Tobias P.O.V.

Why do I get a feeling that something is gonna happen soon? I just have this feeling that I can't shake and it is starting to make me feel on edge. We are busy with our breakfast and I am still smiling about our time before breakfast.

Wow, is all I can think. This was even better than before and I thought that it won't get better than that. But with Tris, I am always surprised. She is one of a kind and that is what I love about her. She keeps me on my toes and I really missed that when I wasn't with her these past 3 years. I really am a different person with her and I love the person I am. I had my time as Tobias in Abnegation, the shy and afraid little boy. Then I became Four, the dauntless with four fears that most was afraid of. I was fine being that person until Tris fell into that net. That is when I realise I can be more.

Then the war happened and I lost her, a piece of me lost with her. I really can't even recognise myself then, I don't know what I was. Then she came back, and now I know this is the person I want to be. To be the person she deserves and needs. After the war, everything has changed, but not my love for her. That is one thing that only grew stronger now than it was before.

I realise that both of us are quiet, but it is a comfortable silence. I peek at her and see her smile. I am guessing she enjoyed our little time too. I love to see a smile on her face, it makes me happy to see her happy. Even with all the chaos with The Bureau going on. Once I am done with breakfast, I clean up and turn to Tris, "I need to quickly go into the office to talk to Johanna. Do you want to come with?"

She looks at me with those beautiful eyes and answer, "I want to see Caleb again. I am going to phone him and ask him to meet me again. Will that be okay?"

"You don't need my permission Tris. Of course you can see him, do you need me to wait till he comes or will you be okay?" I ask her.

"No, you go and do your work, I'll phone him once I am done here and let him meet me here." she says, giving me a smile.

"Okay," I tell her, bending down and giving her a kiss. She deepens it and I don't mind one bit. After a few minutes, she pulls away and smiles at me, "See you soon."

"I love you, see you in a bit." I give her another quick kiss and I head out the door. Locking it behind me. She has a key to let herself out. As I walk, I still can't get that damn feeling to go away. I am deep in thought and realise that I never paid attention to where I was going until Robert greets me. I walked all the way to the office without thinking about it.

I go up, get my work done quickly with James' help. I go to Johanna's office and find out everything that it going on with the case. I also ask her to look into Jason for me, I really feel this has something more to it. She give me some good news about the case and can't wait to tell Tris. I think she is going to be very happy. I head back out the office a few hours later, feeling better than I did before. But as I get closer to my apartment, the more uneasy I start to feel. By the time I get to the lobby, I am already running, a cold chill going down my spine. Before I get to my apartment door, I get the sense of Déjà Vu.

I get to the door and see it broken again.

Oh come on!!!!

Again? Please no. The previous time was torture, but this time I have a feeling that she isn't going to stand in the doorway. I get into the apartment and see the coffee table turned and a few small things trashed, like someone was struggling. I head to the phone and pray that she is still with Caleb, but I am feeling sick to my stomach now. I dial his number, my fingers are shaking so bad, I had to try twice to get the number right.

He answers with his normal, "Dr Caleb Prior speaking."

"Hi, it's Four, is Tris with you now?" I ask, but I can already sense what his answer is going to be.

"Sorry, I was in a meeting when she phoned earlier, and we scheduled to meet up tomorrow morning, why is something wrong?" he asks me. "I am not sure, she isn't at home, so I am just wondering where she is." As I say this, something catches my eye under

the coach. "Caleb, just hold on a minute please." I tell him, not listening to his answer. I head to the coach and see what caught my eye.

I nearly go ice cold as I pick the vial up. No, no, no, no. This is not happening. I head back to the phone and tell Caleb to get here as fast as possible and put the phone down. I never even said goodbye, or I don't think I have. My mind is only on the vial in my hand, my head screaming and my body not working atm. I crumble to the ground with the vial in my hand. I already know what serum this is, even without Caleb's opinion.

All I ask is that it didn't work this time. I am sitting there, staring at the vial for so long, that I can hear someone run down the corridor to my apartment. A few minutes later Caleb comes around the corner. He is staring at me, trying to catch his breath. I think he might have tried to talk to me, but my mind is still on Tris. Why does everyone target her? And killing me in the process?

I feel someone's hand on mine, only realising that Caleb is trying to take the vial by me. I look up at him and ask, "is it what I think it is?"

I see him stare at it, a tear on the corner of his eye as he whispers, "Yes. It is memory serum."

I feel like someone just threw me in the Arctic Ocean and ran me over with a train. The feeling I have now, there is no explanation as to how it hurts. I would gladly take beatings from Marcus again. That hurt less than what this hurts. Someone got to Tris and injected her with memory serum. With all these thoughts, I forgot that Caleb was still here. His eyes have a few tears threatening to spill. I think mine already did at a feel wet on my arms, which is in my lap at the moment. I am not going to let anyone get away with this!

I get up and head to the phone again. I call Zeke, Amar and George as they are all on the police force. I tell them what happened. They tell me that they will try their best to look for her. I then contact Johanna and tell her the same. She said she will look into it and perhaps get an announcement out to anyone that sees or finds her, to have them contact the police. I feel a bit better with the knowledge that I am trying to look for her. Caleb has been so quiet that I forgot he was there.

He heads to the door with the vial and turns to me, "I am going to analyse this and get some answers. I will let you know if I find anything, will you please do the same?"

"Of course, if I find her, you will be the first to know." I answer him truthfully. And with that he is gone. I decide that I can't stay here and do nothing, so I grab my mobile phone and head out the door. Trying to find Tris, even if it's the last thing I do.
