Newt stood in front of the Gladers. I was slightly behind him. "So by now you've met the Greenie," he said, and I feebly waved from behind him, smiling awkwardly. "The Keepers already know this, but she has a tattoo on her arm, counting down the days we have to get out."
"How many?" someone yelled.
"Thirteen," Newt said grimly. "And the tattoo changes. So two days ago it was fifteen, now it's thirteen."
The crowd erupted with noise, as people started talking and yelling. Newt finally got them quieted down.
"So what's the point of this meeting?" Gally said, angry. "Decided today was a good day to remind us of our mortality?"
Newt looked exhausted, pale. "I was wondering if anyone had any brilliant ideas."
Say it, the Chancellor whispered.
Shut it, I whispered back, biting my lip, then carefully walked around Newt, feeling as if I was going to fall.
"I think..." I said, so quietly that a hush fell over the entire Glade so they could hear me. "I think," I said louder, "We need to re-institute the Runners."
