Tobias's P.O.V.
After Cara left, I could only think about Tris. She's out there, I have to find her. I call the only person I can think of, even though it hurts. I call Caleb. (Underlined is Tobias, plain is Caleb.)
What do you need?
I need you to come over.
Why?
Just do it
I hit end call before Caleb can respond. He will come, I rarely ask him over unless I need him, and right now, I do. He knows a lot of things, so he might be able to help me find Tris. Maybe there are clues that I didn't find, and he can.
While waiting for Caleb to show up, I snuggle up with Allaya on the couch and drift off to sleep.
***
I wake from the loud noise of my front door slamming. My eyes shoot open and I find Caleb standing in front of me.
"What was that for?" I whisper/yell that way Allaya won't wake up. It's too late, she woke up from the loud noise, and is getting fussy.
"Why do you have a baby?" Caleb asks.
"It's a long story, sit down." I say. Caleb eyes me, but does as I said. "So, I was coming home from work, and hear a crying sound. I thought it was coming from the apartment next door, but it turned out to be coming from my room. I went in and found her on my bed." I motion towards Allaya. "I called Cara over, and she helped me. This morning I woke up and fell off my bed. While I was on the floor, I saw a note under my bed and pulled it out." I grab the note that is on the coffee table, where I left it last. I hand it to Caleb with my free hand, the other one wrapped tightly around Allaya.
Caleb reads it, and I see the same thing happen to him as Cara. He goes through all the emotions of finding out his sister is still alive, being tortured, and Allaya is his neice. "So... so, Allaya is my niece?" He asks.
"That's all you're going to ask? What about Tris!" I say, feeling a rush of anger. Through all of that, all he could think of was that Allaya is his niece. He didn't mention that Tris is alive and we have to find her.
"No... I... I'm sorry... I didn't mean it like that." Caleb stutters.
"I need you to help me find her." I say.
"Um... okay, what do you have?" Caleb says, his face still worried. I can tell that he still cares about Tris, and would do anything to find her.
"The only thing that she came in, which is what she has right now." I motion towards Allaya.
"Do you think I can bring it with me, get a better look at it, and bring it back?" He says. I am cautious to hand over everything, because it all smells like Tris. It all reminds me of her.
"Uh... okay?" I say it like it's a question. I stand up and walk back towards my bedroom with Allaya in my arms. "I'll be right back!" I call over my shoulder. I lay Allaya down on the bed and quickly change her into new clothes, so Caleb can have the other ones. I bunch the old clothes and blanket and hold onto them with one hand, Allaya in my other.
I walk back to Caleb into the livingroom and hand him the stuff. "Here." I say.
"Thanks." Caleb says. I nod my head in return. "Well, I better go so I can look over them." He says, motioning towards the clothes and blanket.
"Yeah." I say, while walking him towards the door. I watch him leave.
I close the door and turn my attention back to Allaya who is still staring back at the door, waiting for someone to come through.
Almost like me, waiting for Tris to run through the door
