We finished eating at the Mess Hall and waited for Tom and his Runners to come back. I was just about to ask Minho to get together a search team when I heard commotion from outside. 

We got up from our table and walked outside. I was not ready for what I faced.

Tom was completely covered in dirt and soot. He and his Runners were back... with around 20 or so complete strangers who were also completely dirty. I was shocked.

"Tom... what?" I asked.

He grinned and said, "Hey, I'll explain right now. First I'd like to get them so food and also cleaned up."

Minho nodded and began directing our new arrivals into the Mess Hall. Once they had left he grabbed Tom by the arm and brought him over to us. 

"Explain." Minho said with a scowl on his face.

"Okay okay, chill out mate." Tom replied.

I rolled my eyes, exasperated. 

Typical Tom. Always has to come out of the blue with something and surprise us all.
