A/N:
See you at the bottom...
Enjoy!
Katniss P.O.V
"Where is she?" Rory yells at us. It's only been 2 hours since Haymitch, Boggs, Finnick and I have gotten back. Jo told me that Rory has been freaking out ever since this morning. I give a side ways glance to Jo seeing as she failed to inform Rory about Prim's whereabouts. I look back at Rory who looks a mess. I've never seen him like this.
"Rory, calm down. I'm sure she's just went out for the day." Gale tries to sooth him. Rory just gives him a scowl.
"It isn't like her to not text me in the morning or when I text her. I know something happened to her and I want to know what!" He exclaims fuming now. I sigh knowing I'm going to have to tell him the bad news.
"She's been taken." I tell him finally speaking up. Gale and Rory heads snap toward the sound of my voice.
"What do you mean taken?" Rory all but shouts.
"Yeah what do you mean taken?" Gale says coping Rory who glares at him. I roll my eyes at them.
"How dense can you people be? I said she was taken. Who do you think she was taken by? the people who are after us that's who. She was taken last night when Finnick, her and i where in the parking lot. They ambushed us. Then they blindfolded and gagged her and carried her away into a car and drove off. We tried to follow them but the police were on us so we couldn't get them." I explain to them.
Both their faces show horror at what I just explained to them.
"She couldn't have been taken that easily you guys have trained for this. How could you have not been able to fight back?!" Rory shouts turning red.
"I tried to get to her but being tackled to the ground and hitting your head twice takes a toll on you. and besides she let herself get taking. She could have easily escaped the guy that grabbed her but she thought it was the only way in finding our Dad, so she let them take her." I exclaim wanting to just lay down in my bed and be wrapped around Finnick's heat. All the color drains from Rory's face as he lets this sink in.
"Do you at least know where she is now?" Peeta ask in a calm voice.
"Yea, we went to Washington this morning and had a little meeting and got her location and our Dad's." I say smirking remembering our little trip upstate.
"Bullshit, that wasn't a little meeting. Who goes to a meeting and comes back here with a bruised rib?" Jo states. I shrug I had totally forgot that Finnick has me in his lap on the couch with a bag of frozen peas to my side that is numb from the cold.
"Whatever Jo." I say rolling my eyes.
"Don't whatever me brainless. I want to hear all about this ' little meeting' right now.' She says using quotation marks on my words. I roll my eyes not wanting to retell the story.
"Actually we have the security tapes from when we got there.' Haymitch comments and pulls out a CD. I sigh not wanting anyone to watch me being not-me.
"Yay! Put it in Hay." Jo exclaims excitingly. Haymitch shrugs and put it in the DVD player since we are all in the living room. He takes a seat next to Finnick and I and we watch us, mostly me on the screen.
Once it was over they all stared, except for Haymitch and Finnick, at me wide-eyed and shocked.
"Well, who knew you could act so...crazy..." Gale trails off not knowing what to say.
"I would be scared to even go near you if I were those guys." Rory comments.
"Oh my Gosh did you really push him off the building? That was so smart to come up with. Maybe you're not so brainless after all." Jo exclaims. I nod not sure what to say.
"No wonder Boggs acts like he does." Peeta says after a minute.
"Yea, apparently from what Haymitch says he was hired by my Granddad to watch over Prim and me." I tell them. They nod.
"So where is my baby?" Rory ask finally.
"Up in the Rocky Mountains 6 hours from here in a warehouse where guards are on every corner." I sigh still haven't come up with a plan to get in their and sneak them out.
"I want to go and help" Rory states. I shake my head at him.
"No, Prim would kill you herself then me if she ever found out you were helping us." I tell him seriously. He deflates sighing but nods in understanding.
"So who all are going with you, Haymitch and Boggs?" Gale ask.
"Johanna and that's it." I say. Gale frowns and I feel Finnick tense under me.
"Why can't I help?" Gale whines.
"Because you haven't been training with a gun like Johanna has. She's more experienced than you." I scold him. He nods.
"When are you guys leaving?" Peeta ask.
"Tomorrow in morning because we still need to plan out everything and get ready." I explain thinking.
"By the way, Jo we need to train tonight before we leave." I say looking at her. She nods curtly knowing i'm being serious.
Finnick and I go to my room so I can change for training and train for the rest of the day until it's time to go to bed. Finnick has been unusually quiet since we've watched the tape, but when I close the door to my bedroom he starts talking.
"You can't expect me to stay here and do nothing but worry while your 6 hours away fighting." He exclaims.
"Your not coming Finnick. I'm not letting you put yourself in danger just because your worried about me." I scold him. He rolls his eyes.
"I am coming because I'm not letting you out of my sight. I don't want anything to happen to you." He's whispering now as he takes my face in his hands.
"You don't have anything to worry about. I know what I'm doing. Your going to be safer here instead of with me." I tell him. He drops his hands from my face and huffs in frustration.
"You don't always have a say in what I can and can't do. I'm coming even if I have to handcuff myself to you. Your not going without me and that's final." He says with no more room for protest. I sigh knowing I can't change his mind he's too stubborn to listen when he has his mind-set on something.
"Fine, but don't expect me to like it." I say and stomp over to my drawer and pull out a clean sports bra and underwear. I change into them and then put on my spandex shorts and my tennis shoes. I take my hair out of its braid and tie it up in a ponytail. I then march over to where he is and look at him expectantly.
"What?" He ask finally.
"Your going to wear that to train?" I ask him looking at him still in his outfit from the trip.
"What's wrong with it?" He ask looking down at it. I roll my eyes.
"Go change into some basketball shorts and white-beater." I tell him. He nods and goes over to my dresser where some of his clothes are and changes into the clothes I told him and puts on his running shoes. I grab his arm and pull him out the door and downstairs to the basement thinking,
How can he think I don't want him with me? Of course I want him to go, but it would be too dangerous for him and he's unskilled. Doesn't he get it?He's just too stubborn to realize this was for his own good.
"Come on Jo, that's not what we need to focus on." I tell Jo when I see working on the knifes. I grab her arm as I walk by her, dragging her and Finnick to another door she's only been in twice and Finnick never being in here. I open it and swings close behind us. I hand her a hand gun and one for Finnick and grab one for my self. I leave them all unloaded and put the bullets on a table in front of us. I grab a timer and press restart on it.
"Load the gun Jo." I order her with my finger hovering over the start button. I press start when she starts.
"Too slow. It took you 20 seconds to load 4 bullets. It should have only taken 10 seconds." I tell her restarting the timer. I turn and look at Finnick.
"Load the gun Finn." I order him and start the timer. He's even slower than Jo.
"That was way too slow. It took you a minute." I tell him. I restart the timer. and hand it to Jo.
"Time and watch me." I say.
"OK, ready and go." Jo says and starts the timer. I quickly put all 10 bullets in my hand gun and put the gun down.
"9 seconds." Jo says. I smile.
"OK, so for an hour this what we will be working on until you guys can at least do 15 seconds. Then we're going to practice hand to hand fighting with a gun and a knife. Then we are going to practice your throwing with knives. Lastly we will practice your shooting." I tell them. This is going to take us all up until night-time.
I work them hard until everything is half descent. It's night-time by now and they are exhausted. We leave the basement and into Haymitch's office. When we get in their we see him on the phone talking.
we wait for 20 minutes until he's done and he hands up the phone.
"Alright Sweetheart. Everything is set. Bogg's got his people who will be waiting for my cue to move in and get the Boss. I'll be in a Van not far from the warehouse and tap into their security cameras to direct you where to go. You all will have a head set so you can hear me. You'll tranquilize any guard that gets in the way and if it's life or death you shoot to kill with your real gun. You'll have bullet proof vest on so you won't have to worry about that. All you have to do is find Prim and your Dad and get out of their. Boggs will do the rest." Haymitch explains. We nod.
"Sounds easy enough." Jo comments.
"Oh, it's anything but easy Sugar." He tells her shaking his head. " So I suggest you get a good night's sleep tonight and when we are in the Van. Because there is no telling how long this will take." We nod again and turn to leave.
