Thomas stared at the empty corridor in front of him. It was dimly lit by flickering light bulbs. He stepped into the hallway, his heart beating hard.
It was so quiet that he could hear the blood rush in his ears, the silence making it sound 10 times louder then it really was. His handcuffs were rubbing against his wrists, making them soar and itchy. Thomas tried to pull them off, remembering Chancellor Paige telling him that they would break if he pulled hard enough. He pulled hard, but the handcuffs didn't budge.
Thomas sighed. They must've switched the handcuffs while he was passed out. Giving up, he continued back down the hall.
So many questions were racing through his head, like why did he pass out? Did Chancellor Paige know this would happen? The question that Thomas asked himself the most was the most disturbing. Was Teresa okay? Or did the creators send her to the Scorch?
Soon Thomas came across a door. Confused, he stared at it for a while. There was no doorknob, just a slab of metal in the wall. He pushed the door, slamming his whole body against the it until his entire right side felt numb. The door didn't budge.
Frustrated, Thomas walked away. That's when he heard the sound of rusty hinges as the door swung open.
