Clear as the 'Sky'

Planning

Okay, first, I'm a totaly idiot. Third chapter mistake in the same story. Personal record. I was adding this chapter when I noticed a mistake in the numbering. It appears that I left out Chapters 20 and 23. I have since fixed that so if anyone was confused that should clear everything up. At least Chapter 20 wasn't really important like my other chapter mistake. Chapter 23 on the other hand was important so if anyone had questions about why the group was suddenly with the Right Arm this should clear things up. Hopefully.

Anyway sorry for the confusion.

Sorry for leaving you on a cliffhanger...

So there's only like, 4 maybe more, chapters left to the story...*fake cry*...it's the end of an era.

Okay, I'm done. You'll have to listen to a bunch of emotional dialogue when I'm on the last chapter. Just a heads up...

Disclaimer: *sighs*...this is getting boring...*man with briefcase fills out some papers and glares*...fine...*rolls eyes*...I don't own anything. Not a single thing, except Skylar. Keep reviewing and reading

And the story continues...

Chapter 25 - Planning

I burst into the medical tent. Mary was talking to Vince. "Mary, we need to move. Now!" Vince gave me a withering look so I hastened to explain myself. "WICKED can track us. I think they branded Teresa or something. She doesn't believe bloody WICKED anymore but when they gave back her memories they might have planted a bloody microchip too. We have to pack. Now!"

Jorge had removed the one in my neck the day after I escaped. Due to the storm, WICKED would've had a hard time tracking me even if they realized I was gone. It would've taken them days to start the search. The worst sandstorm in months had been battling with Mother Nature. that day. Jorge told me WICKED branded all of their test subjects with a microchip just in case they were captured or ran away.

Mary was looking grim while Vince was already out and shouting orders. "I'll clean up the medical tent. I want all of your friends to carry a copy of the formula in case. You get your friends to help clean up. We should have this packed up and ready to go in 15 minutes. That is if everyone helps. Jorge can take Brenda. She should be waking soon anyway. I need you to find Teresa. Tell her to stall them. Don't make any deals with them. They never keep their word."

I nodded before running back to Newt and the guys. "Bloody WICKED might be tracking us. We have to pack up. They need every helping hand. I'm going to find Teresa." Newt nodded grimly. I gave him a small smile, speaking without looking behind me. "No, that does not mean you, Tommy. It's a girl thing. I might be the only one to get through to her." I knew without turning around that Tommy was blushing. I didn't mean to be rude but Tommy had a short temper and Teresa didn't need that right now.

"We need to hurry. They could be on their way as we speak. I think we're hiding the stuff in the mountains. I have to go. Remember to help!" I raced off. Teresa was probably up on the mountain ledge overlooking the camp. Tommy had motioned in that direction when he informed me that Teresa had run off.

...

I climbed as quickly as I could.

I found her sitting on the ledge. She was crying.

"Sky! You have to help me. WICKED is coming and I can't do anything to stop them." She sobbed. "They said if I told them the location they'd spare us but I knew they were lying. They never spare rebels. They'll take us all and start the Trials again. They're desperate for a cure."

I hugged her, trying to reassure her. "It'll be alright. We're packing as we speak so as long as they don't come in the next twenty minutes we're safe. I think that they will leave some tents up, no supplies, just to fool bloody WICKED. It's not your fault and I'm glad you didn't listen to them. They never keep their word. It's not your fault."

Teresa wiped her eyes, giving me a small smile.

"Do you know how long until they get here?"

Teresa shook her head. "No, but I stalled them for a good amount of time and I told them you weren't leaving so I think they'll get here in thirty minutes or so. It's a good hike away from their precious complex."

I nodded, holding out my hand to her. "How 'bout we go help pack up?"

We came down the mountain smiling.

Short chapter. Next one should be longer.

Anyway...you know how in the Scorch Trials the kids have a tag? The tracker thing that identifies them as WICKED property. It was in the movies when they meet Jorge for anyone who is still confused.

Well, they have that here too. WICKED was able to put a chip inside Teresa when they gave her memories back. That's how they were able to talk to her. The walkie-talkie was destroyed a few chapters back.

And remember, Teresa is good.

Haha...play on words...

later Gladers...keep reviewing and I'll post soon
