Chapter 25

Heavily panting, we made it to our destination. The lights of the infirmary where dimmed almost pitch black, only the steady beat of heart monitors where heard.

The head nurse was asleep in her chair with her head tilted in an awkward position. Ignoring the pity feeling of how that position was going to hurt in the morning, I walked over to the front desk and looked up what room Sam was relocated to.

Just as I was about to tell Four the name of the room-a sudden crash was heard.

I looked at Four who looked back down at me. 'Get down' he mouthed. I nodded and quietly tiptoed towards the desk and crouched down. Slowly, I shifted my stance to make room for Four. I held a finger to my lips and pointed upwards where there was more commotion.

The sound of glass shattering cut the silence with a knife. Tiny shards slid underneath the desk. I peaked under the small spacing of the desk to see three pairs of feet.

From the knees and downward was all I could see. I then saw a hand grabbed a huge shard of glass from the floor.
A sudden out of someone screeching out filled the air, sending chills down my spine. Small splatters of blood painted the ground. I looked worryingly over at Four who looked like he was restraining himself from getting up.

Quickly, I grabbed the pager from my hand and texted Zeke and Luke

To: Lucas Hemmings (Dauntless)

Come to the Infirmary NOW

To: Ezekiel Pedrad (Dauntless)

Come to the infirmary STAT don't tell Uriah

Poor Uriah was already under a lot of pressure seeing his fears everyday, I didn't need to add anything to it, especially when training to act like a dauntless, not a divergent.
Almost immediately I got replies from the two.

'On my way'

Connecting the two chats, I sent them another message.

'Don't make a scene...stay hidden'

Quickly I showed Four the screen. My heart pounded in my chest as I remembered what the note said,

Might wanna be with him while it lasts.

What was that suppose to mean? Is it seriously to much to ask for? Just one drama less day. Suddenly I felt a nudge onto my ribs. I glanced at Four who has moved slightly from his original spot. He signals for me to crawl out of the desk. As quietly as possible I opened up a drawer which contained loaded guns for 'safety purposes'. I glanced at the front of the door where the the shadows of the supposed 'dauntless assassin' and his/her henchman or woman were.

Four tapped my shoulder and pointed towards the opposite direction of the room. There-to my surprise- stood Zeke and Luke holding two guns.

Four handed me a gun and then held 3 figures. I nodded and swallowed the lump in my throat.

"FREEZE" We shouted. Suddenly guns where shot and bullets where flying like the wind. "Go check on Sam!" Four shouts as he dodged a few other bullets.

I quickly reloaded the gun before snaking my way into the Patient Quarters.

My eyes scanned for Sams room.

Carter

Courtney

Collin

Ah bingo! Caylen

My hands pressed down against the door nob and I quickly opened the door.
Horrified I saw a figure with a ski mask hovering over Sam's body. At the sight of my presence, they immediately got out their gun.

Bam

The person shot the bullet, but it didn't even go near me. I ducked down behind the bed and shot the person in the foot. Immediately they went down. No, I didn't shoot her with real bullets. They were specific bullets that tranquilized someone, making them unconscious. I looked down at Sam who was completely fine.

That was when it happened.

A shout of someone in horrendous pain filed the air.

Immediately I left Sam and went over to the main room where everyone was. Oh idiotic that was. Now, the lights where on and the people have left.

I breathed in the air around me as though it would of been my last breath. Luke was currently sitting on the floor, caressing his right leg. Splotches of blood now covered a square of the floor.

"Why did you leave?" Four demanded. I looked at him confused. That's when I realized what he meant.

"SHOOT!" I yelled before sprinting back to Sam's room.

Just by a few seconds, Four came in too. But it was too late.

The dauntless assassin was gone. Whoever he/she brought with them must of carried the body away.

I groaned at my stupidity before hitting my head against the door frame. "Hey," Four says quietly and pulls me into embrace. I tightened my arms around him and sighed.

"Let's go back," I murmured against his shirt. I pulled away and went back into the scene of the crime.

"Are you sure you want me to do this?" I asked u surely at Luke who was grunting in frustration.

"Damnit Stormy Just do it!" He shouts. I nodded before muttering, 'this is gonna hurt'

With tweezers, I shoved it inside Luke's bullet wound and extracted it. Luke howls in pain during the process. "Zeke, get a towel for him to bite down on," I demanded. Zeke muttered something along the lines of 'yes sir' and left us alone.
Finally I stitched Luke's wound up, I let out a deep sigh and sat against the chair.
As I sit back Luke spits out the massive towel in his mouth. I couldn't help but allow a small smile spread on my lips.

"Did you get the towel out of the used basket?" Luke asks, trying to make a joke. I started snicker, but abruptly stopped by the expression Zeke wore.

"No way!" Luke shouts as he started to scrape his tong. By now I couldn't hold in my laughter.

"There were no other towels!" Zeke exclaims. "What? Would you have rather bled to death?"

"Yes!!!"

Luke continues to haistily scrape his tongue. I got up and made my way to Four who was done cleaning up the floor.

"Don't cleaning ma'm?" I asked mockingly. He rolled his eyes while handing me two zip-locks.
I analyzed the two. One held a tube which held in guessing was blood. The other had a single strand of hair-maybe two- and tweezers.

"This," he said while pointing to the bad with hair. "Was where the so called 'assassin' was when they were knocked out."

"And this," he says while pointing to the blood. "is from earlier. I made sure it didn't mix with Luke's. The person who's blood was on the floor didn't seem to willing to give it out." He told me. I nodded.

"What am I suppose to do with them?"

He glanced behind me to make sure no one was listening.

"I hacked into Max's email and saw that you and the other leaders are going to Erudite in a couple of days for another meeting. When your there your going to go into one of their labs and scan those two DNA samples," he says. I nodded slowly.

"What if I see Calum," I breathed out. He did plan something with Kian...but there was no proof.

Four cracked a small smile, "Tell him I'll beat his @$$." I light smirk played on my lips.

"By the way," Four starts. "Is isn't Dauntless suppose to have only 5 leaders?"

I nodded while ticking off each leader in my Mind.

Eric

Lilly

Max

Cole (A/N remember him?)

Veronica

...Me

I was taken aback. There are...6 leaders? I haven't noticed this until now. "I didn't even notice this until now..." I trailed off and looked at Four.

Suddenly, multiple voices where heard.

"What is going on here?!" A voice suddenly shouts.

Oh boy...
