Katniss had concluded that the arena was a clock. But she seemed hellbent on explaining her theory to them from the Cornucopia, which made no sense. They had no idea if the Careers were going to be there. Cash and Gloss wouldn't be a problem to anyone who knew that they were on their side.

Before they could leave Beetee was trying to find something, "Oh I know what you want." Johanna said and Beetee's face lit up when Johanna picked up the coil with a devilish grin on her face.

"Not much of a weapon there, Volts." Bex said as she was re-lacing her shoes, "I mean you could hang someone from it I guess."

Johanna just chuckled, "Can you imagine Volts hanging someone, really?"

"He won his games with wire. Electrical traps, it's the best weapon he could have." 

Johanna and Bex looked at each other. They should have realised Katniss and Peeta would have watched all the previous games to better get to know their opponents.

"Wouldn't you have known that?" Katniss asked full of suspicion, "You call him Volts, no?" 

Johanan nodded, "I'm sorry I didn't know what they've been planning whilst I've been keeping them alive, whilst you've been doing what?...oh yeah, getting Mags killed."

"Mason," Woof warned her, and she did back down slightly.

Bex stood up seeing Katniss holding her knife tighter, they needed to get the conversation off the coil as quickly as possible, "Go on. Try it. Touch her and I don't care if you're pregnant, which by the way I think is a whole load of bullcrap. I will tear your throat out. Jo?"

"Yes dear?"

"Wanna join?"

Johanna smiled as she picked up her axe, "Try and stop me."

Gripping Finnick's hand he was very carefully helping her across the rock line towards the middle of the arena, "Finn." 

Finnick glanced back for a moment as he answered, "Hm?"

"Got any of the bread I saw with Volts?"

She didn't care about the bread. She just needed to know if Finnick knew anything that she didn't about the details of what was going on.
