Play bury a friend by Billie Eilish - on repeat

Dark slowly taking over the grey sky, the street's once again busy. People wearing masks, all dressed smartly coming home from work. Teresa, wearing a frown on her face from the stress of the day walking with the crowd.

Focused at the ground she only looked ahead as the bus passed and she went to walk forwards. Looking up she saw Thomas, wearing a hoodie under his jacket using it to put a hood up around him. Him staring right at her.

As another bus passed, blocking her vision, the bus leaving again. She saw the back of Thomas walking away. After a moment of shock she quickly speed walked in efforts to follow him.

Turning her head as they were both now in the station, she looked to see Thomas walking into the deserted part of the station. "Thomas?" she called out.

He didn't reply. Turning a corner she saw a glimpse of his face causing her to walk faster.

As she turned the same corner she arrived in an empty isolated corridor , looking around she couldn't see him anywhere. Hearing movement behind her she turned round to see Thomas standing before her in the midst of taking his hood down. "Thomas." she breathed out.

"Hey, Teresa." he said, his voice low and depressed.

"You shouldn't be here." She told him. "If Janson finds out you're here.."

"I'm not staying." he interpreted."It's just, uh," he said walking forwards, "I had to see you. I have to ask you something. Do you regret it? What you did to us?"

"Sometimes" she weakly replied. "But I did what thought was right. I'd do it again."

"Good," Thomas said bitterly.

Before Teresa could say anything her face was covered by darkness.

As Gally lifted the cloth from Teresa, she looked round the room to see; Thomas, Newt, Brenda, Jorge, Gally and Frypan. "Gally?" Teresa questioned.

"Here's how this is gonna go. We're gonna ask you some questions, and you're gonna tell us exactly what we need to know." Gally stated. "We'll start off simple, Where's Minho?"

"You guys seriously don't think..." she started.

But was interrupted by Gally harshly placing a chair backwards in front of Teresa and sitting on it. "Don't look at him. Why you looking at him? Look at me. He's not gonna help you."

Before anyone could say anything else they heard the door to the building open. Jorge quickly aimed his pistol at the doorway. "I come in peace." Athena shouted still out of sight. "Oh hello." she said sarcastically to Teresa, as she rolled in a suitcase, a bag on top of the suitcase and a backpack on her back.

"You got us a way in?" Thomas asked.

"Off course." she replied, setting the stuff on the ground and leaning on the back of Newts chair.

"Now, we know you have Minho in the building." Gally continued interrogating. "Where?"

"He's with the others in holding." Teresa replied looking at the ground.

"Did Thomas give her the silent treatment?" Athena whispered in Newt's ear. To which he turned and nodded, both holding little smirks.

"Sub-level three." Teresa explained.

"How many others?" Newt asked.

"28"

"I can make that work." Brenda replied, after getting a nod from Athena.
