"Alice. Barry. Walt. Edgar. Samantha." Ratman read off the names from his list.
"I wanna know what's through that door." Thomas said to all of us at the table.
"Aaron."
"Now, we've been over this. You said they were covered up, so you don't know what you saw." Newt told Thomas, trying to knock some sense into him.
"Dennis."
"It could've been anything under there." Minho told him.
"I know exactly what I saw. They were bodies. Ask (Y/N)." Thomas defended.
"Hey! Leave me out of this." I said with my hands raised.
"Sally." Ratman continued.
"Aris said they bring in a new batch every night." Thomas told them.
"Who the hell is Aris?" Fry asked, confused and Thomas pointed subtly at Aris.
"Henry. Tim."
"Well, I'm sold." Minho said sarcastically and I nudged him, giving him a 'be nice' look.
"And last but not least, David." Ratman finished his list. "Thank you for your attention. Enjoy the rest of your evening." He walked away, leading the doomed kids through the blocked doorway.
"Okay, until we know anything for certain, we should just keep our heads down... and try not to draw any attention to ourselves, all right?" Newt tried just before Thomas stood up and walked towards the doorway.
"What is he doing?" Fry asked and I shrugged.
"I think he's drawing attention to himself." We all stood up and went after the dark haired boy.
"Hang on. You weren't called." The guard said as he stopped Thomas.
"I know, I'm just gonna be a second." Thomas tried but it didn't work.
"This is a restricted area, kid."
"I just wanna see my friend. Can you let me through?" Thomas was getting frustrated.
"Get your ass back in that chair." The guard jabbed him in the chest with his finger.
"Back off! What's your problem, man?" Thomas asked and he jumped at the guard. Minho and I quickly grabbed him and pulled them apart. "What the hell, huh?"
"Back off!" The guard yelled.
"Why won't you let me see her?"
"Control your friend!" The guard told us as Ratman walked over to the scene.
"What's happening here?" He asked us. "Thomas? I thought we could trust each other. You know we're all on the same team here."
"Are we?" Thomas sassed and I sighed. Way to let him know we're onto them.
"Get them to their bunks." Ratman ordered and we were all taken to our room.
"Get your asses in there! All of you!" The guard yelled as he shut the door behind us.
"What the hell was that about?" Minho asked him, sounding annoyed.
"You didn't really think they were just gonna let you through?" Newt asked him as they stood unnecessarily close.
"Nah, of course I didn't." Thomas held up the key card. "I'm gonna find out what's on the other side of that door."
"Right." Newt sighed, looking away from Thomas.
