Marcus's schemes are revealed in this shocking chapter. I do not own any of the characters in the Divergent Series.

CHAPTER EIGHT

TOBIAS POV

I wake up in my new bedroom, still worn out from the events of last night. Zeke’s death was so unexpected. I stray from my bedroom and leave the house. I walk towards Millenium Park and Erudite Headquarters to thank Caleb for his help and for just being a good friend, even if I haven’t been the kindest to him. Who would have thought that I would become anything close to friends with the man that Tris died for?

In the distance, I can see the front steps of the house. The closer I get, the stranger it appears. The door is wide open and there are muddy tracks on the steps up to the house. I walk through the open door.

It looks as if someone was looking for something, every drawer on Caleb’s desk is overturned and papers are thrown everywhere. Lying unconscious in the middle of the floor is Caleb.

I reach down and pull Caleb up so that he is sitting. A few feet away, I see a white cloth. I grab the cloth and smell. It has a strong smell, and it makes me want to sleep whenever I take a whiff. I throw it to the side and focus on the wreckage around me. I look through all of the papers, searching for clues as to who it was who did this. I realize that after about an hour of looking, there is only one thing that is missing: the diagram for the simulation serum.

Whoever did this wants to recreate that simulation serum. But this time, it’s going to focus on a lot more than just Abnegation.
