Three figures walk onto the beach where Katniss, Finnick and Peeta are set up. They don't seem to be in good shape, especially Beetee.

When they reach them, Johanna's gesturing towards the jungle and talking very fast to Finnick. "We thought it was rain, you know, because of the lightning, and we were all so thirsty. But when it started coming down, it turned out to be blood. Thick, hot blood. You couldn't see, you couldn't speak without getting a mouthful. We just staggered around, trying to get out of it. Then Blight hit the force field."

"I'm sorry, Johanna," says Finnick. Blight was also from district seven, like Johanna.

"Yeah, we know. Tick, tock. Nuts is in shock," says Johanna. This seems to draw Wiress in towards her. Johanna just kicks her with her shoe. "Just stay down, will you?"

"Lay off her," Katniss snaps.

Johanna narrows her eyes at Katniss in hatred.

Peeta lifts Beetee into his arms whilst Katniss leads Wires towards the shallow water, trying to get her to clean the blood off. Witness just rubs her hands together muttering repeatedly

"Tick, tock."

Beetee was drinking some of the clean water when he saw some movement in the trees and the sound of rustling leaves. Someone had followed them
