Katri sat near one of the graves in the Deadheads and looks at one of the graves touching it gently. Her ocean eyes had tears falling down her face. "James, I have to ask, am I doing the right thing?" asks the young girl. "We just had two incidents where two people got stung in broad daylight..."
Katri sighs a little bit looking down. "I feel like a failure because I couldn't protect them. And then this new kid ups and tells me to stay in one spot so nothing happened to me. What do I do, James? I did nothing. And then, this note shows up on this other girl and she's the last one? I'm so confused on what we should be doing..."
She stands up wiping her eyes gently. "I know you can't hear me; I know you're not really there." Katri sighs a little bit. "But – coming here and talking is helping me a lot. Thank you, James." She blows him a kiss walking out of the Deadheads passing the stream, grabbing some water and throwing it on her skin trying to get some dirt off, and splashes it on her face getting a little more dirt off.
"I got this!"

"Really?" Katri heard Newt speak from the hut as she walks in. "Because she seemed to recognize you." Newt's tone sounded fairly harsh.
"Newt," Katri started making him look at her while Thomas and Chuck both turn around seeing her walk in and frown. "I know you're going to say we need to worry about it later, but we need to focus on the note she came up with."
"I hate that you know me," Newt rolls his eyes playfully making her chuckle. "You know as well as I do that we have enough to deal with at the moment."
"They're right, Newt," They all look at Jeff who stares at Newt. "If the Box isn't coming back up, how long do you think we can last?"
"No one said that" Newt shakes his head. "Let's not jump to any conclusions. We'll just wait until she wakes up and see what she knows. Somebody has gotta have the answers around here."
"Okay..." Thomas mutters out and begins walking out, passing by the young girl who looks back and jogs after him.
"Where the hell do you think you're going?" Katri asks after Thomas who stops, turning to her.
"Back into the Maze."
"Hey," Katri sees Minho walking up to her and stands near her. Newt comes by her as well. "What is this with you, huh? A death wish? You just got out and now you want back in?"
Thomas sighs in irritation turning his head to the Maze and then back to the trio in front of him. "Newt said that no one seen a Griever and lived to tell about it, right? Minho, now we have one. You're telling you're not even a little bit curious?"
Minho stares at him and sighs. "Not really, no." Thomas shakes his head, turning to walk towards the Maze but Katri rushes and steps in front of him touching his shoulders with her hands. "So, what's the plan?" Minho catches up and asks him. "You're gonna go out and dissect that thing all by yourself?"
"I will if I have too," Thomas nods. "Have the other Runners left yet?"
"The other Runners quit this morning," Minho gestures across the Glade, where the ex-Runners stood talking with Gally. "After Alby got stung, they're not in any hurry to get back out there. Why are you?"
"I think it's time we find out what we're really up against." Thomas admits, glancing at the Maze.
Katri sighs a little bit, turning to Minho who looks at her. They both nod at one another. "Alright, but you're not going out there alone. Meet us in the woods in a half-an-hour." With that, Minho walks off.
"What does he mean by that?"
"You'll just have to see, Greenie." Katri states releasing his shoulders and then walks back to Newt and begins telling him everything.
Thomas turns his head seeing the young girl finish talking to Newt and rushes off somewhere. When Newt told him she was the only one here for a month by herself, it must've been lonely. Especially when there was no one to talk too. It must've been difficult for her for the whole month. How did the young girl end up not going crazy for the whole month?
"Katri usually joins later on 'cause she has mapped it more than any of us" He remembers Newt telling him.
Was she alone when she was mapping out the Maze? Or did anyone help her when she was going out there by herself?

A half hour later, Thomas walks up seeing Minho, Zart, Frypan and Katri standing there. Pacing a little bit.
"Will this be enough?" Minho asks, gesturing to the three boys and Katri who nods towards Thomas who nods towards Minho.
"Okay," Thomas sighs quietly. "Let's go."
With that, the five of them ran across the Glade and into the Maze. Thomas and Minho stayed in front while Zart and Frypan pulled up the middle while Katri stayed in back making sure no one got hurt. They turned many corners before Minoh and Thomas came into a stop. Katri steps forward seeing the Griever dead in the Wall. Katri slowly walked to it with the boys following her.
"That's disgusting..." Zart comments making a face while Katri slowly nodded in agreement.
"There's something in there..." Thomas murmurs, looking more closely.
"You mean, besides the Griever pancake?" questions Frypan.
Minho looks to Thomas and Katri who all share the same look. Pinching her lips, Katri walks up slowly.
"Whoa, Katri!" Zart starts in shock. "What are you doing?"
Katri rolls her eyes slowly, putting her hand in-between the Walls trying to get whatever Thomas saw. Suddenly, the Griever moves making the boys jump back and Katri yank her arm back quickly.
"I thought you said it was dead!" Frypan recalls in shock.
"Was it a reflex?" asks Zart.
"Let's hope..." Katri mutters with a sigh.
"Okay, come on," Thomas stated walking up grabbing the metal leg. "Let's try and pull it out." The others grab the leg. "Alright, ready?" As everyone nods. "On three. One, two, three!" With that, the five of them pull on the leg.
Katri pinches her lips tightly, as they finally pull the leg out. Frypan fell to the ground while Thomas helps him up giving him a pat on the back. Katri and Minho walk up while Minho grabs the device from the Grievers guts. Their faces scrunch up in disgust as Katri takes her hand and wipes it off.
"Ugh..." Katri groans in disgust shaking her hand to get the slime off. "What the hell is this?"
"Interesting..." Minho mumble quietly inspecting it, Katri hands it to him.
"Okay, whatever it is..." Frypan begins looking at everyone. "Can we take this up back at the Glade? Because I don't wanna meet this guy's friends."
"He's right," Minho agrees while Katri nods. "It's getting late, come on."
