Thomas couldn't remember how much time it had passed since he was locked in the room. All the dreams he was having, the memories he didn't want to take back. He knew he was one of the creators and had played a great part in the creation of the maze. Him and Teresa. Just the name brought up his anger and hate again. He couldn't trust her. Not after what she's done to him in the Scorch. She had hurt him more than anything else had in his life. At least the part of the life that he remembered. Anything that had happened before in the Glade was the past. The memories, the people he knew, Teresa.

Pain and rage swelled in his chest. Thomas was thinking that maybe the Flare had him in its clutches. There was no way out of it now. He was going to die trapped in those four ugly white walls that made him sick to the stomach.

He couldn't remember how much time passed when finally the white door where opened. He looked around and fixed his eyes on the black hole and looked outside. It seemed like he hadn't seen the light for years. Thomas was still watching when the Rat Man made his way in the room. Thomas was surprised that he was standing there without any protection. It seemed strange, given the fact that WICKED was full of soldiers for protection and they had to use so many just to look after some teenagers.

The Rat Man came in slowly calculating his next steps carefully. The stupid smile was still on his face and seemed to Thomas that it was imprinted there forever.

'You know that your every movement is carefully watched over. In this exact moment there are five soldiers waiting outside this room. It's only for your best. It always has been for your best. And for the best of the world.'


Thomas just nods. He is angry. But he needs to control himself. Before doing anything stupid he has to think about his friend, make sure they are all safe.


He made the decision then. Play it cool and nice, get reunited with his friend, then take the place down.

Even if would take his life, he will make them pay.

Make WICKED pay.
