Again, it’s all speculation.

And right now we can at least count on Axel.

My phone suddenly goes off.

I grab it and go cold. No. No!

Unknown

You had one job, Famine.

I drop the phone onto my bed and look behind me. My fingers go completely numb. No! This cannot be happening!

The phone buzzes again.

Unknown

Did you think that eliminating one person would change the game?

I should scream

Get Jenner.

But I can’t move.

I type back.

Who is this?

Unknown

Another buzz.

Unknown

And another reason Axel Mercer won’t be tomorrow night if you don’t get me exactly what I want.

Axel.

Not Proctor.

Shit. They know. They know his real identity. How? My lungs seize up, I try to breathe, but the room's air feels too thin. I finally just ben dover and close my eyes to life.

With shaky hands I text back.

Me

What do you want?

The response is immediate.

Unknown

What I’ve always wanted.
