A/N: I really hope you guys enjoy this chapter. Also just to clarify, Cara works for Erudite.

Tobias POV

Chapter 22

"Take a deep breath, Cara," Tris soothes as Shauna passes her a cup of water which she gulps down in 3 sips.

We give her a few seconds to calm down, as we all position ourselves to sit in an area where we can all see her, but not close enough to crowd her.

Cara gives us a slight nod as if she's saying she's ready for questions to be asked, Will goes first.

"Cara, what's happening?" He asks.

"Bad things," Cara mumbles, she takes a deep breath before she decides to abbreviate," Jeanine, she did something, I can't remember anything I had done at work. It started on Monday after we had some flu shots or something."

Jeanine. The woman who was at Marcus' house. If she is anything like him, she is no good.

"What do you mean you don't remember anything?" Tris questions.

"I went to work on Monday, I got the shot, and then I didn't remember anything till I came home, I thought I was just distracted, but it happened on Tuesday as well, and Wednesday."
"When I heard we beat Dauntless, I knew something weird had happened, Erudite is smart, but our software was nowhere near as good as yours, there's no way we could have beaten you."
Everyone is quiet as they take this information in, there clearly seems to be something wrong happening, but I can't put my finger on it.

"I didn't know where to go, mum and dad went on their flight after lunch, so I went to your place, Will, but you weren't there, and then I remembered you telling me you were going to Tris', so here I am...is that a puppy?"

"Yeah, his name is Charlie, T-Four, got me for Christmas," Tris informs her as Cara moves to pat him, "This is my boyfriend, Four, by the way," Tris introduces me.

"Nice to meet you," I say, extending my hand which she shakes.

"Likewise."

"Alright." Tris says, starting our meeting, "It's been a week since Cara came. Since it was still the holidays, we decided that we'd put off talking about that until we started work again.

"Cara should have been here twenty minutes ago, maybe she didn't remember, or she forgot." Tris mumbles, sounding slightly concerned, "Let's start without her, I'll call her tonight."

Everyone sits in silence, this makes no sense, how does someone just forget what they did for the whole day, it just doesn't make sense.

"I don't understand." Will speaks up," Cara is always on time and she's never said anything like this, I know it's not just her, Fernando, he boyfriend from Erudite said the same thing, something wrong is happening."

Tris nods in understanding, "I could ask Jeanine, but I agree with you Will, something is happening, and I'm pretty sure Jeanine is up to no good."

"We need to do something," Uriah mumbles as we all nod in agreement.

"I have an idea."

Tris adjusts her collar. She's now wearing a pantsuit with three-inch heels. Tris, Will and I stand outside the Erudite building. We enter inside and are greeted by the receptionist that introduces herself as Amanda.

Tris set up a meeting with Jeanine to tell her the details of what happened in the meeting she didn't attend a few months ago, the one I went to with Tris.

The plan was for Tris to distract Jeanine so that Will and I could make an excuse and go find Cara, and hopefully find out what the hell is happening here.

Amanda tells us that Jeanine is ready for us. We take the elevator to the thirteenth floor, which is coincidently the same floor Cara works on, according to Will.

Will and I follow Tris into the conference room where we'll be talking to Jeanine who will be accompanied by some of her team.

All four of the walls are painted dark blue. I make a note of the windows in the room, and fortunately, there's only one that is located on the outer wall, giving you a nice view of the city.

"Beatrice, take a seat," Jeanine says, not bothering to address me or Will.

Tris takes a seat, "It's good to see you again, Jeanine, this is Four and Will."

"Ah, right." Jeanine monotoned, "Unfortunately, Eric who is my teams representative is attending a conference and couldn't be here. One of my coworkers will come later"

"Oh, such a shame about Eric, hopefully, you'll fill him in when he comes back," Tris suggests, although I can hear the sarcasm when she says it's a shame he's not here.

"Of course."
Tris takes out her files and begins explaining things to Jeanine, thankfully there's a lot of content that needs to be covered and Jeanine keeps asking questions that she just answers herself to show how smart she is.

Twenty minutes in my phone rings, Will and I mutter that we need to attend to this call and head outside the room. The call as from Zeke and was our plan to get out of the room without looking suspicious.

I pick up the call and thank Zeke, telling him we're going to look for Cara now. I place my phone back into my pocket before looking at Will. He motions for me to follow him, nodding, I follow him silently.

We wonder through this floor. The layout is similar to our at Dauntless. Rows of three that have desktops on them. The room is full of people but all of them are working. I share a glance with Will silently asking him if we should enter, he gave me a small nod as he enters the room first.

Will walks into the room as if he's not doing anything wrong, and I follow him. No one seems to be paying attention to us, which is good news for us. Will scans the room for Cara, his eyes show disappointment but then light up slightly.

He walks over to a row in the corner, but I realise we aren't approaching Cara, instead, we are approaching a man who looks, Cara, I assume it's her boyfriend, Fernando.

"Fernando," Will mumbles tapping his shoulder, confirming my assumption.

Fernando seems unfazed by Will and continues to somewhat, mindlessly tap the keys on his keyboard, continuing with his work. Will tries again, still whispering his name quietly.

My brows furrow as I look around the room, something isn't alright, everyone seems to be doing the same thing. It's like they're ignoring us or they don't realise we're here either way, I have a bad feeling about this.

"Will, come on, let's just find Cara," I mumble, I don't want to be here any longer than I have to.

Will frowns but nods anyway. We move to another part of the floor. My eyes scan for Cara, and a smile makes its way onto my face when I notice a blonde that looks exactly like her. I tap Will's shoulder and look in Cara's direction.

Like the room before, this room too is dead silent and everyone seems to just be doing their own work, none of them notices or acknowledge the presence of me and Will.

"Cara," Will whisper yells. He shakes her shoulder gently, but when we get no response he shakes it harder.

I can't help but wonder what's happening, I make a mental list of all the weird things that have happened so far, no one seems to be responding and the only thing they're doing is working.

The silence is broken at the sound of my phone buzzing, telling me I have a text. I open up my phone as I glance at the text. It's from Tris.

Tris: Meetings ending soon, come quick xx

"Will," I mumble, "We need to go."

I glance at Will, he has a concerned look on his face and looks like he really doesn't want to leave but nods, knowing we need to get out of here unless we want to get caught.

We make our way outside the room where Tris, Jeanine and by now, at least one of her coworkers that she mentioned are here.

As the text said, the meeting ends a few minutes later, I can hear Jeanine saying something about meeting up tomorrow to go over more content.

The door opens as Tris exits the door, "Alright Jeanine," She says turning back to face her," I'll see you tomorrow, nice to meet you, Marcus."

I freeze. Marcus?

I glance into the room and see the same man that is the pathetic excuse of my father standing next to Jeanine. My blood freezes at the thought of Tris being in a room with him.

He stands there in a suit like mine. We make eye contact and I give him the same menacing glare he gives me. Ever since I moved out, I haven't contacted him, I bever even bother ed telling him I was moving out.

I see his eyes glance at Tris and then Will. He mumbles something to Jeanine as she nods. My thoughts wander to Tris, she doesn't even know who Marcus is, sure I told her that my father abused me, but I never used his name.

Something is wrong, something is going to happen, I don't know what, but if it involves Marcus, I know it's going to be bad, I just hope the odds will be in our favour.
