It's my third week working here, and its been extremely slow. Max gas put me and Four on probation until we learned to get along. I won't talk to him though. I know that I should but I have always been stoburn. So he has to talk to me first. Every case there is, is going to Uriah and Zeke. I've talked to them and found out that their brothers. Uriah is the same age as me, yet Four didn't have a problem with that. Oh wait, he does know what age he is... Oops. Zeke is the same age as Four. Eighteen.

Me. Right now. I'm sitting at my desk typing up a stood essay on my life Max told me to write. I guess its parts of the initiation thing. I have to front he first thing I remember. Its difficult to know which eventncame first... Oh wait, no its not. I know the story of my parents so I'm telling that. Its something like this:
My parents had to give me up when I was first both because I'd an unknown reason. I have an older brother by ten month. I don't know his nae though. My parents are Natalie, and Andrew Prior. My first foster home I stayed in just for six months. The foster parents decided that they couldn't handle a baby. Then I was transfered from Maine to-

"What are you writing?" I click out and look up, and there stand Four. What a surprise. "Fine don't tell me." He pulls up a chair and sits next to me. I look at him like he's crazy. He laughs and smiles. "What?" He scrunches his eyebvrws together. I don't answer. "Come on. At least tell me your name. Its been three weeks of us sitting next to each other, mad, and blocked by this cubical. I would Luke to at least know who I'm mad at. " I sigh.

"Tris. " I tell him. "My name is Tris. "

"No last name?"

"Not that I know of." I tell him.

"Hey, Tom and Jerry." We both look over our shoulder towards Lynn. That's what she calls us because we fight a lot. "Looks like you finally got to talking huh?" I stare daggers at her and she smirks.  "Well that's good, Max is on his way he'll-"

"Have tom and jerry started talking nice yet?" I guess max is in one it to. He just walzed right on in and asks, like alright, sure. He looks at us. "Looks like it. I hope your ready for action. Someone is on the run! Now go! Lynn will tell you more information. " Four and I look at each other, then both run outside. I grab my helmet while going and hop on my bike.

"Alright Lynn where am I going?" I ask as I put my helmet on_and drive off.

"The target just left to jewelers shop and is heading down the main road."

"North or south?"

"South"

"Got it, where are you four?"

"Right behind you, but I think I see the target up ahead." He tells me. I speed up and look around.

"Where?"

"He's on foot in the field." I look and I see a boy about my age running through the long dead grass.

"I cant believe I'm doing this." I speed up even more and get close to the field. I lift my feet up I put my weight on them and push off and roll onto the field getting a face full of grass. I stand uocand and start to run towards the boy. I look back_and see my bike ram into a parked truck. "You guys so owe me a new bike." I say. When I reach the boy I jump on jphim knocking him over, and we tumble to the ground rolling across the ground. The impact knocking off my helmet. I land on top but he punches me in the face and rolls us over. He grabs my neck and I grab his. Him having the better leveredge, it gets harder to breathe. My hands start going numb and my vision gets fuzzy. I take my hands away from his neck, and try to take his hands off my neck. They don't budge though. I choke and slap him in the face and punch him the the other way. It chatches him off guard and I push him off while gasping for air. I shut up, and look at him Hilton his face and shaking his head. As he sits up, I push him back firm and punch him again. "Who are you?" I ask through clenched teeth.

"I'm not telling. " I punch him again, and his head bounces off the ground and he blacks out a little.

"Tell me."

"C...Ca..." And he's gone. I grunt and push him to the ground. I get up and see Four running towards me.

"Hey, wow slow down what happened? Why are you so worked up?"

"I- I just-" I shake my head. "I don't know. " I pick my helmet on and walk back over to the boy. "There was just something about his eyes, and his touch that felt so..." I shiver. I didn't want to think about it. "Whatever, just forget it. Help me get him back to headquarters. "

When we get back to headquarters we put him in a cell and plan on questioning him tomorrow. I sit in my chair and stare at the clock. I feel a large hand go on my shoulder, and it makes me feel small and cold. "Hey," I look up and see Four. "Why don't we go to dinner tomorrow night," he shrugs while saying, "to get to know each other better." I look back at the clock and sigh.

"I don't know..."

"Oh come on. You know if we don't do it tonight then it will never happen." I look up at him again.

"Alright, what do I have to loose?" I smile.

"Great, I'll pick you up around 7:30 so we can make it there by 8:00"

"Where are we going?" I ask

"My favorite restaurant."

"McDonald's?"

"Very funny, but no its actually pretty fancy, so wear something nice." I groan. "What?"

"That means I have to go shopping because I don't have anything else with me. I already wore every outfit I own."

"Oh I can get you ready." I look over my other shoulder and see Uriah smirking. "Your in for the time of your life little one." He tells me.

Sarcastically, I say,"Can't wait."
