CHAPTER SEVEN

The group follows Brenda up the stairs to the loft area where Jorge was at. Lizzie raised her eyebrows when a song was suddenly playing over the speakers.

"We don't have much time. Let's go, let's go, let's go!" Jorge exclaimed, running around a corner, and opened some double doors that led to outside.

There was a ruined building across from them that Lizzie was surprised was still standing. Her eyes widened at seeing how high up they were.

"You gotta be kidding me..." Frypan muttered as he stared at the view in front of them with wide eyes.

"Plan B, hermano." Jorge said to him as he looked at the group. "You kids want to get to the Right Arm? I'll lead you to them. But you're gonna owe me."

He grabs some rope tied to the zipline. "Follow me!" He then jumped off and used the zipline to escape to the other building.

"Alright," Brenda grabs another rope that was tied to it. "let's go."

Minho was the first to go after Jorge, and the others were quick to follow. Lizzie stumbled whenever she suddenly felt floor beneath her feat, and let go of the rope. Luckily Minho grabbed ahold of her arms so he wouldn't fall.

"You okay, Liz?" He questioned.

She nods. "A little fazed, but yeah. I I'm fine."

"Alright, let's go." Jorge told them, turning to leave.

"Wait, where's Thomas and Brenda?" Lizzie asked after realizing they weren't with them. She looked back at the other building with worry.

"Brenda went to go get something, and Thomas went to get her." Teresa replied as she looked at the building with a nervous look.

The group decided on waiting a few minutes for Brenda and Thomas, but after four minutes of waiting they knew they would have to leave without them if they didn't want WICKED to find them.

Even though Jorge didn't look like he was worried about leaving Brenda behind, Lizzie could tell that he was by the shaky tone of his voice. "Brenda knows where we're going. We're gonna have to meet them there."

With a raised brow, Minho looked over at him after sharing a look with Lizzie. "Meet them where exactly?"

****

Jorge led them to a city that he knew was still standing, and to a house owned by a guy named Marcus that he knew how to get to the Right Arm.

"Stay together, and try to blend in with everyone." Jorge said as he looked back at the group.

Lizzie put her hands in the pockets of her jacket, looking around at the city noticing there were ruined cars scattered around, some of the buildings were somewhat ruined, a lot of tents were up on sidewalks, and there were even trash and debris around some places. She was surprised with how many people were out.

"Okay, we're here."

She looked forward to see a large building that reminded her of a mansion. She could hear music being played inside of the building, there were people in front of the building chatting with each other and she noticed people dancing inside.

Newt looked at the building with a raised brow. "So, this Marcus guy lives here?"

"Yep." Jorge answered, and started walking towards the back of the building. With a wave of his hand, he gestured the group to follow him. "Follow me. I know a easier way in."

After finding Marcus they were now in one of the rooms in the mansion with Jorge trying to get Marcus to tell them how to get to the Right Arm. The group also found out that Thomas and Brenda were at the mansion. Once they found where they were at they brought them up to the room they were currently staying in.

"Hey, Thomas is waking up." Lizzie noticed, looking over to her right at where Thomas laid on the ground besides Teresa who was sitting next to him.

"That's good." Minho smiled, getting up to walk over to where Thomas was at. Thomas looked at him when he realized Minho was standing near him. "Welcome back, you ugly Shank."

Thomas let out a small laugh as he got up. Lizzie sat at the other end of the couch Brenda was sitting on as she watched Jorge slap Marcus who was tied up on a chair.

"Listen, I don't enjoy hurting you, okay? Where is the Right Arm, Marcus?" While Jorge questioned Marcus, Minho walked over to sit besides his girlfriend. Lizzie smiled at him and he smiled back at her.

Thomas' eyes widened as he pointed at Marcus looking rather upset and angry. "Wait, this is Marcus?"

Marcus chuckles. "The kid catches on quick. Are you the brains of the operations?"

Jorge then grabbed his hair, pulling his head backwards stopping his laughter. "I know you know where they're hiding. So you tell me, and I'll make you a deal." He lets go of Marcus' hair as he steps back. "You can come with us."

Marcus then let out a laugh that sounded evil in Lizzie's opinion. "I burned that bridge long time ago. Besides, I make my own deal."

"You're the one who taught me never miss an opportunity." He then laughed evilly again.

"What's he's talking about?" Newt asked with crossed arms.

"I'm talking about supply and demand." Marcus replied. He then explains how WICKED wants all immunes they can get, how he helps get the immunes for them by luring the kids in with a party.

"I changed my mind, hermano." Jorge shook his head. "I do enjoy hurting you." He kicked Marcus, making the chair fall backwards. Lizzie's eyes widened, her heart beat increasing when he grabbed a gun from his pocket, going to bend down next to Marcus with the gun aimed at his head demanding him to talk.

"These guys like to move around." Marcus finally gave in to telling them while Frypan helped Jorge pull Marcus back up. He breathed heavily as he explained. "They have an outpost in the mountains. But it's a long way away. You got half of WICKED looking for you guys. You're never gonna make it."

Jorge just smirks. "Not on foot." He leans forward, putting a hand on Marcus' shoulder. "Where's Bertha?"

Marcus' good eye started watering as he frowned as Jorge. "N-not Bertha."

Lizzie and the others had no idea what Bertha was, but oh boy were they beyond happy to find out that it was a car. They were tired of walking and running and being in the car was like a breath of fresh air.

Lizzie sat in the back between Minho and Frypan while Newt sat in the passengers seat and the others were in the very back of the car. Somewhere along the car ride, a smile tugged on Minho's lips when he felt Lizzie's head rest on his shoulder.

When the car stopped on the road in the mountains, Minho gently shook Lizzie awake seeing that she fell asleep. He didn't blame her because the last few days have been tough.

"Liz, wake up."

Her eyes slowly opened, realizing that everyone besides them had gotten out of the car by then. She sat up, blinking a few times to try and wake herself up more. Minho got out of the car, closing the door after she got out.

They walked over to where the others were standing, looking at the narrow road that was scattered with broken down cars.

"Well," Jorge said. "I guess we're on foot."

As the group walked down the road, Lizzie noticed on some of the cars that there were bullet holes in the windshield. "Get down!" Thomas yelled whenever a bullet hit the car he was nearby as more gunshots went off.

Lizzie quickly hid behind a car she was closest to. She looked over as Minho and Newt hid besides her.

The sound of the gunshots echoed off the mountains as Thomas asked the group, "Is everyone okay?"

"We're fine." Teresa replied.

"Anyone know where those bloody shots came from?" Newt questioned, wanting to know who shot at them and why. "You're guess is as good as mine." Lizzie muttered as she looked around at the mountains.

Everyone stayed quiet the next few minutes until Jorge spoke. "Everyone, get set to sprint to the back to the truck! And hold your ears!"

Lizzie bit her lower lip as she looked at Minho and Newt. "That doesn't sound good..." She said and the boys nodded in agreement.

Lizzie looked forward, furrowing her eyebrows with confusion when she suddenly sees two girls with guns aimed at who she assumed was Thomas and Jorge. The dark headed girl demanded them to drop the grenade they had and told them to stand up.

Lizzie raised her hands up in defense, slowly standing up along with the others as the two girls backed Thomas and Jorge up to where she and the others were hiding. She was sure she wasn't the only one confused at why the dark headed girl asked, "Aris?"

Aris' eyes widened as the dark headed girl pulled her mask down. "Harriet." He stepped forward and the two of them hugged. Lizzie shared a confused look with Minho, wanting to know how Aris knew this girl.

The strawberry blonde haired girl pulled her mask down with disbelief written on her face. "Sonya." Aris smiled, looking over at her after he and Harriet pulled away from the hug. Sonya grinned and hugged him.

Everyone had lowered their hands by now, but Newt's eyes widened as look of shock and relief formed on his face.

"Sonya?" He questioned, and he sounded like he didn't believe that she was actually there. 

Lizzie, along with some of the others, looked at him with confusion. When Sonya pulled away from Aris, her gaze landed on Newt.

She let out a gasp while her eyes started to get teary. "Newt."

The two rushed forward to each other, pulling each other in a tight embrace. "Anyone else confused at what's happening?" Lizzie asked and the others nodded in agreement.

Newt turns to the group with a smile on his face after he hugged Sonya. "Guys, this is my sister, Sonya."

"Oh, that makes sense." Lizzie muttered, but had a smile on her face, happy that they were able to find each other.

"Yeah, also Aris, it would be nice if you would catch us up on how you know these two." Minho spoke up.

"We were in the maze together." Aris told them.

Harriet then whistled and yelled for some people to come out of hiding. Lizzie looked up at the top of the mountains, noticing people basically had them surrounded. Harriet and Sonya then led them through the tunnel to where trucks and other people were at.

"Wait, so, how did you guys get here?" Aris asked them, walking behind Harriet and Sonya.

"The Right Arm got us out." Harriet responded, leading them over to a truck. Thomas walked up to her. "The Right Arm? Do you know where they are?"

Harriet just smiled as she opened the door. "Hop in."
