Bellamy sent Clarke a text letting her know he would be waiting for her call later. Her missed her, a lot but he kept himself busy to try and keep her off his mind, he still partially believed she left to get away from him. Octavia talked non-stop next to him as they were walking home from the park, to be honest he stopped listening after the first few minutes and was just at the point he was nodding to be polite.
"Bellamy?" Octavia spoke loudly waving a hand in front of him.
"Huh?" he replied looking down at her.
"Clarke is coming home next week, maybe a dinner or BBQ with all of us?" she asked a second time.
"Yeah, that sounds good, invite the team, Charlotte, Raven, and Harper" he replied.
"Good, I'll start planning" Octavia smiled linking her arm with his as they approached Bellamy's apartment.
"I just have to grab some clothes, and toiletries. I'll probably just stay at Clarke's until she comes back" he stated as they entered the apartment.
"There's a surprise" Octavia teased.
"What's your opinion?, seriously O?" Bellamy asked his sister as he stuffed clothes in a backpack.
"Honestly, I think you have it bad, I hope you both see what is right in front of you, she's good for you, and you for her" She replied as she scrolled a few words in the dust on the top of the entertainment center. 'Please, Dust me, I need it!' She smiled to herself, if she couldn't be a pain in the butt what good was it being a little sister. He finished stuffing his bag full and locked up as they headed for Octavia's apartment.
Bellamy dropped his bag off at Clarke's and headed next door, he helped his sister get everything she needed out for dinner, he was teaching her how to make chicken teriyaki stir fry.

Wells stood on the curb double checking his watch, not only did she have his car but she was over an hour late to pick him up, he tried calling her three times and finally gave up and called Maya. He was relieved when he saw Maya's car turn the corner. She pulled up in front of him, he slid in the front seat.
"I can't believe she forgot me" he said shaking his head.
"Maybe she went to see Finn's site and left her phone in the car" Maya said.
"Maybe" Wells agreed. They made their way across town, light after light, block after block. He was glad to see her car in the driveway as they pulled onto the street.
"See, probably taking a nap" Maya said gesturing to the car.
"Or talking to Murphy" Wells said taking notice of the neighboring vehicle in the driveway.
Maya parked her car behind Wells car and they walked to the house.
"Nice, let's just leave the door unlocked" Wells muttered as he pushed it open.
"What happened in here?" Maya asked seeing the furniture all over the place.
"Clarke?" Wells yelled moving around the furniture. There was no answer.
"Clarke?" Maya called as she followed him, the silence was terrifying, she had to be here, she moved the table back and took a few quick steps to catch up to Wells. She turned the corner of the couch and slammed into him.
"Why did you stop?" She asked moving next to him, she followed his gaze to the floor.
"Oh my God, Wells call an ambulance" Maya stated as she hit her knees next to the two friends on the floor. She gently rolled Clarke off of Murphy. A small groan fell from Clarke's mouth.
"Can you hear me Clarke?" Maya asked as she checked Murphy's pulse, they were both alive, it was a welcoming shock to her, at first glance they didn't appear to be.
"mmm" Clarke replied a slight nod.
"Good, stay with me, Wells is calling for help"
"Murphy" she whispered.
"Murphy is also okay, strong pulse, just taking a nap" Maya stated, trying her best to keep Clarke calm.
Within minutes of the call for help Clarke could hear the sirens outside. She felt herself being rolled onto the stretcher and lifted into the ambulance. She forced her eyes open as heavy as they were, just in time to see Murphy placed in the back of another ambulance.

Roma sat in her apartment finishing her Chinese take out, she checked her phone again for what felt like the thousandth time. That last job was over three hours ago, what the hell could it have been. She tried calling his phone again. Letting out a deep sigh when she heard his voicemail pick up.
"John, it's Roma, call me when you get this, you should have been done with your work by now, love you, bye" she said hanging up. She stood slipping on sneakers. She needed to go for a walk, if she sat there and kept over thinking things she would be on a plane before midnight.

Raven was locking up shop, Wick waiting in the car. She had just set the alarm when she heard the phone ring.
"Dammit!, This better be worth it." she yelled at the ringing phone across the shop as she was cancelling the alarm. She jogged over reaching it just in time.
"Hey, you got Raven, what's up?" she answered.
"Raven, It's Wells, Clarke and Murphy, they, I" His voice was rough with emotion.
"What Wells? Are they okay?" Raven asked panic evident in her voice.
"I don't know, I found them beaten pretty bad in my apartment, they took them to the hospital right down the street, I didn't know who else to call" he stated.
"Oh my God, Okay, I have to find Bellamy. I'll call you back" She said hanging up. She set the alarm and locked the door quick. She ran to the car quick, telling Wick to head for Octavia's and explaining the phone call to him in the car. Wick was driving faster then the speed limit and it's a wonder Raven even saw her.
"Wick, stop, stop!" She yelled as he slammed on the brakes. Before he could ask why she flung her door open.
"Roma, get in the car, it's Murphy!" She yelled.
"What happened?" Roma asked as she slid in and slammed the door. Raven only told her what she knew, didn't answer anyone's questions, just scared them all, the uncertainty of the situation was unsettling.
Wick pulled up in front of the apartment building, Roma was on her phone with her grandfather, then the airport. She had tickets for her and Bellamy, they had to be at the airport in an hour, no stops, straight to Texas. Raven took a second to text the info to Wells so someone could pick them up.
"I'll go get him, you don't mind taking us?" she asked Wick.
"No but hurry up, traffic is going to suck at that end of town, you don't want to miss security, they won't let you board" he said turning his navigation on. Roma shut the door and headed up the stairs. She knocked on Octavia's door, more like banged on it. Her adreneline was pumping. Octavia yanked the door open ready to give someone a piece of her mind. Bellamy and Lincoln rounded the corner just as the door revealed Roma.
"It's Clarke, isn't it?" Bellamy asked. The second he saw Roma he knew something was wrong. He felt his heart sink, not sure if he could ask the question he needed the answer too.
"Is she okay?" Octavia asked, reading his mind.
"I don't know, Wells found her and Murphy beaten bad and dumped in the apartment. We have a flight in an hour. Raven and Wick are waiting downstairs to drive us." Roma said looking to Bellamy, her voice breaking up. He nodded kissing Octavia on the head as her arms wrapped around him.
" I love you big brother, go get your princess" Octavia said, he gave her one last look and a whispered 'I love you too' before jogging to Clarke's Apartment grabbing his backpack and locking everything up. By the time he got down to the car Roma was already waiting. Wick took off before the door shut.
"We owe you guys big time" Bellamy said thanking them as he got out of Wick's car. Roma trailing him in a run to the gate, hoping they were going to make the cutoff time. They shared a sigh of relief as the T.S.A. agent let them know they were just on time. Security went quick and they were boarding in no time. They didn't speak to each other, the occasional word here or there was it. There minds were reeling at a high speed, they couldn't focus enough to hold a conversation if they wanted to.
