Hey guys this was a fun chapter to write. I hope you like it! I am extremely tired because I didn't get enough sleep last night. Anyways, Enjoy!
I step to my desk and go through the papers making sure everything was signed. I have to plan meeting with the police chief to discuss our plans. I dial their number on my phone.
"Hello?" A feminine voice says through the speaker.
"Hi, Is this the chief of police?"
"Yes, this is she. And who is this?"
"I am Tris, the new leader."
"Oh yes! Tris! I was told I would be getting a call from you. What is it you need to discuss?"
"Well,"
"Piper, call me Piper."
"Well, Piper, we have just gone over some things with Abnegation that involves the police force. I need to know when I can schedule a meeting with you to discuss the terms of the agreement."
"Yes," I hear screaming in the background
"Shut up! You dimwits! I am on the phone with a leader!" I hear her yell.
"What time should be good for you?"
"14:00 should be a good time."
"Thank you" I say "if there is any change in plans I will let you know."
"Great! Is that all? I have to go before my force gets themselves killed."
"Yes, that will be all." I say hanging up the phone. I laugh thinking about what Uriah must have been doing during all of this. Heck, he was probably the one who started whatever the yelling was! I log onto my computer to put the meeting on my schedule. I look at my inbox. There are a few new messages from Tobias. I go through all of them. They all are basically asking the same question: "where are you?"
I close my inbox and check the time. It has only been five minutes! I let out a groan and continue working. I have gotten deeper into stuff. Now, I am dealing with some of the more interesting crimes. I am looking over things like theft. Again! Lots of them have something to do With Zeke. I don't understand how someone could be so reckless! So far from what I have seen. He has stolen a pair of socks, whipped cream, cake, ink from the tattoo parlor, and a Banana? I don't even want to ask why. I can't keep a straight face as I go through all of these. I don't think I will ever understand this place. I try and try not to look at the clock, because it only makes time go by slower. It gets to be 12:25 after what felt like eternity of going through files. I get up and walk through the corridors. As I walk through I see Tobias leaning against the wall next to the control room. I sneak up behind him and put my arms around his waist. "Hey!" I say placing my head on his back. He pushes me off of him. I look to him and see hurt in his eyes. "Where were you last night, Tris?" He asks
"I went to Erudite to see my brother."
"Stop lying to me!" He says getting louder. "I saw you get off the train with Will this morning! I can't believe you would do this to me and Christina!" I look around and see that people are looking at us.
"Four! I didn't do anything with Will! I wouldn't even think of it! He is like my brother!" Oh God! That was a poor choice of words.
"You said you went to Erudite to see your brother. Are you talking about him?"
"No! I am not!"
"I don't think I can trust you anymore, Tris."
"Four! Listen to me! Nothing happened!" I make out tears streaming down my face
"Then what happened Tris, tell me?"
"Will saw Caleb with Cara on the security monitors."
"Yes, then what?!" Tobias says getting angry.
"Then we decided to go to see what was going on." I say through sobs
"What happened then?" Tobias asks with false enthusiasm.
"We hid in a bush and spied on them." I say. I finally stopped crying. "We got caught. When we tried to escape my leg got stuck. I sprained my ankle and couldn't walk on it. See." I lift up my pant leg and show him the bruise on my ankle. His face softens and he hugs me. "Are you alright?" He says "yes, I am fine." I reply leaning into the hug.
"I am so sorry! I shouldn't have doubted you!" He says.
"I forgive you." I say. I never took him for the jealous type, but I love him just the same now I know he can be "do you mind skipping lunch? I need to talk to you about something." I whisper in his ear. He nods and I grab his hand. We start walking towards the apartment when I see his face darken again. "What are you thinking about?" I ask
"If you weren't able to walk on your ankle. Then why are you able to walk on it now?"
"The Erudite developed a serum to help heal bones overnight." I explain. He nods and squeezes my hand tighter. I don't ever want him to let go. I think he feels the same way. When we get to the apartment I take my key card out and place it in the scanner. It unlocks and we walk inside. Tobias heads straight for the kitchen. He pulls out flour, eggs, milk, cheese, and tomato sauce. He starts to mix flour, eggs, and milk in a bowl to make a dough. "I didn't know you could cook." I say.
"I guess that is another thing you can add to the list." He says pounding the dough on the table. "Can you flatten this out?" He asks. I wash my hands and flatten the dough out into a circle while Tobias pre-heats the oven. He comes over and moves my hands away. I go over to the other side of the island and sit on the stool. "What did you want to talk to me about?" Tobias asks spreading tomato sauce all over the dough.
"I got a job offer." He looks up with a surprised look.
"I thought you were a leader." He says
"Yes, I am. I would still be a leader if I took the job." He looks confused he is still pouring the sauce. "Watch out!" I say. The sauce was pouring over the sides. He looks down and moves the jar out of the way. He spreads out the sauce with a spoon. "What would this job be?"
"You have to promise not to tell anyone."
"Fine." He puts his left hand on his heart and his right hand in the air. "I promise." I laugh at this movement. "I would be going undercover in each faction."
"What? Like you would be a part of each faction?"
"Yes, but it would only be a week in each."
"That is a whole month!"
"Yes, I would be away from dauntless for a month."
"I don't understand why can't they have someone else do it?"
"They want a leader and I am the only one that can be disguised easily." He nods understandingly
"What am I going to do without you?" He asks.
"I don't know." I say
"Tris, this is a once in a lifetime opportunity. You have to go."
"But, I am going to miss you!"
"Screw me! You need to think about yourself."
"You are apart of me." I say. I know it sounds cliche, but it is true.
"I wish there was a way I could go with you." He says
"What if there is!" I exclaim
Beep Beep.Beep the oven goes off letting us know it is ready. "Hold that thought!" He says. He sprinkles cheese on the dough and puts it in the oven. He turns back around. "What was it you were saying?" He asks
"What if there is a way we can both go?"
"How would that be possible?"
"If They can disguise me I am sure they can disguise you too." He smiles and nods. He hugs me. We break away and I kiss him. I start to melt into his arms. His tounge brushes up against my lower lip asking for an entrance and I grant it immediately. "Mmm" Is all I manage to get out when we start walking toward the couch. I feel my stomach start to tighten. We lay on the couch him on top of me. kissing. My hand starts to go to the them hem of his shirt. I stop myself. I break away "we can stop if you want." He says in a gentle voice. My heart is racing. I nod and he sits up "I am so sorry." He says
"No, it isn't your fault." I say my face turning bright red.
"But it is." He says in a guilty tone. I put a hand on his shoulder
"No, it isn't. Stop beating yourself up over nothing." I hear a knock at the door and we stiffen up. I walk over to the door and answer. "Hey!" Christina says pushing her way in "you weren't in the dining hall."
"Yes, and there is a reason for that." Tobias says.
"Ooooh" Christina says lifting her eyebrows at me.
"No." I say
"But."
"No." I say even more sternly. I know exactly what she was thinking. I walk her out the door. She pulls me into the hallway. "Tell me the truth did you and Four do any addition, multiplication?" I laugh at what she just said
"No, and that is the worst joke I have ever heard." She rolls her eyes and I walk back inside closing the door.
"Please tell me you did not just hear that."
"Every word." He says laughing
The egg timer buzzed and Tobias goes to the oven. He pulls out the food and places it on a plate. He puts the plate on the table. I walk over and he pulls a chair out for me I sit in it. "Thank you." He sits down in the chair across from mine. "Grab a slice." He says
"What is it?" I ask he laughs
"I forgot how little you know from Abnegation! It's Pizza."
He takes a slice and I do the same. I copy everything he does. When I take a bite I tilt my head back. "Where did you learn to make this?"
"Hana taught me some basic recipes when I became a member."
"Well, this is one of the best things I have eaten."
"Thank you!" He says. We finish up the food by 13:15
"We have ten minutes till lunch break is over. Do you mind coming with me to give max my answer?" I ask
"I don't. Especially since this has to do with me as well." We collect and clean the dishes together. After doing the dishes we walk out the door and head to Max's office. I knock. "Come in!" He yells through the door. "Ah Tris. Oh and Four! Are you still a no on that offer?" He asks Tobias
"Yes sir." Tobias answers
"What is your answer, Tris?"
"Yes" I say
"Great!" He says enthusiastically
"Under one condition." He sighs and puts his hand to his head.
"What is it?"
"Four gets to come with me." There is silence in the office for a minute.
"That seems fair. The mission starts in one week. don't tell anyone, we can't have anyone knowing just in case." We nod. "Oh and Four?" Tobias turns around "yes?"
"Are you sure you don't want to take me up in that offer. The benefits are better."
"Yes. I am very sure." He says.
We walk out of the office and I head into mine. Tobias follows me. He kisses me on the forehead "see you after work." I nod
"Unless you have plans to go to Candor with Christina."
"Now that I think about it-" I say joking around
"Are you serious?"
"No." I say lightly pushing him we both laugh and I sit down in my chair as Tobias walks out of the room.
Hey guys! So I got the idea for tris going to the different factions from another fanfiction called Fourandsix FourandTris.
I thought it was annoying that someone who had an aptitude for Erudite couldn't come up with this solution, so I did it myself. I hope you enjoyed this chapter. I tried to get it out today. (Even though I will probably get it out like a minute before midnight) anyways remember stay awesome, stay lucky, and peace out!
