The Last City - Newt

Newt awoke with a start, as a crank screeched outside. Teresa had clearly been woken up too by the crank.

She sighed and got up from where she was lying on the makeshift bed next to him. She looked out the window and seemed to have spotted the crank making the noise.

"Dog." She whispered. "Got too close to the crank."

He nodded. Was there still dogs in the scorch? Apparently so. Tommy seemed like a dog person.

He got up and peeked out the window, a sudden interest in the dog. The crank was closing in on the poor animal, and Newt was suddenly reminded of his own dog, back before WCKD took him.

He sighed for a moment. He was slowly getting his memories back. He couldn't tell you what name or breed the dog was, but he remembered her.

He opened the window slightly and picked up a knife Teresa had, and he aimed quickly at the cranks head, and threw it. The knife landed in the cranks eye, and the crank went down. He remembered learning how to throw knives with Brenda in the scorch while searching for Minho. He had gotten quite good at it, that and Brenda had taught him how to make a good shot. Tommy wasn't very good at it, but he thought it was funny watching Tommy almost take out Jorge with a hunting knife.

The dog began to sniff all around the crank, wondering what had just happened.

"Using valuable materials to kill a crank, for a dog i might add, is not good for our survival." Teresa said. She sounded like a brat.

Newt ignored her and opened the door to the apartment. He took with him a gun, and made his way down the stairs quickly and quietly. He opened the door to the building and the dog looked up at him. He motioned for the dog to follow him, and the dog did.

He ran up the stairs with the dog, and back into the room with the dog by his feet. He locked the door quickly and bent down to see the animal. The animal was far too skinny, and there was crusted dirt on it's fur.

He checked the collar of the dog, and her name was Daisy. Newt wondered if the dog belonged to someone who lived in The Last City.

Teresa handed him half a can of cold soup, and Newt mushed around and gave Daisy the meat within the soup.

"Why did you go and get a dog?" She asked.

"Why did ya betray us to WCKD?" He fired back.

"I did it to save humanity!" She almost yelled.

"I did it to save the dog." He said back.

She groaned and turned around started grumbling about how this would be a long journey.

"We're going out to search for food, water and supplies today. Then we're on our way to where ever they were last." Teresa said.

Newt thought for a moment. They were at the beach, and only one boat was left before they went to WCKD.

"How long since WCKD burned?" He asked.

"A week and a half."

"We're going to need a new plan then." He stated.

"What?" She retorted.

"Vince planned on leaving as soon as we got back, if not before. But saying as the berg was there, he was simply picking up the ones that survived and high tailing back. The boat is long gone by now." Newt explained.

"So what do you suggest we do?" She asked.

Newt thought for a moment. He never came up with plans, he left that to Thomas. Tommy always had a plan.
