Urban Gladers (Maze Runner Fanfiction)

Chapter 10

Thomas shook his head to try and clear it. He picked up the discarded gun and shot the black blobs in his vision. He had never used a gun before, and the thought that he could have possibly hit his friends didn't occur to him. Out of sheer dumb luck, he didn't. And Teresa and Minho set the two guards down, gently.

Thomas crouched by Newt and looked at his frozen face. Thomas reached into his pocket and pulled out a a few crumpled dollar bills.

"You lost the bet this time, Newt," he croaked, "I didn't make it in time."

He threw the money out of the van in fury while he and Minho sobbed over their best friend. Teresa sat by and stared at Newt's body, her face contorted with disgust, pain, and sorrow all in one.

The two boys pulled themselves together as the kissed their best friend's cheek and stood. Thomas and Minho undressed the two guards and Teresa and Minho put on te disguises. The three of them stuffed the two guards into the truck and locked them in with Newt, then began to walk away.

"The girls went to go get a getaway car." Minho told Teresa.

"Where will this getaway car be exactly?" Teresa questioned.

Minho stopped in his tracks and looked at Thomas who returned his look.

"Ah SHIT."

Thomas wasn't looking at Teresa, but by the tone of her voice, he could tell she was annoyed,

"You didn't tell them where to meet you?!"

"I'm gonna take a wild guess," Said minho, "and say that those three badasses took one of the guard cars, because if they got anything else, they'd be spotted and killed on sight."

Minho looked to Teresa, who thought about what he said, then shrugged.

"Seems like the smartest thing to do, I guess."

"Wonderful. Let's find them first, then we take care of Ratman." Thomas said.

Te three of them started to sneak around the camp, which was not difficult to do. Nearly everyone was wearing their helmets and seemed to not give the three of them a second glance.

Thomas surveyed the camp site. It seemed to take up most of the city's Central Park. However, it was now fenced around with patrol cars surrounding it and a single gate, where three cars stood, with three people standing outside the cars as well. Thomas bet at least one of them had to be the girls.

"Hold on a sec," Teresa piped, "you two stay here. I have an idea."

And with that she scurried off towards the gate, and Thomas and Minho simply gazed after her.

Teresa approached the gate and three guards looked at her. She knew one way that would get her friends to show their faces, and that only way was to show them her's. With her heart pounding, she reached up and removed her helmet. Two of the guards stood absolutely still, as if in shock, but the third raced into action, roundhouse kicking one of the guards in the groin while Teresa punched the other in the chest as he grunted and fell. She continued by removing his helmet and punched him to knock him out. She looked up at the last guard standing, who removed her helmet to reveal Harriet's glowing face.

"I'll take care of these two. Sonya and Brenda are inside. I'll get them in these uniforms."

Teresa smiled at her friend and gave her a quick hug before returning to Thomas and Minho on the other side of the park.
