Wishing On Dandelions | Minho |

Kidnapping

"There's gotta be another way." Thomas disagreed against Gallys plan once they got back to the others.

"Like what? You've seen the building. She is our only way in."

"You really think she's gonna help us?"

"I don't plan on asking her permission. She's the reason Minho is here in the first place."

"Am I missing something here? This is the same girl who betrayed us, correct? Same dick?" Brenda questioned, still hating Teresa.

"Correct,." Gina nodded.

"I like them." Gally said, gesturing to the two girls.

"What's going on?" Brenda asked gently.

"You afraid your little girlfriend's gonna get hurt? This is obviously never just been about rescuing Minho to you." Aria stated accusingly at Thomas.

"Ari, what are you talking about?" Thomas asked bewildered.

"Teresa. She's the whole reason Minho's even 'missing in the first place! Now we finally have an opportunity to get him back. And what? You don't want to because your pussy whipped? Becasue deep down your care about her, don't you?" Aria snapped at Thomas.

"Aria, I don't know what you're talking about. I love Newt." Thomas argued against the blonde, no idea where she was getting any of these ideas from.

"AND I LOVE MINHO!" She shouted, pushing him against the wall.

"ARIA!"
"ELLA!"

"We're kidnapping her whether you like it or not!" Aria yelled at him before storming off.

"I don't believe Ella's changed that much so what the fuck just happened?" Gally demanded answers but everyone remained silence not knowing where the girls sudden anger came from.

"I think I might know. But you're not going to like it." Brenda muttered, walking off to find the blonde.

"Aria." Brenda called out the girls name as she walked onto the roof.

"I guess I can't hide this anymore." Ariella's voice broke as she rolled up her sleeve to reveal the black veins crawling up her arm. Gally stood by the door way watching from a distance. He knew what this meant, watching his mother already die the same fate.

"Why didn't you tell anyone?" Brenda's voice broke.

"The same reason you never did back in the scorch. To stop others from worrying." Aria sighed. "Minho was right, my loyalty and stubbornness really is gonna get me killed."

"We can still fix this. Look at me, i'm all healed up." Brenda said hopeful as she showers her bite which was now nothing but a scar.

"This isn't about me, B. It's about Minho. If there's a chance to get him out then we have to do it, no matter what the costs."

"Okay." Brenda nodded slowly, tears rolling down her face as she sat next to the blonde.

"You holding up okay?" Gally finally spoke, making his presence known. Aria was quick to pull her sleeve down, making the flare hidden. "Don't bother, I already saw."

"I'm sorry I didn't tell you. I just don't want people worrying about me when they should focus on Minho." Ariella apologised, feeljng guilty.

"I'm always going to worry about you. It's what big brothers do." He smiled at her.

"Looks like the roles are reversed of who's dying this time." Aria laughed dryly. "Too soon?" She asked seeing as neither of the two found it funny.

"Too soon." They both agreed.

"We can't tell anyone else. Especially not Gina." Aria said, giving the two a warning glare.

"Don't tell me what?" Gina asked, joining them on the roof.

"That Ella nearly tore out her stitches when me and Newt got hit by a train." Gally said quickly.

"You did what?!?" Gina exclaimed angry. "And you got hit by a train!?"

"My stitches are still in. He said nearly." Aria clarified, smiling at the girl despite the darkness she felt crawling its way through her veins.

"I didn't think he's actually do it." Aria laughed seeing that Thomas managed to kidnap Teresa and bring her back.

"It was easy for me to convince him." Newt smirked proudly at his accomplishment.

"Gally?" Was the first thing Teresa spoke once Newt removed the bag that was over her head.

"Here's how this is gonna go. We're gonna ask you some questions, and you're gonna tell us exactly what we need to know. Or i'll let Ella and Gina take their anger out on you." He threatened. "Let's start off simple. Where's Minho?"

"You guys don't seriously think.." Teresa began but Gally interrupted her by slammed a chair in front of her.

"Don't look at him. Why are you looking at him? Look at me. He's not gonna help you." Gally stated firmly, making Teresa look at him.

"We know you have Minho in the building. All you gotta do is tell us where?" Gina demanded, toying with the knife in her hands.

"He's with the others in the holding." Teresa gulped, looking at Gina. "Sub level three."

"How many others?" Gally asked.

"28." Teresa sighed. Gally looked back at Brenda, asking if she could make that work without having to actually ask the shit haired brunette.

"I can make that work." She nodded, looking briefly away from her card game with Jorge and Ariella.

"No. No, you guys don't understand. The whole level's restricted. Y-you can't get in without a thumbprint ID." Teresa stuttered.

"That's why you're gonna come with us." Ariella finally spoke up. "Or I could just take your thumb."

"Ari." Brenda warned.

"I guarantee she's done a lot worse to Minho. I'd probably be seen as being nice by only taking her thumb." Aria smirked at Teresa, waving the scissors in front of her.

"It's your turn." Jorge spoke holding his cards, trying to keep Aria calm. He noticed the same signs in her that he did in Brenda when she was infected. His fatherly instincts knowing that she was infected with the flare, he made it his job to protect her and he'll continue doing that until his last breath.

"Do whatever you want to me. You still won't get through the front door. The sensors will pick you up the.."

"We know. Were tagged. Property of WCKD." Thomas interrupted. "You're gonna help us with that too."
