Thomas was enjoying his lunch with Newt, Minho, Brenda, and Jorge when the plane came. It was after a year sharp when he and his friends landed in this Safe Haven. With the survivors. They made a rock which presents the dead friends of ours. Thomas had engraved Percy Jackson, or Lucas. Newt had engraved Teresa. Minho had engraved Koran, or Theo. The trio had suffered for those losses, but after some while, it got better, since they had each other. And the Seven(Well now Six), Nico and Reyna had left to find their surviving campers and families. Thomas had been really surprised that Reyna Avila Ramirez-Arellano had abandoned Newt. But she had said goodbye, with her kiss. That was enough for Newt. She said she would come after him however the situation looked bad after she had ended her business with her legions. Reyna was their leader after all, so she would have to protect them. She had responsibilities. It was not bearable, but it was understandable. Newt had cried for four days straight, and no one could blame him. But eventually it got better, and the Gladers and Scorchers relaxed for the first time in their life. (At least, where they could remember)

Thomas was eating bacon, fried eggs, and his precious, and delicious orange juice. It was a special occasion to drink orange juice, you know. They always gived them plain water, or milk. But as today was the day when they had landed, they had celebrated, enjoying their day-off. Until the sounds of the plane came.

Whoosh. Whoosh. Whoosh.

Those terrifying sounds came from the sky. It was quite a long time since Thomas had heard that sound. Those whanging, whooshing sound which made Thomas frustrated. It made him think of WICKED. What they have done to Alby, Chuck, Lucas, Theo, Teresa...

Wait a minute.

WICKED.

World in Catastophe, Killzone Experiment Department.

That plane. 

That plane could be WICKED's.

But maybe he could just hallucinating? His friends didn't seem to notice the sound. Maybe Thomas was just imagining things. After all, he was suffering from nightmares that haunted him every night. Just because his friends doesn't know about it, it dosen't mean that this occasion was like the dream.

But all the same... Thomas wanted to be sure. He would check. He would check the harbor. Without alerting his friends. 

Thomas abruptly stood up. Minho glanced up at him and gaved him a 'what now Tommy' look. But before he could speak, Thomas excused himself from the group. Said he needed to go to the bathroom. And he ran, before anyone could stop him from going. Firstly he would grab a black cap from his room. But he did not notice a pair of eyes were watching him.

Minho followed the boy with his eyes. When he was gone from his sight, he nudged Newt. 

"Hey Newt. Why would Thomas run to his cabin when the bathroom is that way?" He pointed to the opposite side.

"Dunno. Maybe he wanted some tissues." Newt clearly wasn't paying attention, as he was playing poker with Jorge. 

Minho glanced back to the way which Thomas has gone. Then back at Newt. And then he stood up. Brenda glanced up and gave him her 'What now Minho' look. Why does this sound familiar?

"Just going after Thomas. He's hiding something, I'm sure." Minho scratched his head.

Brenda snorted. And shaked her head. "Oh no. You know Thomas's always hiding something. Well, be off. I'm gonna enjoy this interesting game of poker." She turned her gaze to the poker game.
