Thomas and Newt ran out of the room and they started to run through the long corridors. Newt was struggling but he pushed on, Thomas was holding his hand so he was given the strength to run.

They stopped at a corner and they both hunched over to catch their breath. Newt looked at Thomas and he held his hand out.

"Hide this, don't let him find it" Newt instructed.

Thomas looked up and he saw the small vial in Newt's hand. "When did you manage to grab that?" He took the small vial and he put it into the small jacket pocket that was on his upper arm.

"I grabbed it when you were fighting with Janson." Newt answered.

"I know that you were tortured yesterday" Thomas stated.

"Can we just forget that it happened please?" Newt asked.

"I will always be with you, I'll keep you safe" Thomas promised.

Newt smiled and he nodded "And I will do the same for you".

A bullet hit the wall next to Thomas's head and he saw Janson "Thomas, you can't run from me! You can't protect Newt!"

Thomas and Newt sprinted off down the corridors until they reached a large sealed door. Thomas tried to open the door and Newt kept a look out.

"Tommy, hurry!" Newt tried to encourage.

Thomas managed to break the door open and he looked at Newt "Come on!"

Newt saw Janson walk around the corner and aim the gun at Thomas. "Thomas!" He moved in front of Thomas and he pushed him into the room.

Thomas heard the sound of a gun shot and he hide behind a cabinet with Newt at his side "We need to get out of here."

Newt lifted his hand and he looked down at his stomach "Tommy".

Thomas looked at Newt and he saw the blood "Newt?"

Newt rolled up his shirt and he saw that he had been shot "Shit".

Thomas hurried to grab a towel and he pressed it to Newt's wound "Hold this on it".

Newt held the towel on his injury but he hissed in pain. "I'll be fine, find some first aid things and get us out of here".

Thomas nodded and he stroked Newt's hair. He then ran off to find some first aid supplies but he heard Janson yell and he hid behind one of the laboratory's counters. He looked through a small gap between the counters and he saw that Newt had done the same thing.

Janson walked into the lab and he scoffed when he saw the two cranks that were being held in the large glass tank. "It doesn't matter who's blood I take because both of you have the cure flowing through your veins. I could take one of you and kill the other!"

Thomas moved to where he could see Newt and Newt could see him. Thomas was now hiding at the end of one of the rows of counters and Newt was hiding at the other end. Newt nodded and he motioned for Thomas to stay quiet and to keep going. Thomas nodded and he moved to hide behind the next row of counters.

"Thomas, do you want to know what happened to Newt? He was beaten, tortured and held down as he was nearly drained of all of his blood. All of that happened whilst you were lying asleep in the same room as him. Maybe I could just take Newt and use him to cure the flare, I'm sure that I would be able to find get some more blood out of him!" Janson taunted as he searched for the two boys in the lab, it was slightly dark but the flames from the riot outside lit the room up with an eerie light.

Thomas let out a furious shout as he threw a knife at Janson and he ran at the man. They wrestled for a few moments before Janson threw Thomas off and he hit his head on the side of one of the metal counters. Thomas fell to the floor, unconscious.

"Tommy!" Newt screamed when Thomas fell to the floor unconscious. He then realised that he had just revealed himself and he quickly tried to stand up.

Janson tackled Newt and he pinned him down as he punched the boy over and over again.

Newt grunted in pain and he tried to punch back. But he was not as strong as Janson was. He tried to kick back and he used his hands to protect his face as punches continued to rain down on him. "Thomas! Thomas, help!"

Thomas came to but his vision was blurry "Newt?"

Newt thrashed around as be tried to escape from Janson "Get off of me!" He kicked and tried to punch as he was held down. "Thomas!"

Thomas heard that Newt was screaming and his vision cleared. His blood began to boil when he saw that Janson was pinning Newt down and that he was punching him "Newt! Get the hell off of him!" He jumped to his feet and he ran at Janson, he pushed him off of Newt and then he quickly helped the blond up. "Are you okay?"

"Yeah" Newt nodded and he leaned against Thomas; so that he could stand up and take pressure off of his bad leg "Are you okay?"

"Yeah," Thomas said as he wrapped his arms around Newt's waist to hold him. He heard the blond hiss in pain and he kissed his head to comfort him "Stay close to me, I'll protect you and I will get you out of here".

Newt nodded "I trust you".

Janson stood up and he saw that Thomas was holding Newt, he saw the bruises on Newt's face and he smirked at his accomplishment.

"Enjoy each other's company whilst you can, I think that I've decided which one of you I'm going to keep alive" Janson then aimed his gun at Thomas and he sighed before he spoke, "Hand him over, Thomas" he ordered.

Thomas's grip around Newt tightened and he kissed his head "No way in hell! Stay away from him!" he yelled.

Newt moved one hand and he slowly pulled the gun off of the counter behind him. He had started to put a plan together in his head and he looked at the glass tank that the two lab rat Cranks were stalking around in.

"Why do you want to protect him so much?" Janson asked, intrigued.

"Because I love him!" Thomas shouted.

Newt looked at Thomas "Do you mean that?" he asked, his deep brown eyes were full of hope and trust.

"Yes, I love you, Newt" Thomas answered.

"I love you too" Newt smiled. He then moved to whisper in Thomas's ear "Get behind me".

Thomas moved to stand behind Newt and he looked up at where Janson was stood.

"Newt, you can save Thomas by giving yourself up and coming with me. Thomas can go free and you will be saving other people by generously donating your blood to myself and WCKD" Janson held his hand out as he spoke.

Newt slowly exhaled before he placed his finger on the trigger "No shucking way" he quickly moved his arm and he shot at Janson's leg "Thomas, run!"

"Ahh!" Janson cried out in pain as he fell onto the floor.

Thomas ran away from Janson and he looked to his side, he saw that Newt was running along beside him but the blond suddenly screamed in pain and he fell. His limp was starting to affect him again. "Newt!" He knelt down next to Newt and he picked him up.

Newt hissed in pain and he gripped Thomas's upper arms for support, he pushed his pain to one side and he looked into Thomas's eyes.

"Get ready to run" Newt instructed.

"Thomas doesn't deserve you or his blood, Newt. You won't survive the night with that gunshot wound!" Janson scoffed as he stood up, he leaned against a lab table and he pointed at the two boys.

"Maybe not but he's got me anyway, and his blood belongs to him!" Newt then shot at the glass tank that was behind Janson.

Janson was startled at first but he saw the crack in the glass "You missed".

"No, I didn't" Newt smirked with achievement.

A few seconds went by before the two cranks ran at the glass wall and it shattered on impact. They grabbed Janson and the pulled him down onto the floor, they started to feast on the evil man whilst he screamed and thrashed around.

Thomas and Newt scrambled to their feet and they made their escape, whilst as the cranks feasted on their not so much of a happymeal.
