Quietly we are waved through the mansion, I try to make a solid plan in my head but it doesn't work. Will Boggs make us wait till night? Or go straight into the attack? I must talk to him, but how, we can't do it here. They'll hear us for sure, we'll have to whisper barely. Peeta's hand finds mine and I instantly reject it; if they discover who I am and that I actually love Peeta they make take him from me. I look to Peeta hoping he understands, but he doesn't and he scared that's why he did it. "Just hold on." I say in a hoarse voice he nods in return as we are taken into a small room.
"No cameras in here maam, just your guard up. Rebels could strike at any time." Leeg and Jackson nods as we set our stuff down. The peacekeeper leaves and I lock the door behind him. Once his steps are gone Peeta pulls me into a hug and we both breath into the other jackets.
"I love you." We remind each other. He kisses me quick and we all sit in a large circle with our gear behind us. I sit in between Gale and Peeta, I'm propped up against Peeta trying my best to subtly cuddle with him. We exchange a few glances then start.
"I think we should attack now, before they have time to ask questions. Beetee's invention is here and working and we have the perfect opportunity." Gale explains his theory with all the right points.
"I say we wait till midnight. Everyone will be sleeping and hopefully there won't be a lot of peacekeepers. Because of the refugees coming in the mansion, snow will be on the lookout for us."
"Because he expects us to do this." I say as everything clicks in my mind. "He knows what we'll do and he'll wait."
"Should we leave?" Peeta asks.
"We can't." Cressida shakes her head. "He won't let us once he knows we're here."
"I agree. Let's speak with quickly then get to work. We'll have to split up, so Gale, Peeta, Katniss, Cressida, and Jackson together and I'll go with everyone else."
Everyone agrees and I sit next to Peeta, his whole body twitches hard. He looks me in the eyes and I see he's about to cry. I pull him up into the corner of the room. "Hey, your okay. Your okay. I'm right here, your okay." He lets out a shakes breath into my shoulder. "We'll be fine." I reassure him, I wish I knew that though. He nods kisses me quick and we sit back down.
"Is anybody hungry?" Gale asks. "If so, eat up. This is our last stop before we head back to homestead."
I stand getting Peeta and I some food. I pick up random cans not looking at what they are.
We eat and soon, I become as scared as Peeta was earlier. Boggs throws our cans into a pile in the corner and makes his way back into the center of our large group circle. "Alright everybody. The time has come, but first we have a special message from President Coin."
We watch a hologram of her speak, about how this mission means the world to her. She said she would be entirely disappointed if we didn't return with Snow dead. She said she wouldn't let us return without him dead. I grit my teeth the entire time watching her, I wish she was never president.
"Well, anyways. Our plan is simple, make our way to president Snow's mansion. If anyone asks we know intel on where Katniss is in the Capitol. Then, we rush into his main office, then grab him. After that, we use the secret passageway under his office to get out of the mansion. We'll lock him in the abandoned house we were just in and call coin. Does anyone have any questions?"
"Who's going in to get Snow?" Peeta asks.
"I was thinking Katniss, Gale, and Myself." Boggs replies.
"And everyone else will be..."
"Guarding the door from the outside."
"Alright." We stand and everyone begins gathering their things. I walk to Gale and wrap my arms around him hugging him. I stand there for a few seconds before I feel all the rest of the squad hugging us too. The mass group hug over and we throw our hoods up and walk from the room. I walk somewhere in the middle. Suddenly I think a strange thought. How hasn't they seen the weapons on our backs or in our arms? Either way we push on nodding at the peacekeepers on the way.
