Chapter 9
Tobias POV
We arrive in Boston and it feels that we have been driving forever. As I jump down from the truck both Christina and myself are both ready to raid the Bureau this very second I pick up a gun but before I go any further Caleb is in fount of me. I know that he can sense that I want to go but he puts his hand on mine and tells me that we need to go and speak to Benjamin first. He looks at me and says,
"They know this place, let us talk to them before we go running off and start another war. We need to find a safe way to get in there and get Tris out. It's no good if you get killed before we save her."
I sigh I now he is right and drag my hand down the back of neck and nod in agreement, but just because what he has said makes sense it doesn't mean that I will wait around to be told I can save her. I am not standing by and waiting to find out she has been killed again. I look over at Christina and I can see that she is thinking the same as me. We may have followed Caleb but it doesn't mean that we trust him.
We follow Caleb in to a shack and see Kyia run over to an older man. After she hugs him she turns round and says
"This is my father Benjamin he has spoken to the others that are trying to fight the Bureau and they will be here soon. Come and have some food and drink and the others will be here soon to talk."
She turned to her father and asked.
"Have you spoken to Daniel. If he knows we may be able to get Sky back, he will defiantly want to help." You can hear the hope in her voice.
Benjamin's Voice is gruff when he responds.
"Kyia there is something that I need to tell you. Sky wasn't taken by the Bureau, she went voluntarily Daniel and I both tried to stop her but she wouldn't listen she wanted to try and make a difference and believed this was the best way to do it. She has caused problems with the Serums that Matthew has worked on and has also managed to slow down his work. She met up with Daniel Yesterday and has managed to get copies of the blueprints for the Bureau. Daniel has them. She has also got the access codes for the control room. We are going to need someone who is Erudite and can sort the computers out. They will need to hack the system and loop the feeds so that security can't see that we are taking that girl and Sky out of there. Sky said that we need to get this girl out soon something to do with the sims and the fact Matthew is going to start experimenting on the children again."
Kyia looked at her father for a minute as if to take in the fact that he had known where Sky had been all along and that she was fine. I saw her turn to Caleb and they walked out of the room.
Benjamin looked at me then said
"So I take it you are this girls boyfriend from Dauntless. Who did you bring with you? Sky has everything planned for tomorrow so we need to plan tonight"
"firstly" I growled "That girl you keep referring to is called Tris get that right and we can move forward" I was getting angrier by the minute how many times did Tris put her Life on the line to save people and they still didn't recognise this.
I took a deep breath and concentrated on what needed to be planned I was about to speak when another man walked in to the room.
"This is a Daniel" Benjamin said before I could ask.
I Ignored him and started to talk.
"We have 7 dauntless trained soldiers with us we have 2 from Erudite 1 from Amity and 1 from Abnegation. What did you have in mind?"
It was Daniel that answered this time. He walked over with a map.
"I need to know that those who go with you will follow what we plan now and that they won't change it because if they do it will fall apart for Sky. I don't know why Sky sees this girl as so important. But for me the important thing is Sky comes out of this alive ok?"
I smile at myself and can imagine giving the exact same speech if our roles were reversed. I smiled at Daniel and said
"I completely understand and with what this group of people have accomplished this far they will fight and we will win. We will bring both of them home safe. Well what's the plan?
"As Benjamin said we have the blue prints and Sky has given us the access codes so that we can get through the doors. She knows the routes that have little security coverage and if we can get to the control room and loop the films we will then go to Tris's room and get them both out. We need someone who can understand the coding of the computer systems and be able to loop the footage to cover the fact that we are going. Do you have anyone who can do that?"
I Think about who came with us and smile
"Caleb and Cara are both Erudite and could probably do it with their eyes closed they have also spent time with the computer systems that both David and Matthew were using in the Airport outside of Chicago. However, I have serious issues with Caleb being anywhere near Tris. I would use Cara and Zeke in The control room. Zeke would be able to stop anyone coming in the room to stop us and Cara as I said before could probably do this with her hands tied behind our back. The rest of us from Dauntless will go to Tris's room and meet up with her and Sky. I get the feeling that you will want to be anywhere Sky is, am I right?"
I smile at him again knowing what I have said is true and again think about how similar we are.
He smiles too in that moment and nods his head in agreement.
"What about the others?" he says
"Well Caleb can stay here ready to drive out as soon as we get back, Susan is a healer and she should be ready to deal with anyone coming in who is injured. Robert I have no idea in all honesty may be he can help Susan the rest of us will go out to the Bureau."
The plans are set and we need to head out a 9 o'clock the following morning. I go to find the others to tell them what will be happening and when I go outside and I see Christina she is sitting near a fire talking with a man. I hadn't seen her smile in that way since Will was around during initiation. I walk over to her she looks up and smiles I ask her to get the others together so that I can explain what will be happening. With everyone in the loop and prepared with what tomorrow will bring we all laid down to get some sleep. Tris was in reach of me again and I was just meant to sleep I closed my eyes and waited for sleep to come and I knew it was going to be a really long night.
Sky POV the next morning
Matthew has called me up to his office I have no idea what he wants but I hope he is quick. They will be leaving in a few minutes and I have to make sure that I am her with when they get here so we can both get out.
"I know what you have been doing"
Matthew says. I keep my eyes on his and make sure that I react as if I don't what he is talking about.
"You have been changing the readings from the sims her heart rate, the brain patterns making it look like she can only do one sim at a time. All you have done is slow down my work. However, my trust in you is now lost so all of the time you are working with her now you will have one of My Guards. His name is Nathaniel and where ever you go he will go also. Now I want you to go down to the Simulation room and get it set up for Tris to Do a Dauntless Sim. All of the computers have been recalibrated so this time you won't be able to change things." He has a look of Controlled anger on his face as he says this.
There is a knock on the door and a guard walks in.
"This is Nathanial" Matthew states he looks at him then simply says
"Make sure you leave her at my place when she finishes her work."
After that he waves his hand and we are dismissed.
I am taken down to Tris's room it is only 30 minutes until they should be arriving I can't think of any way that I can Stall this Guy but my mind has gone blank.
When I enter her room she looks at me with hope but I have none that I can offer her. I indicate for her stand and we are then followed to the simulation room.
She gets up on the table without asking any questions then when I have done the straps the guards check to make sure they are secure.
I look over at Tris and I smile I want to tell her I am sorry that I have done everything I could and that they will be coming but we are not where we should be. I walk over with apprehension and I Push the needle in her neck.
"I am sorry" is all I say as a single tear rolls down my cheek. As I watch her eyes close.
Tobias POV
We are all ready to leave Daniel has told me that he has been able to get someone else on the inside who will help us if we have any problems. We have made it far as the first door and Cara is keying in the first code. It opens without any problems. Zeke and Cara are the front with the rest of us Behind. Cara has committed to memory the path that we have to take and how we can miss the cameras at the right time. After the 3rd security door we have made it to the Control room there are only 2 men in it and with them not really expecting us to be there they are easy to take down. Zeke smashes one in the face and he goes down like a sack of potatoes the other tries to land a punch on my face but I duck away quickly Kneeing him in the stomach then while he is doubled over I bring the butt of my gun down on his head and he is unconscious. I look over at the monitors that Zeke and Cara have started to look at I can see the Tris is not in the room she is supposed to be in. We hunt through the monitors and I see her strapped to a table with electrodes on her head and I can see her screaming I get Zeke to go on to that screen. As the volume is turned up I can hear screaming
"Help Four help me please"
I turn form the screens ready to run but Zeke hold me back.
"We have to finish the loop before you go otherwise anyone watching that room will see when Tris leaves and then we will have war"
I Nod knowing what he has said is right but it is killing me to have to hear her screaming for me to help her and still not be able to do anything. I look at Zeke pleadingly trying to make them both hurry don't they understand what this is doing to me. Then Zeke Turns to me and says
"Go it's done. Bring her back here and we will all leave together"
I choose to leave everyone back in the control room and only Take Daniel with me he is the only one who knows and understands what I am feeling right now and because of that he is the only one I trust. We run through corridors and when I see the Door to the Sim room I ready my gun out for the guard on the other side. But before I can push the Door open Daniel stops me. He knocks on the door 3 times then twice then Once. As the door opens I see a young women come out she looks around and then bacons us in to the room. The guard is still there but he is smiling at Daniel and for the first time I recognise that he is the man that Christina was talking to last night.
I walk straight over to Tris who has stopped screaming but is now crying in her sleep. I turn to Sky and say
"Well wake her up we need to go now."
Sky looks at me with sadness in her eyes.
"I can't" a tears roll down her face as Daniel holds her against his Chest.
"She has taken control of the sim. Only she can choose to end it now. She wants to hide and has chosen to be with you in her dreams."
