Tris' POV
I feel complete for the first time in my life...
Like I've come home to a new part of myself I never knew existed.
I now realise that my life before Tobias was just a mere ghost of what it could have been...
All this time. Everything I did. Was leading me to him. To my Toby.

Soon after I..... remembered, we resumed our relationship as if nothing ever happened. We both agreed that it was better not to dwell on the past. Now we are a healthy happy couple and I'm-
My phone buzzes, making me jump off my bed.
( Tobias- bold, Tris- italics)

Hey babe. What's going on??

The girls are coming over for a sleepover :)

Can I pop in for a visit?

Girls only Toby!

I promise I'll knock first ;)

No!!

Ok then. :*(

See you tomorrow cry baby

See you tomorrow

Tobias signed off
Tris signed off

So now..... back to business.

The girls called an emergency sleepover at my place to discuss everything that happened and how to resume our attacks with the hawk running wild. (We decided that the truce with Four was just giving him time to recover from our previous attacks so we left him a note through one of his employees). Personally I think that we should just ignore the hawk and continue as if nothing happened, but then again I have been out of it for a while. That's why Christina called the sleepover. So that they can tell me everything that happened while I was..... out of it.

A knock on the door raises me to my feet and I  jog down the stairs.

Of course Christina arrives on the very minute we agreed to meet!

I can't help but grin at how strange she is, as I open the door. The girls are all standing on the porch with mountains of fuzzy cushions, blankets, DVDs, ice cream and makeup.

"What the hell?!?" I yell at them.

Christina smirks at me devilishly,"we have an exciting night ahead of us", she says before dragging the girls through the door.

"I thought this was just a chance to talk. Not have a full out sleepover!" I yell louder now that we're inside.

This time Marlene speaks,"yeah, but we just got a one time opportunity to take down Four's backstreet racing arena!!".

"Shh! My brother is upstairs sleeping!" I hiss quietly.

"Ok, but this is really impor- WAIT WHAT?!?!" Christina shrieks in my ear.

A few seconds later I hear Caleb trod lazily down the stairs.

Damn it Christina!

The girls stare at Caleb like they have seen a ghost. Maybe they have. I still haven't asked Caleb about.... any of it. I can tell that Caleb is starting to feel uncomfortable at their staring so I give them a sharp budge. Snapping out of it, they instead direct their confusion at me... wonderful!

I'm immediately bombarded with millions of questions.

"What the hell?!?!...should have told us... are we in a zombie movie now?!?!... have you been hiding him all along?!?!" Different people shriek from around the room. Somewhere in the midst of the chaos Caleb had walked back upstairs as he was no longer there.

"Look... I don't know how he's alive. He hasn't said anything to me." I mutter just loud enough for them to hear.

"But if he's still alive then why are we attacking Four?" Shauna whispers.

I shake my head," I don't know...". There's a brief silence when no one knows what to say, but then Christina- of course- is the one to speak.

"I do," Christina says," because he's a dickhead who deserves it!". I can't help but laugh under my breath before Christina continues,"but still, this is dangerous work and we all know that we won't be able to take down his whole empire without one of us... going down. So how about we make one last appearance at his back street racing arena?".

We look at each other sharing some thoughtful nods. Christina continues,"we take it down tonight, and we've made our mark. Then we can go back to our normal lives without leaving a trace. It will be as if Six and her band of 'hooligans' were nothing but ghosts in the night...".

I smirk at Christina then nod.

"Let's do it!" I shout, not caring if I wake Caleb. The girls shriek in excitement and unwrap the blankets and open the pillows and makeup to reveal their costumes, weapons and masks.

"Well that was unexpected. What about the ice cream and movies?" I ask wondering if Christina had snuck some sort of bomb into my house.

"They're for our after party celebration" she replies shrugging. I grin then we hurry to get changed.

This is going to be our final stand against Four.

Four's POV
Tonight is a big night.
Investors are coming to watch my best racers in a race lasting around 15 minutes.
I'm extremely anxious. Not about Six- I think she gave up- about the hawk. He has been waiting for an opportunity like this...
But I have helicopters on standby, security around every corner, nothing will get past me.... I'm pretty sure.

I spot the first couple of racers make their way onto the track and I sit forward in my seat.

This is going to be exciting.

Unknown POV
Tonight is the night.
I will finally take down Four's empire. I laugh. I'm also aware that Six is going to make an appearance as well. But I have something very interesting planned for her. I laugh again. Four will regret the day he messed with the hawk!

Cliffhanger 😉
