Thomas's Pov

Welp, the FBI found us . . . we're all sitting inside a room at their facility that kinda reminds me of WCKD. 

"Tommy!"

I heard Newt's voice.

"Uh, sorry." I said really not caring about the subject Agent McCall was going to talk about. "Are you okay, love? You zoned out again." I nodded and tried to not zone out while my boyfriend held my hand in his.

"Guys." Agent McCall spoke. "This may sound crazy due to the . . . things you've gone through, but . . . we've found some of your families." Some of the Gladers gasped, others stared at the agent like they just saw a ghost, others complained. "Guys." I tried to call them. "Guys!" I tried again. I looked at Newt, he turned his head towards me as asking 'Do you want me to handle it?' and I nodded and waited for his mom side to come out.

"LISTEN TO YOUR FATHER!"

Everyone shut up, I mean with the exception of Agent McCall, who was trying to contain his laughter. (a/n: I literally had to contain my laughter) Then he laughed and became serious again.

"St- Thomas." What was he going to say? "Why did he call you 'father'?" You're lucky he didn't say it in a different way. (a/n: 😈😉 Idk why I wrote that . . .) "Um . . . 'Cause I'm kinda like the dad of the group?" Tbh, I don't even know why I got that nickname. "Okay? . . ."

"Anyway, Thomas, your family lives in Beacon Hills, California." Beacon Hills . . . Why does the name sound familiar? But . . . "What if I don't wanna go back?" Agent McCall's face looked shocked and then became serious. "Thomas." He sighed. "I suggest you to go back. Your friends and family have been looking for you for a long time." He paused, looked at everyone and spoke. "And the same for all of you. But," 'But'? He said 'but'? "In case you don't wanna go back, I'll try to keep you guys together. Thomas and Minho," he pointed at us (a/n: Btw, Minho is on Thomas's left and Newt is on his right) "You need to go back. Thomas, you know why, and the same goes for you, Minho." Hm, do our families know each other? Newt got close to my ear and whispered "Am I going to go with you?" I just shrugged in response and asked Agent McCall. "Okay, I'm going, but with otwo conditions." Agent McCall nodded. "Newt goes and stays with me and the others, is they decide to stay near us, will have a house near mine." He stayed silent, thinking about the conditions, and finally, accepted them. "Very well then. You'll leave tomorrow at 8 am and those who want to go to their families will leave at 12 pm." And with that, he left our room.

"Well, that went well."

Third Person's Pov

The Gladers that went with Thomas, have already left. Thomas, Newt and Minho were dropped outside the police station while the other Gladers were going to be dropped at their new house.

Thomas's Pov

09:00 am

We -Minho, Newt and I- were dropped outside the police station, and Agent McCall stayed with us to make sure we don't run away.

"You guys ready?"

Newt nodded, Minho cursed, then said yes and I just shrugged.

"Remember, your parents and teachers-" We groaned 'cause we don't like school, it's boring. "Already know what happened to you, so they won't ask a lot of questions."
