  The group walked across the railway that hadn't been used since the Quarter quell. Bombs went off in the distance, Reina flinched for the first few but then got used to the sound. Finnick noticed her flinching and leaned to whisper to her.
" it's okay, your safe sweetheart." He smiled at her and she looked at him too return the smile.
--------------------------------------------------------------
  The walked through the reminisces of what used to be a part of the Capitol.
" I've never seen this place so empty." Cressida commented looking around, The whole group look around at the fallen buildings.
  Reina knew this place all to well. It brought back some of the worst memories. However she kept a strong face on, She needed to be strong. For Katniss..For Finnick.. For Coyro.
" just keep your eyes open." Boggs replied too Cressida. They continued walking but it wasn't long till the holo made a beeping noise. Boggs raised his hand causing the group too holt.
" Got a pod. Let's take cover." He ordered. They all followed after him, like ducklings.
" Shoot through those two buildings." He said pointing. The group kneeled, so Reina followed. Cressida started positioning her film crew. Finnick turned too look at Reina, he mouthed something to her.
' I love you.' Reina smiled as her cheeks turned a light shade of pink. Katniss drew her bow and aimed for the opening between the buildings. She shot the arrow and fire started coming out of the walls of the two buildings.
" all clear."
The group made their way into a building for a resting break. Reina and Finnick sat next to each other. He wrapped his arm around the girl as the leaned into him. He comforted all her nerves, she felt relieved in his arms.
They all stood up when they heard a truck nearing. The group walked towards the noise.
" Stand down, Everyone. It's friendly." Lieutenant Jackson notified everyone. The group watched as a guard opened the back hatch, then Peeta walked out.
Peeta walked with his head down. He was whispering something but Reina could tell what he was saying. Katniss drew her bow at the man she once loved, or... still loved?
" Okay stop." Gale spoke Holding up his hand. Reina then spoke walking towards the man.
" Hold up, Everybody Relax." She said Holding up her hand.
" What are we doin'?" Gale spoke once again, oh how Reina wished he would just shut up for once.
" Peeta.." She whispered too him, he looked up at her a bit with a stone cold look. His eyes softened a bit not much.
" Soldier, this is just a precaution till we get everything straightened out. Yeah?" Lieutenant Jackson told him while putting and cuffs on him.
The group walked back inside the building with Peeta. Reina sat on a old seat next too finnick while peeta stood in front of the two. Reina didn't listen much, she only heard them talking about putting Peeta in a propo.
" He's not in control of himself." Gale spoke. Sometimes Reina just wanted too shoot the man in the head, Of course he wasn't in control of himself. But he was trying.
" I say we schedule a around the clock watch on him. The legs till 1700, homes and Mitchell till 1900."
" Give me a watch." Katniss spoke.
" And if it really came down to it, you think you could shoot him?"
" I wouldn't be shooting Peeta. I'd be shooting a Capitol mutt." No she wouldn't. No matter how much she wanted to believe it, Katniss would never shoot Peeta. She loved him to much and Reina knew it. Peeta's face dropped a bit at that comment and it seemed only Reina noticed. She felt bad for the boy, he had gone through so much and now the girl he loved basically told him she would kill him with no remorse. Peeta was still in There.
The kind hearted, bakers son Reina had watched on the screens just two years ago.
