Thomas woke up with the feeling of nausea. He realized he had been swaying for a really long time. When the rocking chair came to a stop he felt it jerk upward and suddenly he was rising, he heard the sounds of old wood grinding against old wood. Its all comes to a stop he's blinded by the hot sun. The sounds of gulping and swallowing filled the air "Thomas?!" Said a voice that he immediately recongnized as his one of his very few close friends. Minho. "We're saved!" All the boys who made it out of the previous situation chanted "Thomas will for sure save us just like he did last time." A boy said. "Thomas come with me" Minho guided him to the corner of what seems to be a porch. "What is this? What are we doing here?" Thomas asked. "Three weeks. Three weeks we have been stuck on this porch. We were wondering where you were Thomas. We knew you didn't die so we had no choice to assume you went back to working for MESSEDUP." Minho told him.
"I can't believe you guys think I would go back and work for them after what they did to us. Stuck? Why don't you just go out the pathway?" Thomas asked stepping toward the pathway of the porch. He almost walked of but he stopped himself knowing that if they could have did that they would have.
"Tell me more" He instructed." Ok so each day at 10:00 they send up a rocking chair full of water bottles for each of us." Minho started to tell him. "You have to drink it before 11:00 because the automatic lid closes. If you try to drink out of someone else's bottle the lid cuts off your lips...That happened to jack."
Thomas looked around and he didn't see jack. "So did he bleed out of his lips until he died? He asked. "No he died from the force field" Minho informed him. "Like you slinthead, he assumed he could just walk off with no consecuinses. If you try to walk off the force field turns blue and reveals itself. It"ll wrap around you like a burrito until it suffercates you to death."
"So, MESSEDUP is still testing us, they want us to find a way out"
