The Death Cure - Gally oc

Destruction

Finley's POV.

Gally and I move in behind the WCKD guards cornering the boys, our guns up, trying to blend in.

"You three, don't move!" The guard closest to the front orders. "Take it easy." We continue to move forwards with the other four guards. I spot Thomas' hand itch for the handgun on his leg. "Uh uh uh! Don't even think about it! Get on your knees with your hands in the air." The same guard orders.

This has gone on long enough. I turn and shoot the two guards closest to me with my blaster, Gally getting the others. He takes a few strides towards his confused friends and removes his mask.

"Gally?" Minho says in disbelief, he thought he killed him up until now. I can't imagine what that must feel like.

"Minho." Gally nods, "You guys are nuts."

I lift my mask and toss it to the side. "Lets clear out, their back up will be here any second." Minho eyes flick to me, only looking more confused. "Finley, nice to meet you."

We run down the street and hide behind some wide cement blocks, just as a helicopter passes not far from us.

"Well, they're definitely pissed." Gally says from my left.

"How far are the tunnels?" Thomas asks eyeing Newt leaning on a bench opposite us next to Minho. His condition had considerably worsened since I last saw him.

"12 blocks." I answer.

"We can make it." Gally reassures him.

"Hey," Minho shuffles over, "how long has he been like this?"

"He'll be okay." Thomas avoids the question. "We just gotta get to Brenda, she's got the serum." He sheds the outer layer of the WCKD uniform before he rushes over to Newt. Disliking the extra weight I do the same.

"Why are you helping us Gally?" Minho asks. "I put a spear through your chest."

"Yeah, nobody's perfect man." He pats Minho on the shoulder and goes to help Thomas. I toss my WCKD disguise to the side.

"And who are you?" Minho asks, addressing me for the first time.

"Finley."

"Yeah, that clears things up." Sarcastic was always Gally's go to descriptor for Minho.

I wrack my brain for a short answer he'll understand. "I'm Gally's friend."

"Friend huh, been demoted have I?" Gally jokes in a monotone voice, a few feet away.

"Shut up."

"What?" Minho asks.

"We need to move." I say, getting up. I hold my gun firmly in front of me.

With Thomas and Minho supporting Newt we run towards the tunnels. A few blocks down we're stopped by the force of a bright orange explosion, one bigger than I'd ever seen before. "That was the wall." I say in shock, mouth agape.

"We're supposed to take down WCKD not the whole damn city." Gally protests, clearly bothered.

"Guys, come on." Thomas draws us back to the matter at hand.

"The tunnels are right up ahead." Gally informs eight blocks later, only to find our path blocked by a wall of WCKD soldiers. "Shit! Stay low!" We all follow the instruction and find our backs pressed against a large cement planter. Gally peers around the corner at the blockade, "Damn it."

"What are they waiting for?" Minho hisses.

I share a dark look with Gally, one disturbed by a massive explosion. "Shit, get down!"
