That night we made a fire and I stayed next to Fry. Winston was his best friend and I felt guilty for not being able to save him.

"I believed that we were supposed to be all immune." said Minho across from me, keeping an eye on me.

"Not all of us.. I guess." Said Theresa.

"I never though i'll say it..but I miss the Glade." said Fry with tears in his eyes. He turn his head to look at me.

"I'm sorry Fry about him-"

"It's not your fault Leah." I rested my head on his shoulder and he hugged me with one arm.
The others looked at us sadly.

Some hours passed and Thomas woked up and saw some lights.... lights.... LIGHTS. There are people that can help them.

"Hey,Hey! Look, Lights!" he shouted.

I moved from a sleepy Minho to see the lights and Thomas was right. But soon we heard something from afar.

A fucking storm. Just our luck.

"RUN!"

We ran to the glowing building as fast as we can. The storm was close and the lightnings were closer to us.

"Go go go!" I shout.

Then we heard a BOOM behind us.
In front of me were the rest except-

"MINHO!" I ran to him with Thomas. He was struck by the lightning. Shit.

We managed to enter the building and we carefully put Minho down. His body was smoking and he wasn't breathing.
Not him. Please, not him...please.

"Minho!"
"Minho wake up!"
"C'mon man wake up!"

"Please Minho wake up!" nothing. This made me angry. Not him, not now!

"WAKE UP!" I hit him with both my fists hard in the chest. He gasped hard and opened his eyes. We all relaxed. " Jeez Leah you're no joke." Fry said.

"Ow....that hurt Leah..." Minho said with a tiny smile. "What happened?"

"You got struck by a lightning man" Newt said.

"Oh" he looked almost proud of that. Stupid shank...

I hugged him so hard he wasn't breathing. "Hello to you to Le" he hugged me back.

We were looking around the place when a horrible smell hit us hard. Oh God...

"AAHHH!" we all screamed. The room was full of fucking cranks. They were tied with chains so we weren't reaching us.

"So you met our guard dogs." A female voice came from the other part of the room. A girl with short black hair, brown eyes and ripped clothes came into view.

"Who are you?" Thomas asked.

"Brenda. Now come on, my uncle Jorge wants to meet you." She left right through the path of cranks.

Thomas followed and we did too.

Before we arrived to this some creepy ass dudes started to surrounded us and they kept starring at me and Theresa like we were some meal. Assholes. The guys saw that. Minho pulled me closer to him while Thomas pulled Theresa close.
Newt,Fry and Aris were behind us like some bodyguards.

"Jorge they are here." Brenda said.
In the room at a table stood a tall man with grey hair and brown eyes.

"Do you ever feel like the world is against you?" he asked

"Every day honestly." i rolled my eyes. That made him chuckle.

" Three questions. Where did you come from? Where are you going? And how can I profit?"

Silence. I tensed and Minho took my hand in his. That gesture did not go unnoticed by Jorge.

"We are looking for the Right Arm." Thomas said. That made the whole room laughed.

"And where did you come from?"

"That's our bussines." Minho said serious.

Jorge's face dropped. He looks at me then.

"Scan her."

Before any of us could react, a big guy took me and pulled my head down.

"Hey get off me!"

"LET HER GO!" Minho tried to save me.
"Hey let her go now!" the group yell.

Brenda then scan the back of my head rather gently with a device. The big guy let me go and I went back into Minho's arms. "You okay Leah?"

"Yeah."

"You were right." Brenda said shocked.

"Subject B5, Leah...." Jorge said "You came from WCKD, wich means you are really...valuable."

Oh shit.
