Chapter twenty-nine

"That's where you come in." Clarke informs her as Abby shakes her head.

"And what if I can't save him?"

"That's not an option." I admit as she looks at me and sighs, obviously confused on what to do.

"We are risking everything on bluff." Jaha begins. "Abby, we have an out, we have a way to save the lives of our people."

"Not all of them." Finn states.

"We will come back to save the kids inside mount weather!" Jaha raises his voice in an effort to get us to believe him.

"We all know that's not going to happen!" Finn argues but Jaha walks to Abby and stands beside her.

"Abby, this has gone on long enough. If you do not give the order to begin the exodus, you are killing us all." He warns as the room falls silent and we wait for Abby to make her decision.

"I'm sorry," She says as she looks up to Jaha. "I can't give that order." My mouth turns into a small smile, knowing she was making the right decision.

"Abby, give the order." Jaha whispers in her ear.

"No." She replies, her voice firm.

"I am the elected chancellor of the Ark and I am not gonna let you risk the lives of my people, do you understand? I'm going to ask you once again to give the order to begin the exodus." He says but Abby only shakes her head.

"No. Are you trough yet?" She asks and this time Jaha looks up, looking between myself Finn and Clarke.

He doesn't say another word as he walks over to the two guards standing by the door.

"Sargent Miller, Major Byrne. I am relieving Dr.Griffin of her command." He tells them before turning back to us.

"Place these four into custody and make sure they are ready to leave with the rest of us within the hour." He says and my mouth falls slightly agape.

"Right now!" He yells at Major Byrne. "Or the blood will be on your hands." He threatens but the guards don't move.

"Major Byrne, Sargent Miller, put chancellor Jaha in the stockade." Abby announces as it falls deadly silent.

"Yes ma'am." Major Byrne obliges as herself and Sargent Miller go to take Jaha's arms but he shakes them off and turns back to us.

"Everything we did to survive, you're just throwing it all away, why?" He asks Abby.

"Because I have faith too, in my daughter." She tells him and with that the guards take him out of the room as I sigh in relief.

"Thank you." Clarke says as Abby turns to us.

"I'll send a guard with you both." She tells us but I shake my head.

"You can't, they'll see it as a threat." I say as Clarke agrees.

"We have to do this, just the both of us, Finn will take you to Lincoln." Clarke informs her as Abby nods but looks at us sternly.
