Tris POV:
I wake to the sound of coffee cups slamming agaisnt the table. I sit up straight and look around the room, Coin sits at the head of the table. "What do you want?" She says without kindness. "In the last broadcast there was white roses in the background. Six of them to be precise." I say and look straight at her. "Before the attack there was also roses in the background of each braodcast from the Capitol. Each time there was a new braodcast, there would be one less rose. I believe it is a countdown." I finish. Finnick and Katniss nod in agreement.
"What do you want me to do about it?" Coin states, without the act she puts on for District 13 she isn't as nice as she makes out. "We were hoping that we would be able to get Peeta and Four out of there before the countdown ends." Finnick replies, ignoring her rudeness towards us. "You know that Four isn't his real name, don't you?" She says looking straight at Finnick. "It's a nickname." She sneers. I stand up, surprised that she knows this piece of information about him. "Stop." I say confidently, surprising myself. "They don't need to know. And it's not your place to tell them either."
She nods. "Fair enough. I'll see what I can do to get them out sooner, but I can't promise anything. We have to be careful. We can't raise suspicion. Now get out of my office before I call security." We all but run out of her office door. I can't tell if it went well or not.
"Tris? What did Coin mean by Four not being his real name?" Katniss asks looking at me like I've kept something important from her. "I'll tell you but you have to promise not to say anything to anyone. Promise?"
"Promise."
"His real name is Tobias. Back home in 12, his father was well known. He held a lot of power. He would beat him for even the smallest of mistakes. When his father died, he decided to go by Four. I don't know why he picked Four, I never asked, but it was a new start for him and he deserved it." Katniss looks stunned.
"I'm so sorry. I never knew."
"Nobody did."
