It's been far too long since I've updated, I'm so sorry. I'll be updating a few chapters this week.

Four and I enter Myra's office. She's sitting behind her wooden desk with a phone pressed to her ear. She scribbles something down on paper then folds her finger up to motion for us to wait a minute.

Within a few minutes she hangs up the phone and smiles at us.

"Great to see you guys, please take a seat." She says. I nervously bite my lip and take one of the seats in front of her. Four sits next to me and I grip on to his hand.

"What can I help you with?" She asks and leans on her desk.

"We think Jeanine is the one behind Andrew and Natalie Prior's deaths." Four spills.

"I'm sorry?" Myra laughs out with furrowed eyebrows.

"We did some research. Susan Black picked Matthews voice out from a series of voices. She said it was one of the guys that held her captive. Jeanine had the power to disappear from the murder scene-"
"Why would she want to kill two of the best agents?" Myra interrupts with raised eyebrows.

"Maybe she wanted revenge. I don't know, but we're giving you this information because we really think this is a lead." Four says.

"Tris? Why haven't you said anything?" She asks and looks towards me.

"We have a reason to think that David and Jeanine killed my parents. Susan said it herself, Matthew is the guy that kidnapped her. I think we need to dig deeper. Figure out their motives." I reply with a small shrug.

"Okay... I'll see what I can do. This is big. If you guys are right about this... we'll be taking down a whole unit of FBI agents. It won't be easy, so get some rest. Well come up with a game plan tomorrow morning." She replies and we stand up.

"Thank you." I whisper.

"No problem... Both of you take the day off. You deserve it." She replies and with that being said, we leave the office.

"I think that went pretty well." I state with a smile.

"It went great." Four admits and leads us back to our apartment. He locks the door behind us and we drop out his couch.

"What do you want to do? Apparently we have the day off." I say with a smile. His arms wrap around me and he drags me so we're laying down.

"First, let's take a nap. Im exhausted and I know you are too." He murmurs against my ear. A smile forms on my face and he nuzzles his face into my neck.

"Okay." I agree with a nod.
"And then... Maybe date night?" He asks.
"Sounds good. We need a day to just ourselves." I sigh and let my eyes droop shut.
"Night princess." he murmurs and then everything goes black.

I jolt out of my nightmare and a series of ragged breaths leave my mouth. I sit up and slowly try to shrug fours arm off of me. In his deep slumber he pulls me closer to him. A sob escapes my mouth and I wiggle out of his arms.

"Tris?" Four sleepily asks.

"What's wrong? What happened?" He asks and quickly sits up once he sees my tears. I pull my Knees under my chin and cry out.

"Baby girl, I'm right here. What's wrong?" He asks and pulls me into a warm hug.

"The nightmares are coming back." I desperately sob.
"Shh, calm down. It's okay." He soothes and presses his lips to my forehead.

"I-i-i remember everything. Coming home from school, and my dad was dead. In the kitchen he-"
"Baby, listen to me. We're going to find the people that did this. It's going to be okay. You're having a panic attack I need you to breathe." He begs. My lungs start to feel heavy and I try to heave a breath in.

"Baby, breathe. Take a deep breathe." He chants in my ear. I try to fight out of his arms back he holds me tighter. My eyes start to feel heavy and I gasp.

"Shh." He soothes and my lungs finally work. My ragged breaths his his chest and he holds on to me.

"Talk to me, princess. Are you okay?" He worriedly asks.

"I'm fine." I gasp and move my forehead so it's resting on his shoulder. He rubs my back and sighs in relief.

"Thank god." He murmurs.
"How'd you know to hold me like that?" I hoarsely whisper.

"When I was younger I had panic attacks. I was told that when the person having a panic attack was held, they would snappier of it... After a little bit of fighting." He chuckles and kisses my cheek.

"Thank you." I murmur.
"That's what I'm here for." He teases. I sigh and my breathing levels out.

"Let's do something. I don't think I can go back to sleep." I state and try to get up.

"Are you sure you're up for that? We can just hang out here, watch a movie." He offers unsurely.

"Yea, i'm sure. We might not get an opportunity like this for a while." I reply and he finally lets go of my waist.

"What about the Ferris wheel? Want to go there? The sun should be setting in a bit." He states as he gets up.

"Sounds good. I love sunsets i agree and he chuckles as he kisses my nose.

"I'll go get the picnic basket." He says and starts to walk away.

"Okay I have to go get dressed." I state and start to follow him out the door. He turns around with furrowed eyebrows and I frown in confusion.

"You do realize we live together now... You're clothes are here." He teases. A blush rises to my cheeks and I then back around.

"That never happened." I squeak and rush towards the closet. His chuckles echo as he walks down the hallway and I press my hands to my warm cheeks. I'm such an idiot.
