Chapter 84

"What the hell?" Tobias says loudly, pulling me out of my daydream.

"What is wrong?" I ask alerted.

"Read this," he says pointing with his finger to the phrase he just read.

"I kept my distance from Edward and Drake for as long as I could, but unfortunately we live in a small place and bumping into each other isn't really avoidable. Thankfully, I managed to hide behind a large crate without him or Drake seeing me. But there was another man I've only seen once before. The man is from Abnegation and he was there the day of my Choosing Ceremony and called out my name."

"Marcus," I say and Tobias nods with an angry expression on his face.

"They talked for a while but I could only hear bits and pieces. I don't know how much this will help, but maybe you can make more out of it. Drake told the Abnegation man that he better pay and the man nodded. I don't know what Drake was paid for and what the payment was, but the Abnegation man handed Drake a large suitcase. Drake took it and disappeared. I stayed behind because Edward and the Abnegation man didn't seem to move. The Abnegation man asked Edward to call him when it's done. He then walked away. I chose to follow Edward to see what he's up to, but I lost him. I don't know how. There are no doors where he went through. I even thought maybe he turned a corner and I didn't see him, but he just vanished."

"What do you think this means?" I ask Tobias.

"I don't know. But if Marcus went to the factionless sector to meet with these two low-lives it can't be good. We need to notify my mother. She needs to start the search for Edward and Drake," Tobias says looking over the last entry again.

"Tobias, she is already looking for Edward," I say frustrated.

"Yeah, but until now we just assumed someone tried to kill him. What if someone tried to avenge Myra or that other man? While I'm not completely against that person finding him and killing him, I would like him to be punished for what he did to that girl."

"Me too." I look at the clock on the wall and see it's nearly seven a.m. It's still a bit early. "I'll call Evelyn after breakfast," I say.

"Alright. I'm going to go over there later to talk to her in person. I want her to know everything, but I want to tell her in person," he says and gets up. I watch him walk into the kitchen and wash up his mug.

We both eat breakfast in the apartment and then leave to get to the training room. Today the results after stage one of training will be announced and we'll soon start phase two. We'll give the initiates a day off and starting tomorrow we'll start with the fear landscapes. I wonder if my fear landscape changed.

While Tobias gathers all the initiates, Dauntless-born and transfers alike, I call my mother-in-law and tell her what's happening.

"Hi, Tris."

"Hello, Evelyn."

"What's wrong? You sound sad? Did something happen to the baby?" she asks concerned.

"No, baby's fine. I called you because yesterday Tobias and I were at Myra's funeral. Her father handed me a book. She wrote down everything she could find out about Edward's activities and more. Tobias will come later to you to tell you more. As of now Edward is a fugitive from the law. He and a friend of his, Drake, abused and beat up Myra and honestly the more I think about it I believe they might have something to do with her death."

"Oh my God. Are you sure?" Evelyn asks shocked.

"No. We need to find those two and bring them to justice. I'll go to Candor later to talk to Jack Kang and alert him. Maybe he can help."
