Katniss POV.

I tie up the laces to my worn out sturdy black boots, re-braid my hair, make sure all the kids are in bed and make my way into town. The town was covered in dark except for a few houses that let their light shine out on the ground. I made my steps silent and kept in the dark so no one could detect I was there. Tonight I'm going to get Adam out. I've done this before but even so I can feel the adrenaline pumping through my veins as I try to mentally prepare myself for the worst. I carry 3 knives, a sling shot, a small Beretta cheetah gun that I stole from peace keeper once and yes I know that stealing is illegal but the guy just left it there and I do never use only will carry it around in times of need like this. I've got a small amount of chloroform that my mother owned when she was a healer. And a few other things in case I need of use.

The justice building come in sight and I know the floor plans but I don't know the peacekeeper routine security check. There's an old window the leads to a room under the main rooms of the Justice building that has a rusty old lock one it. I give it a slight kick and the lock fell off. I slide into the dark room felling around to the door. I pressed my ear to the door to see if I could hear anything, I couldn't. The door lead to a small hall way with other rooms. I knew I had to go left then right to come to a door which lead to another hallway. Walking quietly down this hallway I hear the voices of other guards and can see there shadows and there blocking the way I need to go and there's no way I can get passed them without being noticed. I take the chloroform and dab it on the napkin I have. I silently sneak up to the fist guard wrap my left arm around his neck and cover his mouth and nose with the napkin. He begins to go weak and passes out. I drag his body to the side and do the same with the other guard.

I've made my way to the part holding cells below the building. There are many rooms that are dark with only some with the faintest glow of orange light from old fluorescent globs. The floorboards turns to a dirt path, my boots making dust rise each step I take. Most cells have the 'cage' door closed some open. I see shadows of people sitting in the corners but know that I'm either imaging ghost or even the remains of those that were left to die down here. I feel pain and sadness for the ones that did and their families for not knowing if they were still alive or dead.

Small cries of pain brake me out of my thoughts I stay in the shadows but continue walking to the noise. I halt as I see two peacekeepers move out of a holding cell and lock the door. Once they are out of sight I moved to get a better spot to look into the cage and see Adam lying face down. I can see dark patches on his skin and I'm guessing it indicates blood so he has been punished.

'Adam' is whisper loud enough so he can hear me. I see him move his head up then down not having enough strength to move much but I know he heard me.

I inspect the lock and see that I'm going to need a key to open it because there is no way I could pick it. I move to the place where the peacekeepers enter. I see that's there's another room with a peacekeeper guarding keys. I do find it strange how there's hardly any guards but then again no one ever breaks into the justice building unless it's me but I do know not to think that this is going to be easy where I can tell getting Adam out walking is going to be hard enough by its self them to run into anymore peacekeepers.

I don't have lots of chloroform left and decide to save for later if I need. There's only one guard and can't see anything that he could use to alert other peacekeepers unless he calls for them but I'm planning to get it done by then.

I sneak up and wrap me left arm quickly around his neck and clamp my hands together. He doesn't know what's happening except for that fact that he is being choked. I squeeze harder cutting of his airway. He's fighting back. I put more pressure that I can. I can feel him getting weak but he's not giving up. He quickly stands and I lose hold on him. I take out one of my knives and attempt to stab him in the chest but he moves and it goes in him shoulder. He swiftly picks me up and throws me at the wall. I hit the wall at full force and my mouth fills with blood. My vision is blurred but can still make out the man's outline. The man towers over man. I find the knife on the ground and slide it up my sleeve. I'm then lifted off the ground, but before the man could bash my head in the wall I raise the knife and stab him in the eye. He is now dead but I don't waste time thinking of the kill I need to get Adam out.

I rest on my legs getting my breath back and my vision is slowly adjusting again before I take to keys and unlock Adams cell. Adam seems out of it but he knows who I am and where on our way out of the building. He's badly injured but doesn't seem to be having much trouble moving. We made it to the hallway before the room that I came in but we have reached another problem there peacekeepers everywhere, there all on high alert. I think they know about that guard's death and that Adams escaped from his cell.

I work out that every 5 seconds a guard will walk past the hallway where we're hiding. I have to get the perfect timing for Adam and I to cross to get to the room without the other guards that are situated along the hallway to not notice. I look at Adam to check that he is still alright to move. One hand clutches his side and the blood stains on his ragged clothes have increased, I need to get him out fast before he loses too much blood. Adam seems to notice the pattern of the guards and understands that we have to move fast. He nods and gives me his famous smirk. I know he can do it he's up for the challenge, typical Adam but then it's this type of thinking that might just help us.

We move right after the guards past off swiftly move into the room. Its dark but we can see the window. I give Adam a push up then he crawls out and I follow after him. We have a break just to catch our breath but that doesn't last long as I hear someone around the corner. Adam notices before and pulls me back into the shadows with him. A large man walks past and slows his walking as if he knows that we are hiding. I look over to Adam and see that the strength he once had is gone and he needs medical help fast. I decide that I need to take a chance of getting past this man now, without waiting for him to move on. I take Adam with one of his arms around my shoulders and try to sneak past. He turns around and his blue eyes glow. It's Cato.

I don't know what to do as I stare into his eyes and he stares back. Should I fight or ask for help because I know that I won't be able to get Adam help in time if I'm only carrying him. But why would he want to help me after all I am from district 12 and yet Imp a seam 'rat' as they like to call children in the seam.

'So I'm guessing that you're the prisoner that escaped and you're the partner in crime' he tells as he sees with a deep masculine voice and a small smirk on his face.

'Yes' I reply sounding confident

'And what do you plan on doing and going?' hes asks

'For help' I simply say

He studies me for a moment. 'You're not one for taking are you?' but I know he knows the answer to that so I just nod my head. We seem to then be in a trance, both staring into each other's eyes. His cold, icy blue eyes are empty but yet show strength. I know that he is ruthless that can turn into a killer yet I don't see that in his eyes. I don't see what everyone else talks about and what they run from. I just see strength that is lost.

Adam moans in pain braking our eye contact.

'Help us' I demand, he doesn't say anything for a while,

'Ok I now a place where we can go to get help and should be safe for a few days.'

He leads the way into the darkness.

I suddenly want to know why he decided to help me, help us. But I stay quiet and continue on for Adams wellbeing.
