Wicked is good: The Death cure

Chapter 10

We all stood in shock. Denial.

"Gally?" I asked.

"Hey greenie" He said.

Thomas lunged foward, connecting his balled fist with Gally's face, sending him towards the floor. But as if that one punch wasn't enough, Thomas grabbed Gally's shirt to throw another one.

"Thomas no!" Newt rushed foward and grabbed Thomas's arm.

"He killed chuck" Thomas protested.

"I know I saw, I was there too remember?"

Thomas's eyes cleared and he swallowed so hard I saw his Adam's apple bob up and down. He sat up and let Gally get back on his feet.

Gally adjusted his jaw were he had been hit "I kinda had that one coming, anyone else? Fry? Y/n?"

"Do you know this guy?" Jorge asked.

"He was an old freind" Frypan returned.

"How?" Newt asked, shaking his head like he almost couldn't believe his eyes " We watched you die?"

"No, you left me to die"

Those words cut deeper than a knife. We did leave him to die, and we didn't think twice about it. I was so blinded by the fact chuck was gone, that I had completely forgotten about Gally's demise. Of course, he didn't die, he was here.

"So, would you like to explain why exactly, you're here?" Gally asked.

"It's a long story" Thomas said.

"I'll listen"

"Look Gally, we don't have time to sit down and tell a nice little bedtime story!" I said.

"Jeez what happened to you? You used to be all quiet and nice"

"I used to be all sweet and innocent Gally, then shit happened"

"Well, I like it, now you gonna tell me this little bedtime story of yours?"

I sighed, brushing my hair out of my eyes " Minho got taken by wicked, we're getting him back, that's why we're here"

"They have Minho?"

"Are you deaf or something?" I asked " yes they have Minho"

"Did you think you were just going to stroll in there and walk out with him like it's nothing? Look if you wanna get in there, fine, but you need help"

"From who?" Thomas asked.

"Come on I'll take you too him, I can explain myself on the way"

Gally took us through the place, talking as we walked "They realised I was immune, patched me up "and brought me here to Lawrence. This groups been at war with wicked ever since they took control of the city. But wicked can't hide behind those walls forever, days gonna come and they're gonna pay for what they've done"

"I think we're wasting time" I said.

"Do you have any better ideas?" Gally paused.

"Long story short I used to work for wicked, I'll find a way to get us in"

"You? Actually, probably should have figured that out since Teresa..." He stopped " Look he doesn't get a lot of visitors ok, so let me do the talking, and try not to stare"

He opened the door, walking in and we followed. There was a man, sitting not too far away from us. He had some sort of IV tube attached to him, and a bag of liquid. He was chanting something like a stuck record; over and over. "Rose took my nose I suppose. Rose took my nose I suppose. Rose took my nose I suppose"

"Gally" Lawrence stopped chanting " I'm glad to see you made it back"

"It was a slaughter. There's nothing we can do against those guns" Gally explained.

"No" He stood up and turned around, walking towards with his IV. I almost gasped at the sight of him, but stopped myself. His nose was missing. Amd his face was covered in black veins. He had the flare. "Who are these people, why are they here?

"We need to get into wicked" Thomas said "Gally said you could get us  through those walls?"

"Well Gally should know better than to make promises he can't keep, getting inside wicked is impossible"

"There might be a way now" Gally said "But it only works with Y/n"

"Is that so?" Lawrence asked coming closer " Do you know what I am? I'm a business man, which means I don't take unnecessary risks. Why should I trust you?"

"Because we can help you" I spoke up.

He turned to me, examining every inch of me, stripping me down with his eyes.

"If you can get us in there, than I can get you what you need"

He took a few, slow, loud steps, inching closer to me until I could feel his warm breath on my face "and what is it that you think I need?"

I knew what he needed because it was the very thing I needed myself " Time. Every last drop"

"Is that what I need?" He asked.

"Wicked has something we both want"

"Tell you what, three can go for now, the rest stay here. Just a little reassurance to make sure you find your way back" He said " Gally, show them the way"
