We start to open the mountain of gifts. Most of the gifts were appliances. Zeke got a box of condoms. He's funny. Tris is opening the last envelope as I clean up the trash. I walk back with the trash can and she is kind of shaking. She hands me the note.

To Beatrice and Tobias

Your peace will need short lived

Marcus. Right away,we go get a security system. I'm not taking him lightly. How did he even get it to us? I try to install it as fast as I can. I just don't want to lose her. I don't want her to go through what I did. I have it set up about an hour later. At least I work in the control room. I can see everything. We head to bed that night,but I can't sleep. I can't stop thinking about this note. I want to protect her. If she dies,I die too. I can't live without her. It's been hours and I still can't sleep. I know that she's right here,but what if she isn't. What if Marcus took her or worse? Finally,my eyes close and sleep drags me in.
