Newts POV

I watch as y/n passes Teresa the scalpel, Teresa steps up to y/n putting her on her knees before speaking to her. "This will sting just a little" she says and cuts the back of her neck, removing the chip. She does gally next and then me, leaving Thomas till last.

Gally passes me and y/n a uniform and places Thomas' next to him. I put mine on and sit next to my fiancée, she lays down and closes her eyes, "we have thirty minutes to kill, what's better than too take a nap?" She laughs and rolls onto her side, holding her stomach.

I furrow my eyebrows in confusion, I have been so stressed lately that I've hardly paid any attention to her, I needed too tell her but I couldn't break her heart, I loved her and I didn't want to see her in pain.

I listen to her heavy breaths before deciding to go and sit outside. I found myself a little space near the edge and sit down, dangling my legs off of it. I sit there for a few minutes before Tommy comes and sits next to me.

"What's going on, why're you out here" he asks me and places his hands in his lap. I didn't know what to say so I just showed him, I pull up my sleeve revealing my discoloured arm, dark veins shooting up from it, and a nasty gash in the middle. He just stares for a minute before speaking, "why didn't you tell me? When did this happen" questions were thrown at me, I didn't know what to say.

"The night in the mall.. when we were running I got attacked, it scratched me .. it was never a problem till we came here, where the virus was airborne" I choke back on my words, I'm scared, I'm not ready to forget and I've seen the pain that comes with it.

He pulls down my sleeve and turns my head to look at him "we will get this cure for you, you will not die ok? I won't let you.. does she know?" He stares into my eyes waiting for me to answer. I shake my head at him and move my gaze down , watching my legs dangle.

"Listen I think there's something you should know" he says, my attention turns back to him and he starts to speak "y/n is-" he gets cut off by gally coming outside "we're ready, let's go" he says and goes back inside.

"Later ok?" I say to Tommy and follow gally inside. We all had on our outfits, I hold y/n hand and we all leave together, Teresa leads us to the building.

Y/n POV
We make it inside, no one suspects anything, we looked exactly like the other guards, even had guns strapped to our chests.

Gally left to go do something in the building, he said to follow Teresa and we would be ok. Me, newt and Tommy watch as she opens the elevator with her handprint and we step inside, sticking very close.

Just as the doors begin to close a hand slides between them and they re-open, janson steps in next to Teresa.

"Word is that Thomas and the others found us, have they had contact with you?" He asks her, I tighten my grip on the gun, secretly hoping I'd be able to use it. "No I- I haven't spoke to them" she answers, avoiding his gaze.

"I trust you Teresa.. I know that if they attempt to make contact with you, you'd tell me right?" He waits patiently for her answer. She looks up at him, still avoiding his eyes "of course" she smiles and returns to looking at the ground.

The elevator dings and we all step out, I look back at janson before the doors close, he furrows his eyebrows and presses the buttons.

We make it to an emergency door, before the elevator dings again, janson walks down with a few other soldiers "Thomas I know it's you" he shouts down the corridor, his words bouncing off the walls and back to us.

I hold my gun up towards him just like newt does, Tommy grabs Teresa and holds a knife to her neck. "Oh Thomas, we both know you won't do it" janson had a smug look on his face. "Are you so sure? She betrayed us" Thomas held the knife tight in his hand, I knew he wasn't going to do it, after all he loved her.

Teresa slips out of his grip and pushes us inside the emergency door, pushing the button and locking us inside. I knew she done it for us.. and we take it as our chance to find Minho.
