Liz's POV:

After the kids go to school, I finally decide to ACTUALLY get dressed, putting on my black skinny jeans along with my white and gold t-shirt. I lace up my black Converse sneakers and put on my fingerless black biker gloves. What? I'm a former Dauntless; I HAVE to look the part, you know. I tie my dark shoulder-length hair into a tight ponytail and walked out the door. I'm supposed to be meeting up with my parents in the former Dauntless headquarters. I still have questions about the newest Erudite attack on the Abnegation, or the 'supposed' attack. Technically, I THOUGHT that the factions were token down..! Apparently, I was...sort of wrong. After speaking with Mom the other day, the Erudite were hiding in secret...and their old leader was STILL ALIVE. Don't ask me HOW, but it's true. I groan at the possible though of Jeanine being alive. As I run towards my parents' house, I heard someone call my name. I turn to see Mason and Kiera. I smile and fist-bumped Mason and hugged Kiera.

"It's been a while, bro!", says Mason, who managed to grow sideburns but cut of his stupid mustache.

I would make fun of him but the Abnegation in my blood forbids me. Besides, Kiera was standing right there.

"You guys heard about the Erudite?", I ask.

"That's why we're here.", says Mason. "To talk to Four and Tris."

I nod. "Me too. I CAN'T believe that the Erudite are so DAMN irritating..! They act like my son..."

Mason snickered but Kiera rolled her eyes.

"Stop picking on your kids, Liz.", she says.

I roll my eyes. "It's our thing, Keke. The kids or Thomas do something stupid, I harass them. And they always LOSE. Stop acting like a damn Amity..! Speaking of damn Amity, my son's DATING one of them...!"

Mason pretends to have a fake heart attack, but Keira drops her jaw and squeals.

"He IS? OhmiGOD, dude! When? Where? How?"

"Whoa, whoa, WHOA! I'm just finding this shit out now!"

"Well, damn!", says Mason. "I'd wish Christina would find a man...!"

"She's every inch like her damn grandma, dammit Janet! Stubborn as a bullfrog!", I joke.

Kiera rolls her eyes as we walk towards the Dauntless headquaters, heading towards the Pit, greeting my parents, my mother waving at us while my father nods at us. I roll my eyes. My father, the poser. I hug him and kiss my mother on the cheek. Mom hugs both Mason and Keira while Dad shook their hands. We sit on the tabletops. I tap my foot anxiously.

"Have you guys found out about...you know.", I ask.

Father growls and blows. "Damn Erudite. Both they and the Dauntless have been hiding. Hiding and talking about an overthrow of government. Guess who's the leader."

"Is it Jeanine?", I ask.

Father nods his head. "Kylie somehow found a way to bring her mother back to life...and Eric's working alongside them."

"I thought Eric learned his lesson when I shot his foot off...", mumbled my mother.

I snicker. "Good one, Mom."

Mom sticks her tongue out playfully and laughs.

"I do NOT wanna die in the hands of the stupid Erudite. I wanna die a good reasonable death! Like fighting for my loved ones or being baked into a delicious pie..!", says Mason with fake tears.

I roll my eyes. Don't even ask about the pie thing.

"If I were a pie," he continued. "I'd be a blackberry pie. If I'd die, I'd die a Dauntless pie."

"Can we TALK about the situation, Mason?", says my father.

Leave it to my father to be the downer of the group. I'd kinda expected my own mother...but, meh. Beggars can't be choosers...or is it the other way around...? I shrug my shoulders. My father was looking at the ground with that look on his face. I knew that face. He has that face whenever he was coming up with a plan. That's when Four was at his best. I smirk at him and thought to myself, wondering how my kids are doing right now. Knowing Tobias, he'll try to think of a way to stop the Erudite on his own, probably involving Alyssa and Drew, like they need to be involved into his stupid bullcrap. Damn, he acts like me too MUCH. I think I know what my father is thinking. A way of ambush.

"Dad, maybe we should think of a way of ambush. Hit 'em where it hurts on the downlow.", I say, punching my fist on my palm for emphasis. Unfortunately, he shakes his head.

"The Erudite are too smart for that. They'd expect us to go after them."

"We can't just do NOTHING, Dad!"

"I KNOW that, Liz. Be patient."

"Thomas always tell me that all the time. You think I listen to a damn word he says...?"

"Hmmph. Like father, like daughter.", he jokes.

I roll my eyes.

"We have to face our demons, baby.", says my mother.

Dad sighs. He knew that Mom was right, though he didn't want to deal with another one of his demons. He was glad that he doesn't have to deal with his MAIN demon, for Grandpa Marcus, thank God, was dead. He died of a heart attack two years ago. Though, Mom SHOULD HAVE killed him a LONG time ago, but it was ok. I thought he should be killed by either Mom, Dad, ME, or by piranhas. After his funeral, I danced on his grave while my parents were 'mourning'. Thomas had seen me, shaking his head, but I knew he was glad someone had to do it. YOU'D do the same thing against someone you hate.

"What's the plan, Four?", asks Mason.

"Yea," says Kiera. "we'd need a plan."

"You know," I say. "I'd never seen Tobias's principal. Whenever he gets in trouble, I can't go into the office. It's like she's trying to hide from the world. Like she's allergic to sunlight. Or happiness. Madame Jean, I think her name is..."

Father sucks in a breath. I wonder the same thing, too.

Madame Jean is Jeanine...!

I have to wait. We can't be for sure, though me and him both knew the obvious. Mother looks at the both of us and says, "We can't be CERTAIN if this 'Madame Jean' lady is Jeanine."

"Mom. Madame Jean. Jeanine. Ding-ding! And people think the Dauntless are retarded..."

"Watch your mouth, Elizabeth.", says my father, making me snarl.

Like father, like daughter, my ass.

Then, I get a phone call from Tobias.

"Hello..? Tobias, stop yelling...! What do you...WHAT? Are you fuckin' serious...!? Wait right there! I'm coming!"

I hang up. "That's Tobias. Drew was almost going to jump off the roof...!"

"WHAT?", my mother gasps. "Does Caleb know?"

"I don't know, Mom...I...I need to go get the boys."

"Need us to come with?", asks Mason.

I turn to him. "Yea. God knows if I'll swear or cry."

Kiera looks at me and holds my hand. "You're in good hands..."

We all say goodbye to my parents and head for the school. I knew that Tobias's stupid pranks would push Drew to the breaking point...I didn't expect him to jump off of a roof...
