Catching Fire

The Hunger Games have ended, Katniss and Peeta are back in District 12, scarred but Victors. But are they safe?  And what of the rumors of unrest in the Districts that they may have fueled with their actions in the arena?  Should Katniss work to put out the flames as Snow insists or is now the time to fan them into a rebellion?

Rebels within the Capitol’s infrastructure have intercepted this transmission and passed it along to us.  The details of the document prove that President Snow is continuing to monitor the “Girl on Fire” closely.  Experts are working to decipher the details Snow has deemed confidential.
