A Different Divergent: A Better Tomorrow

~one-hundred and six~

Chapter 106

Tobias leans over and presses his lips to mine in a reverential kiss full of love and affection then wheels me back to the auditorium just in time to see the redheaded psychopath being dragged up on stage.

"You're going to let them do this to me, Tobias?" she yells and my irritation level grows.

"Jack, she's mentally disturbed. If she thinks the things she says are true, will she be able to lie?" I ask.

"It's possible depending on how deep her delusions are," he says.

"That's what I'm afraid of," I say.

"If I have to, I can go under truth serum myself to set the record straight," Tobias says.

"Okay, let's get this started," Jack says. Tobias wheels me over by Dad and Caleb then joins him on stage.

"At Tris' request, the interrogations will continue today," he says as Jack readies the bitch for the serum. "Olivia Nelson, factionless, will be first followed by Molly Atwood, factionless, and finally Porter Hayes, Candor prisoner. The interrogations will be held in quick succession. You may attend one or all. There will only be a short recess between interviews and no lunch break. Once the interview is underway, we want no interruptions. Jack, are you ready?"

"I am," he says as he injects the light blue serum into the prisoner. Within seconds she wilts in the chair and Jack goes through the routine questions then he starts in on the relevant ones. "Why did Ethan Black ask you to try and break up Four and Tris Prior?"

"He wanted his children back, and he thought if Tobias and Beatrice separated the courts would award him custody."

"Why were you willing to help him?" he asks.

"He was my uncle," the bitch says. "You do things to help family."

"What things did you do to try and break up their marriage?"

"I faked some photos of me and Tobias in compromising positions but she wasn't convinced," she spits. "I snuck into their apartment and played little pranks, hoping to get them arguing but I'm not sure they even noticed. I told everyone I was having sex with Tobias. I tried to talk a few guys into spreading rumors that Beatrice was unfaithful but they were scared of Tobias." God, I wish she'd stop saying his name.

"First of all, who helped you with the photos?" Tobias asks. Her body visibly trembles as she tries not to answer.

"Grant and Sam."

"Simon, Tony, have Grant Clark arrested," he says and they take off through the door. Unfortunately, Sam got the death penalty. "Why did they help you?"

"Sami owed me a favor," she says, "and Grant would have done anything I asked. I let him have sex with me." I look at her father and idly wonder how many people in this room know she's his daughter. He must be so proud.

"It's nice to know you whored yourself out," Tobias mutters.

"Four, let's keep this civilized," Jack says.

"You're right. I'm sorry," he says then turns back to the confused redhead in the chair. "Did we ever have sex, Olivia?" Once again she rallies against the serum, not wanting to answer.

"No," she says. "But I really want to. I love you, Tobias. We could have a good life. I'll even consider helping you raise your brats."

"Enough," he roars, his voice bouncing off the walls and ceiling of the crowded room. "You may finish with this piece of trash, Jack." I think he's going to come sit next to me but instead he exits the stage door, needing some time to pull himself together.
