Erudite's Experiments

Tour Groups

POV Rosalie

Two days later I bury my face in the crook of Miles' neck when my alarm goes off.

"I don't wanna." I complain. He rolls over to turn off the alarm and flops back down.

"You have the kids today, so you have an extra hour." He reminds me and I hum in acknowledgement.

"I wish. Wonderboy needs to talk to me first."

"I hate the commander." Miles says and I nod. I take a deep breath and force myself to get up and get ready for work.

Once I'm in my pants, combat boots, long sleeved shirt, and platoon jacket with my hair braided back I kiss Miles goodbye and then I head out. I've just opened my locker when a very tired Eric and Max walk towards Wonderboy. I look over to Spitfire and she shrugs.

"Rosalie! You know your assignment?" Max asks, him and Wonderboy walking over towards me.

"For the next five days Four, Eric, Sidney, and I are taking the initiates through all the routes save the Middle. The Middle route will be reserved for those that are with Sidney and me, which will be visited on day six." I say and Max nods his head.

"How many do you have your eyes on?"

"Six, sir."

"Sidney and Rosalie will use the sedan while you and Four will use the van." Max orders Eric. "How are you planning on telling the kids about the separated groups?"

"I was thinking at the end of the fifth day I'll let them know since the eight with the boys will be off doing whatever they'll have them doing while Sidney and I will be taking the potentials down the Middle." I say.

"That's actually a really good plan." Eric compliments. "Who all do you have your eye on again?"

"Peter, Uriah, Will, Lynn, Tris, and Mia." I say and Eric tenses slightly at Tris' name. "Yeah, Four's not all that thrilled that I chose Mia."

"She better come back unharmed."

"I can promise that for Abnegation through Dauntless. You know I can't promise that for Amity and the Middle." I say and his jaw ticks.

"She's right, Eric." Max says and he huffs. "For Candor and Abnegation they just use paintballs, right?"

"Yeah, but we all have knives and a pistol."

"We're not giving the initiates a pistol, but we can give them knives that they have to give back at the end of the day." Max says, leading Eric, Wonderboy, and me towards the weapons. I get down two duffle bags and two bags for ammo. Once eight paintball guns are in one bag and six are in another we put the appropriate amount of knives in them.

"Recruits purple and the rest green?" Eric asks.

"Yeah, that works." I say, taking the tag from him to wrap around the handle of the bag of six guns and the ammo and Max does the same with his. I then fill my ammo bag with purple paintballs while Eric fills his with green.

"Okay, good luck." Max says and walks off.

"This is fucking insane." Wonderboy says, shaking his head.

"Especially since Rosalie will be the one driving the recruits." Titan says as he passes.

"She drives better than you do." Spitfire says, following him, and I laugh.

"You five stay safe out there."

"Good luck." Quarterback says and they all leave.

I go to my locker to switch out my jackets and strap on all of my gear. Last up I grab my neuro-sim dart gun.
