DELICATE - TMR, Gally

025: stupid shanks

(gallys pov)
How stupid of Alby to not banish them already.

Gally clenched his fists as he walked up to the slammer. Now Aria had sat her time, and she were finally getting free.

He pulled up the key from his back pocket and put it in the hole.

-"You alive in there?" He joked but felt a shiver up his spine as he got no rely.

-"Aria?" He hurried with the key and when he found her on the floor, Gally found no one words.

-"Clint! Jeff! Aria needs help right now!" He hurried to pick her weak body in his arms and ran across the glade towards the med hut as he met Clint on the way.

Clint's jaw dropped but he pulled himself together fast.

-"Okay check her breathing and pulse while I go get a syringe."

Gally nodded and felt her pulse, it was weak but still there.

Her breathing was almost entirely gone and Gally shook her body.

-"Aria wake up... please..." he whispered in her ear as more gladers came up to them.

Thomas, who had been let out from the slammer yesterday, of course ran up to him.

-"What happened?!"

Gally stared at Thomas, not letting go off Arias body.

-"What do you think happened shank. We don't know. Now back off and let Clint do his job."

(thomas pov)
Gally waved him off and Thomas ran up to the slammer where Gally had found her.

The floor wasn't empty, around the middle of the room was a notebook that was opened with a pen on the side.

Slowly Thomas picked up the notebook and read what she had wrote, just minutes before Gally came.

"None of this is real. It's all fake. The map is buried in the forest next to a tree near-"

That was everything she had wrote.

-"Hey Newt! Look what I found!" Thomas shouted as he ran out to the others who were stood around Aria.

-"Not now Thomas, we have bloody bigger issues." Newt just hissed and Thomas walked up to Ben who he kind of knew.

-"Hey Ben! I found something you might want to-"

Ben spun around and he looked like he wanted to beat Thomas up.

-"Not now Thomas, shuck off."

Thomas swallowed. "But it's important!"

Ben rolled his eyes and pushed through the crowd of people to get to Aria.

Thomas sighed and looked down at the notebook in his hand.

What if I just went there myself?

Fast without anyone realizing Thomas ran off towards the forest.

-"Near what..." he mumbled and looked around on all of the trees.

Near the lake maybe?

He had overheard some conversation about Aria often spending her time there.

Of course it's next to the lake!

Thomas just crouched down to all the trees, seeing if any of them looked like someone just had dug down something.

After four failed trees he found something that looked more promising, and the tree was more closer to the water than the others.

Thomas picked up a nearby stick and started digging with it until he hit something hard.

He pushed his hand through the dirt and found a jar, fast he pulled it up.

He unscrewed the lid and pulled out the paper that laid inside.

A map.
