One of Us [Maze Runner]

Big Bertha (30)

"Umm... sometimes, I get car sick," Alaynah muttered. Her stomach was in pain, and if they didn't reach their destiny in 5 or so minutes, it would... not be a good sight.

"Wait, you're not afraid of helicopters, but you're afraid of cars?" asked Newt.

"Pretty much."

"Okay, I don't want someone to vomit on me," Minho argued. He was sitting next to Alaynah.

"Rude much," muttered Alaynah.

They stopped at a road with cars in front of them, and Alaynah knew what was about to happen. More hot girls. AKA Sonya and Harriet. AKA two lesbians. AKA power couple -... never mind.

After what seemed like ages, Alaynah was able to get out of the car.

"Big Bertha, you are one great car," she said, patting it with her left hand. Bad idea. The place above her wrist immediately started to hurt. "Bad Bertha. That's not a nice thing to do."

"Are you talking to the car?" Thomas asked.

"...Am I? Oh wait, I am. Sorry, Big Bad Bertha."

"I guess we're on foot," Jorge said.

"Why?" Alaynah asked.

"Because there are cars ahead of us," Brenda answered.

"Oh yeah," Alaynah muttered, then walked back to the car and lightly patted it. "You will be missed, Big Bad Bertha."

"Okay, this is getting ridiculous," Newt muttered. "Alaynah, we have to go."

"... Do we have to leave her behind?"

"Yes."

"Okay."

She caught up with everyone else, strolling ahead of them.

They were all sticking their heads in cars, which Alaynah found stupid.

At any second now, they would hide behind a car.

"Duck!" Alaynah shouted, too early for her timing. No one was shooting. "Sorry, false alarm."

Just then, she heard someone shoot towards them. Alaynah nearly shouted for the shooters (Harriet and Sonya) to come closer to her.

"Okay, duck for real now!" Everyone hid behind a car.

Jorge and Thomas hid behind one, Frypan, Aris, Teresa, and Brenda hid behind another, Newt and Minho also hid behind one, so Alaynah was left by to hide behind another car by herself. Rude.

She quickly hid behind one. She could've asked someone to shuffled over so she could also sit, but that would be very rude.

"Is everyone okay?" Thomas asked.

"Yes! Physically," answered Alaynah.

"Does anyone know where those shots came from?" Newt asked.

"It came from where the shooter was standing," Alaynah answered again.

Alaynah could see from where she hid that Jorge was giving Thimas an explosion. She really wanted one. Jorge himself also grabbed a bomb / grenade and got ready to launch it. "Everybody, get ready to sprint back to the truck... and hold your ears!"

Alaynah couldn't help but snigger to herself. Jorge was one of her favourite characters. She could see Harriet and Sonya coming towards them, so she stood up.

Jorge got ready to launch it, but Harriet reloaded one of her bullets, so he stopped what he was doing. He looked like he had just taken a klunk. Thomas also stopped.
