KATNISS' POV

After a while, Gale stands up, hands Oakley to me, and shoots Haymitch a weird look

"I'd better go" he says, opening the door, Haymitch sees me staring at him, who's staring at Gale, and he quickly snaps his head towards me

"Yes me too, Paylor wants me to be apart of some campaign she's running" he says with an eye roll and a low grumble

"Why don't you stay here for a while Katniss?" Gale says. Apparently they don't know that I'm not stupid

the whole 'Why don't you stay here?' Wasn't a question, it was an order, and I wont just sit here, I'm going to find out why.

I'm about to follow them, but then I remember 'I have 4 month old with me' so I lay him carefully on the bed, he closes his eyes in a matter of seconds.

I know I shouldn't, but I quietly slip out, leaving Oak by himself

I walk down the hall to the weapons artillery, where Peeta and I had stumbled across yesterday, and sit by the huge oak door, tracing my finger through the cracks, listening to Gale and Haymitch talk to President Paylor.

"No Commander Hawthorne, I simply cannot organize a mission such as this" Paylor says aggravatedly

"You need to!" Gale Persists

"I advise you to watch what you say when speaking to your president" Paylor says sternly, glaring at him

"We can't just do nothing" Haymitch grumbles

"President we have no idea what will happen to them in there, and I'm NOT going to stand by and wait to find out!"

"Commander Hawthorne" Paylor raises her voice to a warning tone, Gale pounds his fist on the table

"We need to rescue Peeta and Bare!"
