Falling Apart. (Newt // The Maze Runner)

Chapter 2: Its all gone.

Madeline looked at Newt, just as confused. "I have no idea.." she said, running her fingers through her hair. "Maybe its a challenge!" Frypan added, "Maybe WICKED is just tricking us to see what we'll do." Newt eyed Frypan and shrugged, "It just doesnt make sense." he said trailing off. He helped himself out of the box, making sure not to crumple the slip of paper. "Is it signed by anyone?" a Glader asked from behind. Newt held the note in the air, "No. Of course its not bloody signed." he said, hitting the boy on the chest. Madeline chuckled and brushed a piece of hair away from her face, "Well, I honestly have no idea what, why, or how this happened.." she started, but realized nobody was listening. She rolled her eyes and walked off. 'This is all some pretty weird stuff, but probably none of my buisness.' she thought to herself as she stuck her hands in her pockets and walked off toward the hammocks.

Newt sighed and looked around for Madeline. "Hey! Any of you shuckfaces seen Mads?" he asked, taking his mind away from the note. The Gladers shrugged and went back to gossping about the incident. He rolled his eyes and shoved the note into his pocket, not even trying tobe careful. He streched quickly and started to jog toward the hammocks, knowing she's be in hers. "Hey there." he said casually as he leaned over to catch his breath. His limp often caused him trouble when it came to transportation around the Glade."God Newt. What did I tell you? You need to stop running around here, its bad for your foot.' she said kindly, offering a seat next to her. Newt half smiled andsat next to her, "I know, you just went off and I-" he got cut off by her glare, "alright, I wont do it again."  She smiled a cheesy grin and knudged him lightly. "Its okay. What do you need? If its about that supid note, I dont think I can be much help." she deadpanned. Madeline loved helping Newt, but when it came to childish things like this, it was out of the question.

"Oh come on Mads.." he said returning the light tap, "we need to figure out what this means!" She frowned and thought about it for a while, "Alright. But only if you stop chasing after people. As stupid as that sounds, we cant have you in pain if we're gonna figure this thing out." she said. Newt smirked and rolled his eyes, "Okaayy. Fine. Now lets go, I have the perfect place where we can try to 'decode' this thing." he said, lifting his hands to point toward the woods.
