"Just hear what they have to say." Minho mocked Joanna's voice, "What a brilliant idea!"

They was all hanging upside down over a massive drop in the building.

"Fuck off, Minho." Joanna moaned. She was feeling lightheaded.

"Maybe I can reach the rope!" Thomas said enthusiastically, reaching up to grab the rope tied to his legs. He failed.

"I am going to throw up." Fry groaned.

"Don't you dare!" Joanna shouted at him. She knew that if any of them threw up, she would too.

"Enjoying the view?" Jorge asked them, walking over to a lever.

"Loving it." Joanna smiled at him and put her thumb up. Jorge chuckled, in response.

"The hell do you want?" Minho asked him.

"What a good question! What do I want?" Jorge asked himself, "Ah well, my men want to sell you back to Wicked."

"What small minded men!" Joanna huffed.

"Hm." Jorge smiled at her nodding, "I am not like that. I am guessing you aren't either." He looked at Joanna.

"Is the blood rushing through my head, or is this Shank not making any sense?" Minho mumbled.

"Minho!" Joanna scolded him. She knew he could drop them down the hole at any second.

"Tell me what you know about the Right Arm." Jorge pointed his cane towards Joanna.

"Thought you said they were Ghosts?" Newt asked him.

"I happen to believe in Ghosts." Jorge smiled at him. "Especially, when I hear them...chattering on the airwaves." He grabbed the lever. "Tell me what you know and maybe we can make a deal."

"Not much." She replied and looked at Thomas. She wasn't lying.

Jorge smirked at the group and then pulled the lever back, causing the ropes to loosen and start to fall. They all screamed and he quickly pushed it back up, stopping them from falling.

"I swear to god, we don't know much!" Joanna shouted at him.

"We only know that Wicked tracked them to the mountains. It's where they hid after attacking Wicked and got out a bunch of kids. That's all we know!" Thomas quickly responded.

Jorge looked at them and started to speak when he got interrupted by a tall man walking in.

"Jorge." He spoke. Jorge looked at him. "What's going on?"

"Just getting acquainted with my new friends." Jorge told him. "We are done now." He started to walk away.

"Hey! I thought we had a deal?" Joanna shouted to him.

"Don't worry, we will get you back to where you belong." Jorge smiled at her and then walked away with the man.

"Shit." Everyone whispered.

"I might actually kill you, Joanna." Minho mumbled to her.

"It's not my fault, he didn't want to keep his deal!" Joanna gritted at him.

"Can we stop hearing people out, from now on?" Minho replied.

"Yes." Everyone, almost, yelled in response.

"Right, Teresa is closets to the lever so we need to create enough momentum to push her to the lever." Joanna quickly formed a plan. "Minho, start swinging left and right. Newt, when Minho reaches you, push him back towards Teresa. Minho, you then push Teresa and keep doing it until she can reach."
Everyone nodded.
