Lights blazed throughout the Homestead. Gladers ran about, everyone talking at once. A couple of boys cried in a corner. Chaos ruled. Newt laid unconscious on the bed, Clint and Jeff treating him. Allie knew she had to step in, her sword secured to her back once again. She wouldn't put it out of her reach this time. My own feelings are secondary to the safety of majority.

"Listen up!" but her shout didn't faze anybody, she looked to her right at Minho and tried again. "EVERYBODY, SHUT. THE FUCK. UP!" that seemed to work. Allie wasn't sure what it was, her screaming her lungs out or the use of real world swear word. "Thank you." she looked around the room. "The Grievers are blind, but they certainly aren't deaf, so I want you all to sit on your asses and be quiet. Separate according to your job. Keepers, your people are your responsibility." Allie looked at the mass of boys before settling on certain Builder. "Dave."

"I got it Boss Lady." he nodded getting a nod back from her.

"Chuck, I want you with Newt, make sure he doesn't try to do something stupid," she turned towards Newt who woke up in the middle of her speech. "I mean it Newt, stay down." and the second in command didn't even try to sit up anymore, "Clint, Jeff I want you to go around, treat anyone who got hurt during this chaos." both of them nodded and left the room.

"Minho, you have one of the hardest jobs," Allie paused creating suspension. "you have to keep track on Thomas." few people chuckled around the room, "And don't you dare to run of again. Thomas that's you job. Have each other's backs."

"You got it Chief."

"Yes Boss."

Allie nodded. "Good."

As everyone started to move around-Keepers to their rooms, boys following their Keepers-quietly this time around. Allie and Minho looked at each other and smiled softly. "Good job." Minho mouthed.

"Guys," Thomas said from the window. "there's smoke coming from the Map Room."

"What the bugging-" Minho started coming closer to take a look himself.

"Don't ya even think about it shuck." Chuck warned Newt in the background as the bloodied boy wanted to see the smoke.

"Gally... or Alby." Allie said. "If he remembered somethin' similar to Gally, he doesn't want us to leave either, he burned the maps."

"We have to-" Thomas started.

"No we don't" Allie interrupted.

"But the maps?" Minho was confused.

"We don't need them."

"Yeah of course cuz we have it in our heads, every section, every combination, every corridor." Minho stated sarcastically.

"I do." the boys searched for any sign of joke in her voice but there was none.

"You serious?" Newt was in disbelieve, "You remembered all of that? Why?"
