The Glader Games

Chapter 4

The Gladers were back in their rooms getting ready for bed when a the boy named Aris popped out if the ventilation staff. "Guys, I need to show you something..." he said. The Gladers glanced at each other. "What is it?" Thomas asked. "Follow me..." Aris said as he disappeared through the ventilation shaft. "It wouldn't hurt to see what's up." Thomas said and crawled in after Aris.
They crawled for some time and reached an opening. Aris motioned Thomas to be silent. At that moment the man who called himself Janson came into view, talking to someone on his radio. "Ava wants those kids prept and ready to start the extraction " Janson said. Thomas looked at Aris and Aris stared back. Ava....
"What's taking Tommy so long" Newt asked. "Newt! Minho! Teresa! Guys!" Thomas yelled as he and Aris came tumbling out of the shaft. "What the bloody hell!?" Newt exclaimed. "What's going on Tom?" Teresa asked. "It's WICKED!" Thomas yelled "It's been WICKED all along! We have to go. We have to get out!" The Gladers packed their things and sneaked past some guards. "Wait, we can't go without getting some food. We might need it." Frypan said. "No. No time!" Thomas said as they continued to walk through the corridors. The Gladers reached a door and Newt said " I think this is it" "Thomas!" the Gladers spun around to see Janson. "we only want what's best for you." "Oh so what? WICKED is Good?" Thomas said angrily. "You won't survive one day out there in the Scorch" Grabbing a gun from a guard Minho had knocked out, Thomas shot the electric bullet at Janson. "Let's get the shuck out of here" Thomas said, opening the door that led to the Scorch. The Gladers stepped out feeling the hot sun beat down on them.
The Gladers looked at each other, already getting hot in the sweltering heat
