to love too late

chapter 29 || train cars

Another day in the Scorch. We've been here for nearly six months now. It's weird to think that we left the maze half a year ago. I mean, I remember being in the Glade, working as a med-jack with all of my friends. But now, nearly half of them have died taking me here. 

Now, we were on our mission. Our mission to get Minho back. Adrenaline filled through my body, we all would be able to see him.

I sat behind a rock with Newt, Thomas and Vince were waiting in a car for the train, and Brenda and Jorge were hijacking a Berg. Apparently, Wicked has been moving around a lot, so this chance we have right now, is our only chance. 

"They're late" I mumbled. The train was supposed to be in view, but it wasn't, it was nowhere to be found.

"Hey, calm down, okay? We're going to get him out, don't worry, Love" Newt said to me as he placed a hand on my shoulder. 

I kept my eye on the railways, waiting for a train. And that's when I heard the rumbling on the railways. 

"There!" I said to Newt as my heart began racing. I saw him look at me, but not like normal. A glisten in his eyes.

I would have to say, these past few 6 months, Newt and I had gotten a lot closer, but right now, it was just about Minho, and saving him.

Newt grabbed my arm as he got up from his spot behind the large rock, making me trail behind him. We stopped and met up with Thomas who was still shooting at the Wicked guards.

We detached a couple of cars, banging on each one of the sides to find the one Minho was in.

"Minho! Minho!" I yelled as I pounded on the sides of the car

"Minho!" Thomas shouted.

The kids on the cars began to scream as they heard our shouts. All of them moving around chains and shouting over the one voice we needed to hear.

"Shuck I can't hear him!" I yelled at the boys.

"This one!" Thomas said as he pointed to the one I was at.

Thomas and I went on top of the train car as Vince helped with the sides of the train car. 

"How ya doing down there, blondie" I asked as I hung myself off the top of the car.

"New nickname, eh? And don't rush me" He replied as he looked up at me with a smile. 

A bullet flew inches away from my shoulder.

"Shit" I mumbled aloud.

"Language, Love" Newt said from below.

"Oh shut up and hurry" I replied to the blonde.

"I said, don't rush me" 

Thomas and I continued to shoot at the top of the train car, shooting at every guard. By now, we were all ready for the car to go up. The Berg that Jorge and Brenda had stolen was securely tied to the car, ready to lift us up from the railways.

"Newt, get up here!" I shouted as the boy was still detaching the train car from the railway.

"Almost there" He muttered.

"Newt, come on!" I yelled.

He quickly grasped onto the side of the car, as Vince did the same with the other. I helped pull Newt up onto the train car as Thomas did the same with Vince. We all let out a sigh of relief as we stood on top of the car. 

"Ah!" I shouted as my body was flung over the side.

"Bloody hell, Y/N, you need to pay more attention" Newt joked as he grabbed onto my arm before I could fully slide off of the car.
