I managed to find them when aris was about to shut the vent close. "Wait!" I whisper, and he stops. I jump down, hitting the hard floor. "Sorry I'm late." I say and he nods, closing the vent.

Thomas opens the door with the card and we slowly get inside. To my right, there were... creatures in water pipes, stuck. They looked like grievers, but I wasn't sure.

We ignore that, moving to another door. My heart stops when I look at countless of boys and girls, unconscious, hanging in the air supported by tubes.

I gasp silently. "Allison?" I whisper, seeing stiles flinch at the name. I walk over to the girl, but she wasn't Allison. "What the hell?" I whisper and shake my head. "It's Rachel, they took her the first night." Aris tells us and I can see the emotion on his face.

"I told her it was going to be okay." Suddenly, I hear the door behind us open. "Shit."  Whisper, seeing this door open too.

We all hide, seeing Janson and another guy walk in.

"You sure this couldn't wait? I have someone I need to talk to." He says and the man shakes his head. "She had very specific instructions sir, she wanted to speak with you personally." The man says and janson sighs.

"As if i don't have enough to deal with." Janson complains, and I see them standing still. "Just bear with me, because of the storm the connection is worse." The man makes connection and to my surprise I see Dr. Paige, the woman that was supposed to be dead.

"Good evening, doctor paige. Lovely to see you again, although I admit, I wasn't expecting to hear from you so soon." My fist clenches, we've been screwed over.

"Change of plans, Janson. I'll be arriving a little sooner than expected. First thing tomorrow." She says and I can hear she isn't happy.

"Oh, we'll be delighted to have you. I think you'll be pleased with the progress we've made." He looks at the second guy, who swipes something on the screen.

"As you can see, early results have been extremely promising. Whatever it is you've been doing to them in there, it's working." He says and she shakes hear head.

"Not well enough." She says and it stays silent for a second. "I just recieved board approval. I want all the remaining subjects sedated and prepped for harvest by the time I arrive." She says and I look at Stiles, fearing for our friends.

"Doctor Paige, we are going as fast as we can." Janson says and I see from his picture he does not like this woman. Neither do I, she made us believe she was dead. She worked for wicked. And wicked is still after us, so we gotta get out before we can't spread this information to the guys.

"Try something faster." She says and I slowly stand up straight. "Until I can garantuee their security, this is is the best plan." She says and I frown. So there are people out there who don't want to use us. 

"Ma'am, security is my job. We're on 24 hour lockdown here. I am assuring you, the assets are secure." He says and I see Ava tilting her head, disagreeing.

"Have you found the right arm?" She asks and Janson stays quiet for a second. "Not yet." He says and I lock that word in my head.

"We tracked them as far as the mountains." He says and Stiles and I share a look. "So they're still out there. And they've already hit two of our installations. They want these kids as badly as we do." She says. "And the flat trans? Have they found them?" She asks and janson shakes his head.

"If they find it, then it's over for us."

"And I cannot." She raises her voice, stepping closer. "I cannot afford another loss. Not now, when I'm so close to a cure." She says and I believe she believes that, but I doubt she's close.

"If you are not up for the task I will find someone who is." I see her walking away towards her desk and I let out a soft sigh.

"That won't be necessary. Might I suggest we start with the most recent arrivals." Shit. Shit. Shit!

"Just get it done." She says and I look at her. "Janson." She says when he turns around. "I don't want them to feel any pain." She says. "They won't feel a thing." I see Janson smirking, and he walks away, turning off the connection.

. . .

Thomas, Aris and I get out of the vents, into the boys' room. "Thomas! Jane?" Fry asks and I panic, looking around. "We gotta go, we gotta go." Thomas says and everyone looks at him confused. "What the hell are you talking about?" Minho yells at him and I look at them. "What do you mean 'we gotta go' ?" Newt asks and my heart was beating fast.

"In short: we never left wicked's trials." I say and help a panicked Thomas pull the sheets against the doors, tighting them up.

It was utter chaos. "What happened in there?" Fry asks and I groan. "Will you guys shut up?!" I yell and they stay quiet, shocked.

"Aris what happened?" Fry asks instead and they start panicking. "Thomas, can you just calm- Jane?" Newt tries and I shake my head. "Ava paige isn't dead. She ordered Janson to sedate us. That room, that's full of the kids that got their name called." I say and they all look at me.

"Thomas just turn arou-" Newt tries and Stiles snaps. "It's wicked!" He yells and they stop talking. "It's still wicked, it's always been wicked." He says and I look at him. He put a mattress in front of the door.

"Thomas, what do we need to do?" Newt asks and I take over. He could barely think. "Aris, lead them to the way out, Thomas, you go in the middle. I'll go last." I say and he nods.

"Quick!" I hear the beeping of the door, and I basically jump into the vent. Before I can grab the hatch of the vent, the door opens. I let it go and crawl after the other boys.
