Tris looked at him questioning
"Max wants us in his office, he didn't sound pleased" he answered
As they entered Max office, Kate and Victoria were also there, all of them looking tired and pissed
"Nice to join us, so what's your side of the story, I must say I don't find it very funny when a bruised Four knocks on my door early in the morning, telling me that my leaders are responsible for his injuries, care to explain? "
Eric was red from the anger he was feeling and about to shout the story in Max face.
But Tris beat him
"Explain?? That boy got some nerve. Four was fucking drunk, banging on my door like an idiot, he wanted me to go back to him and as I told him, there is no way in hell that I'm going back to him, he snapped, pinned me to the ground and tried to kiss me, I tried to fight him off but he was hurting me so bad, all I could do was screaming for Eric. Eric threw him off me and punched him, to get him out. He tried to take advantage of me and I'm standing here in the middle of the night, justifing my actions, that must be a bad joke. Tris screamed in Max face, she was beyond mad.
"Clam down, I wasn't taking sides. Just wanted to know both sides of the story" Max told her stern
"Let's look at the security footage from the hallway camera, the door was open" Kate suggested
"Finally someone has a good idea" Victoria commented yawning
Max tipped on his Computer and the video played, it was clearly to see that Four had lied to him.
"I'm sorry Tris, but I'm the headleader, I needed to know both sides, and it's clear what happened, so what do you want to do about the whole thing? "
Tris was still angry, and she had no idea what to do with Four, push him in the chasm crossed her mind or move him to the fence, but it was too much and too little at the same time.
" I have no idea what to do. I personally would move him to fence or patrolling the factionless sector, so that I don't have to see his face again, but I know because of the choosing day today and the new initiates it isn't possible" she sighed heavily
and looked at Max
"Yeah, and I need you to overwatch the initiates, is part of the protocol for being a leader"
Eric tried to interup him but Max held up
"I know what you want to say, but you must deal with Erudite the next month, you know that"
All of them got quite, thinking of a good solution, for this mess. Lying and attacking the heads of the fraction is the worst thing you can do l. But there were running out of options.
"I think it would be a good idea to put Uriah in the transfer training, too. He's ambassador to the other fractions and needs to learn like Tris, so Four can be overseen, and we all keep an eye on him.
When initiation is over, we will move him to patrol the factionless sector with no chance to go back to the control room or being a trainer " Kate suggested
Tris nodded muted
" That's a good - ' Max began
"You got to be shiting me, he is taunting her for month, and today he tried to take advantage of her, became his ass handed and came to you lying and crying. And all we do about is leaving him be for the next two month, great !! " Eric practically shouted
" Eric relax, it's the only thing we can do in moment, as much as I hate it, we have no other choice and hell be mad to be overlooked and have two others with him, you know how number boy is" Victoria pieped in.
Eric looked at Tris, grabbed her hand and looked her in the eyes
"You ok with this?I throw him in the chasm if you say so" he asked her deadly serious
To calm him, she squeezed his hand
"It's ok" she looked at the other three leaders "but if he acts out like that again, I will take Eric's offer or do it myself" she added
All of them nodded in agreement.
Max cleared his throat
" since we're all here, we can clear out the schedule for today, Kate Victoria and I will be staying here. Tris, you and Eric go to the ceremony and take Uriah with you, that boy is bothering me that he wants to go, since month and now he is a part of it, it's not a problem he's coming alongside. I tell Mike to inform him. I expect you both to be the perfect warriors and go by your fraction give names. So let's catch some sleep and we see us after the ceremony " Max left the room.
Tris looked at Kate and Victoria
"I'm glad you two are back, we catch up later ok? I'm fucking tired " all of them laughing at that
Together they left the room, and headed in different directiond to their apartments. Tris didn't let go of Eric's hand, as they stood in front of her apartment doors, she hesitant, she looked up to him.
" It's not brave for me to say that, but I can't go back in there at the moment" she mumbled
I hope you all like it so far.
