When they got back, a meeting was called again, this time with only the keepers, Newt and Thomas. Handing the beeping device over to Newt, Thomas and Minho explained where they had gone on their escapade.

"We found this. It was inside a griever."

Newt studied the device in his hands, "These are the same letters we get on our supplies."

"And all my medical equipment." Elizabeth added.

"Yeah," Thomas nodded, "Whoever put us here obviously made the grievers. This is the first real clue, the first anything you've found in over three years, right Minho?"

"Right." Minho nodded.

"Newt, we've gotta go back out there. Who knows where this might lead us?" Thomas proposed.

Newt looked over to Gally, who was stood with his arms crossed and a deep frown on his face.

"You see what he's trying to do, right?" He asked Newt, "First he breaks our rules then he tries to get us to abandon them totally. The rules are the only thing that have ever held us together. Why now are we questioning them? If Alby were here you know he'd agree with me. This shank needs to be punished."

Newt looked to Thomas and then handed the device to Minho, "Your right. Thomas broke the rules. One night in the pit and no food."

"Oh, come on, Newt. One night in the pit? You think thats gonna stop him from going into the maze?" Gally whined childishly.

"No. And we can't just have non-runners running into the maze whenever they feel like it. So let's just make this official. Starting from tomorrow, you're a runner." Newt declared

"Wow." Gally sighed and stormed off. Frypan followed, attempting to calm him.

"Thanks Newt."

Thomas and Minho left, went back into the woods. Minho had wanted to show Thomas the map room before his first day as a runner. Elizabeth stayed back in the council hall with Newt.

"That was a good call." She told him.

Newt sighed, "Yeah. Gally's not happy though."

"Gally's never happy. You could tell him we're leaving tomorrow and going back to our old lives and he'd still find something to complain about."

"Yeah, it's just.. this whole 'being the leader' thing is a lot harder than it seems. A lot harder than Alby makes it look. He better wake up bloody soon."

"I think your doing a good job," Elizabeth reassured him, "He'd be proud."

"Thanks Lizzy."

"Guys!" Jeff appeared at the door, panting.

"What?" Elizabeth asked, seeing the look of panic on his face.

"It's the girl. She's awake. You need to come now."

Elizabeth left without another word and could immediately upon leaving the hall, see a crowd of boys forming below the tree house having various objects thrown at them. Chuck was stood far back and Elizabeth stood next to him as Newt rushed forward into the crowd with Jeff.

"What the hell happened?" Elizabeth asked, but she was quite amused by the scene.

"I have no idea but she is so cool." Chuck chortled.

Minho and Thomas made their way over, followed by Clint.

"What's going on?" Thomas asked.

"Girls are awesome." Chuck replied, pointing over to the tree house.
