onset of the Games. A canopy of netting that, aside from discouraging<br />

birds, seems to be useless shelters the pyramid itself.<br />

The whole setup is completely perplexing. The distance, the<br />

netting, and the presence of the boy from District 3. One<br />

thing’s for sure, destroying those supplies is not going to be as<br />

simple as it looks. Some other factor is at play here, and I’d<br />

better stay put until I figure out what it is. My guess is the pyramid<br />

is booby-trapped in some manner. I think of concealed<br />

pits, descending nets, a thread that when broken sends a poisonous<br />

He’s pointing up to the woods, far beyond me, and without<br />

turning I know that Rue must have set the first campfire. We’d<br />

made sure to gather enough green wood to make the smoke<br />

noticeable. The Careers begin to arm themselves at once.<br />

An argument breaks out. It’s loud enough for me to hear<br />

that it concerns whether or not the boy from District 3 should<br />

stay or accompany them.<br />

“He’s coming. We need him in the woods, and his job’s done<br />

here anyway. No one can touch those supplies,” says Cato.<br />

“What about Lover Boy?” says the boy from District 1.<br />

“I keep telling you, forget about him. I know where I cut<br />

him. It’s a miracle he hasn’t bled to death yet. At any rate, he’s<br />

in no shape to raid us,” says Cato.<br />

So Peeta is out there in the woods, wounded badly. But I am<br />

still in the dark on what motivated him to betray the Careers.<br />
