Insurgent Chapter 3 Summary

How It All Goes Down

  • Tris checks under the mattress to make sure the gun is still there. It is. Was she expecting the gun fairy to take it and leave five bucks?
  • Tris notices Johanna Reyes and Marcus Eaton outside in the apple orchard and rushes out to follow them. Can you say "forbidden fruit," Shmoopers?
  • Eavesdropping on the conversation, Tris hears Johanna and Marcus talk about Jeanine's attack and about how she was trying to steal sensitive information from the Abnegation. Tris wonders what that info could possibly be.
  • Tris goes to Tobias's room to tell him about what she heard. Before she can do it, Caleb tells her a riveting story about a book he's reading on water filtration sys…
  • Oh, sorry, we fell asleep. So, water filtration systems... yeah.
  • Caleb leaves, and Tris fills in Tobias.
  • Tobias thinks that Marcus is talking nonsense, but Tris is inclined to believe her killer instincts.
