District Nine and three quarters

The Mission

I woke up early the next morning, to day we were planning a raid on the justice building. My tummy rumbled, I hadn't been well feed for days. Since the capitol arrived everyone who worked with the peace force lost their job. That's more than half the district! Mum lost her job. Water's rationed too so I haven't had a proper wash in days either. I climbed out of bed and started to get dressed. I put on a pair of faded jeans and a sky blue blouse. My blouse has the district nine and three quarters symbol sewn on in gold in the top right of the blouse. Nearly all of my clothing has the symbol on it. Arnold told us not to wear district clothing but I don't have anything else. I checked the clock - five to seven. I had five minutes to get to the justice building. I put a pair of black boots and ran out of the house. As I approached the building it seemed as if I was the first to arrive. I looked around.

"Yazzie, Yazzie!" I spun around to see Arnold's head poking out from around a tree. A ran over, "Right everyone's here then," Arnold said. Louien nodded. "Everyone know what they're doing?" Everyone nodded slowly.

"Can you run it by me again?"Comley asked. Louien sighed, "Ok, you go around to the front of the building and ask to see Spencer Ripon. Meanwhile Gregory, Arnold, Yazzie and I will creep in through Spencer Ripon's office window. You will ask Spencer about signing up for food at the hunger games reaping. This should keep him busy for long enough. We will continue through the building to the store room, where all the uniforms are kept. We will smuggle them all out through the office window, where Riza and Amirita will be waiting to fill them into bags ready to transport them back to Arnold's." Comley nodded.

"Let's go!" I crept in through the window, it was quite high up. I poked my head in to the office. It looked like any other office to me. The oak desk was just to the left off the window.

"Yazzie, just get in, we haven't got long!" Louien shouted. I sighed. I looked down at the floor, it was quite a long way down. How was I suppose to get down, it didn't help that it was my head poking through the window and not my feet. "YAZZIE!" Louien shoved me. I fell head first through the window and landed in a heap on the floor.

"Word of advice, come in feet first," I mumbled.

"I'm coming in," Louien announced. I slowly moved away from under the window. Louien landed neatly under. "Arnold, come on in." Arnold poked his head though the window,

"Um Arnold, come in feet first," I said. Arnold nodded and turned around. He landed with a clunk on the floor. Gregory quickly followed.

"Right follow me," Louien said. I got to my feet and followed everyone out the door. We briskly followed Louien down the corridor. She knows where's going, she worked here for eleven years. "In there." Arnold carefully open the door that Louien was pointing too. The door opened quietly and we all dodged inside.

"Is this the store room?" Gregory asked.

"Yes," Louien said sharply. Louien flicked a light switch and the room suddenly light up, revelling tall stacks of bottle green jumpers and jeans.

"Take as much as can carry back to the window and give it to Riza or Amirita." Louien told us. We all nodded. I took a stack of jumper and ran. I suddenly worked why Arnold and Louien had chosen Spencer's office, it was by far the closest to the store room. I was the first back to the office. I ran over to the window,

"Riza," I hissed. Riza's head popped up to the window. "Here." I passed the large pile to Riza. "I need to go back and get some more." Riza nodded. I turned back down the corridor.

"HIDE!" Louien cried. She was running straight towards me, closely followed by Arnold and Gregory. "HIDE!"
