EPILOGUE "THE YEAR AFTER ADELINE WENT UP"

Teresa,

I know I promised I wouldn't do anything stupid. That I wouldn't go anywhere that you couldn't follow, but I made other promises too. And that was that I'd do the right thing. Because what WCKD has planned, isn't the right thing. This may be hard for you to understand, because your mind is set into believing WCKD is doing things for the greater good, but there's so much wrong with their methods. Before you worry that WCKD will read this, know that I admitted to everything. They didn't tell you anything, because they needed someone on their side. You've been loyal from the beginning, no matter how many times I've tried to convince you that WCKD isn't who they say they are.

So, as I'd promised Adeline, I did what I knew as the right thing.

Just before WCKD sent her up, she gave me a note. She told me to follow the instructions on the inside. It took me months to go through with everything, but I did. Find Dr. Mary Cooper. Get the code. Tell her everything about the Right Arm and convince her to find them. I did just that, but I was meant to go, too. I realised that once I would convince her, it would be best for Mary to get out of here alone. So, the night Mary left, I'd accessed the database. I gave her a folder of information about the trials, labs and warehouses. I told her to leave without me. As soon as I had, as soon as she'd left, I'd been cornered and escorted by guards to Paige's office. Long conversation short, I'm going up into the Maze. I needed to tell you, before I lose my memories, because you deserve to hear from me of what I did.

People can only take so much before they rebel back. Even those behind the observation screens, like Adeline had done.

Thomas.
