A fresh start chapter 20 Mission

When Harper and Monty entered lock up, Miller had a questioning look. These were his friends, and he knew the rotation, they were not scheduled to be on duty. He immediately knew something was up, and he didn't hide his skepticism to them, but he did to the Albatross guards.

"Chaps and Bragg?" Monty asked the two guards "Yea," Bragg answered. "You both are ordered to medical," they said.

"We ain't goin' anywhere," Bragg said "We're supposed to be watching the prisoner."

"Look medical's ordered blood tests on all guards," Harper said. "We've already had ours," she added showing a bandage on her arm from her recent phony blood test. "We're just relieving you until you're done, so don't get excited, it's not like you're getting a day off," she said.

They looked at each other. Harper handed him her radio, "Call If you need to," She said

They took the radio and called. The plan was in the works as Raven intercepted the call. "This is Bragg, We were told to report to medical. We are assigned to guard the prisoner," he said

"Rollins ordered all guards for blood testing and you're up," Raven said "it'll only take about 15 minutes, then you'll return to duty," she said

Bragg gave Harper the radio. "Come on," he told Chaps and they both left.

Miller looked at Monty. "What's going on," he said quietly glancing at Trent standing on the far side of the room. He knew something was up. Monty looked from Miller to Trent. He turned putting his back towards Trent and showed Miller a reaper stick. Miller knew it was for Trent. Miller wanted to know and pressed Monty.

"What's happening?" Miller repeated. "Were getting him out," Monty said

Miller grabbed the stick. "We don't need it," he said and walked to Trent. "These are friends of mine,' he said, "Were breaking him out, are we going to have any problem?" he asked

"No," Trent said, "I can just say I had to go take a leak," he smiled.

Miller smiled and nodded. He turned to Monty, "He's good,"

Murphy stood up. "Hey guy's you breaking us out?" he asked

"Not you Murphy," Harper said

"What do you mean, not me?" he asked in an offended tone.

"Murphy, you're going to be out in the morning anyway, if you escape then you'll be arrested again, and do you really want to be locked back up? You are a parent now, remember?" Harper said as Monty unlocked their cell.

Bellamy carefully struggled to his feet, still chained to the back wall. "What are you doing?" he asked his friends holding up his hands.

Monty rushed over "Hurry we don't have much time. Octavia and Clarke's at the escape hatch," Monty said.

"No," Bellamy said holding his hands up.

"Bellamy, we have to go," Harper said

"Bellamy, what's wrong with you…"Murphy said "you need to run."

Bellamy looked at Monty and Harper. He shook his head. "I can't," he said "Tell Clarke and my sister that I'm not running," he said shaking his head no. "I can't any more. If I run and you all help me, you'll be running too," he said "and I won't do that. Not to all of you. I'm going deal with whatever they decide," he said "I have to. I can't take all of you down with me…I won't"

Monty walked to Bellamy. "They could execute you," he said softly pleading, trying to convince Bellamy to come with them.

Bellamy looked at Monty. A crease forming above the bridge of his nose, he swallowed, "that's a chance I'm willing to take," Bellamy said. "I'm just ready to end this," he finally said.

Harper stepped up to him, "What do we tell Octavia and Clarke?" she asked

Bellamy closed his eyes and took a deep breath, "Tell them, I'm fine. Tell them I'll be okay," he said.

Harper reached up and hugged him. "I'm scared for you," she said.

"I'll need to do this," he whispered to her.

Monty hugged him.

"Bellamy," Murphy stepped up. "This is your chance to get out of here. You've seen Rollin's people, they're out for blood. Come on' don't do this," he pleaded with Bellamy.

"I have to," he said. He turned to Monty. "Call off whatever you guys are doing before it's too late. Please Monty, I don't want to drag anyone into this," he said. "Miller, please," he said giving Miller a slight nod asking for him to get Monty and Harper out.

Miller took an understanding breath. He stepped into the cell, "Come on guys," you heard him," Miller said.

Monty looked at Harper. She stepped out of the cell and took her radio. She frowned and looked at Bellamy, still in his cell. He nodded yes to her, a signal for her to radio the others. "This is Bravo 2 abort the mission, repeat, abort the mission. Do you copy?" she said

"What?" Clarke's voice came over the radio "No…Bravo come in, what's wrong," Clarke said. She was in panic mode.

"The package said no, repeat the package said no," Harper said

"bravo 3, the stool pigeons are on their way to med bay, the mission is aborted," Harper said

Raven answered the radio on her end. "This is bravo 3, will divert the pigeons, over," she said

Harper put the radio down, as Miller locked Bellamy's cell door.

Harper and Monty stayed, they knew the two guards still had to get a blood test, although it was a phony test, Jackson was in on the plan, and they had to take the blood, so Monty and Harper wouldn't get caught.

Trent watched the Arkadians "You all really care about each other, don't you?" he quietly asked Miller. "They would do anything to help him, and he is willing to throw away his chance of freedom, to protect them," he said.

Octavia and Clarke rushed into lock up. "Bellamy, what's going on, we need to get you out of here," Octavia pleaded.

"Octavia, you can't be here," Miller tried to stop her

She just pushed him away.

"Bellamy," Clarke said "We can get you out," she said

Bellamy stepped forward, his chains holding him from reaching the bars. "O, Please, just go," he said "Clarke; you too, I need you both to just leave, please," he said. "I'm not going. I'm staying, whatever they decide, I'll deal with it," he said "but I need you to go, If Rollins catches you in here, it'll just make things worse," he pleaded with them.

"Bellamy…" Clarke started

"Just go…Clarke, don't make things harder," Bellamy said.

Clarke looked at Bellamy. He looked hurt, worried and the look he gave her was him pleading with her to understand, and she did.

She took Octavia's arm. "Come on," she said. Octavia looked at Clarke, and then to Bellamy. He was begging her to understand. She could read it on his face. "Please," he mouthed the word. "I love you bell," she said to him, and turned and left with Clarke.

He went back to his place. Slowly sliding back down the wall, sitting back on his blanket.

"She loves you," Murphy said

"Yea, I'm her brother," Bellamy said

"I wasn't talking about Octavia," he said

Bellamy just glanced at Murphy, who wasn't looking in his direction.

Bellamy closed his eyes. Maybe he should have run.
