We get back to dauntless and I shift the car into park. Shauna looks at me with a confused look, that's nothing new though, she's been asking questions the whole ride back. I slip my phone into my pocket and look over at her.

"Change seats with me." I order and we awkwardly shuffle around eachothers in the cramped suv.

"I'm going to talk to Myra. Stay here with the doors locked. If you see anyone coming your way, drive away as fast as you can. I'm also going to text you if things don't go as planned. If that happens, please, bring Caleb somewhere safe. You won't be in trouble for this, I promise." I state. Her yes meet mine and she nods.

"Okay." She agrees, I start to get out of the car and she catches my arm.

"Be careful." She orders.

"When aren't I careful?" I giggle and hop out. She rolls her eyes and I slam the door shut between us. I give my sleeping brother one more glance, then start walking towards the door to enter dauntless. I get in the elevator and look up at the camera that I know will monitors.

"Don't you dare tell four that I'm here." I say with narrowed eyes. I slam my hand on the third floor button and the elevator starts moving. When the doors open, I quickly get off and rush to Myra's office. Without knocking, I slam her door open, and loudly slam it shut.

"What is the difference between me and my brother? Why does no body understand that he's innocent?! And better yet, why the fuck did you give orders to torture him?" I angrily snap as I spin around to face her.

Of course, the one person I didn't want to see, is sitting right in front of me. Four. His eyes are filled with worry and I glare at him.

"Get out." I order.

"Tris-"
"I said! Get out!" I angrily scream. He flinches and stands up. He steps towards me and I step back.

"Four, let me talk to her." Myra offers from her desk.

"Tris, I'm sorry. I'm only trying to keep you safe." Four murmurs.

"No you are not. Get out. Before I leave again." I quietly threaten. He sighs and steps towards the door. Instead of leaving, he leans against it, blocking my only way out.

"Myra, explain it to her, or I will. She's going to figure it out sooner or later." He says with an angry look in his eyes. I turn to Myra and she points to the chair in front of her.

"Sit." She orders.
"I'd rather not." I reply with a fake smile. She sighs and stands up. She leans against her desk and I cross my arms over my chest.

"Someone better start talking." I state.

"We have traitors among us, right here in dauntless. So this needs to stay between us three." Myra starts off.

"Yea, I would figure that. What does all of this have to do with my brother?" I snap.

"Your brother found out that your parents were agents, way before their death. He kept it quiet, and I realized that I could use him to figure out who was after your parents. We had a plan, but it went astray, your parents weren't suppose to be murdered that night. Caleb just barely escaped the attack, and he found me. We had a back up plan just in case. He's been undercover, working for David, for the last few months." Myra rants. Anger courses through my veins and my hands shake.

My brother has been working with Myra this whole time? My eyes flicker to four, he doesn't look surprised. He knew the whole time.

"That does not explain why my brother was beat up by two of your agents." I angrily state.

"Tris, we knew you'd go get him. Uriah left the address where it was for a reason. Shauna is a very trustworthy agent, I knew she would do what she felt was right in her heart. We needed everything to seem real, so David isn't suspicious." Myra smiles, this is not time for smiles. This is time for me to bash someone's face in. This is time for someone to pop out and tell me this is all a prank.

"So let me get this straight. You've been using me this whole time." I lowly whisper.

"It had to be done." She replies. My eyes flicker to Four's and I clench my jaw.

"And let me guess.... You got whatever you were looking for." I state.

"We were trying to eliminate a very bad person Tris. Your brother has provided us with the information we need, we know where David and his crew and camping out." She replies with a proud smile. I put on a fake smile and grab my phone. I send a quick text to Shauna, telling her to be ready. Then I look back up at Myra.

"I'm so happy for you. You got what you wanted. Now, I can leave here and go start my life. I can put all of you people behind me, and I can live in peace knowing that David is dead. So thank you, for all the lies and the fake memories. I really appreciate it." I sarcastically whisper. My eyes are close to overflowing with tears, but I'm not going to cry in front of these people. These fake people.

I turn towards the door and blankly stare at Four's shocked face.

"You're going to let me walk out of that door." I whisper.

"Tris, I can explain-"
"I don't want your explanations. I don't want your lies. And I don't want you. Let me go. You people have hurt me enough." I angrily spat. Hurt flows out across his face and I have to look away. He hurt me first. He knew about everything and he didn't tell me. I'm allowed to hurt him too.

But why do I feel so bad?

"Let me just explain Tris. I see the wheels working in your head. You're putting pieces together, but you're not right. I can explain." He murmurs.

"You have exactly two minutes. Then you're going to move away from the door and let me go." I state through clenched teeth.

"I only need two minutes." He says in a promising tone.

"Then you'd better get started. Time is ticking."
