NEWT POV: 

I raised my hand and Thomas squeezed his eyes shut. I cut the vines and Thomas opened his eyes letting his arms fall to his side. "I won't turn you Tommy" I said. "Oh come Newt" said Gally annoyed. "What" I asked angrily and turned to him. "You really think he won't tell anyone about us" Gally asked. "Ya" I said. I turned to Thomas. "And you better not tell anyone about us or be in the maze at night again or I will turn you into a halfing" I said. "Wow" said Gally annoyed. He stormed off. Thomas hugged me and I hugged him back. "Thanks Newt" said Thomas. "Ya" I said a little sadly. I hope Thomas didn't notice. We broke the hug. "Come on, let's get you back to the glade" I said. Thomas and I ran back to the glade. I had to slow down so he can keep up. we climbed the wall and went to the sleep area. Thomas laid down on his hammock. "Good night Tommy" I said. I started leaving but Thomas grabbed my arm. I turned back to him. 

"Can you please lay with me? Just until I fall asleep" asked Thomas. I smiled. "Sure Tommy" I said. I laid down on the hammock and held Thomas in my arms. He closed his eyes and fell asleep. I stayed with him until morning. He didn't say I had to leave and I don't want to. Besides it's either lay here with Tommy or go find Gally where ever that bloody shank is. Probably still mad but I trust Thomas. Plus I don't know how but he said he would die if he became half griever. I mean if he was a girl (Grievers run on Testosterone) I see why but he clearly isn't so how? 

THOMAS POV: 

I paid my part of the meal  and looked at Janson. He said he just wanted to talk and also knocked out my body guard so I figured it was this or death. "So why did you wanna talk to me" I asked. "My kind knows exactly who you are" said Janson. My kind? He can't be referring to race or anything like that so......crap. I bolted up and ran for the door. I should of known the restaurant being empty was weird. Especially since it's noon almost. 

Where is the lunch crowd. I tried to open the doors. It didn't work. They were locked. Janson walked up to me and I turned to face him. "Stephen I can help you" said Janson. "I prefer Thomas" I snapped. "Thomas" said Janson. "Why would you help me" I asked angrily. "I'm a citizen who cares. Stephanie" said Janson. I held Janson's shirt. "HOW DO YOU KNOW ABOUT THAT" I yelled. The rest of the staff came and pointed guns at me. I signed and let go of Janson's shirt. Everyone removed their guns. "It's simple Thomas. No one just get's surgery on their chest for no reason" said Janson. "There was a tumor" I said. "THAT WAS A LIE" Janson snapped. I did jump a little. Janson took a deep breath and relaxed. "I know your father is president and I know enough about his family. Every secret he hid. Including yours" said Janson. I frowned. "And what, I assume you have some life changing technology that will help" I said sarcastically. "That is one way to put it" said Janson. My smile quickly faded. "Now Thomas, you can either leave and forget all about me or have us help you but you have to come with us" said Janson. I frowned. I didn't want to forget. "Fine" I said.
