Hello people! I know it's been long, but hey, I'm here. I was busy studying for finals and I passed, I'm done with highschool! I made this chapter long to make up to you guys. I'm gonna try to post a few more chapters before I start college. Enjoy the chapter!

Tris' POV

"Come on Tris, we have to go or we're gonna be late." I hear Caleb's voice ringing through my newly rented one-bedroom apartment-

"Correction, you're going to be late. I'm still supposed to be dead, remember?"

"Yeah, well, enough with the technicalities and hurry up, it's time to bring you back to the land of the living." Caleb is starting to look annoyed by know. I really ought to hurry up.

I get my brief case and look at my reflection in the mirror one last time before I head out with my brother, hoping i picked the right outfit. I'm used to dressing formally for meetings, but this isn't a business meeting or a council meeting, Johann is my friend, or at least she used to be, therefore i can't dress to formally or I'll seem to impersonal, but I also can't dress too casually or it will look like i don't respect the ocasion or the people taking part in it. I eventually settled for a pair of dark blue fitting jeans, a white blouse and a simple-cut black blazer, which is what I'm wearing now. As i look at myself in the mirror, i regret my choice of hairstyle, the updo i executed now seems too strict and i don't want to be seen as unapproachable, even more so because Tobias will be there as well. Quickly, i let my hair loose and get it up again in a loose bun, letting some bangs fall along the sides of my face. Much better now.

"Tris! You look pretty, now let's get going!" Caleb is now huffing with impatience. I pick up my brief case again and we exit the apartment. Next destination: Johanna Reyes' office.

Tobias' POV

As I look at the clock and realize it's 10:28, I get the faint reminder of an appointment at 10:30, so I check the name on the appointment book. The name there shocks me slightly, it's one I haven't heard in a long time. Why does he want to meet with Johanna? Then, there's a knock on the door.

"Caleb Prior, right?" Johanna asks. I nod and look down at my paperwork and she goes to get the door herself.

"Good morning, Mr. Prior." A shell-shocked silence follows. "And Miss Prior." It's real. It's happening. Tris is back, alive and well. I finally look up and our eyes meet briefly, until she returns her attention to Johanna. She looks good, a bit older and more serious. Most importantly, she looks healthy and unharmed.

"Hello Ms. Reyes, it's nice to see you again." She says it with a smile that could bright up a dark room.

"It is indeed, Tris. And please, call me Johanna." Placing a hand on Tris' arm, she gestures towards the chairs in front of her desk. "It's been a long time since we last saw each other. Too long. And I was under the impression that you were dead."

Tris and Caleb swiftly sit down on the chairs. When they're sitting so close together, their physical resemblances really show. They have the same eye shape, the same jaw line, though Tris' is somewhat smoother, and their noses are slightly similar, Tris' is bigger than Caleb's. The characteristic in which they're less similar is their eye colour. Their eyes are blue, but Tris' are more greyish, more mysterious, Caleb's are awfully transparent.

Tris begins her speech.

"All that was safe for you to know was that I was, indeed, dead." She states. "After all that business in the compound with the death serum and the shooting, the doctors were still able to keep me alive. Matt and I – he was a researcher that worked at the compound – came across the information of a conspiracy against GDs starting in the government. Actually, we didn't know if it was really against the GD, but, given the circumstances, we assumed so. I left to find out more before the people who had gone into the city came back." A.k.a., me.

"Letting everyone believe you were dead." Johanna included.

"Correct. Matt was the only one, other than me, who knew the truth. I ended up in the Fringe making my way to the top. By coincidence, I met an old friend who had my back all the while."

Caleb looked at Tris suspiciously. "Was it…?" he asks.

"It was." Tris smiled at him.

"How much time did you spend in the Fringe?" Johanna inquired.

"From 6 months to a year. I don't really remember. I don't really know, actually. Everything moves faster there, time seems to blend together."

"Probably because of all the adrenaline."

Tris nods in agreement. "Most likely, yes."

She then continues. "First, I plotted to overthrow a minor drug lord that operated in the region. After weeks of threatening people, I managed to gather the required weapons, examine blue prints of the site, which were not easy to come by, and devise a plan. As I was about to go in, a shooting starts out. It didn't last longer than 5 minutes. Once the gun shots stopped, I went in, only to find the members of the drug operation dead and a group of people destroying the cocaine. I recognized one of them. Well, actually, he recognized me and that made me recognize him. Nobody had called me "Little miss Prior" in a long time. In fact, I thought he was dead. It's a bit ironic, isn't it?" Tris chuckled lightly. It was obvious she is very fond of this person she's talking about, the little twinkle in her eyes gave it right away. "Once reunited with my friend, his comrades became mine as well and together we freed the Fringe of the command of the most dangerous drug lord that place has ever seen."

"Impressive."

"It's not really that impressive, I had help." Tris smiles after that statement. "Then, I went to Washington and infiltrated the Government, so to speak."

"You did what now?" Johanna seems shocked.

"Infiltrated the Government. All out in the open, of course. I "accidentally" bumped into one of the members of the President's Council on the street, which caused the contents of his brief case to spill out, contents on which I commented, earning his interest. After that, I became his assistant, mostly like a council member trainee."

"Who is this man?"

"His name's Councilman Powell. A decent enough guy, wouldn't hurt a fly. His heart's in the right place, but he's easily influenced. Well, being his assistant guaranteed me a vast and reliable network of information sources. At first, things were shady and the bits and pieces of information I received seemed random. After a while and with Matt's aid, we found out exactly who the conspiracy was against and we was calling the shots." At this point, Caleb is eyeing Tris intensly and both Tris and Johanna are leaning in towards the table. I am also leaning in and my body's tensing unconsciously.

"Who? Who is it?"

"The man is a relatively recent council member, still a minor one, but he has a way with words that can make the strongest minded person accept his ideas. And this conspiracy…it's not like anything we've ever seen before. It's completely new."

"So, it's not againt the GD?" Johanna is looking paler by the minute.

"No. It's quite the opposite, actually." Tris takes a deep breath before continuing. "It's against the GP." Johanna gasps and Caleb clenches his jaw. I'm getting a feeling that Tris isn't done yet. "And it's not just against a secluded group. It's all of them. Of us. He wants to kill us all."

I hope you enjoyed that! Pretty big revelation, is it not? Review and let me know what you think! Thank you!
