"How'd you do it?"

Eric was looking out, seeing the city fly by from inside the train. Morgan was sitting in the floor of the wagon, legs dangling down the side.

"How did I do what?" She asked. Eric looked down at her and crossed his arms at his chest.

"How did you kill Christine?"

Morgan gave him a little shrugg.

"I didn't kill anyone. She OD, it's on the report"

Eric moved to sit down next to her, placing a hand behind her, on the floor of the wagon.

"Fine, how did you have her OD"

Morgan gave him a little eye roll and sighed, pulling her feet in and placing her heels on the floor of the wagon, caging her legs with her arms.

"I didn't strap her to a chair and forced pills down her throat if that's what you're thinking. I made a plan and it worked"

"Tell me about it"

Morgan chuckled and shook her head at him.

"Why are you so morbidly interested on how I killed your mother?" She joked.

Eric placed his hand on her waist and pulled her in closer, taking her legs and laying them on top of his. Morgan laid back on the door of the cart and gave him a little smirk.

"Okay fine, since you're so interested to know the extent of my malicious intelect, sure. I looked for a candidate to take over Erudite first, going through years and years of records. Aptitude test records and final faction pick. I found a girl, Myra, who is extremely smart, but she wanted to be dauntless. Her aptitude test came out dauntless too. But apparently she was pressured to stay in Erudite, quoting that her "IQ would be wasted in a faction of caveman like ours". So she staid in Erudite"

That was the first step, slowly working her up until I could propose her to take over Erudite as the new leader, that way she could help and be as much of a dauntless member as she could, given that she can't actually be in dauntless. She did the rest"

"What was all that rest?"

"She slowly built a relationship with all the other leaders, getting closer to Christine was the primary goal. Whatever she did eventually worked out, and Christine was quoted numerous times that Myra was her right hand, her second in comand. That made thing easier, if anything happened to Christine obviously everyone would turn to choose her second in comand as her successor."

She made the pill, somehow elevated the dosage without having to extend the volume of the sleeping pill she took. I think they actually had a thing, that's how Myra managed to slip the pill in her case. Can you believe that? Your own mother out of all people was a lesbian."

Eric snorted and shook his head a little.

"And since Myra couldn't be seen with her the night she was going to be killes, just in case they strapped her to an investigation that would escalate in a truth serum dosage, so I was the one who slipped into her house, took pills from her bottle to make it seem like she'd taken a bunch, then left."

"And it had to be you? You made sure-"

"Yes I made sure, Eric" Morgan interrupted "I've been at this for a year, I've not left a stone unturned. Everything came out accordingly. And yes, it had to be me. I wanted to see her die for everything she did to you" she said between teeth, then took a deep breath and let it out in a sigh.

Eric placed his hand on her thigh, squeezing.

"Thank you Morgan"

She smiled at him and stood up, leaning to him and kissing him on the lips.
