Chapter 97

A/N: This chapter has an interesting tie-in. Check it out.

I wonder what Edward did to take revenge on Tobias and me. I always suspected that he is behind the attack on Marcus. The masked person who shot Marcus is about Tobias's height and build and wore all black, trying to set us on a wrong course. When Jack said that Tobias is a suspect I thought that he must be joking, but after I thought about it and considered it plenty, whoever did it wanted both Marcus dead, but more importantly to frame Tobias for it. Edward surely hates Marcus for what he did to Evelyn, she told me this much. And now that I heard him say that he took revenge it's more than clear to me that it was him.

"What did you do?" Jack asks.

"A lot," he says with a grin.

"Let me rephrase, what did you do to hurt Tobias Eaton?" Jack asks a little more forceful. I can tell that he's getting angrier, even if he masks it. Tobias and Jack have become good friends over these past two years and he surely doesn't like where this is heading.

"I dressed up in black and shot Marcus Eaton," he says. I knew it. Tobias's grip on me tightens a little, but not to hurt me, while I hear Evelyn gasp and a few others start talking.

"Silence, please," Jack says loudly, turning around. "Was it your intention to only scare Marcus Eaton or kill him?" Jack asks turning back to face Edward.

"Kill him," he answers.

"And you wanted to frame his own son for it?"

"Yes."

"Why kill Marcus Eaton?" Jack asks.

"He deserves it. He beat Evelyn up and made her leave her home. She suffered because of that bastard and he deserved to die."

"What about her son, Tobias?"

"He deserved what was coming. He betrayed his mother for his whore and stopped our plan," Edward says glaring at Tobias. I'm rubbing Tobias's right hand to calm him down. Without saying anything I know he is out of his mind with rage.

"What did you do to Tris Eaton?" Jack asks. I'm curious about that too. I can't think of anything he could have done to me.

"I helped Mitchells kidnap that little bitch. I have no idea how such a small girl overpowered him." Mitchells? Romeo? He helped Romeo to kidnap me? I remember Dwayne saying after I was rescued and felt up to talking that he believes that there was a second person, but there was no physical evidence to support that. Only after I got kidnapped Tobias ordered that every corner of Dauntless should be surveilled.

"So, you are the reason why Dauntless leader Tris Eaton, nee Prior, was abducted and held hostage, possibly even killed?" Jack asks disgusted.

"Yes. I even told him to have some fun before he gets rid of the bitch. When he found out that she is Eaton's girlfriend he got even more excited. How the hell did you escape?" he asks looking me straight in the eyes.

"Please, refrain from addressing anyone except me," Jack says drawing Edward's attention back to him. "We have reason to believe that you and a friend of yours, Drake Albright, former Dauntless member, were involved in something else."

"Drake and I were best buddies. We shared everything," Edward says.

"So, you know he is dead," Jack says. There was never an official release of Drake Albright's death. If Edward didn't kill Drake than this is one hell of a coincidence.

"Of course, I do. I killed him," Edward confesses. Well, no surprise there.

"Why?" Jack asks.

"That son of a bitch got greedy and didn't respect me," Edward says.
