Chapter 41: Rehabilitation

*Zeke POV*

It has been two days since the New Rebels' attack.

I am always in communication with Shauna and my mom, Hana, who are still living in Chicago. I knew something was wrong that night when I couldn't get through to my girl to check on our plan, Operation FourTris. I had been anxious as the Bureau was already buzzing with concern over the ongoing attacks at Providence.

Once it was discovered that all communication with Chicago had been cut, and that it was possibly under attack – I felt my heart stand still.

Shauna and I had a plan. She was going to find Tris during her Dauntless visit and give her a package, describing it as a present that my girl was sending to me, that was for my eyes "only". We got a good laugh knowing the Stiff would never even think of taking a peek once that hint was dropped.

Little did Tris know that the contents of the package Shauna sent was actually a gift for her, to help with Operation FourTris.

It wasn't until the very early morning hours after the attack the night before that communication was restored. Hearing Shauna's voice and her reassurance that she and our families were safe was like no other feeling. I had already lost Uriah, I can't handle anymore death. I don't want to.

Imagine my surprise when Tris called me yesterday afternoon. She explained that Tobias was OK. I had been avoiding him since that disgusting display on TV and had no idea he had gone to Chicago. Tris also mentioned she needed my help with two packages. I knew one was from Shauna, which I was eager to get my hands on, and I didn't know what the second was.

Tris had asked me to meet her at the Leadership Medical Ward, in the waiting area of the ICU. When I arrived she explained that she was there because of Luke Clark being injured. I am sure she saw the confused look on my face, and she whispered that they had "made-up". Whatever that meant.

I just smiled, knowing that Operation FourTris would soon begin. I remember thinking that Tris should enjoy her last moments with Luke.

She handed me her backpack. One package was my love gift from Shauna and the second was a small cooler that needed to be refrigerated – Dauntless Cake! Tris promised when things settled with Luke, that she would have us over to share the cake. She also told me about the guard named John, and that we needed to save a piece for his widow. I gave her a big hug, I know she has been through a terrible time.

I sit in my apartment now, looking at the gift Shauna sent me. The key to my plan, a vial of the Fear Landscape Serum. I know that Mr. Four Fears is somewhere buried deep in there. And this little serum is just what I need to draw him out. My girl also sent me a surprise - a jump drive with a sexy video for my viewing pleasure. I love that girl so much.

My plan is simple. Four and I will be visiting the Leadership Medical Unit which has two very important requirements:

1. Nita does not work there or even have access. She is always stalking Tobias and inserting herself into his business. She uses the excuse of being on his Rehabilitation Team...I am not buying it! Nita is like a dog in heat. She is relentless.

2. Nurse Gabriela has agreed to help me set up a makeshift Fear Landscape Room and monitor, with the monitor I will be able to tell the program that is embedded in the simulation serum to move on to the next obstacle.

Tris had re-introduced Gabriela to our dinner table a couple of weeks ago, she seemed really nice. So when we ran into each other again we started talking about Tris and Four...and we have agreed to work together ever since. I have been planning to run Four through his Fear Landscape for a while, and just now the pieces are falling into place.
