"Check the closets, the cupboards, under the furniture! Don't leave any part of the room unchecked!" Janson ordered the guards.
They spread out and started searching for something that may hie them an idea about where Teresa went.
Thomas's hands were clammy and he felt beads of sweat drip down the back of his neck.
Teresa? Thomas thought. There was no answer.
"Thomas," Janson said, interrupting his thoughts. "if we find anything, you know what will happen, don't you?"
Thomas nodded. Teresa keep too, which is what surprised Thomas the most.
He heard guards searching though his bed behind him. Thomas held his breath.
Please don't find the note. He thought to himself. Please, please.
Thomas's heart was pounding, the pit in his stomach growing bigger and bigger.
"We're clear." He heard one of the guards say.
It took everything Thomas had to keep from sighing.
"Are you done now?" He asked.
"Yes," Janson said. "but we're keeping an eye on you." Thomas nodded.
Janson started walking to the door, all the guards following behind.
That's it, Thomas said. It's done.
"Hey!" The last guard yelled. "I found something!"
Thomas sucked in a breath.
"Let me see!" Janson pushed past the guards and grabbed the note out of the guard's hands.
He read the note out loud so that everyone in the room could hear.
While they were distracted, Thomas took the chance to run. He bolted out of the room, shooting past the guards.
"Don't jut stand there! Go after him!" He heard Janson order the guards, his voice fading away as he twisted and turned a round all the corners.
He heard footsteps coming closer. The guards were gaining on Thomas and fast.
"There he is!"
Thomas ran faster. He pushed himself, running faster then he could have imagined.
Then he heard the crackle of the electric launcher grenade smashing to the ground behind him. Then more grenades started flying, smashing all around him.
Thomas had to find Chancellor Paige. She helped Teresa escape, maybe she could help him too.
He was almost at the exit when he heard a crash and a pain exploded all throughout his body.
