ADELAIDE

"Is that.... Teresa?" Thomas trails off, squinting at the distant silhouette.

"Yeah. Yeah she is." I say. "Thought you should've known." I nudge him.

"What does that mean?" he tilts his head in confusion.

I roll my eyes. "You're so oblivious, lover boy. The first rule in a relationship is that you always recognize the silhouette of your girlfriend." Thomas scoffs, cursing me but I don't miss the faint red rising his cheeks.

"Hey, Thomas. On a serious note, if you actually like her, ask her out."

"Looks like she couldn't resist the Thomas charm for long.." Winston smirks.

"Do you think she's the one who was screaming?" Frypan asks. "It stopped right before she stepped out." My heart skips a beat. I don't want her to get hurt and by the intensity of the shrill screams and the amount of pain the screams had, it was like, someone had set her on fire alive.

"Better be she was the one who was torturing that lady. Maybe she put her out of her misery when she saw us coming. She knew that Thomas wouldn't like it." Minho wiggles his eyebrows at Thomas at the last part. He claps loudly.

"Okay, who wants to go and meet this nice lady?"

 "I'll do." Thomas volunteers in a heartbeat.

"Ha ha. No." Minho deadpans. "We're all going. Who knows if she is held hostages by psycho girl ninjas hiding in that shack of hers, who are waiting for us to come so that they can throw their ninja-star blades on us. Or cut us in a clean half from our waist with a single slash of their samurai swords."

"Wow! Someone has been watching too much animes." I mutter under my breath.

"Only for you sweetheart." He winks at me. "Let's go."

"No!" Thomas cuts him, acting on sudden instinct..

"I'll go alone. You all stay here. I'll go and talk to her. There might be a trap and we'd be psychos ourselves if we all go and fall into the trap."

"And how are you the smart one by doing exactly that?" I ask him.

"Well, we can't just walk on by without checking the perimeters. If something happens or something gets suspicious, I'll call for help." Thomas assures me.

"What if the moment you step in, they bash your head? Or chloroform you?" Minho asks.

Thomas raises his eyebrows in amusement. "How will they find chloroform in here?"

"Okay. Go on, you little martyr shank. Go and lay down your life for us." Minho pats on his back and pushes him forward.

"This is bloody ridiculous." Newt steps forward. "Ill come with you too."
