Tobias POV

   "Get up." My eyes open to find Nita standing in front of my head with her arms crossed against her chest.
   "I said get up." I just continue to stare at her without saying anything; hoping this is all a dream. Her hands find the rope on the wall and she begins to untie it. I have two options: Punch her and run away. But I could be shot down in the process. Or, do what she says and possibly find Melanie.
   "Let's go stiff." I laugh and just look at her.
   "Name calling now?" A smirk appears on her face as she yanks me out of the truck.
   "Where the hell are we?" Around us stands a white building and numerous trees; nothing near the place we came from.
   "Just shut up." Her grasp on my bound arms becomes tighter as she leads me into the large white building. A man stands at the entrance, waiting to greet us. As we get closer I realize it's not just a man, it's Ben.
   "Well, well, well Mr. Eaton we meet again." A devilish smile appears on his face as he nods to Nita.
   "Great job Nita." She hands me over to one of the guards and winks at me. 
   "Take him to his room." He looks at me and I can tell that he had been in some fight due to the scar across his face.
   "I don't want any trouble from you, Mr. Eaton."
   "Where's my daughter, Ben." He crosses his arms and gestures for me to walk with him. I hesitate at first but his soldier pushes me forward with the tip of his gun.
   "Don't worry you'll find out soon." We continue walking until we meet the enterence of a room. I look at him and he points towards the room.
   "Go on."  I walk inside and turn around to find the door already shut.
   "Take a seat Mr. Eaton." My hand finds the railing of the chair as I sit down. After sitting for a few minutes the door clicks and opens to reveal a guard cradling a little girl in his arms. I stand up and rush to the man but the voice returns.
    "Sit down Mr. Eaton or Melanie will be harmed." Slowly, I step back and sit down on the chair.
    "Now, if you want to keep your daughter safe you have to deliver Tris Prior to me." Ben says as he walks out from behind the guard.
    "And how exactly will I do that?"
    "That's for you to decide. You have three days." Ben gestures for the guard to head out of the room. The guard obeys and walks out, still carrying what looks to be Melanie. Ben smiles and slams the door shut.
    "How the hell am I going to do this?"
