𝗜𝗧 𝗪𝗔𝗦 𝗔𝗟𝗥𝗘𝗔𝗗𝗬 𝗡𝗜𝗚𝗛𝗧 when I started to wander around the facility. I couldn't sleep, hoping that Aris and the Gladers were making their way out now.

I was walking in the lab to finish some works for tomorrow when I heard footsteps.

I quickened my pace, and turned to an intersection, only bumping the back of a blonde boy, it was Newt. He quickly turned around, the shock on his face started to fade when he realized it was just me.

"Bloody Glade, (Y/n). You scared the klunk out of me," he said.

"I'm sorry," I giggled softly. "What are doing here by the way? It's already past bedtime. "

The color in Newt's face drained and I can see that he was in panic mode. He open-close his mouth like a goldfish. Maybe he's trying to say something but was just afraid.

"Newt, what does it take you so long?!" Minho shouted and his face fell when he saw me. "(Y-Y/n)..."

"Hi Minho. Seems like you're in a rush, aren't you?" I smirked, and that made the both of them paler.

"Hey, we need to find Tere-" Thomas trailed off when he saw me.

"What the shuck..." Frypan mumbled.

"Looks like you're lost. Looking for something boys?" I said with a smirk. God, their reactions were priceless.

Thomas opened his mouth to speak but I shushed him with a finger. "Follow me. You're running out of time."

I started walking to the hall where they held Teresa. The boys remained standing and confusedly staring at each other.

"Hey! Do you wanna get caught? Follow me! Time's running."

They looked at each other, and Newt walked over to me and I noticed that he had a limp.

"Newt-"

"She can be trusted, Tommy."

"How can you say that?"

"Because... I can feel it. I trust her."

I sighed, "Okay, you can trust me. I'm going to take you Teresa. I'm also going to help you escape. I'm Aris's friend, and yes, I'm working for WICKED but I'm not like them, that's why I'm helping you. Now let's go."

The alarms wailed when we were on the way to the lab, the guards rushed to us with their Launchers. They fired their weapons as we ran. Luckily, they missed their shots, making the electric bullets ricocheting on the walls.

We turned into an intersection when Minho, out of the blue, ran to the other guard and sent him down with a flying kick. The guard immediately collapsed on the floor, unconscious.

I stared at him with my jaw on the floor. Did he just do that? Is he some character in Tekken?!

"Oh klunk..." Newt gaped.

Thomas picked the guard's Launcher and we ran to our destination.

We reached the hall where Teresa is, Thomas opened the door using my access card that Aris gave to them. Frypan guarded the doors as we walked inside.

"Teresa, let's go." Thomas helped her get up from the bed.

"Tom, what's going on?" she asked.

"We need to go."

"Give me your hands!" Newt shouted and tied the scientists' hands. "(Y/n), help me here." He gave me a cloth to tie my colleagues' hands.

"(Y/n)...?" one scientist called me. I turned my head, it was Margaret.
