Minho woke up the next morning determination flowing through his veins. He was going to find Elizabeth, he need to.
He rolled out of bed and pulled his boots on before making his way out of his room.
He headed in the direction of the Kitchen where he saw Newt and the rest of the remaining Runners sitting at one of the tables quietly talking.
Minho plopped himself down beside the blonde teen who just pushing his food around his plate with his fork.
"Hey ya Shank," Minho tried to lighten the mood.
Newt didn't reply for a moment. "Do you really think you'll find her?"
"I'm not letting any of the Runners have a day off until we find her," Minho explained.
"Good that," Newt replied.
The early rays of the morning sun begun to hit the Glade signaling the Runners that the doors were about to open.
"Alright Runners. Let's get moving," Minho called through the room.
One after the other Runners finished their food and made their way towards the map room. Minho entered last, closing the door behind him. Before turning his attention to the others.
"Today is not about finding a way out. The Greenie ran out into the Maze last night and was trapped. Newt and Alby have ordered that she is to be found. Dead or alive."
Pain tugged at Minho's heart as he said the last part. He hoped deep down that Elizabeth was alive out there.
"Not one person is to come back to this place until either you find her or the doors are going to close," He told everyone.
After Minho split all of the Runners into pairs, they all made their way over to the designated doors. Minho joined up with the Runner Ben at the eastern door.
"Why do you think she went out there?" Ben asked as they waited for the doors to open.
"I really don't know. Newt said she wasn't herself so maybe she thought running out there would help, as crazy as it sounds," Minho replied.
Ben looked over at him. "Does she know what's out there?"
Minho shook his head. "No, Newt said he only told her about the walls moving. He didn't get the chance to let her know about the Grievers."
"Do you think they stung her?"
"God, I hope not," Minho sighed.
The ground suddenly trembled as the doors to the moving Maze opened. The two boys looked over at each other before sprinting inside.
"What's the plan for today Minho? There's no way we will find her unless we split up," Ben explained as they made their way towards the outer section.
Minho knew he was right. With the Maze being as big as it was, he knew the best chance they had at finding the Greenie was to split up and search that way.
"Alright at the next intersection you go right and I'll go left. We meet up again at the end of the day," Minho ordered.
"Sounds like a plan," Ben replied as they continued running.
10 minutes later the two Runners divided and went their own way in hopes of finding Elizabeth.
"Elizabeth!" Minho called through the Maze, hoping to find some sort of clue to his friend's whereabouts.
He just hoped nothing bad had happened to her. He wasn't sure how strong she really was.
Has a Griever already got her? Was she already dead?
So many things ran through his head as he continued his search for his friend.
