You guys thought I was never going to update again, didn't you ;) I could never leave you hanging like that!

I had a lot of doubt about this story because I discussed this with my friends and they decided to point out all the things that were unrealistic and I started doubting myself and it's legitimacy- until I realized, it's my fucking story and I can do whatever the hell I want! ^-^ If I want them to have a pet unicorn then Erudite will damn well get onto it! (No, they won't be getting a pet unicorn, that was an example, I apologize for the false hope.

Previous chapter:

It's been fifteen minutes since he left her, I was starting to think she wasn't going to wake up, until her eyes began to flutter and she began to stir.
"Shauna?" I ask, her eyes settle on me and she looks confused for a moment.
"Tris?" she asks as her eyes focus. "Tris, oh god, I can't believe he got you too."
"Zeke's going crazy looking for you." I tell her, I feel she needs to know he's worrying for her.
"I'm sure Four's doing the same thing right now." she says with a sympathetic smile.
"Why did he take us?" I ask.
"There's two of them, and neither of them will tell me a fucking thing." Shauna doesn't usually swear, but she's been here for almost a day, I can imagine her composure is wearing thin. How long will I be here... are we ever leaving... what do they want with us?

Chapter 13:

Tobias POV

'Screen check, monitors one-three-five and two-one-eight.' A voice instructs through my headset, I check monitors 135 and 218, just two young boys showing each other their pocket knives - doesn't seem too harmful; no aggression, just bragging.

Suddenly there's a strange scratching on the door to the control room, I pull off my headset and stare at the door until I hear a bark; not just any bark, Blaze's bark.

I'm on my feet and running to the door in an instant. I open it and Blaze looks up at me and whimpers.
"Blaze? What's wrong boy?" I ask, kneeling down to him. He has his lead on, it just drapes behind him. I check the hallways for Tris but I can't see her. "Where's mum?" I ask, he whimpers loudly and starts off down the hall, stopping to look back at me, as if to imply I should follow him.

"I have to leave early, Josh cover for me." I call back into the control room. Josh salutes without looking away from his screen. I close the door and grab Blaze before we start into a run.

He leads me out of the Dauntless compound and down a degrading footpath in a dead part of the city. Why would Tris be out here? We run for about 10 minutes before he slows then suddenly stops. I look down to see a small red stain on the pavement... Blood.

"Where's mum?!" I yell down at Blaze breathlessly, he just whimpers. Tris is hurt and I have no idea where she is. I mentally scan my surroundings looking for camera's, I find one about 10 feet behind me, facing back towards the Dauntless compound.

I run. I run as fast as my feet will carry me, Blaze pants and struggles to keep up, I pick him up and run impossibly faster. I'm back in the Dauntless compound in under five minutes.

When I get to the control room I sit down at my station and flick through the camera's to find the one I'm looking for. This is quite difficult with over 800 camera's to go through. Blaze sits loyally by my feet. My pants mimic his as I attempt to catch my breath, to slow down my erratic heartbeat.

I find it, the bare street. I instantly hit rewind, there is activity on the screen and I press play. Tris. She's walking Blaze down the street, she seems fine. Moments after a man wearing a balaclava walks onto the screen, he's following her, not far behind her either. I hear Blaze bark in my headset but I can't see him – he and Tris have already walked off screen. 'Who is that?' I faintly hear Tris' concerned voice. The man starts to run in her direction, all I hear are footsteps.

A few seconds later Blaze sprints across the screen back towards Dauntless. What happened to Tris?!
"Fucking useless camera's!" I growl as I smash my fist into the desk.
"Four?" I hear someone call behind me. I turn around and see Zeke coming over to me. His expression is a strange combination of terror and fury. He says nothing as he hands me a piece of paper.

We have Shauna and Tris.
If you want them back in one piece you will follow these instructions.
At 0200 hours tomorrow morning you will cause a fault in all in Dauntless security cameras effectively shutting the system down for a minimum of 10 minutes.
You will not tell anyone about this.
If you follow these instructions we will release Shauna and Tris to you.

"Someone's taken her." He says furiously, tears threatening to spill over.
"Someone's taken them." I correct him. I turn around and replay him the almost useless video for him.
"We need help." Zeke states.
"We can't tell anyone about this." I counter, the instructions are very clear, I don't want anything to happen to Tris, or Shauna for that matter. It's almost 4 in the afternoon, we only have... 10 hours, "Where did you get the letter?" I ask.
"It was slipped under my door." He answers.

After checking the footage of Zeke's hallway we see the person who slipped it under. It's a man, well built, cloaked in black, hood up, face hidden. I'm ready to destroy this pathetic security system. We have 10 hours to devise a flawless plan to comply with these instructions; fault the camera's, without putting anyone in danger, risking our jobs or positions in Dauntless for that matter.
"What do we do?" he asks.
"We follow the instructions." I state.

Tris POV

I don't know what time it is, how long we've been here or what is going on. My back and arms are in a torturous pain from being braced against this beam. My head is still aching from the impact with the pavement.

"Tris?" Shauna croaks.
"Yeah?" I ask.
"Do you think they'll kill us?" She asks. I had thought of the possibility, I did not dwell on it, I don't want to think of it as a possibility.
"I don't know." I answer honestly.
"I hope someone finds us." She whispers.
"I'm sure Zeke and Four are doing whatever they can right now to find out where we are and how to get us back home." I try to reassure her, and myself.
"They'll find a way," she breathes deeply, pausing, "they have to."

Tobias POV

"How the fuck are we supposed to do that?!" Zeke yells at me. I give him a warning look before grabbing his arm and pulling him out of the control room, before he shakes my arm off. "What are you doing?" He asks.
"We should probably go somewhere private and talk about this." I say sternly before heading to his apartment, his is the closest.

"Calm down, we need to figure out how we're going to pull this off." I command as Zeke continues to scan the letter as he paces his apartment, hyperventilating.
"How are we going to shut down all of the fucking camera's for ten minutes?" he asks in a panicked voice, an octave too high for him.
"Keep your voice down," I warn, we can't have anyone hearing this conversation. "We could disconnect it from the power?" I suggest.
"It's hooked up to the main Dauntless power supply and has its own back-up generator." Zeke presents his concerns. His breathing is back to normal, though he continues to pace franticly.
"I don't see you coming up with any idea's? We have to find a way to do this without anyone knowing we did it." I explain. This is impossible, security is too highly prioritised at Dauntless.
"Do we want to be in the control room? Do we want anyone else to be in there?" He asks.
"Well, over-night shift has two people working in the control room. We could probably arrange to have anyone we want in there, I don't think both of us should be, it would see us as obvious culprits to any malfunction. Maybe we should organise it so that one of us is in there so we can make sure everything goes to plan." I suggest.
"Me or you?" Zeke asks.
"I don't know yet. We have to come up with a plan first." I remind him. We silently ponder the possibilities.
"We can't just turn the power off to the monitors, because the camera's will still record. We have to shut down the whole system. The camera's have built-in batteries to default power supply if the main power outlet fails. We can't just go take out all of the batteries." Zeke thinks aloud.
"The only way to shut the recording system down is to cut power to both the monitors and camera's, or disconnect the camera's from the recording system or..." I start rattling off before Zeke interrupts me.
"Disconnect them?" He asks. He has a plan. "How are they connected?" He asks.
"Through the main cable. Each camera is connected to a wire that directly connects to the main unit." I tell him.
"We cut it." He states simply.
"How..?" I coax. His face falls.
"I don't know." He surrenders helplessly.
"We could physically cut the main cable, but how would we do that without anyone knowing we did it on purpose?" I ask. Blaze starts growling as he plays tug of war with a shirt sleeve hanging out of Zeke's chest of draws.
"Oi!" Zeke scolds, as Blaze tears the sleeve clean off the shirt. "Blaze!" He whines. He spins around to me. "Blaze?" He asks.
"What about him?" I ask looking down to my mischievous puppy, happily ripping Zeke's sleeve into shreds.
"He could chew through it." Zeke suggests. I contemplate, though it's not long before I realise that would be a very bad idea.
"He could get electrocuted and he would be blamed and probably sent out of the Dauntless compound for inappropriate behaviour, if he survived the electro- No, not Blaze." I inform him, cutting myself short, I didn't want to think of the negative possibilities.
"We could send a virus through the system?" I suggest.
"Where would we get a virus powerful enough to shut down the whole system?" He asks.
"I could write one." I suddenly realise.
"Why didn't we come up with that earlier? Go, you're wasting time!" He hurries me as he usher's me out the door.
"What kind of virus am I supposed to come up with?" I ask.
"I don't know, computers are you're thing, not mine, i just look at them all day. You're the one that programmes them, now go!" He says pushing me down the hall.

Eight hours later I am fine tuning the code for my programme. I decided against an actual virus or worm, to easily detected. I am developing a key trigger re-programming code that I will download onto a computer being used by another control room officer. It will cause a chosen command to trigger a system shutdown. It won't be detectable because it will delete itself from the computer's memory upon shut down. I've made it so when the computer zooms in on camera 746 it will trigger the shut down.

Zeke has organised for him and Wayde – one of the initiates is Tris' class - to be in the control room. Better him than me, everyone knows I'm good at programming computers, I don't want that leading any suspicions. Zeke has chosen the 411-820 camera's. On night shift each person gets half of the 820 camera's to monitor. Zeke will pretend he is having computer problems and ask Wayde to zoom onto camera 746 and as soon as he does that, complete system failure.

It's 12:23 as I stand from the computer that has been allocated to Wayde for his shift tonight. I have successfully downloaded the re-programming code, all we have to do is wait. Nightshift starts at 12:30.

Zeke POV

It's been quite tonight, nothing eventful happening - yet. Every minute the clock ticks closer to 2:00am I grow more and more nervous. At 1:51 my hands are shakey and my skin is coated in a thin gleam of sweat, even though it's rather cool in the control room.

It's hard to think about anything besides Shauna. She's been gone for so long. I have no idea what these assholes have done with her, I don't know if she's safe... I don't even know if she's alive. I don't know what I'd do with myself without Shauna. I may seem tough as nails on the outside, but most of the time it's just a mask. I'm not overly emotional or sensitive but Shauna changed me.

I'd met her the first day of training, we were only 12 – she couldn't throw a punch if her life depended on it and in Dauntless it kind of did, so I helped her. We were 14 when we had our first kiss, 16 when we lost our virginity to each other – the day we officially got into dauntless.

Shauna is okay, she will be fine. This will all be over soon and she'll come home to me. I'll marry her and we'll have beautiful children that hopefully get their looks from their gorgeous mother. I'll do anything to have that, I will get Shauna back.

1:58, it's now or never.
"Come on you stupid thing!" I say hitting my hand against the side of my monitor.
"What's up, man?" Wayde asks from four computers over.
"It's not working, aye. Could you do me a favour?" I say turning to him. I hope only I notice the slight tremor in my voice.
"Sure." He says casually.
"Can you check on camera 746? It won't let me zoom in." Four better hope to fucking god that this works, I don't like Plan B – It will definitely end up with us getting found out and kicked out of Dauntless.

Suddenly the whole room goes black, it worked.

Again, it may be a small while before I update again - fitting writing in with work and sleep is difficult. Im really sorry!
Also, I didn't send this to my Beta for editing because my email is... well it's fucked itself really. So, I apologize for any spelling/grammar mistakes.
You're comments are really the only thing keeping me writing, seriously - I never follow things through but i really want to write this to the end! - so keep up the reviews guys! 3
