The Training, Day One

"What do you mean the manor was blown up?" I press, with Tender over my earpiece. I was sitting in a hotel room, recovering from a mission. I had been tasked with infiltrating a Capitol Building and grabbing a flash drive.

I held that flash drive in my hand.

"The Capitol found it.." Tender starts. "Bombed and Burnt to the ground. There's nothing left!"

"How could they have found it?" I exclaim, inputting something on the screen of my bionic arm. A compartment opens, and I store the flash drive inside.

"I don't know.." Tender says. "Oh god, look my coms aren't great. I have Sarah with me but I don't know where Maddox is."

"He was with Lyka, right?" I press. I sat up, now concerned that my brother hadn't been found.

"Yeah, But I cant call Lyka." Tender admits. "She's either off air so that she's not found, or she's.."

"..Dead." I finish, my stomach sinking.

"Yeah, let's not talk about that.." Tender says, getting emotional. "Wait.. shit."

"What?" I ask, not forgetting about Maddox.

"There's a Capitol Bogey on its way to you right now." Tender says. "It just parked. They've got riot shields and other stuff."

"Oh great." I say. "Then I'll call you back. Don't call me."

"Gotcha." Tender says. "Good luck." He hangs up the call, and I turn out the lights as an armored Capitol truck parks outside. 8 Men jump out, and I'm unable to distinguish them. They head right for my door.

"Oh crap." I mutter, opening the compartment and seeing the flash drive. The flashing red light bust have been a tracker. I get an idea.

I rip open the door that connects the room next to mine and throw the drive in there. It lands on the bed, and I quickly close the door. The men immediately turn towards the other room, confirming my suspicions.

They turn the corner to look into the door, out of the truck's view. I go around the back door, and wait at the other end of the hall for them to bust into the secondary room.

I hear a crack from the door and make my move. I charge towards them, firing electricity and stunning them all momentarily. One managed to resist and charge with his riot shield. I remember that Tender had fitted something cool in this arm recently.

I press a small button, and a small booster comes out behind the elbow. It turns on for a second, and my arm flies into and crashes through the shield. It breaks into little bits, and the guard who was holding it gets launched into his friends by the blast.

I unsling my bow and start firing arrows at the squad, dropping them one by one. I had found a lot of time to perfect my archery since the last games, and I was quite good. Almost.

An electric shock runs through my body, and I fall to the floor. My body was thrashing violently, and I can feel my arms get handcuffed in the My daze.
