We pounced up from behind the rocks to see Thomas on the now stationary train. We Ran ahead towards the train as Thomas jumped down.

"This one Newt" He banged his hand on the side.

Newt got to work, detaching the carriage from the rest of train. I stood by with my gun in hand, prepared for anyone who might come and attack while Newt was busy. Brenda and Jorge were no where to be seen in the sandy, vacant space. Hopefully, they were managing fine. We had to try and work quickly because the wicked workers caught on to what we were doing and were trying to refrain us. We just needed to get our friend back, we couldn't leave Minho behind.

"Newt are you almost done?!" Thomas shouted down.

"Don't rush me!"

"Ok but seriously Newt hurry up!" I told him.

Not long later, Vince came over to us just as Newt had finished. Wicked started shooting at us, so we had to get a move on.

"Y/n, Newt get up there now!" Vince said "pass the gun!"

I tossed him my gun and hurried over to the ladders climbing up onto the roof of the train carriage. Newt quickly followed after me. As soon as we got on top we laid down on our stomachs to avoid getting caught in the crossfire.

"We're the hell are they?" Newt asked, his voice straining.

"I don't know" Thomas replied.

"Well they need to get here!"

Just then, a berg came flying directly above us. Thomas grabbed a hold of the hook lowering down and attached it to the carriage.

"Vince get up here!" I shouted to him.

The burg ascended into the air, starting to lift the carriage from the ground. Vince jumped up, grabbing a firm hold of the ladders and climbing up unharmed. We got lifted into the air, high enough so that we couldn't be shot at anymore. We all erupted into cheers  and hugged at our victory, pleased that we managed to successfully save everyone.

I exhaled the air from my lungs that I didn't realise I was holding in. My whole body relaxed, my muscles releasing all the tension.

"That was bloody hard work" Newt panted.

When we got back to our camp, the carriage was lowered safely with us still on top of it. After it was safely placed on the ground, we all got down while Newt worked on getting the door unlocked. As soon as the door was opened, we all rushed in to search for our friend. Harriet went to Sonya and Aris seeing if they were ok. I looked around for Minho but I couldn't find the dark haired boy.

I paused in perplexity looking between my friends " He's not here "

Why wasn't he on the train?
