StellaNiteWolfblood, it's a shame we won't see his embarrassment :D. Haha yay! Thanks! Your idea will be put into place soon with a bit of alteration x
Hannah(Guest) whew, you're welcome!
Only two? Guys, me sad. Where are all my usual readers at?
Apologies for the late update, I was at church for 12+ hours and I got home really late so I couldn't update. Which I'm grateful for because this chapter was awful.
Shauna is 12 weeks along and Tris is 5 weeks along.
"Doesn't this sickness ever stop?" Tris groans as I hold her hair and rub her back, hoping it is soothing. I chuckle and she glares at me, standing up. I flush the toilet for her and she splashes her face, and rinses her mouth, before looking in the mirror at me.
"If I could be in your position, I would be." I speak, hugging her from behind. She smiles softly and shakes her head.
"I know. That is what I admire about you. You want to take the load off my shoulders and place it on yours. However, your presence just simply makes things easier. Just stay with me." She turns in my arms and encircles my neck with her own, going onto her toes and pecking my lips.
"Always," I whisper, bending my head down for a longer kiss. She beams on my lips but pulls away before my tongue could invade her mouth.
"I just vomited," she deadpans. I shrug and she giggles, slapping my chest. I grab her hand, kiss it and lead her out of the bathroom.
"David's gone," Matthew announces as he slips into the room after us. Tris let her jaw fall and her hand goes slack in mine.
"Some colleagues of mine discovered plans of something called the memory loss serum. He's intending to use it on Chicago."
"What?" Everyone bursts out. Matthew clears his throat and adjusts his glasses.
"However, there is the reversal serum. It is locked away in a high security vault that even a Divergent could not pass through. Well, unless they have three factions or more..."
"Don't even think about it, Bea," Sarah says firmly. Tris blinks and sighs, looking down. I squeeze her hand and we all share looks.
"David has the key to it. We do not know where it is or where he is."
"The memory loss serum doesn't take full action until an hour after activation. The reversal serum has to be released during that time period."
"Where's the vault?" I ask curiously.
"Basement," he states. I nod.
"Who's a Divergent? With the exception of Sarah and Tris," Bud speaks. I raise my hand, along with Uriah, Eric and Amber.
Peter's face contorts into hurt but he replaces it with a blank face. I'm guessing he never forgave her for not telling him.
"Oh, fuck it. I'm Divergent too," Hector grunts. We all look at him incredulously. Hector fidgets nervously and Lynn narrows her eyes at him.
"You know that, how?"
"Mum took me through the fears."
"I'll kill her," Lynn growls. Sarah furrows her eyebrows but keeps quiet.
"That's it?" I speak. No one else says anything.
"Okay. Eric, you are going in. Assuming you have three."
"Erudite, Dauntless and Candor," he mumbles.
"Okay, I can believe the Candor bit," Tris mutters.
"Wait, why him?" Tori inquires.
"Uriah has a girlfriend, will be the only uncle of Shauna's baby, and has more to lose. Sarah, we cannot lose her and she is too young. Hector, same thing. Tris, she is eligible, but is pregnant. I am going to be a father. Amber, well she could do it," I explain.
"Fuck that," Peter growls. I raise my hands in surrender.
"You have less to lose than the rest of us."
"You only have a 25% chance of dying," Matthew tells him. Eric scoffs and grumbles.
"Fine. By the way, I do have a girlfriend, thank you very much."
"The girl from three days ago?" Zeke questions. Eric nods.
"He managed to keep a girl for longer than 12 hours. Huh, that is an accomplishment. I'm impressed," Tris muses. Eric glares at her playfully.
"We'll talk you through it. There will be a timer counting down the time remaining before the memory serum has full effect and a blue button beside it. That is what you need to press. You'll have to wear a white suit because during the break in, death serum will be sprayed."
"What the?" Eric shouts. Matthew flinches. Tris groans.
"You couldn't mention this before because...?" Shauna rolls her eyes.
"We need to find David first though?" Edward points out. Tris bites her lip besides me and her eyes widen.
"Wait, when we first came, I saw something abnormal about the waterfall. It looked... projected in some way. There seemed to be an opening."
"Yeah, I saw that!" Will exclaims, "It's real, but, erm how to explain this? You all know Super Mario Bros, the game they showed us?"
"Yeah," We say in unison. Will nods.
"In a world, there's a water level where Mario has to follow Toad into the waterfall to get a prize," Will explains as he walks out the door, us following. We reach the waterfall and he puts his hand through it.
"It's water. However, you'll notice that you can't see my hand on the other side. It's covering a wall, with a door in it," Will concludes, looking around.
"You're looking for what exactly?" Sarah questions.
"A switch."
"Here," Hector calls out, crouching down and clicking an almost invisible button that is the same colour as the rocks surrounding the fall. The water stops instantly and Will's theory was correct. There is a clear glass door right in front of us.
"He's in here," Tris states.
"You guys have been here for what? 8 days, and already you have figured out his hiding place. Even I didn't know that!" Matthew says in astonishment. I hold up a finger and everyone looks at me.
"It's not automatic because it would have opened already. Is there a keypad or finger scanner?" Will scours the area and stares at the floor surrounding the door. Eric steps forwards and clicks his tongue after a few moments. Will proceeds to walk towards the door but Eric blocks him with his arm.
"There's a sensor underneath the floor. I'm assuming that if it feels a certain amount of weight, it will open," Eric explains.
"So it's programmed to feel David's weight and the door opens." Will nods.
"We need a wheelchair and some heavy stuff to put on top."
"What's his weight?" Tris asks Matthew.
"Approximately 60kg."
"And how much does a wheelchair weigh?" Tris questions again.
"10kg."
"Wait, so he's the same weight as me?" Sarah raises her eyebrow.
"He's a very skinny man." Matthew shrugs.
"Anyways, so we need something that is 50kg," Eric states.
"We have a statue head of him."
"That's 50kg?" I ask incredulously.
"It's a surprise, I know," Matthew sighs, leading us to a room that is dedicated to the owners of the Bureau. The room is filled with photos and statues of former founders. I roll my eyes and stare at the one in the middle.
"There it is." Uriah points and walks towards it.
"Wait! There's an alarm on it." Eric narrows his eyes at Matthew.
"You didn't let me type in the code," Matthew groans as he presses many buttons on a keypad besides the head. We see the invisible lasers before it fizzes out then Uriah picks it up.
"You people are crazy," Zeke mutters as we walk back to the glass door. Uriah places the bust onto the wheelchair and the glass door slides open.
"Good. Now don't step on the sensors because the door will close," Eric orders before jumping into the elevator. We all follow then press the last button on the wall. We step out and are met with a science lab. A door is in the corner which I figure leads to the high security vault.
"Well, well, well. You've made it to my lair," David chuckles, emerging from the shadows.
"Ugh, why is it every villain comes from the shadows?" Sarah whines and we all laugh, sparking David's annoyance. He clicks a button on his wheelchair and a projector switches on, showing a timer.
"You have 24 hours, before the memory serum is released into Chicago. Good luck," He laughs darkly, wheeling into the elevator and goes upwards. Tris dashes to it and pushes the button.
"He's deactivated the elevator!" Everyone groans and look around the room for possible exits.
"Can't we just open that door?" I ask. Matthew looks where I'm pointing and shakes his head, staring at blueprints.
"According to these, that's another way into the vault." I was right.
"But, death serum is sprayed first." Moodkill.
"We have to do something!" Shauna yells. Zeke rubs her back.
"Baby, calm down."
"Oh, yeah like that's easy to do," she growls. Tris walks to her and shakes her head. Zeke steps away and stands beside me.
"It's tough being with a pregnant girl, dude."
"You know it," I chuckle. The two glare at us and we raise our hands in surrender.
"What are we going to do?" Hector voices. We all stare at each other, fear evident on our faces. What are we going to do?
Till later, BooksLover2000...
