Tobias
My alarm on my phone went off at 4:00am. I had my earphones in my ears so that I would be the only one to hear it. I looked over behind me to check and see if Tris was asleep. I watched as her back was turned away from me. Her snoring put my anxiety to rest as I grabbed my clothes and shoved them in a duffel bag. The moonlight shined through our room so I could still see where everything was.
I sauntered over to the bathroom and grabbed a glock-40 from a false bottom from our cabinet. I had only a few moments before she would wake hearing all of the little commotion. Working for secret service will teach you a few things about light sleeping. I shoved all of my gadgets that held my palm pilates, fake cellphone, mask, lazer-tech contacts, tracker pins, flashlight, and radar. I had to end this once and for all. I know it would hurt my family. I didn't know when I'd ever see them again, but I had to pay for the mistakes that I made. My wife didn't deserve this. She shouldn't have to live in hiding especially….
Theo
With my duffel bag wrapped around my back I walked into his room and watched him sleep quietly. It was amazing how much he reminded me of his mother. His hair, nose, eyes, not to mention attitude. I chuckled to myself. I remember the day he was born. I didn't even want to hold him, scared that I would drop him. Ironically, I was the first one he saw. That feeling has never left. The thought of something happening to my son sent shivers up and down my spine. This is why I had to leave. To protect him. I knew that if Jeanine wouldn't be able to find Tris and I,….she could find our son. His documents of birth were still accessible. And I couldn't let that happen. Not even our friends could freeze his legal paperwork.
I fought back the emotion as I placed a silent kiss on his tiny little head. "I love you. Take care of your mother while I'm gone"
Once I turned off the security system. I left.
Tris
I zipped my sweatshirt and grabbed my cellphone.
"Hello?" Christina's voice sounded muffled.
"I'm on the move"
She sighed "Be careful"
"Take care of my son"
I strapped myself with my weapons and trackers. I placed my earpiece on and shielded it away with my hair.
I kissed Theo on the forehead causing him stir under his blanket, silent tears escaped my eyes. "Be good"
I left a note on his desk for instructions to Christina of my routes and code to enter my tracker. And created a video for my son of me playing with his bear. That way he would be able to wake up to me every day if he needed to.
I took a silent picture of him on my phone. "I'm so sorry" I choked. I hurried out of the house before I changed my mind and ran down the street.
The tracker I had implanted in Tobias's gun began to beep and I followed the coordinates correctly to his location.
-Memory-
The man pushed Tobias into the wall and wailed on him, until he grabbed the man's throat and slammed him down on the ground. Tris heard something 'POP' and eventually blood rushed on either side of his head.
"FOUR" Tris yelled as she saw a familiar female agent with red hair come after him with a knife. Tobias raised his head and swung the woman over his head. The girl leaped back up and
Swung her leg, hitting him right across the face. Tobias fell headfirst and Tris, arms still locked up, stared down the woman.
The redhead smiled "I'm going to enjoy torturing you, Ms. Prior" She whirled the knife around and slung it towards tris. The
Knife whipped past against her ear. Tris winced as the blood seeped down the side of her face.
"Moll-ly…pl-lease, you don't have to do this"
Molly smirked "I always waited for the day you'd beg me for your life"
"Then I guess, you'll have to keep waiting" Tobias crept behind her hitting her in the head with a silver rod. Tris closed her eyes in disgust. He set her free and took her hand.
"We don't have time for that Tris, we've got to go get the contract"
Tris, beaten and bruised, wheezed from lack of oxygen. "I can't…I do-n-n-n't have-"
Tobias picked her up before she fell "I got you, Tris. Just hold on"
-End Memory-
Tobias
"Thank You" I said taking my ticket from the airport attendant.
"FLIGHT 29 TO ILLINOIS WILL BE LEAVING IN THE NEXT 5 MIN. ALL PASSENGERS REPORT TO GATE 29"
I shuffled my belongings and sprayed cologne activator over my clothes so that security pads and metal wouldn't sense my weapons. The plane seemed tight at first but I adjusted as soon as I took my seat. No one sat by me so I took the window seat. Gazing over the sky the only thing I could think about was Tris and the night of our escape. To this day I have no idea of how we made it out, sometimes I feel as though Jeanine, the secret service coordinator, allowed us to leave. But then again, why would she let us escape for this long? It had been two years. Oh well. I guess all would reveal when I got there. I places my mask over my mouth and latex gloves on my hands. I couldn't leave any traces of my DNA.
I was almost half asleep until I heard a "psst" coming from the corner. I slowly opened my eyes and there sat an elder gentlemen eyeing my feet that laid on the seat across from me. I rolled my eyes in annoyance and removed my feet.
He gave a sheer apologetic smile and plugged in his headphones. His headphones reminded me of Tris's. She loved skull candies. I sighed in frustration. I missed her already. The absence of her was everywhere I looked the closer we got to Illinois.
I opened up my phone and gazed at the picture of my family on my phone. I wanted to call her more than anything in the world. But I couldn't. Once I made it to Chicago I would have to destroy my phone. Any trace or call of her and she would be in danger.
"Dammit" I cursed. I couldn't let my emotions get the best of me. It was too late for that.
I was starting to regret this whole trip. What was I doing? My wife needed me. I needed to go home. Apologize. Maybe I could call her this one time before I got there, at least just explain it was 6:10am. I placed my password and began to dial her number, but before I could press the "CALL" button. The PA came on.
"GOOD MORNING ALL, THIS IS YOUR CAPTAIN HERE. JUST REMINDER TO ALL OF OUR PASSENGERS THAT WE WILL BE LANDING IN CHICAGO, ILLINOIS IN THE NEXT 10MIN. ONCE WE LAND, WE ASK ALL PASSENGERS TO REMAIN SEATED AND ALLOW THE FLIGHT ATTENDANTS TO ASSIST AND DIRECT YOU TO YOUR NEXT DESTINATION. THANK YOU FOR YOUR CORPORATION AND WE HOPE YOU ENJOYED THE FLIGHT"
"You've got to be kidding me" I protested. I pinched the bridge of my noise.
Taking one last glance at my family on my cellphone I sighed "I'm so sorry. I'll find way…I'll find another way to see you again"
Christina
"And then I told her when I reached the breach that I couldn't stay there longer. I mean it was too dangerous to stay. Either way. Tris and I are going to have a hard time finding these agents who Jeanine has sent" I said unlocking the door to my best friend's home. "I'll call you back, Tori. I have to watch Theo while their gone. In the mean time I need you to keep an eye on Tris and four's every move. We cannot afford to lose our leaders. Also, keep in contact with our crew. I have a feeling some weird things are going to happen with this trip Four has planned."
She chuckled "Got it mother"
I rolled my eyes "Funny" and snapped my phone shut. I walked over to the staircase until I heard something smash upstairs. "Theo" I called out panicking.
"THEO!" I ran as fast as I could to his bedroom. Why wasn't he responding? He usually cries or makes some kind of noise when I call him. I slid into his bedroom and turned on the light. Sauntering over to his cradle I saw Theo with tape over his mouth and a red lipstick kiss mark over the tape. He was flinging his arms around whimpering under the tape and I instantly took it off and pulled him out of his cradle. His wails grew louder and louder as I rocked him.
"it's okay, baby. It's okay. I'm here, shhh, shhh" I eyed the room and saw that the Theo's window had been broken and as I inched closer to the window I saw a faint little blood smidge.
"Fuck"
