Coriolanus was walking behind the other peacekeepers, when he heard a whistle and sunk off to an alley confused and saw Aletta and he took off her helmet and walked over to her.

" Are you okay? " Coriolanus asked.

" The mayor's going to get me killed, Coriolanus " Aletta said " He already thinks it was me....Billy Taupe, Mayfair, both dead, if they catch Spruce now or Sejanus talks—".

" Sejanus won't talk " Coriolanus interrupted.

" How do you know that? " Aletta questioned " they torture, the people they catch for information.....even peacekeepers ".

" I'm sorry.......I'm so sorry " Coriolanus whispered " I should've dealt with the guns myself " Aletta looked down as he spoke " And Mayfair....I just wasn't thinking straight—".

" I have to run.....north " Aletta interrupted " Like Billy Taupe and the others talked about, away from the districts...if I stay here, I'm as good as dead ".

" What about the convey? " Coriolanus asked.

" They can look after each other.....I just wanted to say goodbye " Aletta defended, she knew she had to leave for her sake and for who she was trying to protect.

Suddenly they heard yells and shouts.

" I'll come with you " Coriolanus said.

" what about your family? " Aletta questioned.

" It doesn't mattter....your the only thing that matters to me " Coriolanus replied " When do we go? ".

" Tomorrow.....dawn " Aletta sighed.

" Okay, okay.....meet me at the hanging tree, first light " Coriolanus said and Aletta nodded, he smiled at her touching her chin softly before leaving.

She felt her staoamch turn, when she heard peacekeepers say they caught Spruce and she turned to her side and pukes before wiping her mouth and she knew the sooner she got out of district 12 the better.

Aletta stood in the crowd that were gathered for the hanging at The hanging Tree, she held Lucy Gray's had in comfort.

" 3 years....3 years, I fought for the Capitol during the war......I've been angry......but this is the first time, I've felt ashamed.....get the other one up here " Hoff shouted and two peacekeepers brought out Sejanus.

" Coryo....Coryo " Sejanus pleaded as they dragged him to the hanging tree but the blonde only looked at him.

" The Capitol has received word via jabberjay that these two men conspired to break into our base's jail and flee north to release this terrorist from captivity, I'd expect this from a Rebal....but not from one of our own, this is treason, plain and simple.....play the recording ".

" the leader Spruce, he wants to get his sister Lil out of jail on base, Hoff is going to execute her.......Just because, she knows the man that they killed, it's wrong " Sejanus voice was heard on the recording as he protested calling out for his mother before he was executed.

The jabberjay's began to replay his last words over and over as Aletta looked at Coriolanus, who stood straight faced.

( she's also wearing the Shaw Coryo gave her )

it was the next morning and Aletta was leaving for the hanging tree to meet Coriolanus.

" Are you sure about this? " Lucy Gray asked.

" Yes.....not just protect me but to protect....." Aletta trailed off as she placed a hand on her stomach.

" I know....just be safe " Lucy Gray smiled.

" I will.....you and the covey take care of yourselves " Aletta smiled, Lucy Gray nodded and pulled the shorter girl into a hug " I'll see you again, I promise you that " Aletta placed three fingers to her lip before blowing a kiss at her sister and Lucy Gray did the same before she left.
