Altered {Maze Runner}

Pateint VX

*Meanwhile at TMCS (The Main Control System)*

3rd Person POV

"Janson." Maddy's voice was firm, "She's getting out of hand, she's distracting Thomas and Newt from what they need to accomplish. She has to be removed immediately. Subject C1 was never even part of the plan! This is getting out of hand- we need to eliminate her. Now." the short ginger stood before the scruffy faced man, much like a rat.

"She'll be fine. Keep her away from them if necessary to accomplish the task at hand. If feelings are indeed sprouting between the boys and things trigger rage or jealousy- only then do you have my permission to remove Subject C1. Is that understood?" he shoved past the scrawny girl wandering to the TMCS (The Main Control Center).

"But sir-"

"Can I count on you Maddy, that you will obey the orders provided?" he haltered as she fell back behind him.

"Affirmative." she agreed sighing slightly then heading for her Box. Janson nodded proceeding to TMCS. He snuck into the main seat clicking on his microphone. Suddenly a guard burst through the door, his face startled and daunt.

"What is it Mason? Is it really appropriate to intrude when the End is triggered? Much work is to be done before the Glader's awaken!" he hollered slamming his fists roughly against his desk placed before him.

"Yes, sir. Patient VX is showing signs of rage, we were told to inform you immediately when she reaches any stage higher than indicated on the scale." Mason declared flinching at Janson's sudden outburst.

"Patient VX.... Is that-?"

"Yes, sir. Logan's alternative for Project Altered."

Janson bounded from his seat while the guard steered the rat faced man towards the hospital.

"What do you mean she's regaining her memory?!" Janson barked combing his fingers through his coarse hair. The doctor before him heaved a breath as Janson's lips escaped a scream. "This is not what you told me. You told me that the amnesia should last for years. It's only been a couple months. This is not part of the Project. She needs to have no memory of the past until the project is fulfilled. We're not destined to need her till 3 months. If she has her complete memory she will surely attempt an escape causing the whole Project to have pause. Right now, we can't afford pausing it! The Subjects are leaving the Maze at a rather progressing rate. See to it that if she is to gain every piece of the puzzle that she stays in that cell. Is that understood Dr. Hanison?" the doctor nodded vigorously. Janson huffed and approached the cell.

The patient barley contained in the straps gripping its ((yes I'm using "it" so then you guys don't know the gender MWHAHAHA!!)) feeble ankles and wrists. Its bones began to seep throw its skin, causing the chains to loosen. The chair beneath was cushioning it as its deep gaze drifted to the ceiling, not scattering even when Janson appeared. Janson knocked lightly while it's gaze securely burned into the ceiling. Janson rubbed his nuckles, as he always seems to do when he gets agitated.

"Hello, Patient VX. It's been a while." he mused scratching away at his callused nuckles. "I've been informed you've been asking questions about your history. I understand it may be confusing-"

"Janson." it spontaneously barked through the padded room. Janson's heart pounded a deeper rhythm. He swiveled around to notice a window behind him, realizing you may only witness the scene from the other side of the window he found himself twisting back towards its direction.

"Yes, indeed... I am Janson." he confirmed approaching swiftly.

"Can you tell me why I'm here? Can you tell me where I'm from? Can you tell me how I've arrived in this place? Can you tell me why my memory is erased?" it's eyes stayed focus on the ceiling as Janson met it at its wooden chair.

"Why of course I can. But why would I?" he retorted now circling its chair as it struggled to lock its glare at the ceiling.

"Are you scared of what I might do? Are you scared that I may escape?" it contemplated testing the boundaries at which Janson may burst into rage, or keep calm.

"No. We are afraid of what you'd become. You see, we have you for a reason. The world is coming to an end soon, we require the help of... Some people who may be quite fond to you. We don't want you getting hurt in the process, or we don't need you grieving over your loved ones. We need you close so then if our original plan doesn't succeeded- we have data. That's where you wonderful memory of yours comes in. Just imagine it... you can help save the world." when he put it like that it sounded incredible and delectable. Except every word was a almost humorous lie. It wasn't sure what to believe, it didn't have much of a say or knowledge about this man.

"You're testing my family?" it assumed 'loved ones' meant family so Janson decided to keep it that way, it may help keep control.

"Testing... Is a strong word. We're training- studying them."

Finally after what seemed likes hours it brought down its gaze to lock contact with Janson. "Whatever it takes."
