"I assume you now regret choosing Dauntless," Marcus says.
I shake my head.
"Not even after your faction's leaders decided to join in a plot to overthrow the government?" Marcus spits.
"There were some things I needed to learn."
They get into the compound with little problem. It was interesting to read how Abnegation members handled getting into Dauntless. Marcus almost falls off of the roof, and Tris hopes he does. Unfortunately, he is pulled up by Caleb and Andrew. When Tris tries to find the program she finds Peter. He's awake. Tris shoots him in the arm when he won't tell her where the program is. That was my favorite part of the whole chapter. Anyway, Peter will only tell Tris where the program is if she takes him with her so the Dauntless won't kill him. She agrees because she has no other choice.
Tris's dad is not happy that she shot Peter, but Tris knows that she has no other choice if she wants to stop the Erudite plan.
On the way to the control room where the program is stored, they are ambushed by Dauntless guards.
My father jumps out of the elevator and sprints down the right hallway, drawing the Dauntless guards after him. I clap my hand to my mouth to keep from screaming at him. That hallway will end.
And just like that, Tris and Caleb become orphans. I'm honestly surprised that Tris hasn't broken down yet. She killed one of her best friends, her parents were murdered protecting her, and Tobias is a mindless zombie. She is stronger than anyone gives her credit for.
Finally, Tris reaches the control room. The room is filled with monitors that show every part of the city.
In front of the screen is a chair and a desk. Sitting in the chair is a Dauntless soldier.
"Tobias," I say.
