Thomas was sitting on the jeep, looking at the sunset in the scorch. He looked down and saw the Right Arm.

"Though I would find you here." Thomas looked back and saw Newt coming to him. Newt climbed onto the jeep and sat next to him.

"I failed Newt." Thomas softly said. Newt looked at him. "I promised Minho that they wouldn't take him away, but I failed."

"Tommy, it wasn't your fault."

"All of this was my fault. Sending you guys to the maze, watching you, trusting Teresa..."

"Tommy, look at me." Thomas looked at Newt. Newt grabbed his hand." Wicked is the one at fault, not you. You saw that they were bad, and you did something about it. You gave the Right Arm their plans, you saved us from the Maze, and you led us through the Scorch."

"People died..."

"I know, but none of us would be alive if we stayed in the Glade or Wicked. What you have done is good." Thomas nodded. They heard a radio.

"Thomas, Vince needs you." Frypan said over the radio. Soon, Harriet, Vince, Jorge, Frypan, Thomas, Newt, Brenda and a few others were looking over a map on a table.

"Are you sure they are going that day?" Thomas asked. Vince nodded.

"Yes. The train is going to take the rest of the immunes down this track. So, we can use all of this land to our advantage." Vince said, pointing at a map.

"I'll take a team to scope out the area in the morning." Jorge said, making Vince nod.

"Everyone get a good night's rest and we'll continue in the morning." Everyone nodded and went into rooms. Thomas stayed at the map, memorizing it. He didn't even know how long he was looking at it until he heard footsteps coming towards him.

"Tommy?" Thomas looked around and saw Newt looking at him, looking like he just woke up. "What are you doing?" Newt asked, coming over to him. "It's late."

"I'll be in bed in a second." Thomas said, looking back at the map. Newt placed a hand on Thomas's shoulder.

"Love, the map is not going anywhere." Newt softly said. "Now, I know you and you are not going back to bed if I leave."

"I need to figure out a plan." Newt sighed.

"We have about 7 weeks. We've got time."

"Newt...."

"Tommy." Newt placed his hand on Thomas's cheek, making him look at the blonde." You will be better help if you get some rest." Thomas sighed and nodded. "Come on." Thomas took Newt's hand, and they went to bed.
