We sat down at a small table over looking the glade. I didn't realised just how hungry I had actually been. Flo suddenly interrupted my thoughts.
She bit into her sandwich.
"Ok Newt, there are five roles around here" she said.
"Slicers, Baggers, med-jacks, builders and....runners" her voice fell at the last part, but before I could ask about these 'runners' she cut me off.
"there are keepers for each job...the keeper is the head of that job...the leader of that section, you understand"
"Yea" I replied.
"Ok...hears what you need to know....I'm second in command" she said pointing to herself.
"Annie" she pointed to to what I guessed must be the building people go when they get hurt.
"She's the leader...like I said yesterday...she was the first one to come up...." She said pointing to the box.
"Then there's Audrey and Lena...Lena's the keeper of the runners" she pointed to the wall. She looked at the expression on my face.
"Curious huh? Runners go out there and map the maze, trace it tryin to find a way out" I looked at her.
"But don't get your hopes up greenie, only the best if the best are runners, you have to be chosen" before she could say anything else a girl walked over.
"Sup Flo" she said. The girl was tall and pretty. With dirty blonde hair and hazel green eyes.
"Hey greenie!" She said happily jumping in between us.
"This" Flo said putting her hand on the girls shoulder.
"This is Lou! Keeper of the builders!"
"That's me!" Lou said smiling.
"Nice to meet you!" I smiled,
"Names Newt!"
"Ooh greenie talks!" She said happily
"Well I better be off" she said
"Bye Newt!" She said patting me on the back.
"Bye Flo!" She winked at the girl. Then walked off.
"So...who have we covered..." She counted them off on her fingers
"Me, Audrey, Lena, Lou, Annie...umm...Mia!"
"Mia! That girl that ran over to us yesterday...she's the keeper of the Baggers" she paused, as if deep in thought.
"Then there's Sophia, Keeper of the Med-jacks and then there's Rachel keeper of the slicers.. Yea yea that's everyone!" She said, proudly.
