Veronica Roth Quote

What do we do? Fernando asks.I step toward the Candor. Maybe they aren’t programmed to shoot. I stare into the glazed eyes of a woman in a white blouse and black slacks. She looks like she just came from work. I take another step. By instinct I drop to the ground, covering my head with my arms, and scramble backward, toward Fernando’s shoes. He helps me to my feet.How about let’s not do ? he says.I lean forward--not too far--and peer into the alley between the building next to us and Erudite headquarters. The Candor are in the alley too. I wouldn’t be surprised if there was a dense layer of Candor surrounding the entire complex of Erudite buildings.Is there any other way to Erudite headquarters? I say.Not that I know of, says Cara. Unless you want to jump from one roof to another.She laughs a little as she says it, like it’s a joke. I raise my eyebrows at her.Wait, she says. You aren’t considering--The roof? I say. No. Windows.I walk to the left, careful not to advance even an inch toward the Candor. The building on my left overlaps with Erudite headquarters on its far left side. There have to be a few windows that face each other.Cara mutters something about crazy Dauntless stunts, but runs after me, and Fernando, Marcus, and Christina follow.
