One and Only? // y/n x Newt Maze Runner [Scorch Trails]

Chapter 3 ~ Safety

"Crap," I whispered under my breath.
I could help but wonder how they had found us so quickly.

"Cmon, we need to move. Brenda, come with me. y/n, you take them to the zip line." Jorge said before we parted ways.

We ran through the massive warehouse until we finally reached a zipline leading to another building.

Before I could get the first persons harness on something, it stopped me.
A loud song was rattling of the walls, making its way around the warehouse .

"Ok.. we need to move, " I said in panic, sending one person after the other, until it was just me and Newt left.

I motioned for Newt to get into the harness, but before he could, someone came banging through the door.

2 people dressed in full black covering their faces with black masks, I could only guess that they worked with WICKED.

"ON YOUR KNEES NOW. HANDS, UP." One of them shouted. I looked at Newt,  reassuring him that it would be alright and we got onto our knees with our hands in the air.

They were ready to shoot, I heard the clicking of their gun  ready to be set off.

Until there was a bang.
But we weren't dead.

Me and Newt exchanged a look of confusion before looking up to see the 2 guards were dead on the floor and Brenda and Jorge were behind them holding guns to their heads.

"Okay, let's hurry, the songs almost over." Jorge said, getting Newt into a harness and sending him down the line.

Then me.

Then Brenda

Then himself.

We had all gotten to the building safely before there were a series of bangs starting from the far end of the building and moving its way across.

Everyone covered their ears until the explosions were done.

"Everyone follow me." Jorge said, motioning for everyone to follow him out the back end of the building.

Whatever, or whoever WICKED had sent, was now dead inside the  warehouse.

The storm had stopped, and the yellow sun was peaking over hills of sand. I couldn't stop thinking about the warehouse. That was where I had grown up, I had been there ever since I was little, and now it's all gone.

"Listen, we are going to be walking a while, I have rules, no talking, no crying , no laughing, no singing, no running, no dancing. Hm?" Jorge said, waiting for an answer.

"It also might help if we know your names." Jorge said, looking down embarrassed, knowing he should have asked earlier.

"About time.. Im Thomas." Thomas said, not fully trusting Jorge at all.

"I'm minho.."

"I'm...Fry"

"Teresa.."

"I'm Newt,"

"And the kid in the back is Aris. He doesn't seem keen on social interactions, though." Thomas said.

"Splendid." Jorge said, clapping his hands together in sarcasm.

"I'm Jorge, this is Brenda, and you have already met y/n." Jorge said, pointing at each of us.

"Now if you don't mind, we have places to be and things to do, while I figure out where the he'll we are going, do me a favour and don't do anything stupid? Hm?" Jorge said, turning away.

Everyone sat down in their groups, Brenda and I sat together on some old rock that emerged from the sand yet still in the shade of the building. While everyone else sat together in a huddle, a far bit away from us.

"You think they trust us?" Brenda said, looking at me.

"Hell no, why do you think we are here, and they are there. They will obviously be judging us." I said, making eye contact with Newt for only a second before looking away.

"Why did you let them loose?.." Brenda asked.

"I felt bad for them, they are like us, they have nothing to hide, they have lived a shit life locked away from the world, and locking them up in our prison isn't any better than WICKED.." I said, looking away.

"Right, we are ready to go. Come on, people, we won't be stopping until we get there..." Jorge said, heaving a backpack over his shoulder and  away..
