It was a few hours after noon and we were getting ready to go. A bad feeling slowly started to form in my stomach, but I ignored it and only cared about saving Minho. We had a great plan. I convinced Newt to let me go with him and Thomas, who were going into the WICKED building. Gally would go with us so he could get the serums. Brenda would be waiting at a bus so all the kids could get in there. Frypan would drag the bus out of the walls with a crane. Logan would wait for us with Brenda, which he wasn't so happy about. He wanted to go with us, but Thomas said that four people in uniforms would be suspicious.

Jorge handed me a uniform. "Be careful, Nora." He gave me a small smile and walked over to Brenda. I walked into the bathroom and started putting on the clothes. The uniform was completely black. Some pockets were on my waist, so I could put weapons in there. When I got out of the bathroom again, the others were dressed too.

Newt walked over to me and handed me a small gun. "Only to defend yourself with," Newt said before he handed me a knife.

"Only to defend myself with." I nodded, but at that point, I didn't know what else was going to happen with the knife.

Newt stared at me, hesitantly, until finally, he spoke again. "Aah, shuck it." He sighed before hugging me tightly. Though I didn't want him to get infected, if he wasn't already, I firmly hugged him back.

With my heart beating in my throat, me and Thomas walked through the city. My eyes opened wide when I saw the tall buildings, which looked pretty beautiful to me. I had never seen something like it before. Blue lights lit up the city perfectly.

Teresa walked in front of us and opened the door to the WICKED building with her thumb. We walked through some sensors and my heart rate started to go even faster. What if she didn't remove the tags well enough?

Luckily, we got through without starting an alarm. Guards with guns in their hands walked past us until one of them stopped in front of us. They moved with their head, telling us to go to the right. It was Newt.

We walked down some stairs, into a lower floor. Another 'guard' joined us. Gally.
Teresa opened a door and immediately the boys looked around, pointing their guns at anything dangerous. Once they saw no one was there, we started walking down some stairs.

'Hold on." Gally stopped in front of some devices. "I can get in here." He pulled his mask off. Thomas agreed and walked downstairs. Me, Newt, and Teresa waited for Gally.

Suddenly I felt like I was suffocating. In a rush, I pulled my mask off and let out some coughs. Teresa stared at me, almost worried, but didn't say anything. Sweat dripped down my forehead as I started to feel more anxious by the second. Newt looked at me too but also didn't say a thing.

Thomas walked up the stairs again, with a walkie in his hand. "Frypan, we're in. How are you doing?"

"Yeah, I'm getting there. Tell Minho 'hi' for me." Fry replied. He was climbing up a very tall ladder, to the crane.

Gally opened the box on the device and looked at it. "This'll work."

"Brenda, Logan, what is your status?" Thomas asked through the walkie.

"Status is, working on it,". Brenda responded.

"Copy. Just make sure you're ready on your end."

"Don't worry. You know we're gonna be there."

I never would've thought the uniforms would be so hot. I was sweating from all places, which made me slightly uncomfortable and less easier to breath.

We walked to the sublevel Teresa had told us to go. A door opened without us wanting to open and a guard appeared. Thomas didn't hesitate to shoot him. Soon we were all shooting at the guards and they were shooting at us. We managed to win. Quickly we started opening doors, searching for the kids, and mostly Minho.

When I opened the door, the kids looked at me frightened. I pulled my mask off. "Come on, let's go." I motioned for them to get out of the room.

"Guys. This might take some time." Gally stated, opening a bag in front of a big, metal vault. The one where the serums were in.

By the time every door was opened, there was no sign of Minho. Confused I looked around until my eye caught Teresa, who didn't say anything.

"Where is he?" I snapped, walking closer to her. Almost afraid Teresa looked at me.
She searched for something on a computer.

"Somebody's moved him up to the medical wing." She explained. "Thomas, that's on the other side of the building."

"Okay, take me to him. Right now." Thomas ordered, grabbing his stuff.

"I'm coming with you," I said as I started to put my mask on again.

"Nora, no, you're not. You have to stay here with Gally and wait for the serum." Newt immediately replied.

"Minho comes first, remember?" I said, lowering my voice. "Please, Newt. You promised I could come with you."

"Just go! We're wasting time. I'll get the serum, we'll meet you back." Gally said. I gave him a thankful smile before sliding the mask on my face.

"Be careful!" Gally shouted before we left.
