I walk into the Hob from the back room. I weave through people trying to find Coriolanus, Sejanus and their friends in the crowd of people. I wouldn't be sitting with them if Lucy Gray didn't insist I do so if anything happens Coriolanus can protect me or whatever. I tap Coriolanus' arm and he looks over at me. He smiles at me a little bit standing up and letting me sit on his crate. That's when Maude Ivory comes out and introduces everyone, before they start playing. About an hour into the show Coriolanus grabs my hand pulling me up and walking out of the Hob.

"Where are we going?" I ask looking up a Coriolanus confused.

"We're following Sejanus. I am making sure he doesn't get into any trouble, and Lucy Gray wants me to take you anywhere with me during the show." Coriolanus says looking down at me quirking his lips in a small smile. I nod and we walk along the alley and tiptoe towards the shed. Coriolanus peers into the shed. He walks in and then immediately stops holding on to my hand tighter. He starts to hold up his one hand that isn't holding mine. That's when I hear Lucy Gray's footsteps and her laugh. No don't come in here there's a gun.

"Hey! Saw you slip out. Barb Azure said if you-" Lucy Gray stops immediately tensing up. She picks me up which allows Coriolanus to put his other hand up. She holds me tightly against herself as she clings on to Coriolanus' arm.

"Inside," The man said. Coriolanus and Lucy Gray both walk inside as the door shuts behind us. I cling on to Lucy Gray my body shaking with fear.

"Shh it's ok, we're ok, it's gonna be ok." Lucy Gray whispers in my ear.

"No. It's all right, Spruce. He's with me. All three of them are with me." Sejanus says quickly getting up to his feet.

"Thought we agreed this was between us." Spruce says,

"He's like my brother. He'll cover for me when we run. Buy us more time." Sejanus says and Coriolanus gives no verbal reponse he just nods. Spruce pointed the gun at me and Lucy Gray and Lucy Gray immediately puts me down pushing me behind her.

"What about those two." Spruce says,

"I told you about them. They're going north with us. The older one is my girl and the younger one is her sister." Billy Taupe says,

"If you'll take us." Lucy Gray says,

"You two aren't together?" Spruce says looking between Coriolanus and Lucy Gray.

"He's seeing my cousin. Barb Azure. She sent me to tell him where to meet up tonight is all." Lucy Gray says holding one of her hands to my back so I am as close to her body as possible.

"That's right," Coriolanus says. They are trying to get out of this situation and they are lying. I say they are doing pretty well too.

"I guess you two will be company for Lil." Spruce says lowering his gun.

"That's quite the hall." Coriolanus says looking at all the weapons in the bag.

"Not for five people. It's the ammo I'm concerned about. Be helpful if you could get us some more of that from the base." Spruce says,

"Maybe. We don't really have access to the armory. But I can look around." Sejanus says,

"Sure. Stock up," A voice from the darkness says. I could recognize that voice anywhere it's Mayfair Lipp. I hate her she is annoying and the reason Lucy Gray got sent to The Hunger Games.

"Who's there?" Spruce asks,

"Guns, ammo. You can't make more of that, can you? Up north?" Mayfair says mocking them.
