The Last City - Newt

The next morning, before sunrise, Teresa and Newt packed up all food, ammo and medical supplies, as well as anything they thought to bring with them.

Being with The Right Arm for so long, Newt knew there was never enough food, and there was always mouths to feed. Even if it wasn't a lot, it could still help.

After they had packed everything up and put it in the car, Newt picked up Mason and motioned for Daisy to follow before heading down and jumping into the passenger seat next to Teresa, who was adamant on driving again.

The drive was short and by the time they were there Jayden, Emmeline, Lucy and Evan were all walking up towards the unit with the berg. They had bags and a crate, probably filled with food and supplies.

"Nice wheels. This the kid you found?" Jayden asked. Mason stood behind Newt, clutching his jacket.

Newt wanted his old jacket back. Maybe they kept it for him.

"Yeah, Mason, meet Emmeline, Lucy, Jayden and Evan." Mason waved. He was clearly still afraid of new people, and they were an intimidating group of people.

They loaded up the berg and Emmeline went to the drivers end, the rest of them followed, as Newt would need to give directions to last place they were, and the rest just didn't want to be in the back alone.

Emmeline started the berg and they all cheered.

Finally they were getting out of this hellhole.

Teresa anxiously sat on a bench cracking her knuckles. Newt starting telling Emmeline where to fly as Mason sat on the floor with Daisy.

Once they were on route, they knew it would be a bit before they even got to the dock.

"I have to tell you guys something now." Teresa said suddenly. Everyone looked up at her except Emmeline, who was focused on flying.

"People at the Safe Haven are going to be a bit, erm, angry with me. I understand why, even though I'm not sorry for all my actions, only some, I need you guys to know why now." She said. Everyone was staring at her now, and Emmeline had to turn her head back towards the sky to keep flying in the right direction.

"I sort of, well I told WCKD the place where The Right Arm was located. I sold out most of my friends, including Newt, who didn't get taken, but his friend Minho did."

"Ah, so that's why you were kind of mean to her sometimes." Jayden said to Newt. Despite the dark turn of conversation, he still had a small grin on his face.

"That's fucked up, Teresa." Lucy spitting her words.

"I just wanted to find a cure, okay? I needed to. I've found a cure now and WCKD is gone, so I can't sell anyone out anymore but I just- people will still be angry. I let them be tortured for months." She was close to tears, and Newt felt sort of sorry for her, but he was also going to make her apologize to everyone. Even if he had somewhat forgiven her, everyone else still had a right to be angry.

Evan had gone quiet and Mason looked afraid and backed himself into a corner. Daisy had stood in front of Teresa, in a somewhat protective stance. Emmeline starred directly out the windshield, her knuckles turning white on the steering wheel.

"Who got tortured?" She asked calmly. Teresa's eyes widened. She wasn't expecting this question.

"Erm, um, well Minho obviously, and um a few kids who's names I didn't know, they didn't come from WCKD their parents hid them well, and um, Aris, and uh, Miyoko-" Emmeline's knuckles had turned ghostly white from gripping the steering wheel so hard.
