Divergent high

Chapter 38

I have nothing intersecting to say except for the fact that I actually have time to update yay! Ok here we go.

TRIS POV

I sit back down by Tobias who is now sitting straight up, staring at the door.  I think about the events this morning and start to cry, sob really. Tobias is immediately lifting me onto his lap and hugging me to his chest.

"Shhh what's wrong," he asks sweeping hair out of my face.

"I- I almost went," I choke out.

"Hey, it's ok, you didn't and you're here, safe with me, okay?"

"Okay." (Hehe see what I did there?) I say sniffling and curling up closer to him. He presses his lips to my forehead and we stay like that for a long time.

FOUR POV (Surprise!)

I try to stay calm for her but my mind is a see if thoughts. Every single wave is a new danger. I have to admit, I'm scared. Marcus... Marcus is powerful. God knows what could happen with him out.

But is he?

I turn to Tris, "Hey last ni-" I stop myself when I see that she is asleep. I'll ask her when she wakes up. I slowly sit up and carry her to the upstairs bedroom where I lay her down and then move onto the couch where my laptop was. I search up the Chicago police departments website and see nothing regarding about Marcus. Then I click a link that goes to the prisons website. My heart sinks when I see something about an escaped inmate but then I look closer and realize it's not Marcus and that they have already found the inmate. Then I think harder. Tris got these notes about 4 hours ago. They would have noticed if he was gone by then, unless... unless some idiot didn't make his rounds but still.

Amar.

I hadn't talked to him in a long time but he might be the only person I can get a good answer from.

"Hello?" I hear a voice say, Amar's.

"Hey! It's four." I say.

"Hey, man! I haven't heard from you in forever!" He says happily.

"Yea... yea I know."

"Everything okay? You know with Marcus and all that." He says, now sounding like the concerned older brother that I always saw him as. He knew about Marcus.

"Actually I wanted to talk to you about Marcus." I say hesitantly.

"Yea?"

"Yea. Do you still work with the police force?" I ask.

"Yes... Why? Wait did you finally get that drunk arrested?" He says hopefully.

"No. But my girlfriend did," I say.

"Smart girl." He says sounding impressed.

"Yea," I say, "look, Marcus is at the erudite prison cells. This morning my girlfriend got notes... we think they are from him. We don't know how though," I say.

"Can I talk to her?" He says sounding concerned.

"Um sure," I say waking over to the bed. "Tris, wake up..."

"Yea?" She says groggily.

"I've got someone her to talk to you," I say softly. She sits up and takes the phone from me. As she talks to Amar I see her mind working to put the pieces together of what he is saying. Until it finally comes together and I single tear rolls down her cheek.

TRIS POV

"Yesterday he got a visitor." Anar says.

"Yea, go on" I say.

"I would have to go in to see exactly who because I don't have the visiting records but I do remember what he looked like. Perhaps it's someone you would know."

"Ok, go for it." I say nervously.

"Well he looked pretty young, around 18 maybe 19. Um he was pretty tall and slim. He had a head full of curly brown hair-" he started to say something else but I cut him off.

"What color were his eyes," I say on the verge of crying again.

"Green." Amar answers immediately.

I look straight as Tobias as a single tear runs down my cheek and he is immediately there to comfort me.

"Caleb."
