The Assassin Trapped In A Maze ~Newtmas~

Chapter 18

~No One's POV~

"Why are we here?" Mitch asked Irene and Stan as he was standing in front of them with the gladers in front of an interrogation room.

"One of the scientists that worked for WICKED refuses to cooperate unless he speaks with you" Irene informed and Mitch raised an eyebrow in surprise. This was unusual, why would one of them want to talk to him specifically? It made no sense.

"Why me?" He asked in confusion since he didn't know any of them aside from Teresa and he knew it wasn't her inside the room.

"And most importantly" Frypan said, catching everyones attention to him. "Why are we here?" He asked, pointing to himself and the rest of the gladers.

"You're not forced to stay for this" Irene replied. "But we thought you would like to see at least one of the bastards that ruined years of your lives." She said, looking at all of them who had a conflicted expression on their faces.

"Alright, let's get this over with" Mitch said, taking a step towards the door to the interrogation room in front of him while the rest of them walked to the door right next to it, going inside and watching through the window just in time to see Mitch walking inside the interrogation room and sitting in front of a guy.

As soon as Mitch sat down the boy looked up and smirked when he saw Mitch sitting across from him. Mitch glanced back at him with a raised eyebrow at the other's reaction but didn't say anything and instead opened the closed file that rested on the table seperating the two boys.

"Well, well, well" The boy said, looking at Mitch up and down before resting his back against his chair. "It's been a while since we've seen each other in person but you are still as hot as the day I first saw you"

"I don't know what you're talking about" Mitch replied without glancing away from the files, going through it and taking in all the accusations the other was faced with and informations about his life. "I don't know you"

"Yes, you do" The boy replied, his smile long gone as he stared at Mitch with an intense glare.

"I'm pretty sure I don't" Mitch said, unbothered by the change in attitude as he took a few photos in his hands and started to lay them on the table, facing the boy. "Enough small talk" He said, cutting the other off when he saw him open his mouth to argue. "Do you recognise these people?" He asked, nodding towards the photos of each and every glader in front of him. The boy scowled before taking a glance at them and looking back at Mitch.

"Yes" He said with a sigh.

"Do you know what age they are?" He asked, folding his arms over his chest and resting his back on the back of the chair as he waited for answers. He usually didn't do the interrogations after his missions but since the other was only cooperating with him he didn't have much of a choice.

"6 years old to 25" He muttered and Mitch nodded to show the boy that he was right until now. Mitch then took away a few of the pictures, leaving only a couple in front of him.

"Do you know what happened to those teenagers?" He asked and watched as the other hesitate to reply. "Come on, we don't have all day."

"It depends on which one you are talking about" He said and Mitch frowned. "This one is dead, this one too, this one as well and finally this one" He said as he pointed to different pictures.

"What about the others?" Mitch asked even though he already knew the answers.

"I don't know what happened to them" He informed and Mitch looked at him skeptically.

"What do you mean by that?"

"I don't know, man" He said with a sigh. "We never knew what happened to those who didn't die inside the maze. They were a couple of them that would still be alive when they were taken out after staying a night in the maze but after that we didn't know, alright?" He explained while Mitch listened very carefully to everything he had to say. "We were only scientists, alright? Our job was to monitor the teenagers inside the maze and the Glade and see if anything worth putting in our reports happened. That's it. The teenagers dies, they leave. They're still alive when they're taken out of the maze? They're taken away by some dudes and we never see them again. End of story." Mitch nodded after he had finished explaining everything and Mitch took away the pictures the boy had pointed to earlier and left only the ones he didn't know about.
