I jumped on the train first, which means I had to open the doors too. Everybody eventually got on and Eric stood on the other side of the carriage. Four stood at the open door and looked out. Something must have caught his eye because he was staring at something. After a minute, he leaned down and lifted something off the ground. I saw Tris standing there with a grateful smile on her face. I smiled at her and she smiled back.

"Hi." Christina said as she saw her friends.

"Hey I figured I just had to be here." Tris said but was cut off.

"Who let you out?" Eric asked and she looked slightly scared.

"I did." She said quietly.

"You did?" He said amusedly and she just stood there.

"Okay." He said before walking away again.

.

"The game is simple, it's like capture the flag." Four said as he dropped the bags on the ground.

Eric leaned down and picked out a gun from the bag.

"Weapon of choice!" He shouted and held one up. I heard Molly snicker to Peter.

"Call that a gun." She said. Eric put his arm down and fired it at her leg. She fell to the ground in pain, gripping her leg. It was kind of funny actually. Eric walked to her and pulled the dart out and held it up.

"Neuro stim dart. Stimulates the pain of a real gunshot wound, only lasts a couple of minutes." He said and threw it on the floor. I honestly had no idea who would pick me to be in their team but I hoped it was Four, simply because I didn't want to be with Eric after earlier.

"Two teams, Four and I are captains." He said and smirked.

"You pick first." Four said and Eric had a smug look on his face.

"Okay. Edward." He said and I smiled.

"I'll take Bray." Four said and Eric glared at him. I smiled to myself.

"Aw Four you picked me first last time too." I said and he chuckled.

"Peter." Eric said.

"I'll take the stiff." Four said looking at Tris.

"Oh, picking the weak ones so you have someone to blame when you lose." Eric said and I stayed silent, but inside I felt hurt.

"Something like that." Four smiled but I knew there was something else behind his and Tris' relationship. They both ran through names until there was even teams.

"We'll jump first." Eric said and Four just nodded. Eric's team walked to the edge and jumped off single file.

"Wait a few minutes then we will jump." Four said and everyone nodded.

"Time to jump guys!" I shouted and walked to the edge. I jumped first with Four following behind then everyone else after that.

"Why did you pick me first?" I asked Four as we walked.

"I figured you would have wanted to be away from Eric obviously." He said and I nodded.

"Yes I do." I said and he chuckled.

"Alright lights off. Gather around c'mon." Four said as we stopped walking.

"Okay what's your strategy." Four said and everyone began talking at the same time.

"Hide the flag well enough so they can't find it." Al suggested.

"We send out a team to scout their location and find their flag." Will said and I nodded at that.
