"Bloody hell Cobb, let me drive."

Cobb ignored Eames's pleading tone, as he sped through the highway at around 90 mph. He knew that they would have to get there in the next hour, otherwise his friends would be gone. Gone into limbo. He felt guilty for this, he should have been there for his team when they were attacked in the dream, instead he let Arthur shoot him, leaving him all alone. Defenceless. This thought made Cobb speed up, throwing his body back into the seat.

"Listen, when we get there, find Arthur and Ariadne. I'll deal with Phillips."

Eames looked over to him, loading his gun.

"You sure about that?" Cobb nodded.

Yusuf looked over from his desk. 'Arthur' was staring at him in a way that made him feel very uncomfortable.

"Do they pay you enough to do this?" he asked. Yusuf gave him a confused look. He stood up from his desk, grabbing a gun for protection, and to establish his power in the situation.

"Not that it's any of your business but yes. They do."

"We could probably pay you more." Arthur growled. Yusuf muttered something in Swahili, then walked closer to Arthur.

"Just to clear things up, when it comes to a job like this, money isn't always the most important thing. loyalty and trust are too. These people are my friends." Without saying another word, Yusuf returned to his desk and continued with his work.

"Arthur, do you think they're going to arrive in time? " Ariadne asked.

"Yes. They're probably already here, talking things over with Phillips." Arthur gave her a fake smile. He didn't believe his own words. Neither did Ariadne.

"Ariadne?"

"Yeah?"

"…what's it like in limbo?" Ariadne gave him a look. She wasn't expecting that. She gave him a deep sigh, and looked at him.

"You told me it was raw, infinite subconscious. That's true. Everything is there, but at the same time, its full of emptiness. Time goes incredibly slowly and it's unstable enough to lose yourself and any moment. "

"But it's ok. Because we'd be there together. We wouldn't be lonely." he said. Ariadne gave him a look, that told him he was wrong, but he could believe it anyway.

Cobb and Eames pulled up to an empty building. It was in the middle of nowhere, and they sat in the car for several seconds before jumping out and grabbing the PASIV. Cobb knew that if there was any moment to be imaginative, now would be it. They were greeting by 2 men, about 3 times the size of them, who took them through a dark hallway. Eames looked at Cobb as if to say: we're screwed.

They were taken into a room, where they saw Phillips, Smith, Andrews and the Russian Chemist. No-one looked up at them, except Phillips. He gave them a frightening smile and stood up.

"Welcome. Did you bring the PASIV?" Cobb nodded and raised his left hand, which was holding the device. Phillips laughed. "Excellent. Give it here." Eames shook his head. Cobb took a step forward, handing Eames the PASIV.

"First of all." he said slowly. "Where are they?"
