Chapter 28

Tris leaves the Dauntless compound to go see Caleb, she knows that she's not supposed to leave the compound unsupervised but she needs to get away.  When Tris gets to the Erudite compound she finds Caleb, and they talk about each others faction.  Tris asks what's wrong when she sees dark circles under his eyes.

"Something big is happening, Beatrice.  Something is wrong."  His eyes are wide and glassy.  "I don't know what it is, but people keep rushing around talking quietly and Jeanine gives speeches about how corrupt Abnegation is all the time, almost every day."

The visit doesn't end well when Tris calls the Erudite arrogant and greedy.  She tells him that their mom wants him to research the simulation serum, but is then taken away by security.  They take her to Jeanine Matthews office where she is asked about her aptitude test results and simulation records.  To get out of there Tris pretends to agree with Jeanine about agreeing with the articles that the Erudite have been publishing.  She also has to pretend to be a cocky Dauntless initiate.

Finally, she is let go.  When she returns to the Dauntless compound Eric is waiting for her.  He threatens to reconsider her ranking but Four is there to save her...again.  He says that Tris tried to kiss him but he rejected her and she ran off because she was embarrassed. Eric believes it and let's Tris go with a warning.  After Eric leaves Four asks if Tris is okay.  Of course she isn't!  She failed at the fear landscape, you embarrassed her, she came face to face with Jeanine, and your ignoring her.  Four explains that he can't show he cares or else people will think that her ranking is from his favoritism instead of her skill.

Later that night, Tris meets Four at the train station.  Four tells Tris that he came across files with war plans in them.  The Erudite are preparing for a war and somehow plan on getting the Dauntless to fight for them.

This is the place where Tris and Caleb talked.
