Since We Were Kids // Death Cure (Newt x Reader)

Chapter Nineteen

I'm so sorry for the wait😭

"Would you give it a rest. I'm almost finished," Gally says, frustrated with the steel door in front of him.

Although his back is to me, I hold my hands out in defense. "I didn't do shit."

"You're pacing back and forth. And I can practically hear you breathing from over here," He says.

"Well you're stressing me out," I reply, deeply annoyed that he's annoyed and thinking I'm annoying. "We need to get out of here."

It hasn't been that long since Newt, Thomas and Teresa left, but Gally is doing who knows what and I'm over here wondering when the hell he's gonna be finished. The kids from the cells are here too, and I tried to reassure them, telling them that they're all going to be fine if they just stick with us. I just hope they actually do. Time is limited and I need to get Newt the serum.

"Okay," Gally says, making his way away from the door. "We need to get out of here."

"Glad we're on the same page," I reply. He glares at me in response.

"Alright," he says sternly to the kids. "Let's go."

After running through a labyrinth  of hallways, we make it outside into a parking garage. We're running down a ramp that's leading us further in.
Its more than obvious Gally knows exactly where he's going.

"Stay low, stay low!" He shouts loud enough for everyone to here. We lower our backs while jogging against a cement wall. The florescent lights above us makes my head pound and my eyes tired.

"Brenda! Where are you? We're here," Gally says frantically into his walkie-talkie.

We're still running around a corner in the garage, and about to cross a road to the other side when all of a sudden a bus comes to a halt right in front of us.

I barely have time to register whats about to happen when Brenda swipes open the window in the drivers seat of the bus.

She smirks. "Come on, let's go!"

"Alright let's go!" Gally exclaims. "Quickly, quickly!" He motions toward the door.

Brenda opens it from the inside. "Come on, let's go," I murmur to the kids, anxious to get out of here.

I watch Brenda's face drop. "Wait- where's Thomas?"

"I- I thought they'd be with you by now," I reply as panic reaches me. Then it occurs to me- Thomas never said they would meet us here. They went to search for Minho. "Fuck! We should've made sure- shit shit shit."

Brenda has a horrified look on her face and is stepping down the steps of the bus.

"No just- wait here. I'll find them," Gally says.

"I'll come. Brenda, you stay here with the kids," I say.

"Teddy—" she starts.

"Please," I almost plead. "I have to go I just—" have to see Minho. And make sure Newt's okay.

The look on my face must say it all because as she doesn't say another word, just nods.

"Just wait for us, ok?" Gally says. "Teddy, mask on. Follow me."

~~~

"Hey gally?" I whisper to him while jogging along a building. I steady the heavy mask covering my face with one hand, while holding a gun with the other.

"Yeah?" He replies, annoyance in his tone.

"3 o'clock."

He must glance through his mask to the right because the only word he says is, "Fuck."
