Endless (3-3)

False hope

Heads up full of sadness this chapter😅 I warned you

Summer...

"After the maze, I got picked up by a group headed to the city," Gally explained as he led us through the building. Down the ramp to somewhere. "They realized I was immune, patched me up, and they brought me here to Lawrence." 

"Guys must be quite good with med stuff if they managed to heal that hole the spear left in you," I commented remembering the time I handed Minho that spear to hit Gally with it. 

"Yeah, they are," Gally answered. "This group's been at war with WICKED ever since they took control of the city. But WICKED can't hide behind those walls forever." I noticed the stares people around were giving us. Not everyone trusting right away the new arrivals. I don't blame them. Day's gonna come, and they're gonna pay for what they've done." 

We stopped somewhere downstairs. I think that this Lawrence should be here somewhere. But the uneasy look on Gally's face tells me that he is debating over something. 

"Listen, uh, he doesn't get a lot of visitors. So, let me do the talking." I think that was mainly aimed at Thomas. Tho, I am sure he will not listen to Gally's advice. "All right? And try not to stare." With that Gally led the way inside the room. 

He took off the weapon he had slouched around his shoulder and put it away. The weird mutters coming from the further part of the room sounded quite creepy. 

"Rose took my nose, I suppose." Mhm, great. Yeah, surely not crazy. There, by the table, a man, who I guess is Lawrence, was tending to his flowers. He has roses here. Aw, I love roses. It's my favorite flower. "Rose took my nose, I suppose." The sun shines through the window that is right behind the man, so it is practically impossible to make out his features. "Suppose, suppose, took my nose... I suppose." The only thing I can see clearly is the IV drip that is attached to his arm. "Gally, glad to see you made it back. Jasper told me what happened." The man spoke. Still being preoccupied with his beautiful flowers. 

"It was a slaughter," Gally answered kind of sadly. "There's nothing we could do against those guns." Now I wonder what exactly were they doing there?  

"No, but they can only poke the hornet's nest so long before they get stung." The man answered bringing the rose up to his...nose? Now that I think about it does he have one? Cause the reflection of him isn't giving that away. "Now, who are these people? Why are they here?" 

I could already see Thomas' mouth itching to say something. He is gonna blow all of this. 

"Um, let me just tell you...I adore those roses. Seriously, beautiful." The man looked at me, a slight chuckle escaping his lips. 

"I like her." He commented, pointing at me. Yes, achievement. 

"Everyone does..." Gally said but got cut off by Thomas who walked forward. 

"We need to get into WICKED. Gally said you can get us through the walls." Oh, great. Wait, why am I getting so angry? A terrible cramp attacks my left hand. Closing my eyes I gasped slightly for air. Catching Newt's attention as well as Brenda's. Both of them looking alarmed by my sudden jolt. I gave them a forced smile to somehow assure them that I am okay. 

"Gally should know better than to make promises that he can't keep." The man answers, glaring at Gally who shuffles uncomfortably in his spot. "Besides, that wall is only half your problem. Getting inside WICKED is impossible." 

"There might be a way now." Gally started, not really sure if he should speak but he did nevertheless. "But it doesn't work without Thomas." Lawrence now intrigued, walked closer to us.
