I woke up when Newt was shaking me awake.

"Can you walk?" He asked.

I nodded then got up. I saw everyone crawling through the vent I crawled through with Newt behind me. We crawled until we got to an opening.

"You guys go there's something I gotta do," Aris said.

"Wait, Aris?" Thomas asked.

"You guys wanna get out of here, right? Just go." He said.

"I'll go with him." Winston said.

"Wait," I said and walked up to Aris.

I hugged him.

"Please come back," I said.

"I will now go," Aris said breaking out of the hug.

I nodded and he left. We walked on once we turned a corner we saw a woman walking.

"What are you kids doing out?" She asked.

And as if on cue alarms started going off. Thomas grabbed her arm and made her take us somewhere. I noticed on the way there that Newt had a limp. We turned a corner and saw a guard and he started shooting at us. We all ran back until Minho stopped he looked towards the corridor we were about to enter.

"Minho what are you doing over there?" Thomas shouted.

"Minho get over here," Newt said.

Minho then ran back that way making the guard collide with the wall, knocking him out. Thomas picked up the launcher and the lady took us to a little hospital room. There I saw a girl being woken up by Thomas. Guards started running at the door.

"Guys they're comin' what do we do?" Fry asked.

Newt thought for a second then looked over at me. We made eye contact then nodded.

"Fry Pan move!" He said.

Fry Pan moved. Newt and I both walked over to a table that had medicine on it then pushed it over. Once it was over we pushed it towards the door. I saw Thomas trying to hit the window.

"Where are we going, guys?" Fry Pan asked.

"Newt help!" Thomas shouted.

Newt ran over to Thomas and picked up another chair. They hit the window at the same time and the glass shattered. Everyone started running through the now broken window. Newt walked over to me and grabbed my hand.

"Come on let's go." He said.

I nodded and he jumped out the window before reaching for my hand. I grabbed his hand and hopped through the window. When my feet touched the ground I tripped a bit. Our faces were really close.

"Uh let's go," I said.

We separated and I grabbed hold of Milly's hand. We walked to a door on the opposite side of the room.

"Stay behind me," Thomas said holding the launcher in his hand.

Thomas opened the door and we saw a guard there.

"Freeze!" He said.

Thomas looked at the launcher in his hand and then pulled the trigger making Milly cling onto my arm and me cling onto Newt. I saw electricity shoot out from the guard from the thing that hit him. We all walked around the guard and ran towards the big door we saw when we first got here. Thomas swiped the card and it was denied. He kept doing it and it said the same thing.

"Thomas!" We all turned around to see Janson walking towards us with guards behind him.

Thomas grabbed the launcher from Minho and started walking towards Janson, cocking the launcher. Minho kept swiping the card.
