Alby looked at us like we were crazy, "Ain't a good time for jokes."
"Look, I wouldn't believe me if I were you, either. But trust me, I- I mean- we did. Big fat nasty one."
"You found a dead Griever," Alby repeated.
I looked back and forth between the two, they've never found a dead Griever? "Yes, Alby," I could hear the annoyance in Minho's words. "A couple miles from here, out near the Cliff."
Alby looked at the maze then at both of us. "Well...why didn't ypu bring it back with you?"
"You been drinkin' Frypan's saucy-sauce?" I opened my mouth but Minho covered it with his hand. "Those things must weigh half a ton, right Ro?"
"I wouldn't say half a ton but whatever floats your boat."
"Plus, I wouldn't touch one if you gave me a free trip out of this place."
"Diva."
"Shut up."
"What did it look like? Were the metal spikes in or out of its body? Did it move at all- was it's skin still moist?"
"Slim it, man. You gotta see it for yourself. It's...werid."
"Werid?" Alby looked at me but I merely nodded in agreement.
"Dud, I'm exhausted, starving, and sun-sick. But if you want to haul it right now, we could probably make it there and back before the walls shut."
Alby looked at his watch and I looked at my own. "Better wait till the wake-up tomorrow."
"Smartest thing you've said all week." Minho grinned. "Take Ro, she could look around the place, she hasn't been here in how many years?"
"Five and to be honest I should go back home." I look out to the maze but Minho shakes his head.
"No, you can come with Alby and I tomorrow, don't worry. One night won't kill you, Ro."
"But-"
"No buts. Stay the night. Ro, you're the first Glader, you know how to live out there at night."
"I normally run day and night, Minho, just because I know how to live out there doesn't mean that I'm just going to up and leave my home of five years."
"You left this place."
"After three weeks, shuck-face."
"Just follow Alby around, okay?"
"Fine, but if I stay here I'm a runner."
"We'll have the council decided but I do agree now go!" He left me with Alby who was looking at me slightly surprised.
"You going to stare at me all day or get to walking?"
"Who are you?"
"I'm Ro, I'm the first Glader. I came here five years ago. Live out in the maze."
