Maze runner: Impossible Destiny

3

According to my watch, it was half past twelve, I had just enough time to sneak out, bypass all the guards and climb to the Scout.

I carefully turned the doorknob, praying to God along the way not to creak like this morning.

Yes, it is true that I have trained well in this so far, almost so much that I know by heart the schedule of the guards at this time. It is clear to me that Thomas chose this time to see each other for a reason. There are no guards near me then, and I can easily retreat into the dark shadows of the night, so that I can be completely invisible.

The door opened without a sound.

I crossed my arms over my chest. "So?", I asked him, raising my eyebrows.

Thomas scratched the back of his head, obviously not knowing where to start. He was shaking  his foot, obviously a little nervous. Maybe he didn't notice, but I did.

I always notice.

"Well, if that's all, can I go?", I asked him again.

He reacted quickly. "No, no. I just... I just don't know where to start."

"Let's start from the moment when that old buddy drove me away. What did he tell you? And was it so urgent that you had to march out of the canteen without explanation?", otherwise I would say something worse, but I know it's not his fault because he was obviously needed by the leaders. What if it is something so important? If he decides to tell me, maybe I would understand the situation and justify his behavior.

"Something happened."

"No shit, Sherlock."

He was silent for a second, then gathered himself and said, " There were more of them than usual. Newt got too close. The infected have caught him," he paused again, as if reconciling himself to the truth, "... it's not good. He's in the infirmary, and the others don't know what to do. Without him... "

Everything failed.

Newt is Thomas' best friend, and one of the few I actually trust. So that's why I didn't notice him when I was looking for Thomas! And Minho must be in the infirmary with him...

Newt is infected.
