"Good plan Thomas. 'Just hear what the man has to say', Really working out for us" Mihno called out.
The group all hung by their ankles, the rope burning against their skin.If they were to fall they'd crash to the first floor.
"Yeah real good plan I gotta admit" Charlotte added as she rocked lightly from side to side.
"Oh shut up you two" Thomas muttered under his breath. "Maybe I can reach the rope" He added.
He attempted to pull his upper body towards the rope above him but failed miserably. He grunted as he gave up and returned to his upside down position.
"Yeah, no. You can't reach the rope" Miles deadpanned.
"Enjoying the view?"
Charlotte tried to twist her body around as she looked out from the corner of her eye to see Jorge standing beside the lever controlling the ropes.
"Actually yeah, nice place you got here" Charlotte told the man as he chuckled. The room was dark, the light from the moon shone down above then and a couple small lights were hung up but they didn't do much.
"What the hell do you want?" Thomas questioned.
"That is the question" Jorge sighed.
"Yeah and if that's 'the question' then whats 'the answer' huh?" Charlotte asked.
"My men want to sell you back to WCKD. Life has taught them to think small. I'm not like that. Something tells me that you're not either" Jorge explained.
"Is the blood rushing to my head, or is this shank not making any sense?" Mihno squinted as he caught sight of the man.
"Feeling a little lightheaded myself" Miles said.
Jorge ignored the boys comments as he glared at them. "Tell me what you know about the Right Arm"He ordered.
"I thought you said they were ghosts" Newt protested.
"I happen to believe in ghosts. Especially when I hear them chattering on the airwaves" Jorge places his hand on the lever, "You tell me what you know, and maybe we can a deal" He said as he held his walking stick out in our direction.
"We-We don't know much" Thomas told him.
Jorge sent us death stares before pulling the lever slightly, all of us falling a little, Charlottes heart jumped in her chest as she came to an abrupt stop.
"Woah. Woah, okay! Okay all right" Thomas blurted out. "They're hiding in the mountains"
"They took a bunch of kids from the WCKD facility too" Mackenzie added quietly as her heart began to return to its normal pace.
