All of us helped Minho to get up carefully.

Expect one person. Teresa was walking forward with her flashlight. "Hey,". She started. "What's that smell?" She turned back to us.

Now that she mentioned it, something actually smells. And it smells horrible. A smell of something rotten and it was awful.

"Behind you!" Thomas screamed.

Teresa shined her flashlight and a screaming Crank appeared.

My eyes widened and all of us walked backwards. Nolan and I reached for Teresa and grabbed her back before the crank could hurt her.

"Oh my-!"

"Shit!"

"I see you've met our guard dogs". A strong, female voice spoke.

A faint light was turned on, and a black figure was walking in our direction, passing through Cranks that were chained up.

"Who's that?" Thomas quietly asked.

The girl was walking without flinching. All these cranks tried to grab, touch, and eat her, but she kept on walking with her chin lifted.

They were all tied to chains. She didn't look afraid in the slightest. Once she got closer to us I could see her.

She was gorgeous.

She had short black hair and doe brown eyes.

"You guys look like shit". She commented.

I can agree with that.

"Come on, follow me". She motioned for us to follow her as she turned to leave. None of us moved in the slightest, and she noticed that. She turned back around.

"Unless you want to stay here with them". She said this time with a small smile. The girl started walking away and we quickly followed.

We got past the Cranks and actually, they couldn't reach for us.

That was the purpose of them being there. As the girl said-as guard dogs. To scare people away.

Now we were in the actual building.

"Jorge wants to meet you". The girl said as we walked up some stairs. People were sitting in chairs or couches, watching us pass through.

Of course, all those people must have known each other. Seeing us out of nowhere seemed strange.

"Who's Jorge?" Thomas asked. I know he is curious but that curiosity is on a different level.

"You'll see". The girl replied not glancing at us.

"Who are you?" He asked again.

The girl stopped walking and turned around.

"Brenda". She glanced at me. She started walking again and all of us followed. I noticed Thomas looking at her up and down.

"No one's come out of the Scorch in a long time". She said. "You've just got him curious". She glanced at Thomas up and down too. "And me too". She nodded looking forward again.

There is some..tension between them.

But I decided to ignore it. It's probably nothing.

As we kept walking, a few men appeared behind us.
One grinned at me, revealing his ugly teeth. Some teeth were broken and some were brown. Newt grabbed my waist and pulled me closer to him.
