Chapter 10

Tobias P.O.V

Bang Bang Bang

A low growl escapes my lips at the sound of someone once again interrupting my dreams. Damn interruptions, always at three in the God Damn morning too.

"Four! Four! Open up Bro I need your help!" Zeke calls out.

This better be good, he is going to have me thrown out of my apartment one of these days. I swing the door open, and to my surprise I see a very intoxicated Zeke in front of me.

"What the hell, Zeke?" I say stepping to the side letting him in. "Does Shauna know where you are?"

"Oh that woman, let me tell you." He says slurring and pointing at nothing. I swear he will trip and fall on his face if not careful. "That woman is pissed, can you believe she kicked my ass out of my own apartment."

"Did you come home drunk, like you are now?" I ask closing the door.

"MMMM... I... ummm... I... you know that might be the reason why." He says. I can see the light bulb going off in his head but dims down just as fast. "Well that's cool. I need... I need... wait. I don't know." Zeke can't finish his statement. What a surprise?

"You can crash here, Zeke. Figure it out in the morning." I say getting him an extra pillow and blanket. He is already making the way to my spare room.

"Night dude." I say already heading back for my bed.

"Night Mommie." Is the last thing he gets out before landing head first into a pillow.

I go back to my room, laying back down. Laughing at the idiocy, Zeke. Tris and I weren't together that long... I never had much experience with the ladies even before her. But even I know better then to go home wasted off my ass to the love of my life. Sure she saw my drunk once, but we weren't together at the time... I would never want her to feel uncomfortable by my stupidity.

I decided to roll over and close my eyes, wanting nothing more then for my dreams to take me.

I'm back in my room at Amity, rolling over so tired but not able to fully fall asleep. I hear my door creak open. At first I thought it was a Amity person coming to tell me I needed to get up and fulfill my chores for them. I would gladly punch them in the face.

To my surprise it's Tris at my bedside. She looks tired, half asleep, but the expression she also carries is fear mixed with sadness. She must have had a bad dream.

I scotched over pulling the blanket back inviting her in without words. I don't know what is going on in her head. She won't tell me. I know it's a heavy burden she carries. Could it be me? Could I be the cause for her nightmares? I was so close to almost killing her, it was her voice and her words that woke me from Jeanine's serum. I had a gun to her head, it was evident that we fought good and hard.

It was the worst moment I could ever ask for. I feared that one day I would turn into Marcus, and in that instant I was Marcus in her eyes. Could this be the reason she is here now, to make sure I am awake and not back in the serum? She cuddles close to me her head on my chest, my arms encircling her body holding her safe and secure in my arms. "We're alright, you know." I tell her. "You and me. Okay?" I feel her nod against my chest. "Nothing else is alright. But we are." I say, not wanting to press her for answers but needing her to be comforted. I hear her call out my name, then she presses her lips against mine. First starting as a soft gentle kiss, then quickly turning into a hunger, earning kiss. Our lips part and I let my tongue roam her mouth. Our hands explore each others body's gliding up and down each other. Her long night shirt no longer sitting on her thigh but it's up her stomach. Her bare skin under my finger tips give off the best sensation I can ever ask for.

I feel the bed shifting again... My eyes that were closed while kissing Tris, and while holding her up against my body. But when I open my eyes it isn't Tris that I see. I find someone else has taken her place in my bed, and in my arms.

"Oh, Zeke what the fuck dude?!" I yell at him. "Get the Fuck out of my bed!" When I see he doesn't move I give him a hard push that sends him flying out of my bed. Making a loud thumb sound on the floor.

"What the hell, Four!" He yells back. "What was that for?"

"Why the hell are you not in my spare room?" I yell at him, wanting a answer.

"I couldn't sleep, I need to have someone next to me." He says oh so innocently. I swear I will kill him!

Another day, goes by. Nothing special happening other then needing to drink coffee non stop, due to Zeke. Gotta remind myself to make sure I thank him appropriately for that. Waking up to Tris in my arms is one thing, waking up to Zeke in my bed, cuddling in my arms. Totally uncalled for...

I hear a beep go off on my computer, signaling that I have a incoming email. It's sent to my professional email, Tobias Eaton. The sender is unknown, but what gets my attention is the subject field of the email. Which reads, "Tris is here, and needs help." I forget to breath at those words, the cup that was in my hands is now laying on the floor. But I pay no attention to it. I click on the email, needing to read it.

Mr. Tobias Eaton,

Please come, bring back up. Tris is alive, she needs help. ASAP! Look in the abandon wing of the Bureau.

Do not trust anyone.

My mouth drops open, I don't know what to make of it. The first time I was told she may be alive, it was Marcus. He went out of his way to tell me. Can this be him again? Is this some sort of trap?

I think about the moment after I left Marcus. Since Caleb wasn't answering his phone, I decided to confront the one person that still had any connection to the Bureau.

Knock Knock

"Come in." She said from with in her office. I open the door to find Evelyn sitting behind her desk, typing on her computer. "Well, this is a pleasant surprise." She said.

"Yea, listen. I need the number to your guy back in the Bureau. I need to ask him a few questions." I said, not wanting to tell her everything. I know how she felt about Tris, I didn't want her to over look this.

"My guy, prefers to be anonymous. So unless you can tell me what's going on... I'm sorry I won't give that information to you." She said, calm in her voice.

"Evelyn, Marcus contacted me." I began telling her, wishing any other way.

"Tobias, come on. This is Marcus we are talking about. Odds are this is a way to try and gain our trust and let him back in the city." She said.

"I understand that Evelyn. But the way... I just need to be sure. I'm sure you can understand." I said, my hands on my waist.

"I'll call him." She agreed.

Evelyn said, her guy had no information about anything weird going on in the Bureau. Could she have been lying to me again? Could her hatred for Tris, be so great?

Hope sneaks in my heart. Can she be alive? No, No how many times do I have to go through this? I saw her body, I have her fucking ashes. Someone is toying with me.

But be as it may, I need to find out who it is and put a end to it. I need to know what the deal is. I print out the email and take it with me. Letting my secretary know I am taking a personal day for the rest of this afternoon.

I will figure this out once and for all.
