seems like this side mission is going to be a waste of time. The building the helicopter was heading towards was no bigger than the farm we stayed in a while ago, bot to mention that the people who came here just raided this place like there was no tomorrow.
We had made it way sooner than expected and had to hide out under some fallen debris.
It was not the biggest space so we had to squeeze in meaning I was sandwiched between Thomas and Aris. Ceylon had the luck of getting Emme between her and Newt. Jessica -who still didn't talk to me- was pressed against Aris and Aaliya who then was pressed against Frypan.
Those two were the only ones who didn't seem to mind this closeness, chatting and sharing jokes with one another like we are on some grand holiday. Though I had to admit it was nice to see her have a good time, I only felt akward having my faced almost completely burried in Thomas chest. Not to mention that I felt Aris his breath down my neck every few seconds.
If that went on any longer I would have given myself up to Wicked.
Finally around sunset we were able to move away from our hiding spot as the helicopter took off again. But we still waited for nightfall just in case.
But caution was not necessarily at all. The door was even left open. Though Ceylon thought it could've been a trap but then they helicopter wouldn't have left.
Now we are walking through almost completely empty weapons depot. Some hand guns were left behind by wicked but not as much as I hoped when I had learned it was a weapo depot.
"Makes you wonder what they need it for" Thomas muttered next to me shining his flashlight over some empty shelves.
Grimly I nod "nothing good"
"Nothing they do s ever good" Newt says behind us. I turn around and see him and Ceylon walking up to us. Next to me Thomas let's out what I believe to be a chuckle but it sounden more like a cough.
"WCKD is good" he says bitterly making me and Ceylon very confused.
"What does that mean" Emme asks him before either of us het the chance. Ceylon wasn't expecting her and jumped slightly when Emme suddenly spoke next to her.
"Something Ava paige likes to repeat" Newt says as he examines a gun he picked up.
"Anyone who needs to keep reminding people that they are good are usually the complete opposite" I told him and he snickered.
"And how do you know this wisdom" Frypan teased as he Aaliya and the rest entered the room, all looking for a few left over weapons.
"Common sense I suppose" I teased back "If someone kept telling me they were doing good things while obviously hurting me, i wouldn't exactly be convinced"
"Point taken" He says throwing a gun to the floor muttering something about being empty. Newt guns joins his as it was also without ammo. What a waist of time.
"Hey guys check this out" Jessica calls from the far end of the room. Quickly we scuttle over to her.
On one of the shelves is a box that according to the name tag should be full of ammo. "It's to heavy to lift for me" Jessica explains before any of us can aks why she just called us over to look at a box. But this gives us some hope.
Thomas and Newt both grab one side of the box, lifting it and letting it drop on the floor. "Jackpot" they say highfiving each other. Thank god this side trip wasn't a complete fail after all. We quickly all go back searching for a gun, Newt and Frypan taking it easy by just grabbing the ones they tossed earlier.
I have less luck finding a working one, most I find have actually been torn apart, like some kind of production fail. And I really need a new gun mine is completely filled with sand that I doubt he will ever fire again. I did find two knives though who could come in handy.
"Here" I hear a voice suddenly say behind me making me jump a little.
"Sorry didn't me to startle you" Thomas scratches the back of his head awkwardly before putting a gun in my hand "I found two and when I saw you searching like that I might thought you needed one so eh here you go" he almost blurted it like one one instead of a really long sentence.
"Thank you I couldn't find a good one" I smile back st him and see him visible relax, was I that threatening?
"Yeah they really raided this place dry" he mutters, going back to the previous conversation we had. It was worrysome that they did but there is little we can do about it.
"Well at least they left some thing behind, something is better than nothing"
He nods in agreement and we again fall in an awkward silence, it usually happens when we are talking. Most of the time we when we walk next to each other we say nothing.
"So what was your roll in the maze?" He asks while pretending to be interested in some empty shelve.
"Leader I suppose, me and Ceylon were the first. She became a runner and I leader" I explain my mind briefly going back to our first day.
We were both so scared to get out of thst cage and when we did we stood in this grass field with a few trees, huge walls surrounding us. I never felt so trapped in my life, like a labrat in a cage while people were testing on it, which is exactly what wicked did.
God and thst first night-
"Ehm Rhain?" Thomas asked hesitantly while placing his hand on my shoulder
"Oh sorry I zoned out, what were you saying?" He looked at me like he wanted to say something else, most likely about me not hearing him but he shrugs it of.
"Just saying that it seems to come natural to you the leadership thing" he smiles at me and squeezes my shoulder, I don't exactly know why he does that be somehow the smile and his action make me blush a bit.
"Hey if everyone has ammo and a gun can we go?" I hear Jessica complain.
