Thomas's POV:

Jansen led us through the hallway from which he came, all of us trying to avoid the sparks flying from either side. While we were walking, he droned on and on about how we were all safe, but I wasn't paying him much attention, I was too busy worrying about Newt. Where had they taken him? Will I be able to see him soon? Will he be okay? I felt pathetic and useless in this situation, there wasn't anything I could do, it's not like I could heal him magically, I couldn't take his pain away, I couldn't fix him, I couldn't do anything. All I could think about was his soft, fluffy, golden hair as I would run my fingers through it, or how the golden flecks in his eyes sparkled under the sun, or the way his lips curve into a smile, or when I kiss them, the softness and happiness they bring. 

The way his body fit perfectly in my arms whenever we hugged of cuddled, or the way his hands interlocked flawlessly with mine. I loved the way he understands, and the way he cares about everyone. The way he's always there for you whenever you need him. The way he's so selfless. The way he cares for me. Oh how I love that boy. Oh man, what if he doesn't feel the same, I love him, but does he feel the same way about me? I mean, I was a piece of shit to him. All I wanted to do right then at that moment was to snuggle up with Newt, he made all of the monsters go away for a little while. 

I was too caught up in my thoughts about Newt that I didn't see the small bump in the hallway's concrete floor. And to no one's surprise....I tripped. Minho saw the whole thing and barked out a laugh, full of humor and happiness, yet not like Newts'. 

"Hahahahaha Thomas! Dude, you're such a klutz! That bump was so small. At this point just trip over the air." He burst into another fit of laughter. 

I just rolled my eyes at him. I looked up to see the Rat-man staring me at me with a disapproving look on his face. His lips were pursed into a tight line, his beady eyes boring into mine. It made me feel quite uncomfortable. 

"Thomas, it may do you some good to pay attention to this." The rat-man said. 

I didn't say anything, I just stared. He went on with his speech, this time, I slightly listened in. 

"As you know, W.I.C.K.E.D took you from your families at a very young age and was keeping you in there to study you. You all escaped, and with a mole of our own inside W.I.C.K.E.D, we were able to plan a scheduled escape for you children. Now what you probably don't know is that W.I.C.K.E.D is still after you kids, and it is my job to make sure that you don't fall victim to them. We have a safe place far away from all of this, where W.I.C.K.E.D will never find you."

I leaned over to Minho, who was right beside me, "Why is he getting to all of this now? wouldn't he had said all of this earlier on?"

"Shank, I don't know, all he talked about was their values and shit, also the layout of the building." he responded in a whisper. 

A brilliant idea popped into my head, "Wait Minho." I said, stopping him in the hallway.

"Yeah Thomas?" he responded

"Is there a medical wing in this building?"

"Uhhh yeah, why?"

I brightened up at hearing this, "That means we can go see Newt in the medical wing right?" I asked.
