Returning to the glade, I jogged out of the woods with everyone else. We all collectively ignored the stares we received.
Newt stood next to Gally near Med- Jack, talking about something important. I could tell Gally was pestering Newt about a conflict.
"I'll get Newt." Minho stated. "You know where to go." He said to the three other boys and they nodded their heads.
I patiently waited for Minho to return with Newt, but it was taking longer than I thought. The sound of the door opening, caused me to spring up.
Newt, Minho, and a smirking Gally walked through the door. I looked at Minho and he nodded his head in defeat. Gally walked past us, confidently.
We gathered around Newt.
Minho handed the silver object we found earlier to Newt. He looked at it, peculiarly. His eyes trailed every inch of the object.
Thomas waited for Newt to say something, but there was no response; he spoke. "It was inside of a Griever."
Newt looked up, bewildered at the finding. "This is the same letter we get on our supplies."
W.C.K.D
I've heard those letters before. When I was passed out in the maze- I heard voices. They repeated the same thing over and over. Wicked is good.
"Yeah, who ever put us here- Obviously made the Grievers. And this is the first clue..." Thomas waved his hand firmly in the air." This is the first clue you've found in over three years- Right, Minho?"
"Right."
It went silent. I could practically see Thomas get nervous. He bounced his leg up and down.
Breaking the silence, I opened my mouth to speak for Thomas. "Maybe it can lead us out of the maze?" They all looked at me and I continued. "We at least have to try and see if it works. It's too great of a coincidence."
Minho slightly nodded his head and Thomas looked at me, gratefully.
The brunette steadied his leg. "We gotta go back out there. Who knows where this might lead us?" The look in his eyes were encouraging and promising.
"You see what they're trying to do, right." Gally asked Newt. Newt didn't answer. "First, they break our rules and then they try and convince us to abandon them totally." His voice got louder. "The rules are the only thing that ever held us together. Why now are we questioning that?" He took a deep breath. "If Alby was here you know he would agree with me."
Minho gave Gally the biggest side eye.
I was frustrated. Gally was so stubborn he twisted ours words. Worst of all he used Alby against Newt. Unintentionally or not he completely tried to guilt trip him. Newts been under so much pressure recently and Gally is taking advantage of him.
"These Shanks-" He gestured to Thomas and I. "Need to be punished."
Newt glanced at us, puzzled. He handed Minho back the object. "You're right, Thomas and Lilah broke the rules." He leaned his head against the pillar, his adam's apple became significantly noticeable. "One night in the pit. No food-"
"Oh, Come on, Newt! One night in the pit? Do you think that's going to stop em from going into the maze? She already said she didn't regret it."
Newts snapped his head to face Gally and his eyebrows tensed. "No." He admitted; In a firm tone. "And we can't just have non runners, running into the maze whenever they feel like it!"
I felt targeted. But I didn't hold it against him. I knew how much Newt was trying to be the replacement for Alby and make things better again. And things keep on falling apart.
"So let's make this official. Starting from tomorrow you two are runners."
"Wow-" Gally stormed off.
"Gally." Frypan pleaded.
Gally pushed Frypans arm away, climbing up the stairs. "No, Fry." That didn't stop Frypan from following after his friend.
"Thanks, Newt."
Newt only looked at Thomas.
"I need to show you guys something." Minho said to Thomas and I. "The map room. It'll be quick, I know you guys had a long day."
"You guys go ahead. I'll be there in a couple of minutes."
Minho glanced at Newt and I. He gave me a knowingly look and I sent a faint smile in response.
"Let's go, greenie." Minho walked past Thomas and headed towards the door.
"I'll catch you up everything, tonight." Thomas touched my shoulder before leaving with Minho.
