Tobias POV

"I didn't do it! Don't you believe them Tobias! You know me!" Tris yells. I glance around at the people that gather. This isn't happening...

One week ago.

I step foot onto the wooden platform. The beach looks beautiful at night. Zeke's light signals me letting me know that the coast is clear. I run over to a lighthouse. Once I reach it I place in the code Fernando had given me. 276435

Access code excepted. It reads. I slowly open the door and make my way in...

Once I reach the security room...I open the door. Slowly so they won't know I'm there. I bring a cloth around each of the two people. They fall asleep immediately. I search for the room they are in. Marcus said he was going to a meeting. What better then a lighthouse.

I find the recording and bring the volume up. Marcus, Natalie , and Jeanine are seated in a circular table.

"It is necessary that we build more hotels" Jeanine says.

"But why does it have to be there exactly? People's life are at risk. Those are people's homes we are destroying" Natalie defends. She took over Andrew Priors Job when he passed away...

"I don't know...the people may never allow this kind of thing to happen" Marcus says. And he's right...but Jeanine stops at nothing.

"Fine...but I had the idea of paying them for moving. That way we're not risking anything" she says. What? Natalie Prior seems irritated with her response. They can't do that!

"We'll report this case to the city hall to get authorization...in the mean time please don't do anything stupid Jeanine" Marcus says. He walks out.

"Jeanine is stopping at nothing" Uriah shakes his head in disappointment.

"I know..."

"Well is there some way you can get your father to disagree with her?" Marlene asks.

"He might be my dad but no" I glance over at Tris. She seems to be observing a layout. She hasn't spoken since I told everyone "what do you think?" She looks up and meets my eyes.

"I um...I think it's about time we fight back" I don't move my eyes from hers. She still thinks her father's death wasn't in accident. For some reason I don't disagree with her. I would normally tell her to let go but I think his death wasn't an accident.

"And what do you plan on doing?" I notice that the crew notes the tension in between us.

"Dauntless style" she says in all seriousness. I can't fight the tugging of my lips moving upward. She's finally got that dauntless spirit.

"Why don't you bring yourself over here and show us what you're working on" she raises an eyebrow. Everyone knows I'm challenging her. "Well what are you waiting for Beatrice?" Everyone holds in a laugh.

She walks over to us paper and hand. She bumps into me purposely and sets the poster on the round table. Sounds right for around the times of the black death.

"Okay" I lean into the table next to her. Will cuts the lights leaving only the orange light over the round table. Seems fancy "so what have we got here?" I make sure that I'm as close to her as possible. Only to intimidate her. That's the fun part with Tris.

"Alright...I checked through my mom's documents and I think they are meeting up this Wednesday. So we're on a time limit, exactly..."

"Four days" I cut her off. She nods.

"I suggest that we revolt against them...we bring Divergent and Erudite together to form one team. Only to fight against them"

"I doubt Eric will ever let that pass" Zeke says.

"Well, it is their home too" she says.

"Yeah but in Four days? Lets just try to do it on our own. If they don't listen then...we'll have to join in with Erudite" I tell her. She sighs.

"Okay..." she uncovers the poster "these are the blueprints of the building...if we get to know the entire area then it will probably work"

"What will work?" Al asks. She looks up at each and every one of us.

"We're performing live for them...front row seats" she smirks. She turns around and returns with a hat. The kind that Michael Jackson would wear. This is the Tris I know.

Tris POV

Day 1

Zeke announces"Alright everyone...we have decided to do dubstep" they all cheer.

"Okay so...we are splitting in three groups...Christina, Marlene and Four..."

"Tobias you mean" he corrects me.

"Whatever" I roll my eyes "you will be the captains of each team...Will you are assigned to Christina's group...Zeke with Marlene and Uriah with Tobias"

"Since when do I have to take orders from you?" Zeke protests.

"Since I took over Tobias Job" I glance at Tobias. He shrugs at Zeke.

"Right" he walks off with Marlene. I stand there taking note of the people.

"Okay...looks like we're ready to roll" they each spread out. I walk over to Uriah and Tobias "how much do you two know about escalators?"

"They move up and down?" Uriah questions.

"Okay and what happens if you go up while the escalator is moving down?" I ask.

"You stand in one place" Tobias answers.

"Good...now use the stairs" I walk away leaving both of them extremely confused. They're smart...they'll get it. I make my way up the stairs and into Zeke's office. I sit down and take over a computer.

"Alright dad, what is it that you died for" A video pops onto the screen. My dad's car
... I press play and look back to make sure no one is watching.

My dad's car stops at a red light. It moves on ahead and that's when a blue car zooms by making impact with the side of the car. It tumbles over to where I can't see the car any longer. I cover my mouth.

A knock on the door startles me..."Tris?" I glance at the door. It's Tobias. I turn around and exit the camera. He walks in and takes a seat on top of the desk next to mine.

"I thought you were practicing..."

"I came to check on you first...I'm sure Uriah can handle that" I smile at the ground.

"Always so sure of yourself" I look up. He nods. I know he might think I'm obsessed with this but maybe if I figure this out...I may be able to tie all the loose ends.

"You shouldn't be watching that stuff" he says. I look back at the computer. Did he see?

"I just wanted to see...no big deal" I meet his eyes. He's serious.

"Maybe Jeanine has something to do with this" I furrow my eyebrows.

"You think this wasn't in accident?"

"No, I mean things happen but I don't think this was an accident"

"Why do you think Lauren was with Jeanine?"

"We'll figure that out soon enough" I nod.

Soon we will find out how Lauren and Jeanine are connected. Thanks guys. Hold on for me cause writers block is getting to me...
