      Jesse sat up. "Minho?.."
      He hugged her tighter. "What?"
     "I think it was a memory.." His head lifted off the pillow.
     "Oh shucking hell. Tell me..." He said, sitting up as well, arms still wrapped around her waist.
     "There was a lady and my mom I guess... and I was little... there were these zombie like things and soldiers..and the l-lady..." She blubbered out, hot tears streaming down her pale face.
     "Shh...You're safe now..." Minho said, rocking her back and forth gently.
     They just sat there for a bit, rocking back and forth. Finally, Jesse wiped her eyes.
     "Minho, what time is it?.."
     He checked his watch and rushed to a nearby dresser. "Dammit, I've gotta get to the Maze. Its 8:31. I should've been up at 5." He said as he suited up.
      "Can I be a runner?.." Jesse asked quickly.
       He turned his head to her. "No."
       "Why?"
        "If the Maze was all a bunch of flowers and sunshine, I'd say yes. Sadly, it isn't," He replied. "I just want you to be safe, Jesse."
      "Can you at least give me a chance?.." She asked quietly. "I don't even have a job yet."
       He sighed. "I'll talk to Alby and Newt about it tonight. I've gotta go. See you tonight!" He slung a backpack over his shoulders and ran out to the Maze. She couldn't wait till tonight.
