Chapter four

'Hey, Greenie.' 

I froze and stared with wide eyes.

No way.

I felt confused.

How? How could he be alive? 

'Gally? Thomas asked just as confused as the rest of us.

Minho killed him. He can't be alive

He killed Chuck.

I felt anger rise up my chest.

Suddenly Thomas ran over to Gally and punched him right in the face, making Gally fall down. 

'Stop! It's alright!' Gally quickly said when Thomas jumped on top of him. 

'Whoa!'Newt rushed over to Thomas. 'Stop!' He bend down and held Thomas his arm before Thomas could punch again.

'He killed Chuck.' Thomas murmured madly while looking at Gally. I felt a rush of anger going trough my body when Thomas mentioned Chuck.

'I know.' Newt, who was still holding Thoms, said. 'I remember. I was there too, all right? But I alos remember that he was stung and half out of his mind.' Newt looked at the people who were pointing their guns at them. 'Just calm down, all right?' He looked over at Thomas again.

After a while Thomas finally let go off Gally, who immediately got on his feet again. 'Kind of had that coming.' He rubbed his cheek. 'Anybody else? Fry? Newt?'

'Do you know this guy?' Jorge quietly asked me and Frypan.

'He was an old friend.' Frypan replied while still looking at Gally.

'How?' Newt stammered. 'How is this possible? We watched you die.'

'No, you left me to die.' Gally answered. 'And if we hadn't found you when we did, you'd be dead right now.' Gally paused. 'What the hell are you doing here?' He eventually asked.

'Minho.' I started. 'WICKED has him here. We're looking for a way in.'

'I can help with that. Follow me.' Gally turned around. 

'I'm not going anywhere with you.' Thomas said.

I was still mad at Gally, just like Thomas. But if he knew a way in to save Minho, I would go.

'Suit yourself.' Gally sighed. 'But I can get you trough those walls.'

'After the maze, I got picked up by a group headed to the city.' Gally explained while we walked trough the building. 'They realized I was immune, patched me up, and they brought me here to Lawrence. 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. Day's gonna come, and they're gonna pay for what they've done.' Gally stopped walking and looked at us. 'Listen, uh, he doesn't get a lot of visitors. So, let me do the talking. All right?' He said. 'And try not to stare.' Gally added.

'Rose took my nose, I suppose. Rose took my nose, I suppose. Suppose, suppose, took my nose... I suppose.' A man repeated it like mantra. 'Gally,' The man raised his voice when we walked into the room. 'Glad to see you made it back. Jasper told me what happened.'

The man talking, Lawrence, was standing near some plants. A line was attached to his hand and extended to a bag of liquid.

'It was a slaughter. There's nothing we could do against those guns.' Gally explained.

'No, but they can only poke the hornet's nest so long before they get stung.' Lawrence plucked a rose from the bush and sniffed it. 'Now, who are these people? Why are they here?' The man asked.

'We need to get into WICKED. Gally said you can get us through the walls.' Thomas took a few steps towards the man, while me and the other stood behind Gally.

'Gally should know better than to make promises that he can't keep.'

Seriously?

'Besides, that wall is only half your problem. Getting inside WICKED is impossible.' Lawrence walked over to us. 

'There might be a way now. But it doesn't work without Thomas.' Gally said.

'Is that so?' Lawrence walked into the light and I could see his face. He had no nose and looked horrible. Some weird things were on his cheek, but I couldn't make out what they were.

'Do you know what I am... Thomas?' Lawrence got even closer to Thomas. 'I am a businessman. Which means that I don't take unnecessary risks. Why should I trust you?'

''Cause I can help you. You see, if you can get me through those walls... I can get you what you need.' Thomas quietly said.

'What is it that you think I need?'

'Time.' Thomas said. 'Every last drop.'

'Is that what I need?'

'WICKED has something we both want.' Thomas looked at Lawrence.

'I'll tell you what. Two can go for now. The rest stay down here with me. Just a little insurance to make sure you find your way back. We have a deal?' Lawrence held out his hand and Thomas shook it in agreement.

The man chuckled. 'Gally, show him the way.'

'Who are gonna go?' I asked once we arrived in another room. Gally opened a well.

'Me and Newt?' Thomas looked at me for any sign of disargeement.

'Sure, I think.' I said. I sat down next to Newt who had just put his shoes on.

'Be careful, okay?' I asked worried.

'Of course.' He got up and walked over to the well. 'Bye.' He hugged me and then climbed down, into the well.

A/N: I had a mental breakdown before writing this scene, but I did it... :)

'No, there's gotta be another way.' Thomas said when the boys got back. They wanted to get inside the building with Teresa helping them.

'Like what? You've seen the building.' Gally motioned at the map on the table.

'Thomas, what's the deal?' I asked frustrated. 'It's just Teresa.'

'She is our only way in.' Gally said.

'You really think she's gonna help us?' Thomas asked.

'Maybe not voluntarily, but she will.' I simply said and Thomas gave me a glance.

'I don't plan on asking for her permission.' Gally added.

'Am I missing something here? This is the same girl who betrayed us, correct? Same dick?!' Brenda mentioned, also not understanding the problem.

'I like her.' Gally looked at Brenda.

'What's going on?' Brenda looked at Thomas.

'What, are you afraid your little girlfriend is gonna get hurt?' Newt suddenly said. Thomas didn't react and looked and Newt. 'Hmm?'

'This has obviously never been just about rescuing Minho. Has it?' Newt got up and I saw the mad expression on his face. 

'Wait, what are you talking about?' Thomas looked at Newt confused.

'Teresa.' Newt raised his voice. 'She's the only reason that Minho is even missing in the first place.' Newt started to talk faster and his face got closer to Thomas's. 'Now we finally have an oppertunity to get him back. And what? You don't want to becuase of her?' Newt walked closer to Thomas who's back was almost touching the wall.

'Because deep down inside you still care about her, don't you?' Newt asked. 'Just admit it.' He said quieter then before.

'Newt, I-'

'Don't lie to me!' Newt pushed Thomas against the wall. I was shocked at the sudden outburst. 'Don't lie to me!' Newt said, but this time slower with pauses inbetween.

It was quiet for a few seconds and the two boys looked at each other. Newt let go of Thomas and regret washed over his face. 'Sorry.' He said so quietly that I almost couldn't hear it. He turned around. 'I'm sorry.' He mumbled a little louder this time, his face full of regret.

As I stood there in shock, he walked away while holding his wrist.
