Subject Zero

Chpt. 11

3rd person's P.O.V.

Newt was at breakfast smiling like a lunatic while Thomas was glaring at Janson calling out the kid's names that were being 'Brought To A Safer Place.'

"I want to know what's through that door..." Thomas whispered.

"Now we've been over this, Thomas. You said they were covered up so you don't know what you and Newt saw. It could've been anything under there." Winston whispered to Thomas.

"Why are you so happy?" Minho asked Newt.

"Nothing just, thinking of something that happened yesterday night." Newt said still smiling but not as much as before.

"Ok..." Frypan mumbled, unsure what else to say.

"I know exactly what we saw, they were bodies. Aris said they bring in a new batch every night." Thomas whispered to them.

"Who the hell is Aris?" Minho asked Thomas, who was still glaring at Janson. He took his eyes of Janson for a few seconds to point to Aris' direction. They all looked at the boy who they saw yesterday.

"Well, I'm sold." Minho said.

"And last but not least, David." Janson called out the last person's name for that day.

"Thank you for your attention. Enjoy the rest of your day." Everyone applauded and then they went right back to eating.

"Okay, until we know anything for certain, we should keep our heads down and try not to draw any attention to ourse-" Newt tried to say but something caught his eye. Everyone, including Aris, looked to his direction and their eyes widen.

    It was Y/N with everyone except Percy, Thomas and Newt saw last night. They were being escorted to somewhere else. They were being led by the lady they saw last night bringing in the bodies. Thomas and Newt looked at each other with worried faces. Then Thomas slammed his hands on the table, stood up and started going towards the guard standing in front of the doors.

"What is he doing?" Newt whispered. Even Newt didn't know what Thomas was going to do.

"It think he's drawing attention to himself." Frypan said to Newt.

"Woah, hang on there. You weren't called." The guard said to Thomas.

"I know, I just want to see my friend, it'll only take a minute." Thomas said to the guard.

"This is a restricted area, kid." Another guard said to Thomas.

"Please, I'm worried about my friend. I just want to see them. Now, can you please let me in?" Thomas asked politely.

"Get your ass back in that chair." The guard said to Thomas, slightly pushing him. Thomas turned around in defeat and started walking away. Then he made a sharp turn and tried to jump the guards.

"Back off!!" The guard said pushing Thomas back. Everyone of his friends ran up to Thomas.

"What's your problem, man? What the hell, huh?" Thomas said trying to push the guards

"I said back off!!" The guard said pushing Thomas, Janson heard the screaming and ran to them from inside.

"Why won't you let me see them?" Thomas screamed at the guard as his friends pulled him away.

"Control your friend!" The guard screamed at Newt.

"What's happening here?" Janson asked.

"Oh, Thomas...I thought we could trust each other." Janson said Thomas. He looked around and back at Thomas.

"You know we're all on the same team here." Janson said to Thomas while putting his hand on his shoulder.

"Are we?" Thomas asked him.

"Get them to their bunks.'' Janson said to the guards. They did as they were told and they dragged them to their bunks.

"Get your asses in there!!" The guard said pushing Thomas inside. Then they closed the door.

"What the hell was that about?" Minho asked Thomas.

"You didn't really think they'll let you through?" Newt said to Thomas, even though he loved Y/N, he still does but he fears if he does anything to draw attention them or her, they'll hurt or possibly kill her.

"Nah, of course I didn't." Thomas said as he pulled out a key card. They all oohed.

"I'm going to find out what's on the other side of that door." Thomas said to them.

"Right...'' Newt said to Thomas while shaking his head.

"Newt, they're hiding something. Okay? You know that, these people are not who they say they are. You saw it with your own eyes, Newt." Thomas said walking towards the vents but Newt stopped him.

"I know that, Thomas, but no, we don't know that! You yourself don't know that!" Newt said to him.

"The only thing that we do know is that they helped rescue us from W.I.C.K.E.D. They gave us new clothes. They gave us food. They gave us a proper bed. Some of us haven't had that in a long time." Newt continued.

"Yeah, but..." Thomas tried to speak but Newt cut him off.

"Some of us a lot longer than others." Newt finished. Then the vent door started rattling and then it slid almost half way across the room. Everyone stepped back as Aris and Percy climbed out.

"Hey, Thomas." Aris said.

"What the..." Frypan said quietly.

"You got it, didn't you?" Aris asked Thomas climbing back into the vents as Percy just stands there.

"Yeah. Yeah, let's go." Thomas said.

"Hey, I'm Aris and his name is Percy. We're friends of Y/N. He'll stay here and explain everything to you while me and Thomas go and find out what is in the door." Aris said as he climbed back in the vents.

"All right, look, maybe your guys are right. Maybe I'm just being paranoid." Thomas said going inside the vents. Everyone except for Percy bent down to Thomas.

"But I got to find out for sure. Just cover for me. I'll be back as soon as I can." Thomas finished as he went deeper inside the vents. Everyone looked at each other with unsure looks and then they looked up at Percy who was already looking at them.

     Who Percy? Find out later, probably. Idk
