Tris's POV:
"Sweetie, you haven't been home since for three days. I'm starting to get worried," I say, "call me when you get the chance. Love, you."
I hang up the phone and sigh.
I decide to call Zeke.
"Hey, Tris," he says.
"Hey, um... Have you talked to Tobias?"
"No. He hasn't answered any of my calls. Why?"
"He hasn't been home for three days."
"Don't panic, Tobias is tough."
"But even Tobias always calls me right after he misses my calls. And I'm really worried."
"Okay, I'll go look for him."
"Thank you."
"No problem."
I hang up.
"Mommy."
I turn around to see Parker.
"Yes, baby," I say.
"When is daddy coming home?" he asks.
"I don't know. But he'll come home.".
"Are you sure?"
I kneel down.
"I'm sure. Daddy is a brave man."
He hugs and I kiss his head.
Please come home soon, Tobias.
I sigh and hug Parker tighter.

The house phone rings.
"Tobias?" I ask.
"No Zeke."
"You haven't found him?"
"No but I found his phone."
"Zeke, I don't like this. I don't like this at all."
"Calm down. We'll find him."
There is another call on the line.
"Zeke, hold on one minute."
I answer the other.
"Hello?" I ask.
"Tris. Long time, no see."
I get goosebumps.
"Eric," I say dryly.
"Aw. You remember my name?"
"How could I forget?"
"Glad to know my actions follow my name."
"What do you want?"
"Oh, there is someone who wants to talk to you."
I hear Tobias's voice.
"Tris, baby it's me."
"Tobias, are you okay?"
Then Eric puts the phone back to his ear.
"Too bad those children are going to grow up without a dad."
"Eric. What do you want?"
"You."
"My body's not for sale."
"Then then say bye-bye to your Blue-Eyed Birdie."
Tears sting my eyes.
"O-okay. Not my body but anything else," I say.
"Then maybe just money."
"How much?"
"I'm feeling generous so $1000."
"Okay."
"Really?"
"Yea. He's my husband and I love him."
"I wish I loved someone that much."
"You're vain and bitter. Can your heart even love."
He clears his throat.
"So, I am at Hub. Top floor. The broken one."
"Alright. Can I talk to Tobias?"
"Fine."
"Tris," Tobias says. "Don't do it."
"I'm doing it and nothing you do is going to change my mind."
"Tris, why are you so stubborn?"
"Tobias, I can't. I love you too much."
"Tris--"
"I love you Tobias."
