Love you all

It had been hours since Thomas and Minho had left the Glade to find clues about the cylinder in the Maze. They were both panting heavily and starting to lose hope the weird thing could ever help them find a way out. The only unusual thing was that the door to the 7th section was open. Normally it would close and another section would open. It had do have something to do with that thing, it had to. The Grievers probably triggered the opening and closing of the doors to each section. Now they had to figure out where these monsters went during daytime.

The boys stopped at yet another intersection. Thomas bent over and stood there, catching his breath. Minho leaned against one of the ivy covered walls and wiped the sweat off his forehead. Time was running and if they didn't find something soon, they would have to go before the doors closed and locked them up outside, again. Suddenly, they heard a suppressed beeping. Feeling a sudden surge of adrenaline, Thomas searched where the sound was coming from. It came from Minho's backpack. The cylinder! It was beeping alternately stopping when Thomas pointed it in Minho's direction and beeping louder when he pointed it towards the corridor ahead of them. They immediately began following the cylinder's beeping, as if it was showing them the way. They were so excited they only noticed the door opening in front of them when they were right in front of it. Carefully, they entered the newly appeared corridor.

Subject: Briefing on the escape of subject A26

Janson,

I'm very displeased to see you're failing to keep the subjects under control. The escape of subject A26 into the Maze is a total fiasco. We can consider ourselves happy she already had the control unit inserted. The scientists have been able to remove her memories, so normally this shouldn't have an impact on the other subjects. If we're lucky, we can even use her as a new Variable. Anyhow, another mistake like this and you know what will happen. I can't allow my people to make errors, especially not you. I won't be as indulgent next time.

The girl stared intently at Newt. Not knowing what to do, he stared back. She blinked and whispered something so softly Newt had difficulties hearing it:

"… good… Wi… ood…" she whispered on and on.

Trying to understand what she was saying, Newt came closer to the bed. All the while, the girl was speaking louder and louder, until she was almost screaming. Newt could hear what she was saying now, but he didn't understand any of it.

"Wicked is good. Wicked is good! WICKED IS GOOD!" she shouted as she sat up and tried to get out of the bed.

Newt grabbed her by the shoulders and pushed her back in the bed. He caught a glimpse of her eyes and shivered: they were bloodshot and full of wildness, as if she wasn't there, as if she was controlled by someone else. He felt her trying to free herself, but he was too strong compared to her. She struggled for a few minutes and then relaxed. She had closed her eyes and looked like she was asleep again. Carefully letting go, but prepared to react if she moved, Newt backed away. She looked peaceful again, as if none of this had happened. Completely taken aback by her mental breakdown, he told Jeff to look after her and to warn him when she'd wake up again.

A bit shocked, Newt went to search for Alby. Even if he didn't really want to, he had to share this case with him. He just hoped it wouldn't have any repercussions on the way he would treat the girl. It was already weird enough she had been found in the Maze and… that she was a girl. She would already have a lot of problems to deal with. Sighing, he noticed Alby in the distance, talking to Winston and Gally. As he came closer, a frown appeared on his face.

"I really don't trust that girl. I mean, we found her in the Maze! It's not as if this is something normal in here, is it?" Gally muttered.

"Nothing here is normal, slinthead. We're a bunch of teenagers in a shuckin' Maze! Did you expect everything to stay the same forever?" Alby observed, clearly being annoyed by Gally's speculations.

"I don't like the idea of anything changing… It feels like something bad is going to happen. Especially since Thomas killed a Griever and stuff. Maybe it's the Creators that are punishing us?" Winston wondered as he looked around him for a clue.

"Slim it, Winston. You're telling klunk. Just get back to work, you two, will ya?" Newt replied as he arrived.

Winston rolled his eyes and stepped away to the Bloodhouse. Gally followed him, clearly irritated. Newt turned to Alby:

"Something happened with the girl. I went to her room to see if she was okay and she woke up, but it looked like she wasn't really there. It was weird, I had the feeling she was being controlled or something. And then she started saying these words over and over: 'Wicked is good'". He could feel Alby tensing as he spoke, "She tried coming out of bed, but I managed to hold her down and she just fell back asleep, as if nothing happened".

Alby rubbed his temples and sighed: "I don't know what we should do about it. We can't just throw her in the Maze because she freaked out". Newt nodded and patted him on the back.

"Look, why don't we just forget this little event. It's not as if you don't already have a lot on your mind. We'll talk about this when she wakes up for real", he reassured him.

"Yeah, I guess. There's just a lot to deal with at this moment; Minho and Thomas killing the Griever and finding that cylinder, a girl appearing in the Maze… The Glade is turning into a madhouse", Alby sighed.

He looked a bit defeated by all the commotion. Newt promised himself to help his friend more. Alby shrugged as if it didn't matter and waved at his friend before taking off to the Homestead. It was true agitation was starting to rise in the Glade and everyone was beginning to feel that something was about to change. The more happened, the more the tension would rise, and it would soon be impossible to handle all these hysterical teenagers. He caught himself biting his lip again and it annoyed him.
