Chapter 14 - Story Time

— Tris

Leader meetings are formally held in the conference room in the Main Building. From what Tobias says, they're very formal, most of the time, and business is dealt with.

Ambassador meetings are held in the tiny hallway where "the family" lives; all of our offices right next to each other. Our meetings consist of opening your office door and wheeling your chair to the doorway. An occasional chair race as to who can race fastest down the hallway on their wheels office chair occasionally begins the meeting like a cannon at the beginning of a race.

Everyone talks at once at these meetings. At the least, there is three conversations going on at all times. By the time head ambassador Ian accepts that nothing will be accomplished, the majority of them head down to the pit and have drinks.

During my first two years, I never would think of going down to the pit with them and at these meetings I would stay quiet in the doorway of my office.

I'm glad that they helped me get out of my shell. Growing up Abnegation, I was never able to have much of a personality. The rest, well, it was history, until nowadays.

Uriah is an ambassador, and so is Evelyn. Zeke has become head of the control room, so he is always in the Main Building giving reports and requesting Josh to send squads out when something looks wrong on the cameras.

That's a new setting of Dauntless since I've been gone. I also agreed to never be on a squad in the papers I signed for Candor.

Each leader has a squad, and Josh is in charge of his squad of leaders. Along with the leaders, also the head ambassador and some other people who have proven themselves in Dauntless fighting are deemed in charge of a squad. Each person under the age of 40 is required to be in a squad, unless medically granted unable to fight, or like in my scenario, signed an agreement that they are too untrusted to be fit for a squad.

Squads are not all equal either. When needed, calling starts from the middle, tougher squads. As needed, more squads are called to duty going up the list, until reaching the head ambassador's squad. If more troops are still needed from there, weaker squads are called from below the middle, which fulfills people nearing the forty range in age and the people not very well trained but did pass initiation.

The squad system is frequently used, but not in extreme ways. There has yet to be a time where all squads have been out in the field. The maximum has been five squads out of the many. They were called when someone manufactured a bomb in an Erudite lab and the woman was on the loose.

This woman was never found. I've asked people about it before, for I know people know more than I do, but everyone denies that they know anything about the incident other than all camera lines being cut and the woman unrecognizable as a citizen of Chicago.

I mean, if they couldn't recognize me as a citizen when I came back, I wouldn't count on their judgement for this much.

I sit at my office desk and read over a note Ian asked me to proof that he was sending to Candor. As my supervisor in my position, he is required to give an update on my accomplishments and any mishaps I may have.

Although he swore not to, he always lets me read over what he writes before sending it over to them.

Ian is a great guy, and I've grown to look to him for support at times. He is about ten years older than me, has green eyes and black hair with pale skin. He's not tall, but is very loose and a fun guy to be around. He also has grown to support me greatly, for in his monthly notes about me to Candor, he always pleads for them to give up their grip on me, for I'm clearly innocent,
