I wake up to a bunch of people talking.

"Shh whisper Vivian is sleeping." I hear Jeff say.

"Sorry." Clint says.

"You're horrible at whispering." I tell them sitting up.

"Oops.." Jeff says.

"What were you talking about?" I ask.

"Minho found a dead Greiver." Clint says.

"Oh that coo-waIT WHAT?" I gasp. "A dead Griever?"

"Yeah they found a dead Griever and went into the maze today." Jeff says.

"But Alby isn't a runner." I say.

"He's first in command so it was fine." Clint shrugs.

"What time is it right now?" I ask.

Jeff checks the clock. "10 am. Frypan said you don't have to work today if you don't feel up to it."

"Oh ok." I smile. "I'm going to go."

"Ok have a good time working." Jeff says as the door opens and a Glader comes in.

"I cut myself." The Glader exclaims.

"I'm out." I walk out the door to the kitchen.

"You back!" Ian exclaims.

"I back!" I grin.

"If your here your working." Frypan says. "Grab me a plastic bag please."

"Ok!" I grab a plastic bag from the cupboard and hand it to him. Looking at the bag gives me a idea...

As if Ian can sense I have a plan he says. "Vivian can you help me with this?"

"Yeah of course!" I quickly grab a bag and walk over hiding the bag in my pocket.

"What's your plan?" He whispers.

"You'll see." I smirk.

"Darn you." He mumbles. "Cut the carrots will you?"

"Yes sir." I grab a bag of carrots, cutting board and knife. " Circle Slices or sticks?"

"Sticks." Ian says. I start to cut at them into sticks.

I continue to cut the carrots into sticks just about cutting of my fingers a few times after about the 4th time Frypan speaks up.

"Vivian! Your going to cut your fingers off! Pay better attention! What's going on?"

"I'm thinking! Sorry!" I yelp. After that I don't just about cut my fingers off.

"

Ok lunch time." Fry announces.

"Finally." I sigh. I cut carrots, apples, cucumbers and onions.

"I'm going to clean up in here before I eat." I tell the boys.

"Alright." Ian says. The boys leave. I clean up my area then grab a plastic bag filling it up with water hiding it in my pocket. Afterwards I head out to lunch. I grab a plate of salad and sit with the boys.

I look over to the maze door. "When will they be back?"

"Who be back?" Frypan asks.

"Alby and Minho. They went into the maze this morning." I tell him.

"They what?" He yelps. "Why?"

"Minho found a dead Griever."

"When? What? How?"
