Chapter 1...ERIC'S POV...

"I've found a way to live with the blood on my hands, can you" I ask kneeling in front of four as he prepares to put a bullet in my skull. I've never killed anyone, all the things that I have done was just an elaborate act set up by the Bureau. They sent me to get close to the enemy to make sure that Tris stays safe. Only one other person in Chicago new about me and that was her mother. Natalie was sent here while she was pregnant with her, Tris' real father David didn't know at the time but as soon as he found out that Tris was his daughter he started grooming me at a young age so I could be placed here when the time was right, and three years ago he got wind of Jeanine's plans and placed me right under the bitches nose. I guess I'm about to fail my mission because I'm about to die for the crimes I didn't really commit, but I well die to keep her safe.

When I look to Tris I can't stop the fluttering of my heart, every time I look at her beautiful face I find myself thinking about what it would be like if things were different, some how I fell in love with her along the way. I feel a tear slid down my cheek as I look at her. I can see the confusion written all over face at my display of emotions, but I'm through trying to control them. So I give her a loving smile.

"You know, you piece of shit I think I can live with your blood on my hands" four says before he pulls the trigger.

I hear a beeping noise and a familiar voice to my right. I open my I eyes and see none other than David.

"Eric can you hear me" he ask and I just nod.

"Good, Good That's was a close one we almost didn't get to you in time, and switching the bullets in Fours gun was a pain in the ass as well" he tells me and my face must show confusion because so he continues to explain.

"You're not done with your mission yet son and I told you I would make sure you would survive this. So how are you feeling, I need you at your best right now because Tris and Tobias are on there way here as we speak, and Eric we have a problem, that son of a bitch Tobias was sent in to get close to Tris and at the same time get close to me to infiltrate the Bureau, it would seem the he's a spy for the rebels.

"Wait how long have I been out" I ask him setting up and becoming very light head.

"Three day" he tells me.

I jump up from the bed that I'm lying on and move toward the door.

"Come I want to greet the asshole and lock his ass up" I say opening the door.

"And tell Tris the truth" he stops "I know how you feel about my daughter Eric, not much gets by me you know" he laughs..

"Yeah well, it want matter if he kills her now will it"

I make my way to the armory to gear up making sure to put my Kevlar vest on as well.

"Eric you are not going to reveal your self to Tobias yet, I want him to think he's in the clear. So here's the plan, when they enter the compound I will welcome them and get Tris alone in my office to prove to her the situation, because you know how stubborn she can be, she will need proof to believe what we tell her because for one she thinks you are dead and before that she thought you were a murderer, now just calm yourself and go to my office and lock the door, when you see us coming on the camera monitors hide in the bathroom and wait for me to call you back into the room" He tells me and fuck if he's not right..

"Alright but hurry the fuck up, I need to see Tris" I tell him and head to his office to watch the show on the monitors.

As soon as I sit down at David's desk I bring up the view of the front entrance and wait. Five minutes later I see Tris and Tobias enter the compound accompanied by Rico. Where the fuck are her friend, something must have happened because I know for a fact that they would follow her anywhere. I'm brought out of my thoughts by there movement. David takes them on a tour of the compound and when they greet Nita I see her discretely pass something to Tobias.

"Fuck, Nita is his contact" I yell into the empty office.

David says something to Nita and she nods and escorts Tobias into her lab, Tris and David start to head this way so I quickly turn to another monitor and bring up Nita's lab I press record and quickly move to the bathroom and wait. Soon I hear Tris and David enter the office.

"Have a seat Tris I have a lot to tell you but first I want to show you something" I hear him say before it gets quiet.

"Why do you have a picture of you and my mother" I hear Tris' voice break a little.

"Because Tris I'm your real father not Andrew, you see you're mother and I were engaged before she was placed in Chicago. Before she left we didn't know she was pregnant with you. When I found out you were my daughter I started to train someone to protect you and the best way to protect you was to place him right under Jeanine's nose so to speak. You see you thought this person was a bad guy, a killer even but he never hurt a soul, every death under his hands was faked. All those people were relocated here I'll arrange for you to see them for your self. With that being said I want you to meet your guardian angel" After a couple of seconds he opens the bathroom door and I step out and give her the same smile I gave her before I "died".

I hear her breathe hitch and the look that she is giving me is of disbelief.

"Eric" she gasps.

"I'm so sorry I couldn't tell you Tris but your life was more important to me than your trust and you have to know that anything I've said or done to you was done to keep you safe sweetheart" I reach up and stroke her cheekbone with the pads of my fingers and to my surprise she leans into my touch, on impulse I pull her to me in a tight hug.

"How I saw Tobias kill you, I saw all the blood" She asks puling away from me.

"We switched his bullets and the blood was mostly fake" David speaks up.

"Mostly" Tris asks?

"It was just a flesh wound see" I take off my hat and show her the cut on my forehead "it's almost healed" I smile at her.

"That reminds me, David I saw Nita pass Tobias something when you introduced them I think she's his contact. I brought up the view in her lab and started the recording on that computer" I say point at said computer.

"What are you talking about" Tris ask me.

"Sweetheart I'm not the only one that was secretly placed in Chicago, Tobias was place there by a group of rebels that have been trying to bring the Bureau down for years. While my mission was to protect you, his was to deceive you, gain your trust and to get to David he also plans to kill you and you father. I'm so sorry Tris but it's the truth" I say before she collapse in my arms.

I hold her tightly in my arms until she calms down, when she looks back up at me I see the fire in her eyes that I love so much.

"David pull up the record of Nita's lab" I tell him pulling Tris closer to the monitor.

When David has the recording on the monitor he presses play and what we see doesn't shock me one bit but it brings Tris to her knees, Four has Nita pinned to the wall kissing the shit out of her.

"David can you bring them in here please" She ask and David nods picking up his phone.

"Tris where are your friends, I would have thought they'd follow you" I ask and I regret asking when she looks at me with tears running down her face.

"We were attacked on our way here, they were all killed before the bureau soldiers showed up" she cries.

"I'm so sorry sweetheart, but what did they look like, as in did they have red armbands on there right arms" I ask her and she looks at me and nods.

"Fuck, David the rebels killed her friends" I look up at him and he nod his heads deep in thought.

"You mean Tobias killed my friends" Tris says grinding her teeth.

"Yes" I tell her at the same time there's a knock on the door.

I stand and Wrap my arm around Tris protectively.

"Come in" David say loud enough for them to hear him.

Nita and Tobias walk in and Tobias looks at me and then to my arm around Tris not at all shocked to see me.

"I see your friend Nita has already told you that I'm alive" I tell him smiling.

"Get your fucking hands off of her" he yells at me and my smile brightens when Tris speaks up.

"I know everything Tobias, your fake life in Chicago, the rebels and that you let them kill my friends, your relationship with this piece of trader trash and the fact that you were using me to get to my father" she spits out at the asshole.

Tobias swallows hard and looks at me.

"What's your involvement with this" he asks me jesters all around with his arm.

"I was sent to protect her from Jeanine and now from you" I tell him pulling Tris behind me.

Four guards come in and hand cuffs them both.

"You both are under arrest" I tell him and Tris walks up to four and punches the shit out of him.

"You sick son of a pitch if I ever see you again I'll make you wish you were dead" she walks back over to me.

"Can you get me out of here" she asks me and I nod.

"Eric we kept your apartment as it was before you left, here" He says handing me the key. I nod and grab tris' hand and lead her to my apartment.

We make it to my apartment and David was right, everything is the same as I left it. I pass Tris a bag of clothes that David gave me to give her and show her the spare bedroom and bathroom so she can freshen up. While she's in the shower David drops off some food for us and tells me that we will be interrogating the prisoners tomorrow and to bring Tris if she feels up to it.

Twenty minutes later she walks in wearing a tank top and a pair of short and my mouth goes dry, God she is so beautiful.

"David brought us some food, I hope you are hungry" I say and she smiles at me.

"Can I ask you something Eric" she asks as I hand her a plate.

"You can ask me anything Sweetheart" I tell her smiling as I sit down.

"Why did you say my life means more to you than my trust" she asks blushing.

I reach over and caress her cheek as she looks at me.

"Tris don't get me wrong, I want you to trust me but I would take your safety over that any day. You see somewhere along the way I fell in love with you and it got harder and harder to act like I hated you. The day that Tobias shot me I really thought that was it, and when I looked at you I felt at peace with my fate because you were still alive, I died for you that day and I'd do it again in a heartbeat. I know you don't feel the same and I'm not expecting anything from you, but I really want to be your fr-" I'm cut off by her lips, it doesn't deepen but it wakes every part of me up, I never felt more alive in my life.

When she pulls away she doesn't move far, I feel her hand on my cheek and I lean into it. I open my eyes she's so close and I can see the fire in her eye's that I love.

"Thank you Eric, for everything and I'm not gonna friend zone someone like you but with everything that's happened, we can start there" She says placing her lips to mine again.

"You got a deal sweetheart" I say against her lips.

*TRIS DOESN'T HAVE A BROTHER IN THIS STORY.

I HOPE YOU LIKE IT.
