CHAPTER 36

FOUR POV

I wake early and go for my run with Eric. It is good to know that today will be his last day in Dauntless. Max is planning to arrest him and the other leaders as we carry out our plans. He has the Dauntless patrol teams on standby, ready to arrest the three leaders and the other twenty Dauntless members that we know are involved with Jeanine and Erudite. There is also three teams that will take down Jeanine and the other Erudite traitors in the Erudite compound.

I go down to the cafeteria to get some breakfast. The plan is taking place at lunch time. That way we know that most of Dauntless will be in the cafeteria and nowhere near the warehouse or surrounding buildings when we attack. This will be the best way to stop unnecessary injuries to innocent people.

I walk into the cafeteria and see Zeke, Shauna, Uriah and Tris all sitting together. Even though the rankings haven't come out yet it seems we have all decided to sit together, finally. Even though it's not known in Dauntless, Tris, Uriah and the others are officially Dauntless members now. I sit down next to Tris and give her a hug. I don't really care who knows we are together now; there is nothing that they can do about it.

"Hey four", Zeke says. "Big day today, you ready for it man?"

"Yeah I'm ready, you?"

"Yeah. I saw Gus earlier; he is excited that he is getting the day off from the control room. Kept rambling on about what a great guy Max is for giving him the time off. Then he gave me shit, saying I must off pissed Max off to be having to work," Zeke says.

Marlene, Lynn, Christina and Will have just joined us at our table. Everyone is quieter than usual. We are all eating with only a word spoken every now and then. Christina gets up and turns to Marlene and Shauna. "We need to start getting ready," she says.

"You have four hours before we need to meet Christina," Uriah says.

"If you want to use us as a distraction for the Erudite guards, then we need time. Come on ladies, first stop is the hairdresser, and then we are booked in to get our nails done," says Christina.

I can see the relief on Tris' face that she doesn't have to be involved in this. Marlene, Shauna and Christina all leave.

"Do you want to go to the training room and get some extra practice in?" Lynn asks to nobody in particular.

"Yeah," Tris and Uriah say at the same time.

"Zeke, Four do you want to come too?" Uriah asks.

"I'll meet you down there later, I have something I have to take care of first," I say.

"Why not," says Zeke. "I'm going to be stuck in the control room when everything goes down. May as well let off some steam now, I won't get the chance later."

I walk into the training room and I see Tris, Uriah, Will and Lynn throwing knives at the targets. They are laughing and trying to do trick shots. It is good to see them having some fun; I don't know how this is all going to play out today. I am so worried that something could happen to Tris or one of our friends. I hope I've planned this out well enough that everyone is safe. The Erudite guards that we will be attacking don't have the training that we give our members so I'm hoping they won't give us too much trouble.

I just sit and watch while they throw their knives. Tris comes over and gives me a hug. We don't have long now until we need to leave. It's nice to get these last few minutes with Tris, even if we aren't alone. Hopefully there will be more of this. Fear landscapes are tomorrow and the rankings will be announced. Then we can start our lives together.

"We better get going," I say.

Uriah puts the knives away and we all walk out together. We are walking down the hallway to my apartment when we see Eric. I hope he just ignores us. I don't have time for his crap today.

"Party at Four's is it?" Eric asks.

I ignore him but Amar has just caught up to us and he says, "Yep but only the cool kids have been invited Eric, so why don't you just move along." Eric has always hated Amar and he is also intimidated by him.

Eric just huffs and walks away. Everyone is laughing as we walk into my apartment. "We know who to call when we need Eric gone now," says Uriah.

"Hopefully no one will have to worry about that after today," I say.

Everyone gathers round on my couches while I go upstairs and get the weapons and explosives. Bud and Tori have arrived while I was upstairs. I put the bags on the coffee table and sit down. We are just waiting for Lauren, Christina, Marlene and Shauna now.

Just as I am thinking where are these girls. They all walk through my door. Christina, Marlene and Shauna have gone all out to make themselves look sexy. It is there job to distract and disarm the Erudite guards on one side of the building. There will be four guards for them to distract. I am sure they will get the job done easily. The Erudite guards won't know what has hit them when they see these three. I have no idea what you would call what they are wearing but it makes me blush. All three girls have skirts on that are so short you can see their underwear. There is a lot of flesh being shown and I didn't know but all three girls have belly button rings. I have no idea where they are going to hide their weapons and I'm too scared to ask.

I hand out the weapons to everyone and give Will, Uriah, Tris and Tori the explosives. I show them how to set the timers so that they will all be a safe distance from them when they go off. I give Amar and Bud the harnesses and ropes they will need to lower Tris and Tori down from the roof to set off their explosives. Tris and Tori have spent time practising what they need to do in the training room. It was decided that they would be the best for this job as they are the lightest and it will be easier for Bud and Amar to pull them up.

The warehouse is the furthest building at the end of the Dauntless compound, not many people come down here. So we shouldn't be interrupted. The warehouse is approximately 100ft by 60ft. There are two doors on either side of the longest sides of the warehouse. The doors are long enough that a small truck could drive through the space. There are two guards at each door way. That means we have eight guards that we need to disarm outside. Inside there are another eight guards that we need to disarm, they are protecting the serums and computer equipment that will be used for the attack. There is also an area in there that has been set up to house the extra guns that they would have been using in the attack. We need to try and get as many of the weapons out of the warehouse before we blow everything else up.

On the left side of the building the Erudite have parked their cars. Uriah and Will need to sneak over to the cars and plant explosives underneath them. We need the distraction so that Tris and Tori can scale down from the roof and plant the other explosives.

Shauna, Christina and Marlene have moved around to the right side of the building. The girls have started to talk to the first two guards. The guards are completely spellbound by the girls. While Marlene and Christina are disarming the two guards, Shauna has walked over to the two guards that are left.

As Shauna starts to talk to the guards you can see they are totally mesmerized by her. They haven't taken any notice to what has happened to the other two guards. Those guards have had their weapons taken and are now handcuffed. Christina has now walked over to Shauna and they take down the two guards that Shauna had been talking too.

They take the four guards away from the building. We don't want to kill anyone if we don't have too. So we need to get the guards away from the warehouse as we don't know just how big the impact from the explosives will be.

As the girls were disarming the guards on the right side, Uriah and Will have moved into place and they are planting the explosives under the Erudite cars. They have one minute to get themselves away from the cars. As they have been planting their explosives Tris, Tori, Amar and Bud have climbed onto the roof and are ready to start their descent.

Zeke and Hana are in the control room. Hana used to work in the control room so she is able to help Zeke watch what is going on. They are going to have to delete any footage of us as we can't afford to be caught. If anything goes wrong we will be in serious trouble. They are also in constant contact with Max, letting him know where he needs to go to arrest the traitors. Its lunchtime so we are hoping most people will be in the dining hall. It will make the arrest quicker and easier if they are all in the one place. Max is waiting for Zeke to give him the go ahead to storm the dining hall. Hopefully they won't put up a fight; otherwise we could have mass casualties in there.

Uriah and Will have just planted the explosives when they are spotted by one of the Erudite guards. I'm too far away to hear what they are saying but they need to get out of there and quickly. The explosives are set to go off in one minute. This is not good. Will goes to walk away and the Erudite guard has drawn his gun. Will and Uriah both pull their guns but they aren't quick enough. The Erudite guard has shot at Will. He falls down and Uriah shoots the guard in the head.

Uriah tries to pick up Will but he is too heavy. This is frustrating to watch. I want to run over to them and help but I'm too far away I wouldn't make it in time and there are three guards between myself and Will. Uriah starts to drag Will. But with the shooting of the guard the other three guards have started to walk towards Uriah with their weapons drawn. One has yelled at the boys. "Stop or we will shoot you," the guard says.

Uriah knows he needs to get out of there as quickly as possible, the explosives should be going off at any second. Lauren, Lynn and I have had to hide behind the building. Then we hear the blasts the cars have exploded and pieces have flown about fifty feet in the air and all around and into the warehouse. I stick my head around the corner to see the damage. '

The three guards have all been killed. They have pieces of the cars littering their bodies. I can't see Uriah but Will is still on the ground. Where can Uriah be? He must have been thrown by the explosion. I need to find him but I also need to disarm the guards that are inside the warehouse.

I turn to Lynn and say, "I need you to see if Will is still alive and find Uriah." Lynn just nods and we walk out from where we had been hiding. Ready to take on the other Erudite guards.
