Happy reading everyone!
A twisted Return
Chapter 67
Tobias P.O.V
I sit on the couch in our apartment, my head in my hands. I feel so lost. I failed her. I failed her again!Can't I do anything right? Can't I keep the woman I love safe, even once? The place was surrounded by people. How is it that someone managed to take Tris and no one noticed? That's it no one noticed... But cameras all over the city may have noticed.
I get up grabbing my cell phone off the kitchen counter, I need to call Zeke. He has access to the security cameras because he is Sheriff of our city.
"Hey Four. I'm sorry we haven-" Zeke says but I cut him off.
"Zeke, we need to look at the cameras. Maybe we can spot a car, license plate, maybe a direction to where they are going." I say as a spark of hope sneaks into my heart.
"Ok. Great I'll look at that... why don't you come and join me? Get out of the apartment." Zeke suggest. I quickly take him on his offer. I need to do something. I am so worthless right now. Luckily Hana took Abigail off my hands. She knows I am not in a position to care for her. I barely am getting through one minute, caring for myself.
I make my way to the police department, and I don't even need to sign in. Everyone here knows exactly who I am. I walk in Zeke's office, it looks like he already getting to work on the cameras.
"Hey bro. Ummm I'm not sure if you want to..." Zeke says.
"I have to see it." I say stepping closer to him. Than he presses the space bar on the computer allowing the footage to play. That's when I see it. A man dressed head to toe in black, he had a hoodie and a mask covering his face. He carries Tris bridal style and places her in the trunk of a car. Just then the man does something rather very smart or idiotic... He walks to the driver side of the car and before getting in the car he takes his mask off and turning his face high all around. He wanted us to see his face, to know who it was that took Tris. Zeke hits a few buttons and zooms in on the footage. My body starts to shake, I'm shocked at who it is. Peter fucking Hayes.
My mind runs a mile a minute. Peter Hayes. Peter has Tris. Peter the one that tried to kill Tris numerous of times. Peter who also help Tris and I escape from Erudite. He has her. How? Why? The last time I saw Peter, he took the memory serum. He wanted to be reset, a new start. He hated knowing everything he has done, the evil and hatred things that he himself wanted to forget. So if he has been reset what is he doing taking Tris?
"Isn't that?" Zeke says but never saying the name that we are both thinking.
"Yes, yes it is." I agree with him.
"But how?" He ask.
"I don't know." I answer him.
A knock on the door is what pulls us out of our deep thoughts. We see its one of the receptionist girls from upfront, she carries in a brown box.
"I was told to have Mr. Eaton open it as soon as possible." She says handing it to me, and than quickly turning around on her heels and leave Zeke's office. I opened the box immediately, hoping there is something inside that will lead me back to Tris. A single phone was inside, with a note on it. Call the number that is programmed in side. I don't hesitate, I call the only number that is programmed.
"Took you long enough." The voice on the line says when he picks up.
"Peter? Where's Tris? If you hurt her..." He cuts me off before I could finish.
"Calm down Four. Yes, I have Tris. But she is safe for now." I can hear him breathing hard. "Four I was ordered to kidnap Tris, and hand her over to the highest bidder. Obviously that isn't going to happen. I won't do it. In return I need you to save my girl. Her life is in danger unless I can finish my mission." He gets out.
"Who ordered you?" I ask.
"Evelyn. Four she wants Tris out of the picture. She injected me with the antidote for memory serum. I remember everything. She thought giving me my memories would help me complete the mission." I hear him sigh heavily. "Four, I refuse to be that man again. But I can't loose Dennis, her and our unborn child is all I have in this world. Please from one love sick puppy to another... I will help you protect your family, if you help me protect mine." Peter finishes. I am shocked at ho the table has turned.
"Tell me everything about you know about Evelyn's plan. Also tell me Dennis' address and full name. We will have her picked up and place in protective custody until we get Evelyn." I pinch the bridge of my nose hoping to release the pressure that is building in my head. "Peter is Tris ok. Can I talk to her?" I ask.
"Yea, hold on." He says I hear some kind of ruffling.
"Tobias." She says. Her voice sounds off like it's tired and sick.
"Tris, are you ok?" I ask her trying to fight to urge to come find her. But I know I have to do my part now.
"I remember, Tobias. I remember everything. Peter injected me with the antidote. I have my memories back." She says I can imagine the tears falling down her cheeks.
"Everything?" I confirm.
"Everything! Thank you for everything for loving me so much, that you wouldn't allow my scrambled memories to stop you." She gets out.
"Never baby! I'll always fight for you baby! I'm coming for you once I get Evelyn. Than you and I can move on with Abigail." I promise. "Tell Peter I will call him soon. I love you so much, Tris."
"I love you too, Tobias. Please hurry." She says before the line disconnects.
"Is she ok?" Zeke asks.
"She... she remembers. She has her memories again." I say still shocked. I shack my head, needing to refocus on my part. I want this over and done with right now. I will have Tris home by the end of tomorrow night. She and I will have a life together with out daughter.
"So what now?" Zeke asks.
"Now we find and arrest Evelyn. She ordered the capture for Tris to be taken. She wants her out of the picture." I say my jaw clenching almost painfully. How can a mother hate her son so much to want and cause so much pain on him?
