"You're not going with them to Farm Station?" Clarke questioned Sayah as the two made their way down to the garage.

Sayah shook her head. "I'm gonna stay here. Help out Raven where I can."

Clarke pursed his lips and nodded in understanding as they turned the corner and entered the garage. Bellamy's voice rang out as the other started loading the truck. "Battery's full." Bellamy stated as both girls approached him. "If we're lucky, we won't have to stop to recharge."

"If we're even luckier, Roan's seal will work the way it's supposed to." Clarke unwrapped the seal in her hands.

"If you guys get into trouble with Azgeda, just show this." Sayah nodded to Bellamy.

"Got it. We could use your help, y'know." Bellamy said to her, eyes gentle as he took the seal from Clarke.

Sayah grinned. "Of course you could." She drawled. "But I'm staying here, so you're on your own with this one."

"Unfortuate." Sayah turned her head to see Miller turning to face her in his spot at the back of the truck. "You always make our trips fun." He pouted.

Sayah fake-pouted in return. "You'll survive, baby." He simply chuckled at her and she gave a small smile before turning back to Bellamy. "Be safe." She said before her eyes moved back to the others. "All of you. Get that machine and get the hell out of there."

Monty gave her a thumbs up while Harper, Bryan and Miller nodded. Bellamy shut the gate for the back of the truck. "All right. Let's go." He and Harper did the clamps on the sides before Bellamy hopped into the front.

Sayah, Clarke and Raven watched as the engine started and the drove out of the garage, heading over to Farm Station. Sayah turned to Raven.

"What are my duties for the day, Reyes?"

"We've got a lot of work to do to get the ship ready for Winter." Raven began speaking to the five volunteers as Sayah stood beside her. "Sector 4 — The crack in the outer wall, we need to patch it up. Start by repairing the damage panels. Sector 5," She turned to someone else. "We need to get that tree out of the hole and seal it up. Any questions?"

The five people didn't reply and Sayah and Raven shared a look. Raven turned back to them. "Okay. Go." She ordered awkwardly and the five people hesitated in their spots, lingering.

"Get it done." Sayah clapped her hands. "Go, go, go." She urged them, hands shooing them away like the birds that would eat her and Lincoln's crops when they were younger. She almost smiled at the thought of Lincoln scaring them off by running towards them at full speed. Sayah remembered him tripping, and her stomach hurting from laughing so much. They had spent most of their time on the crops, and Lincoln would get so mad whenever the birds would pick at them. Eventually, she thought the crops soon died after she found a new interest in sword-fighting rather than gardening, but she always knew Lincoln would sneak out and take care of them whenever he had a chance.

Her brother, one of the most kind-hearted people she'd ever know. Her brother, who for some odd reason loved gardening more than she ever did. She missed her brother.
