I wake up to the loud sounds of an alarm. My hand instantly feel under my pillow for my gun but it's not there. I stare at the room for a minute until I look down to see Tris's back and can't help but smile as last night's events come to my mind. I turn the annoying alarm off and then lay back into the bed, pulling Tris's back into my chest.

I kiss her shoulder and I hear her yawn and then sigh in contentment.

"Morning" I whisper into her shoulder and kiss it lightly again.

"Morning" she mumbles and then yawns again "What time is it?" She asks

"Quarter past seven, why?" I ask as I nibble on her shoulder slowly. Suddenly Tris jumps out of bed, her hair wiping my face as she frantically searches for her clothes.

"What's wrong?" I ask as I watch her run around the room, putting on her clothes from the night before

"It's the twins first day of school" She says and I want to laugh at her for being so ridiculous

"You're seriously not actually letting the twins go to school after yesterday's incident" I say and when she turns to stare at me, my eyes go wide " ... are you?" I ask hesitantly. She sighs and walks towards me. She kisses me on the lips and looks me dead in the eyes

"Yes I am and you better not argue with me because nothing you do or say will change my mind" She says and I keep my mouth shut, knowing that I could beg and she would not let me win this one. I sigh and nod my head . She smiles, kisses me one more time and runs down the steps to get breakfast ready for the twins. I sigh, stretch my arms above my head and get out of bed. I put on my pants and thinking the twins are probably still asleep walk into the hall and towards my bedroom.

As I am rubbing my eyes, I feel someone walk into me and my eyes spring open when I hear giggling . I smile a bit embarrassed and look down to the twins who look to be ready for school.

"You don't have shirt on" Izzy gasp and I cant help smile at their shocked expressions.

"I know" I say " Are you guys already for school. Excited?" I ask, changing the topic. Both girls excitedly nodded their heads.

"We can't wait" Izzy says bouncing up and down " You're going to be here when we get back, right?" She looks up at me worriedly

"I'll be dropping you off an picking you up." I say and she happily nods her head.

"I need to get ready, your mom is downstairs making you breakfast" I say and they happily run off . I walk into my room and get ready for the day, smiling when I realize that this has been the second day where I have had no nightmare because of Tris.

I walk downstairs and my eye bulge , seeing Sam sitting in what looks to be a gym uniform and Jared in a pair of overalls

"Undercover at the school sir" Sam mumbles before I can ask what the fuck he was wearing and then I remember we had assigned Sam and Jared to watch out for the twins during the day. I quietly nod my head, keeping my smile in check and quickly scurf down breakfast.

"Mom, Izzy wants to know where Teddy is" Izzy says , eating her cereal

"He's probably in your closet . You can go get him hun" Tris says, sitting down and eating . The girls quickly eat and run off upstairs. I look at her confusingly

"Teddy, her stuffed bear. Eric gave it to her when she was born . She never sleeps without it, unless she's with someone she trust. It's usually with her everywhere but lately I haven't seen it." She says and smiles up at me "That means she feels safe with you" Tris says and I can't help the giant smile .

The girls come back running downstairs and Lizzy hugs a really torn up and faded out brown stuffed animal.

"Sir, we should leave now if you don't want the girls to be late" Sam says rising up. Everyone follows suit and Zeke and Shauna and the rest of the team stay behind to guard the house.

Sam leans down and hands each of the girls a pretty necklace with a heart shape locket on it "If you have this on, it will keep you safe" Sam says and both the girls smile up in appreciation. Sam neglects to tell them each locket has a tracking device and a small mic and camera in it that are linked to everyone's bracelets. We will be able to know where they are and what they have been doing all day.

We all pile up in my car and we drive to the school. Sam and Jared go to the main office to get their new roles as a gym teacher and a janitor sorted out while Tris and I walk towards the classroom.

The classroom is huge and there are little kids everywhere, playing with toys and laughing. Izzy is bouncing with excitement and Lizzy clutches her bear but she too looks happy.

"And who are you two cuties" I hear a vaguely familiar voice and turn and I have to stop myself from groaning out in frustration. It's Jessica, the teacher who helped us to the office on enrollment day. When she sees me she smiles big and I resist the urge to cringe.

"How are you doing? It's nice seeing you two again" She smiles politely at both of us but lingers on me .

"I'm Izzy and this is Lizzy " Izzy bounces up and down. " Can we go play with the dolls" Izzy asks before Jessica could say anything. Jessica nods her head the girls run off. Jessica turns to look at us

"You two have very cute kids" She forces a smile at Tris and I internally roll my eyes at her. Tris slide glances at me and I nod my head, not correcting Jessica. No, the girls aren't mine but I feel like they are. The sudden realization of how attached I am makes me frown because one day they will have to leave and it's going to hurt.

"Are you ok?" Jessica asks in fake concern and I nod my head.

"So you will be teaching the twins huh" I ask warily, and her eyes go wide and she shakes her head

"No, I'm teaching the upper grades this year. I was just checking everything out here" She says and I mentally do a happy dance

"Who is the teacher" Tris asks

"That would be me" A voice from behind Jessica comes and we turn to look at a pretty brunette. She smiles at us and shakes Tris's hand and when I don't grab her hand all she does is smiles at me and goes on talking with Tris. After getting to know the teacher we turn to leave . Tris has a hard time leaving but I grab her hand and re-assure her that the twins would be fine. They are under 24/7 hour surveillance and Sam and Jared could be with them within 5 second flat if anything were to go wrong.

We get in the car and arrive back at the house within 15 minutes. We would have arrived earlier but I was driving slow because Tris looked to be ready to jump out the car and go back to the school.

"They will be fine. It was you who wanted this remember?" I say gently as we enter the drive way and immediately stiffen up when I see Amar's car . Tris recognizes his car too and she looks at me worriedly. We get out and quickly walk to the entrace.

"Amar, Zeke?" I call from the entrance. When I don't get a answer back I turn to Tris. " Shh, stay behind me" I whisper and pull my gun from its holster.

I walk forward and I see a shadow coming from the kitchen, and I steady the gun in front of me, making sure the safety is off.

"Yo, Four I.." Zeke says and at the last second I pull my finger off the trigger. Zeke stares at me with wide eyes

"What the hell is the matter with you?" I growl at him, pushing past him and into the kitchen, where Shauna and Sam and the rest of the team sit at the kitchen table,, hunched over a laptop

"Me? You almost shot me" I hear Zeke yell from the living room and I ignore his cry and sit in front of Amar. If he is here, it can't be good news

"What's going on" I ask Amar and he doesn't even look up from the laptop that Shauna types on

"we got a hold of one of Erc's phone call after the incident yesterday, but it's from an encrypted phone and I'm trying to hack it" Shauna says without taking her eyes of the computer. Her fingers move fast over the keys.

"Do you think you can do it?" Riley, one of Sam's guys asks

"Of course she can. She's the best nerd we got" Zeke says from the kitchen entrance and Shauna rolls her eyes. I nod my head because beside being able to kick ass , Shauna is the world's best computer decrypter. If there is anything to do with computer she's the person to call. She's even hacked her way into Amar's computer as a challenge and we were all pretty shock when she got in within a few hours.

Shauna scuffs at Zeke but doesn't stop her work. " This may take a few hours. This some high tech phone with codes I haven't seen before" Shauna says, her eyes brows wrinkling in annoyance and frustration

"But can you do it ?"Amar asks and Shauna stops and looks up at him

" Give me till tomorrow night" She says, picking up the laptop " Do not bother me" She snaps and storms out of the room

" Well, she's going to be a barrel of fun now" Zeke groans and I scuff at him. Amar looks up at me eerily calm and I know what's going to come. He's going to be pissed that I let Eric see Tris at the mall

"So, I heard you had an exciting day yesterday" He asks and I internally cringe but nod at him . When he narrows his eyes at me , I know that I'm in serious shit

"Yes sir" I answer stiffly, hating to be formal with him

"So what happened to not letting him near her" He asks angrily and I bite my tongue so I don't lash out at him. I hear Tris come in the room .

"I need to show you something upstairs... Sir" I say indicating for him to follow me .When we get into the room , I shut the door behind him and turn to him

"I didn't want Tris hearing our convo. Didn't want her to be scared" I explain and he nods his head

"She should be scared. It'll keep her safe... How the hell could you let him come that close Four!" He finally explodes and I bite my lips this time from shouting back at him

"Wasn't that the whole idea" I hiss back at him. " Make them more visible to them

"watch yourself sergeant" he growls back at me " the plan never involved him getting so close that he actually talked to the girls " he growls back and nod at him. He's right. It was my fault, I became too distracted and wasn't focused enough to look out for him.

"You're right. I got distracted, but I promise you it won't happen again"

"You're right, it won't happen again." He says. He opens the door and looks back at me "Eric knows that you guys live close , it won't be long before he finds out where exactly. I am moving Tris and the twins out the first thing in the morning." my eyes go wide and my jaw almost drops open. This is what I feared " Without you . You're going to stay here with the rest of the team and figure out a way to catch them" He says and then walks out the room.

I stare at the empty doorway, my heart clenching painfully.

Leave Tris? ...
