Tris POV:
That night I struggle to get to sleep, my mind continuously going to Four and his possible return home next week. I can't wait for him to be home. I give up on the idea of sleep and start to pace the room, trying to think of a way to get Four back. I really need him. I sigh and take a walk to the security room. I need to see somethig. Something about the promo shoot is eating at me but I don't know what.
As I walk into the security room, I see the guy who me and Finnick talked to before. He smiles when he sees me. "Hey." I say. " Do you have the footage of the last broadcast? There's something I need to look at." I ask and look at him innocently. He nods and pulls up the footage. I study it closely, moving forward slightly. There's bunch of white roses in the background. "Pause it and zoom in." I demand, nit bothering with kindness this time. He does as I say and looks at me with a frown on his face. I count the amount of roses. There's 6. 6 days. There's a countdown for something. His death maybe? I thank the guy and run to find Katniss and Finnick. I end up at Finnick's room first.
Pounding on the door, I try and regain my breath. Finnick opens the door and rubs his eyes. "What is it?" He asks me groogily.
"We need to get Katniss and meet with Coin. Now." I say having regained most of my breath. He looks at me with furrowed brows. I clearly need to explain more, I can't waste any time. "The roses are back. A countdown has begun. There was 6. I don't know what it's a countdown for but we only have 6 days to prepare. At least I think they represent days." His confusion disappears as he closes the door and starts running alongside me.
We get to Katniss' room and repeat the process of pounding on the door and explaining. She agrees and walsk with us to Coin's office. I feel calmer now. If she's not awake I don't know what we'll do. We need to start acting. We need to get Peeta and Four out of there. "If Coin isn't there, I'm staying there tonight so she has no choice but to talk to us." Katniss says. I look at her and smile slightly. "Me too." Finnick rolls his eyes but doesn't look annoyed with us. "Well now I have no choice but to stay with you." He grins.
