Minho finds out what happened in Denver. Basically. Nothing more to say about this chapter except... enjoy... I guess?

"I still don't trust Gally," declared Newt after Thomas and Minho had told him everything that had happened since their ways had parted.

"Me neither," agreed Minho. "But Thomas..."

Newt stared at his other friend in disbelief. "You can't be serious."

"I'm not saying I trust him," corrected Thomas calmly. "It's just... This is the first time we actually meet a resistance against WICKED."

"Besides us," added Minho.

"Yeah. Brenda says Gally's story is solid. The Right Arm is the real deal. And I trust Brenda."

Minho coughed. It sounded a lot like Teresa. Newt sniggered. The good mood was infectious. Even Thomas had to smile faintly.

"Shuck it, I don't care about any of this anymore," Minho told them then. "WICKED, the right arm, all of it. I'm just glad we're together again."

"Yeah, it was close." The words left Thomas mouth before he could stop himself.

Newt stared at him in panic, then quickly sobered up before Minho could catch on but it was too late. For a moment he just looked dumbfounded from one boy to the other before his expression changed to a distorted mix of horror, hurt and anger.

"You've gotta be shucking kidding me!" he roared. In the blink of an eye Minho was on his feet.

"Whoa Minho!"

Newt yelped and leapt back, walking straight into the wall behind him. Minho followed, only inches from him. His placed his hands on either side of him on the wall. He was shaking with anger.

"I'm sorry," Newt whispered guilt-stricken. Tears were pooling in his eyes.

Thomas took a tentative step toward them. "Minho, wait a minute –" The Asian was so angry. Thomas barely recognized him.

"Slim it, Thomas! You weren't there back then! You didn't...!" Minho's voice trailed off.

That hurt. Thomas face fell. He hated to be left out. But he also understood his friend. The way he reacted to this piece of information Thomas knew that Minho had suffered a great trauma from Newt's first suicide attempt and had yet to recover from it.

Minho turned back to the blond. "You promised! You shucking promised!"

I'm so sorry for the cliffhanger! This story is really difficult for me to write. But I'll try to hurry!
The next chapter will be a flashback to Newt's first suicide attempt and how everyone reacted to it. You will then also know what Newt promised to Minho ;)
