Divergent

Chapter 51

The car smoothly drives across the highway, it's been about two hours since Shauna and I left dauntless to find my brother. We've both gotten numerous calls, but turned our phones off so we couldn't be tracked. She's actually not that bad of s driving companion. We like mostly all of the same music, which is a plus.

I pull into the gas station and grab my credit card.

"I'm starving, I'm gonna go grab a snack. Want anything?" She asks and starts to get out of the car.

"Cheetos and a Coke please. I'll put the gas in the car." I reply.

"Okay." She replies and hops out of the passenger side. I get out of the drivers seat and quickly start to fill the cars tank up. Four is probably already on our tail. I wouldn't doubt if he's going to meet us at our destination.

I feel slightly bad for leaving the way I did. But what can I say, I was beyond pissed. He lied to me, he told me that Caleb was safe.

A sigh leaves my mouth and I put the gas hose back where it belongs. I swipe my card, then take the receipt and get back in the car. Shauna is already in the passenger seat, with three bags of junk food sitting at her feet.

"We have another hour of driving. Why do we need all of this?" I ask and grab my Cheetos. I open the bag and quickly stuff some in my mouth.

"Because, we don't know how long we're going to be there. Plus, I just got the address. Uriah was stupid enough to leave it scribbled on a notepad and sitting in my dining room. I told you already, we don't know where we're driving." She states and taps the gps on the cars dashboard. I roll my eyes and take off once again.

Another hour goes by, we start getting closer to our destination, only a mile or two more and we'll be finding my brother. Excitement bubbles in my stomach and I nudge Shauna to wake up. She jolts awake and looks around in panic. 

"We're gonna be there any minute now." I inform her. 

"Oh, ok." She sighs and leans back in her seat. She tugs a gun out of her jacket and i raise my eyebrows.

"I always come prepared!" She exaggerates. I roll my eyes and pull up to a small building. I technically can't even call it a building, it's more of a hut. I park the car and Shauna gives me a doubtful look. We silently exit the vehicle and I make my way towards the hut. Standing outside of the door is a very tall, very scary looking guard. He immediately takes a defensive stance and i grab my badge.

"Uriah and Zeke sent us." I lie. His eyes scan the badge and he rests his hand on his walkie talkie.

"Let me call them first-"
"They're taking care of something. You shouldn't bother them." Shauna interrupts. The guards eyes narrow in concentration, like he'es trying to see if we're lying. 

"Make it quick." He states and Shauna drags me into the small hut. A gasp leaves my mouth and i rush towards he opposite wall. Caleb is handcuffed to a metal chair. His feet are tied down and there's a huge bloody gash across his eyebrow. His right eye is swollen shut and theres blood on the corner of his mouth.

"Caleb? Caleb are you okay?" I rush out and kneel besides him. His head lolls to the side and he looks up at me with confusion in his eyes.

"Tris? What are you doing here? You have to go." He weakly orders.

"I'm not leaving you! I'm here to break you out." I explain and unhook his cuffs.

"You shouldn't be here. You need to leave, without me." He repeats.

"Caleb! Stop, i will not leave without you!" I exclaim in protest. A look of defeat forms on his face and i cut the rope off of his feet.

"They're right.... I did it, I killed mom and dad." He quietly states. My hands freeze and i stare at him in shock. My heart clenches and my eyes start to fill with tears.

"What?" I hoarsely ask.

"I didn't know though. Tris no matter what they say, I didn't know David was after mom and dad. I thought he was after the traitors in the FBI." He cries out. 

"Caleb, we have to get you out of here. We can talk about this after." I whisper and continue untying his legs. Shauna stares at me for a few seconds, then shakes her head.

"Tris, he just admitted-"
"Shauna please. I know what he just said. But he's my only family, the only person i'm related to by blood, that's left in my life. I know what he said, but he also said that he thought he was going after traitors in the FBI. Just help me get him out of here." I softly beg. A look of conflict forms on her face and she rests her hand on her stomach.

"Fine, but i can't get hurt in the process. I'll help him into the car while you deal with the guard." She replies. I stare at her stomach and a smile forms on my face. 

"You're pregnant?" I ask.
"Yes." She replies and helps me stand Caleb up.
"That certainly explains all the junk food." I smirk. She glares at me and Caleb winces in pain as he stands up.

"Just go knock the guard out." She growls. A giggle leaves my mouth and I hop out of the room. I push the door open and go outside where the guard is. 

"Where's your friend?" He suspiciously asks. 

"She's-" Before i finish my sentence i slam my knee into his stomach, then slam my gun into the back  of his head. He hits the ground with a loud thump, and i quickly lean him against the building.

"Sorry," I wince at his unconscious body. Shauna opens the door with a loud huff and i rush to help her carry my brother.

"He needs a diet." She grumbles and opens the backdoor to our car. We lay him out in the backseat, then get in the car and take off. 

"Do you think he needs a doctor?" I ask.

"Na, he should be fine. You just need to clean that gash on his head before it gets infected." She nonchalantly shrugs and starts munching on a bag of Doritos. 

"I'm guessing that Zeke doesn't know about your... situation?" I cautiously ask. A blush forms on her face and she turns the music up louder. I slam my hand on the volumes button to shut he music off and she pouts.

"C'mon, spill the beans. Did you tell him? Am i the first to know? How far along are you?" I toss questions at her.

"I have yet to tell him. You are the first to know. And i'm about a month in." She sighs out. A smile forms on my face and i hop in my seat.

"Ahh, this is so cute." I squeal. She rolls her eyes for about the hundredth time and looks back at a now asleep Caleb.

"What we should be focusing on, is where we're gonna bring him?" She asks.

"That's an easy answer. I'm bringing him to Myra." I reply. Shauna raises her eyes in questioning and i smirk.

"I have a deal to make."
