    "Where are they going?" Minho asked.

     "Far from here." David turned to face us. "Lucky bastards."

     "What do you mean?" I wonder.

     "They're going to some kind of farm. A safe place." The other boy said. "They can only take in a couple of people at a time."

    "What the hell?" I hear Thomas mutter as he stands up. "Hey, Teresa?" Thomas walked up and we could see Teresa being led by two scientists. She was in another room, but we could see through the glass. "Teresa!" He yelled but was pushed back.

I turn back to the table having some food.

After that we were lead into a room, it had six bunkbeds, with actual mattresses.
It was a little bit more difficult for me to get in I had an argument. It was something like.

    "I've spent three years with these animals. I love them all. A couple more nights isn't going to bother me. I don't need a separate bed I would rather stay with my boyfriend. If you say 'We have a choice,' 'You're doing this for us,' then let me."

They tried to convince me otherwise, but I was stubborn and they eventually allowed it. There were six beds, but seven of us were in the room. Thomas, Minho, Frypan, Winston, Jack, me, and Newt.

   "Ooh, I got top bunk." Frypan called.
Minho jumped up to the bed closest to the door sitting on the top bunk.

"Too slow." Minho smiled at Frypan.

    "I could get used to this." Winston smiled, laying on the mattress.

    "Yeah. It's not bad." Newt said looking around as we walked in.
The guy that let us in shut the door, but I also heard the sound of it locking.

    "Hey, what do you think those guys want with Teresa?" Thomas asked Newt and I.

    "Now, if there's one thing, I know about that girl, she can take care of herself. Don't worry about it." Newt told him as he climbed up to the top bunk. "Love, you coming?"

"I'll be right up." I smile then look at my brother. "Tom, she's gonna be fine, just relax."

I climbed up and snuggled close to Newt on the soft mattress.

In the morning Thomas told us that he saw the people who worked here, the people that saved us, bringing what looked like bodies hidden under sheets into a room.

    "Alice. Barry. Walt. Edgar. Samantha." Rat Man read off the names as we sat in the cafeteria for dinner.

    "I want to know what's through that door." Thomas whispered.

   "Aaron."

    "Now, we've been over this. You said they were covered up, so you don't know what you saw. It could've been anything under there." Newt told Thomas.

  "Dennis."

    "I know exactly what I saw. They were bodies." Thomas was positive.

    "Sally."

    "Aris said they bring in a new batch every night." Thomas said.

     "Who the hell is Aris?" Minho asked.

    "Henry."

Thomas pointed to the boy that sat alone. Aris was holding his food, observing it in his hand.

    "Tim."

     "Well, I'm sold." Minho turned back to Thomas.

    "And last but not least, David." Rat Man finished, the boy that sat with us, stood up happily walking over to stand with the others. "Thank you for your attention. Enjoy the rest of your evening." Everyone applauded.

    "Okay, until we know anything for certain, we should just keep our heads down and try not to draw any attention to ourselves, all right?" Newt told Thomas.
Thomas did quite the opposite.
He loudly stood up and walked straight up to the doors where the kids were walking through.

    "What is he doing?" Newt asked.

    "I think he's drawing attention to himself." Frypan said.

    "Did you expect him to listen?" I ask.

     "(Y/n) I'm just surprised he lasted that long without yelling at Janson." Minho shook his head as we watched Thomas.

The two guys who stood in front of the doors, pushed Thomas back, stopping him from entering . Thomas tried going forward again, but he was pushed back once again.

    "He's gonna do something stupid." I sigh.

Thomas turned around and started walking towards us, only made a couple steps before running back towards the men.

We got up from our table to stop, Thomas.

     "Back off!!" The man yelled throwing Thomas back.

    "What's your problem, man? What the hell, huh?" Thomas yelled, shoving the guy.

    "Back off!" The man shouted returning the shove.
We reached Thomas and held him back.

    "Why won't you let me see her?" Thomas yelled.

     "Control your friend!" The man pointed at Thomas.

    "What's happening here?" Rat Man pushed forward, we let Thomas go as he stopped fighting. "Thomas? I thought we could trust each other. You know we are all on the same team here."

    "Are we?" Thomas questioned.

    "Get them to their bunks." Rat Man smiled.
