Chapter 6 - The Key

The rest of the day goes by very slowly. I am anxious on what is going to happen tonight and once we do get the key, what exactly we will find behind that door. We are finally in the caf. My leg is shaking and Thomas places his hand on it.
- "Relax." He whispers in my ear. "I'll be fine."
Janson walks in, holding his paper in hand.
- "Evening." He says. "You all know how this works. Alice. Barry. Walt. Edgar. Samantha."
- "I want to know what's through that door." Thomas says.
He's preparing himself. Newt turns his head to look at him.
- "Aaron." Says Janson.
- "Now, we've been over this." Says Newt. "You guys said they were covered up, so you don't know what you saw."
- "Dennis."
- "It could've been anything under there."
- "We know exactly what we saw. They were bodies." Says Thomas.
- "Sally."
Winston and Minho look at Thomas and I.
- "Aris said they bring in a new batch every night."
- "Who the hell is Aris?" Asks Minho.
- "Henry." Continues Janson.
I point to Aris and everyone turns around to look at him. Aris is looking at an apple.
- "Tim."
- "Well, I'm sold." Says Minho.
I roll my eyes. Typical Minho.
- "And last but not least, David."
I hit Thomas in the arm. Now is time.
- "Thank you for your attention. Enjoy the rest of your evening." Says Janson, while walking away.
The guard swipes in and it opens the door. I was right, he does have a card.
- "Okay, until we know anything for certain, we should just keep our heads down," Says Newt.
- "Now." I whisper to Thomas.
- "And try not to draw any attention to ourselves, all right?"
Thomas gets up and walks to the door as quickly as possible. I turn to Aris and he looks at him, confused.
- "What is he doing? Y/n. What the hell is he doing?" Newt asks.
- "I think he's drawing attention to himself." Says Fry.
The guys all look at me and Thomas gets stop by the guards. I am nervously shaking and start biting my nails.
- "Y/n what in the bloody hell are you guys planning?" Asks Newt.
I don't answer.
- "Y/n. Im serious. Answer me!"
I look at him and still not say anything. Come on Thomas. Come on. Give me the signal. He turns back around to face back to the guards and take a few steps towards us. That's my queue. He quickly turns back around and shoves himself into the guards. He better have gotten that freaking key. I run up as quickly as possible towards him to calm him down.
- "BACK OFF." Says the guard.
The rest of the guys follow me.
- "Whats your problem man? What the hell uh?" Screams Thomas, hitting the guard.
- "BACK OFF." Says the guard.
I grab Thomas by the arm in order to calm him down and the guys do the same.
- "Why won't you let me see her?" Says Thomas.
- "Control your friend." Says the guard looking right into my eyes.
Janson arrives.
- "Whats happening here?" Asks Janson. "Thomas. I thought we could trust each other." Janson places his hand on Thomas's shoulder. "You know we're all on the same team here."
- "Are we?" Says Thomas.
God I love him.
- "Get them to their bunks." Says Janson.
The guards all grab us and we all walk towards our little room. Thomas is right next to me.
- "Worked?" I say.
- "Yeah." He answers.
I sigh in relief. Once to our room, we are shoved inside. The doors lock. Everyone gathers around Thomas and I.
- "What the hell was that about?" Says Minho. "Both of you." He looks at me straight into the eyes.
- "You didn't really think they were jut going to let you through?" Says Newt.
- "Nah. Of course we didn't."
He takes out the card out of his pocket. I sigh in relief. It really did work.
- "Were going to find out what's on the other side of that door." Says Thomas.
Everyone looks at us angrily.
- "Right." Says Newt.
- "Newt! They are hiding something. Ok?" I say.
- "These people they aren't who they say they are." Says Thomas.
- "Guys! You don't know that!" Says Newt. "The only thing that we do know is that they helped rescue us from WICKED. They gave us new clothes. They gave us food. They gave us a proper bed. Some of us haven't had that in a long time."
- "Yeah but..."
- "Some of us a lot longer than others." Says Newt cutting him off.
- "Yeah well you know what. I've been in the maze for as long as all of you shitheads and I still think that we have never escaped WICKED. Start looking over all of the fluff they are giving us and you're realize how WEIRD and STRANGE this whole situation is. Think about it. For 3 years. 3 FUCKING YEARS we have been in the maze. What the hell did they do during this time? Planning this. Their plan two or whatever is by building this place and telling us we have been saved. So stop putting Thomas on the spot and open your eyes." I say out of anger.
The guys all take a step back. Suddenly, the sound of the metal is heard and Aris's head pops out.
- "Hey Thomas. Hey Y/n." Says Aris.
I wave to him.
- "What the." Says Fry.
All of the guys look at us confused.
- "You got it didn't you?"
- "Yeah. Now let's go." Says Thomas.
I nod.
- "All right look, maybe you guys are right. Maybe I'm just being paranoid." Says Thomas.
He bends down and so do I. All the guys are leaning over us.
- "But we got to find out for sure. Just cover for us. We'll be back as soon as we can."
- "No." Says Newt.
Thomas is about to say something but I grab his arm.
- "I'll take care of it. I'll follow you."
He goes in.
- "Newt please. Trust me. As my brother please do this for me and cover for us."
He nods. I go in and follow Thomas. We travel in the vents and I am breathing loudly. I am thinking of all the different possibilities of things we could see, and I don't like any outcomes. We finally get to the top the three of us.
- "All right." Says Thomas. "Let's do this."
