The Unexpected Maze Runners

Chap 19: WICKED

Haley's pov.

(The Next day)

I stuck the object in my backpack as Kylie and I walked quickly to Alby who was in the gardens talking to one of the Track-hoes. "They took Zart, Miles, Henry, and Fred. I just hope that we can get out of here soon. They stopped sending up supplies in the box." He started to leave but we stopped him. "Hey Alby, can we talk to you in private." Kylie asked nervously.

"Yeah sure. Come on." He gestured you the Map room. We follow him. "So what's you girls?" Alby asked closing the door behind us. "Ok well, its about this." I said taking the object out of my backpack and handed it to Alby. He took it quickly and looked at it in astonishment. "Wh... where did you get this?" He stuttered looking over every detail to it.

"Minho said that he found it in a griever in the maze the last day he was in there. That was about three days ago. He gave it to me last night but we couldn't find you." I told him everything that Minho told me. Alby listened to every detail and asked little questions. "So can Kylie come with me to check it out today." I asked as both of us put on our best puppy dog face. He looked like he was in deep thought.

After what seemed like forever, he sighed. "Ok but I am expecting good news girls." Kylie got up, squealed, and hugged Alby. He was shocked at first but then he hugged her back. As soon as she let go, someone came bursting through the door behind us. I turned around to see Chuck in the doorway, panting heavly. "Hey Chuck, what's wrong?" Kylie asked walking away from Alby and next to Chuck.

"T- *gasp* Thomas *gasp* knows *gasp* who put *gasp* us here *gasp*." He wheezed. I stared at him as he got his breathe back. "Really? Who? How do you know this?" Alby bombed him with his questions. "Well. I was going to get some fertilizer for the Track-hoes when I heard people talking. I followed the voices and found Thomas, Gally, and Melody talking. Gally asked Thomas who WICKED was. He said that they are the ones that sent him there."

Chuck tells us as we listen to every word. "What does that mean?" I ask confused. "Does it stand for something?" "Actually, it does. He then tells them that it stands for World In Castope; Killzone Experiment Department." The little curly haired boy tells us.

What could that mean? Was the world in danger? Whats the killzone? I had so many question, but nobody has the answers for me. "Also, Thomas has a little sliver round object dug into the skin of his neck. It was glowing. I looked suspicious." He adds. What could that be? Then an alarm blares throughout the room.
