Jason's POV

"So you're saying we should just leave her!?" I yell furiously. I begin to pace frantically.

"It's been weeks, Jason. We don't know what they've done to her, or even if she's alive," Naomi says, trying to sound gentle.

"Not only that, but they haven't lost their guard. They probably won't for a while. We barely made it out alive last time," adds Patrick.

Carter snorts. "Probably because we had to drag Jason's ass all the way out. Sheesh, what the heck are you eating?"

"Well maybe if you guys thought things through, I wouldn't have been knocked out in the first place! We could've even gotten Kat!" I snap.

The meeting grows into an awkward silence. It's just the four of us, but I still feel extremely defensive. They're all against me.

"I don't understand what you guys have against her," I mumble.

"Nothing at all. I think Kat's great!" Carter protests.

Patrick smirks. "She's hot."

I glare at him.

Naomi rolls her eyes. "I think she's a bitch. No ones that perfect, she's been playing you all this whole time."

I take a deep breath, trying to ignore the last comment. Naomi doesn't know who Kat is, none of them do. They also don't understand that she's mine. I'm not going to let someone steal her away.

"Fine. I'll go by myself," I decide.

This makes the three erupt in protests. I smile, knowing that they'd never let me go alone. But they can't stop me either. So the only choice they have is to come with me.

"Fine, okay. But we have to make a plan. And a good one," Carter says, defeated.

Patrick raises his hand. "Way ahead of ya."

It takes a few weeks to make the preparations. Each minute I spend here and not saving Kat makes me all the more anxious. What if they decided to just kill her? Were they bluffing with the whole soldier stuff, or did they really go through with it?

Well, there's only one way to find out.

"I can't believe I'm doing this," Naomi grumbles as she equips herself with a gun and a few grenades in her belt.

Carter leads us and the rest of the camp around him, where he will explain the plan.

He clears his throat. "Here's what's going down. Over the past few years, we've made tunnels that go through The Walls. Yes, we don't know if they're still there or how safe they are. But this is a good chance to test them out. Jason and I will enter through them disguised as soldiers, which we've taken uniforms from our past enemies. Naomi will guard the tunnels as we retrieve Kat."

Cheers of approvement shout through the crowd. I've got to say, it seems like a great plan. As we make our way to The Walls, the plan suddenly gets a whole lot simpler.
