Divergent

Chapter 31

We get to the address and four looks over at me. His eyebrows are furrowed in utter confusion. The place our Gps took us to is an abandoned warehouse. It looks similar to where we found Robert and his parents. But it's not in the same town as before.

"This looks sketchy." Four mumbles under his breath.
"Should we call for backup?" I ask.

"No, let's check it out first." he replies and gets out of the car. I follow behind him and tug my gun out.

"Stay behind me." he adds and starts jogging towards a window. I closely follow behind him. My eyes scan our surroundings and I mentally wrote down where we parked, just down the dirt road.

The windows are extremely tall and there's nothing to stand on to see inside. Four silently picks me up and sets me on his shoulders. I hold in a yelp and he helps me stand up. My eyes settle on Susan. She's tied to a chair, and handcuffs are around her hands. Her eye is bruised pretty badly.

But that's not the thing that scares me.

The thing that scares me is the guy staring straight at me. He has a scar above his eyebrow and a smirk on his face.

"Four," I hoarsely whisper.
"What do you see?" He quietly asks.

"They see me." I blurt out and he immediately sets me down.

"Shit, is Susan in there?" He asks and pulls me against the nearest wall.

"Yea, she's tied up." I reply.
"Go to the car and call for backup." he orders.

"I'm not leaving you." I protest.
"I won't go in with out you. Go." he urges and I take off running in the direction of the car. I get there and fumble with the radio.

"Send back up to 239 oak wood road. The old warehouse has hostages inside. They have to do with case number 18635. I repeat, send backup to 239 oak wood road. There's hostages involved." I say into the speaker. Before there's a reply I take off running back to the building.

Four is no longer outside.

Gunshots sound off and I curse under my breath. Without thinking about it, I fling the warehouse door open and rush into action. Gunshots whizz by my head and I get yanked behind a wall.

"You said you wouldn't come in without me!" Exclaim at four.

"Noes not really the time to fight." he grumbles and puts his body over mine. He sends bullets flying towards whoever is shooting at us and I immediately crawl to the other side of the column. I start doing the same and he cusses.

"What?" I call and continue shooting, successfully taking down some of the gunman.

"It's nothing." he calls back.
__________
The gunshots quiet down and four pulls m back to his side. We look at each other for a few minutes, and then my eyes travel to his arm.

"You were shot?!" I shriek and he places his hand over my mouth.

"Shh, there might be more of them." he hushes. I stiffen and peak out from our hiding spot.

"Why hasn't backup come yet?" I ask.

"I don't know. But I can bet it has something to do with whoever is behind this... Stay alert and close to me." he murmurs and goes out of cover. I quickly follow behind him and start pushed the guns away from people. They all have black ski masks on. A scream shrills through the air and I take off running towards a door.

I immediately throw it open and aim my gun. Susan is sitting in the same chair. The guy with the slash across his forehead is holding a gun to her temple. My head starts pounding and I catch my breath.

"Put the gun down." I angrily order.
"Beatrice Prior in the flesh." The guy smirks.
"I said, put the gun down." I angrily repeat.

"And I said, Beatrice Prior in the flesh." he mocks. My anger flares and I click the safety off of my gun.He follows my actions and Susan stifles a sob.

"Let her go. She has nothing to do with this. You want me, am I right?" I ask. Four catches my attention from behind the guy, he's slowly entering the door behind the guy.

"No, what I want is to ruin you and the Prior name." the guy smirks. Four slams his fist into the guys arm and he drops the gun. Four sweeps it out of the way with his foot then yanks the guy to the ground. I immediately rush towards Susan and take the gag off of her mouth.

"Are you okay?!" I worriedly ask as I cut the ropes off of her hands. I take the handcuffs off and she stares at me with wonder in her eyes. Sirens wail from outside and I sigh.

"It's about time." I say and four hoists the guy off the floor. His hands are now shackled together with hand cuffs. He winces slightly and worry clouds my mind.

"We should get outside." I state and help Susan stand up. Her legs wobble and four reaches his hand out to steady her.

"Yea, lets go." he agrees and begins dragging the guy behind him.

"T-Tris? Where's Robert? Is he okay?" Susan stutters out.

"He's okay. He's been looking for you. We've been worried." I reply and follow after four and scar face.

"T-that man said that he k-killed my parents. Is it t-true?" She stutters with tears brimming her eyes.

"I'm sorry Susan. Your parents were murdered." I whisper and she breaks down. We get outside and an ambulance is parked next to us. Susan gets ushered inside and I go to four, who is talking to Zeke.

"You called for back up?" Zeke asks me.
"Yea, they took way too long." I state.

"We didn't get alerted. Ten only reason we're here is because Will had a feeling. He tracked your phone and called each of you multiple times. He tracked your phones and we came to check it out. You guys were taking too long." he states. My eyebrows fire with confusion and I look at four.

"I called for backup. I swear... Why didn't anyone get alerted." I ask. He stays silent and he looks towards his car.

"Everyone get down!" He roars to everyone. A series of swears escape his mouth and he yanks me to the ground. An explosion rings through the air and he presses me to the ground. Screams erupt around us and my ears ache from the noise. We stay down for a few minutes and I worriedly look at four.

"Four?" I whisper in panic.
"I'm okay." he reassures and helps me off the ground. A look forms in his eyes and i know he's lying. I catch him right before he falls to the ground.

"Four!" I scream in panic. His eyes roll back so they're all white and Uriah rushed to help me hold him up.

"Shit." he cusses. Paramedics surround us and help him on to a stretcher.

"Four! Four!" I scream and shake his shoulders.

"Ma'am, we're going to have to ask you to move away so we can do our job." a paramedic says. Uriah immediately lifts me off the ground and sets me away from the stretcher. I fight against his arms, but he jus holds me tighter. They start to load four into the ambulance and a son escapes my mouth.

"Tris, calm down. He's going to be okay. You just need to calm down, I'll drive you to the hospital." Uriah says and rubs my back. My sobs slow down and I look at him.

"Let's go." I whisper and he leads me to his car. He backs out of the parking lot and my eyes scan everybody.

There's not many people that were injured. But the ones that were look as if they were beaten up. There faces and bodies are scattered with scratches and bruises.

The thing that hurts me the most, is that four is one of them because he saved me.
