Newt sat silently in the living room listening to the werewolves arguing. He hadn't said a word in over twenty minutes. He was sitting in one of the chairs cross legged and had his hands stuffed into the pockets of his-Tommy's hoodie. The hoodie was already beginning to smell less and less like Tommy and more and more like Newt. Something he despised but knew there was nothing he could do about.

 It was really beginning to hit Newt that for the first time in years he was truly alone. None of the people he really knew were here with him, instead he was surrounded by Tommy's old friends. He didn't really know any of them and none of them knew him. He'd only interacted with some of them once and others (Scott) he just didn't like in general and now he was stuck in a house with them. His friends from the safe haven nowhere in sight, all either taken by WICKED or hiding somewhere else in town.

Newt had always been good at talking to people, back in the Glade he was really good at helping the greenies adapt to their new life. He knew exactly what to say to keep them calm and he also knew what would set them off and freak them out. It was always like that until Tommy came up and then he just wouldn't stop asking his bloody questions. 

Newt really misses Tommy's questions right now. He'd gladly trade anything just to know that he'd get to hear his voice again. Newt knew that Tommy and Minho were definitely at WICKED and he knew the others were probably at WICKED because so far there was no sign of them in town. Not yet at least, they could be out there right now making their way back to their vehicles for all they knew but Scott didn't want to leave the safety of the house.

 He'd been thrown off by the loss of almost all his pack, Newt knew the feeling. He'd felt the same when he'd had to watch Minho, Sonya and Aris be dragged away in the Berg back in the scorch. The only difference was that he had Tommy beside him, and he wouldn't let any of them give up. He wanted to fight and to find their friends, so he hadn't stopped. He hadn't let any of them give up on the others because he's Tommy and he refused to give up on anyone ever. Even Teresa, although Newt knew that she was unsavable, WICKED had their claws in deep with her. 

 In a way Newt can see resemblance there between Tommy and Scott, they both were too stubborn to give up. Scott just needed someone to push him to keep going, someone to make sure that he couldn't stop and give up. Someone who Scott currently doesn't seem to have.

Newt's mind drifts away from Scott and goes back to what Theo said earlier, about how WICKED was draining Tommy of his blood and how he could barely stand on his own. He'd said that when Minho and Tommy had burst through the door, Minho was practically carrying Tommy.

 And then he'd said that they'd stabbed him, that WICKED had stabbed Teresa and so they'd stabbed Tommy. It doesn't make any sense, if they wanted Tommy's blood for their cure then why would they injure him in such a way where they'd lose tons of his blood. 

For a split second Newt sees Tommy lying on the cold concrete floor, blood spilling from the gunshot wound in his chest where Janson had shot him. He could almost feel the concrete under his knees as he sank to the ground with Tommy.  No, Janson hadn't shot him. Newt shook the thought and the image away, they were just dreams. He's freaked out and tired and worried about Tommy so his minds giving him nightmares about his worst fear, losing Tommy. 

Newt looks around the room, everyone was still arguing with each other, Scott wanted to wait. He wanted to wait at least another couple of hours before leaving incase any of their pack are still out there. Liam's on board from what Newt can tell, he's standing beside Scott with his arms crossed across his chest, almost as if he's had to cross them to stop himself from moving around while he talks.

 Isaac and Theo don't want to wait, both of them already think that WICKED has everyone else and that there's no point sitting around wasting time when their friends are in danger. Scott mentions going to look for someone called Ethan who him and Isaac had apparently run into when everyone was bolting in different directions from the cranks before making any further move to find WICKED.
