"What did he say?" Oceana asks, nudging Carlo with her elbow.

Carlo shakes his head. He didn't want to tell anyone. He could get in trouble just for knowing.

"Did he mention your Divergence?" Jess asks casually, taking a bite from another slice of bread. "Because it's written plainly on your face."

"No, as a matter of fact he didn't. Also, if you still are wanting me to get the information you want, you better not ask about anything else."

Johnson gets up and leaves the cafeteria, kissing Jess on the cheek in a fatherly way first.
"He's a double agent now, working primarily for us," Jess explains, putting her feet on his chair. "Especially after they shot my niece."
Oceana gives a shy smile at the word "niece," not really used to that name. Or having any relatives, for that matter.
"So," Oceana says, smiling brightly at Carlo. "We're sharing a room just down the hall in the inniates wing. It's rather nice, to be honest. They got two beds in there while I can convince them later to push together. I can show you it, if you want."

"Sure." Says Carlo to Oceana. He stands up to follow Oceana.

She wheels her way out from underneath the table and leads him down the hall. She opens a door with slight amounts of difficulty and heads inside.
The bed against the right wall is a mess, the covers thrown off and the pillow on the ground. The one of the left, though, was in perfect order, untouched.
"I couldn't sleep with the pain last night, and they were all like 'here, take this pain pill!' And I was all like 'I don't take pills.' Then the nurses and myself had a large argument and I won."

Carlo puts his finger to her lips. "You need to listen. It will make you feel better. I was told they save you with a blood clot pill when you initially got shot in the hip."

"A pill was the reason why my mom became factionless. She had a surgery the year before the Choosing Ceremony. She took a ton of pills to help with recovery. The Erudite mixed up her perscreption with an old Amity couple's. Her body couldn't handle their meds, and she was rushed to the hospital. She was in there for a week. She wasn't fully recovered from her episode when the Choosing Ceremony came around, and she collapsed before her blood could fall into whichever bowl she was going to choose. It looked like she chose factionless on purpose, from the way she fell, according to Mr. Johnson. But it was the mix up in the pills. That's why I don't take pills."

Carlo nods. "I understand. Here, sit. He says, closing the door behind him and sitting down. He smiles at Oceana. "Let's just talk about stuff."

"Like what? What we're going to do once we're all healed up?" Oceana props her good foot up onto his leg, the other one remaining down in her wheelchair.

"Might as well, right? How long do you think it'll take for us to be healed up?" Carlo questions. He sits there, tapping his fingers and thinking.

"A month to get out of this wheelchair for me. Then I'll be moved to crutches. Not that bad, actually. Though Jess tends to think I'm a chair sometimes. What do you think we should do once this war is over?"

"I like what you'd thought of. I just wish we'd never been interrupted that one night at Candor." Says Carlo. He leans close to Oceana.

"Not much I can do with this hip," she says sadly. "Best I can do is set you on my lap and kiss you. Anything beyond that won't be a good idea." She smiles at him. "So, once the war is over, and let's just assume our side wins, do you think we would keep being together and continue on the path we're on?"
