A few days later, a friend of mine came from District 13. In addition, Enobaria, Beetee, Annie Cresta, Johanna Mason, Chaff, Seeder, Katniss Everdeen, Peeta Mellark, Haymitch Abernathy, and Effie Trinket also showed up—none of them were happy. In fact, Haymitch was so upset, he was sober!

"Hey, Ricky," I grinned.

"Lockie, we are ready—the bombs are locked on Tremaine Manor and ready to be launched," he answered.

Then I asked, "Why?"

"Drizella needs to learn to be nice to those who are weaker!" he protested.

I froze and said, "Give me and Ella two weeks to get as many people out as we can... Everyone except for our stepfamily and get Drizella to apologize."

"On national Panem TV," he insisted.

I nodded and ran inside.
