so, as long as the people who live here don't come home after they kill everybody on the mothership" murphy says. "nice on murphy" i throw my head back and close my eyes.

...

"god i hate being tied up. yet somehow whenever i'm with you, sooner or later we end up here don't we"

"i mean first you hang me" "well, in fairness. i did that" bellamy says cutting murphy off, "only after her and her sister forced your hand. who could forget about the time she tried killing me for going back to camp"

"that's not fair" i state. "niether was getting me and emori tied up but she was disposable too right?"

"i was tied up too, i tried stopping them"

"not hard enough. and i know you remember that one because you told your daughter about it, let me ask you something. did you tell her about bellamy in the fighting pit too"

"shut up" i say. "you can't blame me for half of those things, that was my sister. not me"

"you never stopped her. you let her do half the things she did, you allowed her to tie me and emori up. you allowed her to get the 100 to hang me. you allowed her to put bellamy in the pit knowing you'd have to fight against him"
