They finally arrived where they were heading. Thomas was asleep when Minho started yelling at him.
Minho: Wake up, we gotta go! Come on!
Thomas and start running inside.
Guard 1: Shit Cranks!
Guard 2: Get them inside!
Guard 1: We'll handle this!
Cranks start to come over to the building. Thomas and Minho make it inside in time.
Ingrid: There you are
Ingrid hugged Thomas.
Thomas: Where the hell are we?
Ingrid: I don't know, they just pushed us in here
Some time later the Glade survivors were waiting in a room when the door opened.
Janson: You kids are doing all right? Sorry about all the fuss we had ourselves a bit of a swarm
Thomas: Who are you?
Janson: I'm the reason you're all still alive, it's my intention to keep you that way, now come with me we'll get you kids squared up
They follow Janson.
Janson: You can call me Mr Janson, I run this place for us it's a sanctuary, safe from the horrors of the outside world, you all should think of it as a waste station kind of a home between homes
Thomas: You mean you're taking us home?
Janson: A home of sorts sadly there wouldn't be much left of wherever you came from but we do have a place for you a refuge outside the scorch where WICKED will never find you again, how does that sound?
Minho: Why are you helping us?
Janson: Let's just say, the world out there is in a rather precarious situation and we're all hanging on by a very thin thread, the fact that you kids can survive the flare virus makes you the best chance of humanity's continued survival unfortunately it also makes you a target, there's no doubt by now you've noticed
They stop at a door.
Janson: Beyond this door lies the beginning of your new lives, first things first, let's do something about that smell
They all got cleaned up, given new clothes then were taken to the cafeteria. Minho saw Thomas and ran over to him.
Minho: Hey Thomas
Thomas: Hey Minho, what's going on
Minho: We weren't the only Maze
Minho leads Thomas to the others.
Guy 1: There was this big loud explosion and these guys came out of nowhere started shooting up the place
Guy 2: It was intense
Guy 1: They pulled us out of the Maze and brought us here
Newt: What about the rest, the other people left behind in the Maze, what happened to them?
Guy 1: I don't know, I guess Wicked still has them
Newt: How long have you guys been here for
Guy 1: Not long, just a day or two, that kid over there he's been here the longest
They all face the kid in the corner and Ingrid immediately recognizes him.
Guy 1: Almost a week
Ingrid: Aris? wait I'll be right back
Ingrid got up and walked over to Aris.
Newt: Where are you going? Ingrid, Ingrid
Ingrid: Aris?
Aris looked up.
Aris: Wait Ingrid?
Ingrid: Yes it's me
Aris got up and hugged Ingrid.
Aris: I thought you were dead
Ingrid: No, I just got switched to another Maze and Newt was there but I was the only girl there until another girl got sent up
Aris: It's been a whole year since I last saw you, I actually thought you were dead
Ingrid: You knew they couldn't get rid of me that easily
Aris: I guess I doubted you for the first time
Aris and Ingrid sat down and catched up. Meanwhile,
Guy 2: His Maze was nothing but girls
Guy 1: Some guys have all the luck
Then Janson came out.
Janson: Good evening gentleman, ladies, you all know how this works
Ingrid: Aris what's going on?
Aris: Just keep your head down and hope your name doesn't get called
Ingrid: Uh...okay
Janson: If you hear your name called please rise in an orderly fashion, join my colleagues behind me where they will escort you to the eastern wing, your new lives are about to begin, Connor, Evelyn, Justin, Peter, Allison, Squidgy
They all laugh.
Janson: All right settle down, Franklin and Abigail
Those people got up and went over to the guards.
Janson: Now, now don't get discouraged if I could take more I would, there's always tomorrow, your time will come, go on eat up
Janson left with the kids who got called.
Minho: Where are they going?
Guy 1: Far from here, lucky bastards
Guy 2: Some kind of farm, a safe place, they can only take in a couple few at a time
Then Thomas sees Teresa in the window.
Thomas: What the hell
Thomas goes after Teresa.
Minho: Thomas where are you going?
Thomas: Hey Teresa!
Ingrid sees Thomas and goes over to him.
Thomas: Teresa!
Ingrid: Thomas what are you doing?
Guard: Hey, hey, hey
Thomas: Where are they taking her?
Guard: They just have to run a few more tests, don't worry they will be done with her soon
Ingrid: Is she okay?
Guard: She's fine
Ingrid: Come on Tommy
