As Thomas' hazel eyes shot open, he gasped for air, staring up at the white ceiling. "Hey, hey, you're okay." A familiar female voice spoke, shaking him slightly. He looked to the left of him slightly to see Teresa sitting next to him, "Hi" after a few moments of silence, "We have to stop meeting like this."

"Welcome back, you ugly shank." Minho said once he stood next to Teresa.

With a grunt Thomas pushed himself to sit up, to see Jorge talking with the blonde guy from earlier "I suggest you talk!" he threatened, after silence he walked up to the tied up man "You son of a bitch!" he cried and punched the man straight in the face.

"Damn it!" the man cried, "i'm sorry, you're going to have to leave my house." he said as Thomas walked up to the two.

Thomas quickly looked around the room to see: Brenda and Aris sitting on a sofa, Frypan sat on a chair across the room, Teresa sat on the bed he was just on, Minho standing next to her, Newt leaning against a large night stand his arms bracing him up and Athena sat on the table next to him staring at the blonde man with fire in her eyes and twisting a familiar knife between her fingers.

"Looks like you've been having fun." Newt said sarcastically to Thomas as Minho and Thomas stood next to him.

"Listen. I don't enjoy hurting you." Jorge stated.

"Uh-huh" the man whimpered.

"Okay? But I think she would love to." gesturing to Athena, "Where is the Right Arm Marcus?"

"Wait, this is Marcus?" Thomas asked in disbelief.

Marcus chuckled in his seat, "The kid catches on quick, unlike your friend who knew from the start, so I had my reasons for giving you that drink."

Jorge grabbed his blonde hair and pulled it so his head was tilted upwards "I know you know where they're hiding. So you tell me and I'll make a deal." he finished as he released his hair. The man just giggled. "You could come with us."

"I burned that bridge a long time ago. Besides, I made my own deal." he said, causing Jorge's eyebrows to furrow, "you're the one who taught me to never miss an opportunity."

"What's he talking about?" Newt asked.

"I'm talking about supply and demand." the man announced "WKD wants all the immunes they can get. I help provide that for them. So I lure the kids in and they get drunk, they have a good time." he explained, causing Athena to scoff.

"And then you give them to WCKD, just like the other low lifes that tried to." Athena spoke, as she stood up and walked next to Jorge in front of Marcus.

"Basically." the man agreed, "I don't worry, Sweetie. I've heard about you. I would be paid good money to hand you over."

"They would kill you before you even got the money, from what we've seen." Newt snapped back.

"Well from what I've heard she's more likely to kill me, then anyone from Wicked is." Marcus replied, laughing at the end of the sentence.

Jorge saw a look of hurt strike over Athena's features, he turned his attention back to Marcus. "I've changed my mind, hermano." he said calmly, "I do enjoy hurting you." and he kicked Marcus in the chest causing the chair to tumble backwards.

Jorge crouched down over the man's body and pointed the loaded gun directly at Marcus' beaten up face. "Talk!" he threatened.

"Okay! Jesus!" Marcus fret. "But i'm not making any promises. These guys like to move around." he started to explain, Frypan and Jorge quickly pulled the chair back up onto all fours.
