Whatever it Takes

by loveallthings

Four is a well admired detective and Tris is a rookie who is learning the ropes. Everything is going smoothly until she gets her first case...That's when things start to fall apart and other things fall together. *The point of view changes from Tris to Four every other chapter unless other wise labeled.

15. Chapter 15: I'm Coming

Chapter 15: I'm Coming

I hear a ringing noise and I go to turn my alarm clock off. The irritating noise continues. I groan and stumble across the room to answer my phone.

"Four! Get here right now! I think we've got something!" Zeke's tone is hopeful and I rush to get dressed.

I arrive at the office 10 minutes after I got Zeke's call.

I rush to the elevator and decide it would be better to take the stairs. I pace into the office and brush past a whiny Lauren.

"Four. Please forgive me. Come on, let's go get something to drink. I'll buy!"

I ignore her pleading until I finally make it to Zeke and can't hear her anymore.

Zeke pulls me in for a man hug and tells me he has news.

"Okay so we found the license plate number to the van he rented and tagged some security footage of him at a gas station somewhere in Kingston. It's about 73 miles from here. About an hour and a half with traffic."

He sees the hopeful expression on my face and tells me that some of the guys are laying the plan and are almost ready to go.

"But hey man we can leave right now, if you want. They'll catch up."

I nod and Zeke slaps me on the back and goes to tell the team.

I take a minute to collect myself and I grab the second gun out of my desk. I close my eyes and let the memory take over.

"I remember you too, Beatrice."

"I, I uh," Tris stutters.

I release one of her hands and I press her forehead to mine.

"I think I might like you, Tris but I'm waiting until I'm sure," my voice is barely audible. I hate sounding weak but I can't stop myself from saying my thoughts out loud.

"Sensible of you," she says like she is short of breath.

"Fine. I like you Tris. A lot."

"And maybe I like you as well, but I haven't decided if I'm going to tell you or not."

"And why is that?" I say with a small smile.

The Ferris wheel jolts into motion and I sigh. The moment is ruined. Or so I thought. I feel Tris' hands on my face suddenly and her lips are with mine. I can't remember my name. I can't think at all. All I know is that this girl has to be mine.

I shake my head to clear it from my head of that night on the Ferris wheel.

"Four, you coming?" Zeke calls from across the office.

I squeeze my eyes shut again before replying. I grab my coat and stride towards the door with so much determination. I will save you Tris.
