Bare Hands (Sequel To No Sympathy)

Bread

I nearly barge into Johanna's office when we get there.  The door slams back into the wall on its hinges, and I'm surprised that it doesn't detach from them.

"What did they do to her?!" I ask, setting Tris down in one of the chairs in Johanna's room. "What in God's name did you do?!"

"I..." Johanna glances over at Tris and notices her mood. "They must've given her too much. She's very small, they must've given her too large of a dose."

"Too large a dose of what?!"  I say, my voice raspy.

"You have a nice voice." Tris says happily from her chair.

"Tris, please be quiet." I say, and then turn back to Johanna, awaiting her response.

"Peace Serum. It's used mostly if people need a slight boost of happiness and conflict resolution."

"Of course people are going to eventually have a problem that involves a conflict - they're human. As happy as thus faction is I wouldn't be surprised if you dumped it in the water supply." I'm angry now.  This is crap that they do this to people. Sure, it's temporary, but it still pisses me off. Anger is a part of human nature. Without it, you very walked over.

"You know that's not true. But we may have methods in place to keep the peace, or else we'll end up like the rest of the factions." She's trying to reason with me.

"OK Johanna." I say.

"Why don't you answer something for me. Why did Tris attack Peter?"

"He took something from her and wouldn't give it back."

"Well I hope you know that you have violated our agreement, so I'm afraid we won't be able to let you stay here much longer."She sounds like she hates to kick us out but knows it has to be done.

"Fine. We'll be out in two days." I say, ready to pick Tris back up and leave the room.

"What about Peter?"

"You'll have to deal with him because he won't be coming with us." I pick Tris up and walk to the door.

Just before my hand can turn the knob Johanna says, "And Four..."  I turn around. "If you want to avoid the Peace Serum you might want to avoid the bread."

"Ill keep that in mind." I say leaving the room.
