I was trembling as I held onto the train with my life. As traveling between Districts is forbiddon, it was so hard sneaking onto a coal train, that Percy and I had to ride on the top.
We waited silently, though I was screeching on the inside. I was relieved when we pulled into the District 8 station. I hopped off quickly, making sure to steer clear of the Peacekeepers unloading coal.
I signaled to Percy that the coast was clear, then he hopped off and followed me. We quickly met the others putside of the station, and we found out how we risked our lives for nothing.
"So," I began, agitated. "We came all this way, and we don't even know where Jack lives?"
"Affermitive," Gale muttered.
"I can do a quick fly by," Abi suggested.
"Good idea," I told her. "One thing. Won't alarms be raised if someone saw a dead tribute flying in the air?"
"Good point," Abi agreed. Then she disappeared. Then reappeared. "One thing, I can turn invisible."
It was then that a question that was hiding in the back of my brain came out.
"Where's Wyatt?" I blurted.
"I don't know," Abi told me.
"He glitched the system," Devan confirmed. "Anyone else notice there were two cannon shots for Abi? And then an accidental second picture in the sky the next night?"
"I noticed that as well," Gale answered. "But I thought I was going crazy."
"I can't have the final say," I responded. "I was unconcious almost the whole games."
"Let's not think about-" Abi began.
"I swear I noticed him in the background, jumping from tree to tree when Gloriosa and Jack were taken out of the arena," Tanaka told us.
"I also saw the weird shadow then," Mira, Victor of the 91st Games, mentioned. "But I thought it was a trick of the light."
"Guys, can we please just-" Abi tried again.
"That was no trick of the light," Alexander concluded. "I was a cameraman for The Capitol for years. I know a camera flare when I see it. That blur was a person, no doubt."
"Can we just concentrate on-"
"Don't they store the arena's underground?" Percy asked. "Wouldn't they have noticed if there was someone there?"
"Not exactly," Breeia Tonks answered. "The arenas sink into the ground into chambers afterward. No human dismatalation required."
"But Katniss told me-"
"Ut, ut ut ut ut!" Breeia exclaimed. "Would you rather listen to a tribute in her 40s, or a former Head Gamemaker who only resigned a few weeks ago when Abi told me what was really going on?"
"Fair point."
"Guys!" Abi cried. We all turned her way. "How am I supposed to concentrate on the mission if I know Wyatt is still in the arena!?"
