After what almost felt like forever, Thomas got up. Brushed himself of the dust and dirt that collected on his clothing. Brenda had already left but Minho was standing there with a tear streaked face, breathing heavily and looking straight into Thomas' bloodshot eyes.
"Why did you kill him Thomas?" Minho said in a husky tone which sent chills up Thomas' spine.
Thomas took a deep breath and said, "Do you remember the time we were in WICKED HQ and you and Newt had that big fight? We were in the weapons room. Do you remember when he called me out of the room to talk to me? Well, he gave me a note and he said not to open it until the time was right." Another deep breath "By the time I opened it, it was too late. He had already become a crank. The note said, 'kill me, if you've ever been my friend, kill me.'"
At this Minho's face became pale, his eyes widened in disbelief, but soon changed to something like realisation. A tear trickled down his cheek and he brushed it away quickly.
"You know I believe you right? He tried to kill himself in the maze one day, he wanted to die. So I'm not surprised that this was his decision."
"So you're not angry with me-"
-of course I'm angry with you shank! He was my best buddy and now he's gone, but at least you put him out of his misery." Minho shook his head
"When did you kill him?"
"When I was on my way to WICKED HQ to set up the assassination of the Right Arm I saw him from the van. He looked so messed up man, but he remembered me, and his eyes were full of pain and anger towards me, but it was his words stung the most."
"He was a good guy."
"Yeah, he was."
Thomas and Minho stood there in awkward silence looking anywhere but each other.
"I should go, I need to find Brenda and apologise, ah, I'll see you round."
Just as Thomas was walking away past Minho, Minho grabbed his arm and said
"I'm glad you told me about this, you've lifted some weight off my back and I can live in peace now knowing that Newt is in a better place than this shuck world."
Thomas nodded slowly and ran off.
