Hey readers I'm sorry to say that I will not be posting again this week because I have volleyball camp from early morning to mid afternoon. Then I have my high school summer league or whatever it is. This is a just a heads up. I'm also sorry tht this chapter is pretty short. It was one of those chapters where you don't like it and re-write 100 times until you give into what you have already. And I'm rambling on aren't I? Anyway I hope you enjoy this chapter! I'm sure you'll love the ending.

Tobias

I can't process what's going on. My vision is horribly blurry. All I see are puffs of objects. Christina says something, but I don't know what it was. When I close my I feel everything around me go limp. Snapping my eyes open I see a large door. On top a red sign that I assume says emergency. "Come Tobias stay awake," I hear Christina says. She lifts my arm and wraps it over her shoulder. Slowly I get out to walk- limp with her to the door.

"We need help," Christina yells as we make it through the door. Everything is so bright that I have squint. Which doesn't help my being able to see any easier. Suddenly I see a bunch of people rushing towards me. I try to take a step back, but stumble over Chris. She's still holding onto me as she says, "not all at once he's claustrophobic." Now I cannot help, but smile at that. It reminds me of being Four. My nickname. When Nita called me that I felt sick.

However I have to say sometimes I miss being Four, but being Tobias isn't that bad. I sit on a white bed and a nurse helps me lay down. "Tobias," I hear someone yell. The voice female and I wished it was Tris, but I know this voice. It's Evelyn. Wearily I say, "don't worry...just a bullet wound." I hear her groan as I'm wheeled away into God knows where. Maybe emergency room, but Christina wrapped it and the bullet isn't in there. Or at least I don't think it is.

If so then my day has gotten worse. Just think I was going for a record of never having a surgery. "Okay Tobias were going to put you under," says one voice. I try opening my eyes, but again far to bright. Instead I just nod absently. A needle pushes into my forearm and they ask me to count from 100-1. I don't count. I picture Tris's face looking back at me counting. I guess I was counting in my mind, but it was nicer when she did it.

When I wake up I'm in a car. In the back seat to be more precise. The seats are murky green color. Groaning I sit up from lying down position. "Tobias thank goodness your alright," I hear Evelyn say. For a moment I'm worried she's taking me back to my apartment, but then I see Christina in the passenger seat.

"What happened, wait don't answer that where are we and where is Tris," I ask rubbing my eyes. Christina hand me her flip phone. I look to see who it is, but no called ID. "Hello," I say then I hear her voice. "Oh my God Tobias I'm so glad your okay," Tris says softly. Smiling I reply, "of course it's just a bullet wound." "Just a bullet wound," she breathes a laugh.

"Tris where are you now," I ask nervously. She doesn't answer right away, but when she does I don't like it. "I don't know, Zeke, Marlene and I have been driving all night. I don't know where we are headed, but it's far," Tris explains making me aggitated. "Put Zeke on the phone," I say and a moment later I hear Zeke say, "what's up man?" I smile inwardly as I say, "where the hell are you guys?"

Zeke laughs as he says, "We are at 42 degrees-," "I want an address," I say and Zeke laughs at me. A moment later I hear Marlene say, "we don't know the address yet, but when we get there, we'll tell you." Not the answer I wanted, but it's the only one I'm going to get. Tris comes on the phone and says, "I love you Tobias. Please get here safe."

"I love you too Tris and I promise I will be by your side," I say then we both hang up.

Unknown

"We were close," Nita says as she stares at the drawing board in front of her. Rolling my eyes I say, "close isn't good enough, you said you wanted Beatrice, but can't get your hands on her." Nita's silence is confirmation she is just as angry as I am. "Why do you need Beatrice now," I ask curisously. I know she's had the girl for nearly three years. Why wasn't that enough to get all the data she wanted.

Her twisted laugh makes me nervous, "every simulation we did was a distraction while we mapped her brain and every other part of her being." "Then why are you after her now," I ask interested in this conversation. "Because in order to follow through my plan I need her blood and DNA," Nita says as she turns to face me, "This is where you come in Marcus, I need your men."

"What's in it for me," I ask leaning back in my chair. Nita smiles, "if you bring Tris to me I will get your son." "I do not want my son Tobias," I say and she laughs, "who said anything about Tobias?" I stand up slowly as I say, "what are you talking about Nita?"

With a smirk she says, "when your wife left she was pregnant with a boy. How they became seperated is unknown to me." This is a huge surprise, "is he..." She nods, "he is divergent, but a weak one and a child. In order for my expieriment to work he has to be full and as a boy he can still change."

This could work out in my favor, but what purpose would I have for this other kid. A second chance perhaps. "Alright Nita you give me my son and I will get you Tris," I say and her smile is clear that we have deal.
