Gus was sitting in the living room with his silver Mac computer in his lap, he was typing furiously to try and find any information they could use against WICKED and also he wanted to see if he could find anything out about Newts friends who seemed to have joined The Right Arm. He heard a low creak from the sofa as Newt sat down beside him. The blonde teen was new awake and his hair was standing in all directions. He had put on a brown sweater and a pair of gray sweet pants.
"What are you doing shank?"
Gus chuckled as Newt yawned and rubbed his tired eyes.
"I'm looking up information about WICKED and The Right Arm's recent activities"
Newt frowned and leaned closer so he too could see what Gus had found. It wasn't much as people didn't use Internet as much after the sun flare. What he had found was the main site of the Right Arm were they were searching for immunes to come and fight with them. Neither Gus or Newt wanted to join them as Gus didn't trust them and Newt just wanted to stay out of all of it. Finally, Gus closed the laptop and got up from the sofa and headed towards the fridge to get something to eat. He located two apples and threw one to Newt who easily catches it with only one hand. Gus smirked at him as he took a big bite of his own apple.
"So, are we just going to live here for the rest of our lives or are we going to find the paradise?"
Newt didn't say anything as he seemed to be lost in thoughts and Gus decided not to push the issue and just went to the bathroom to take a shower before they would head out into the city. He showered quickly and then put on a pair of black pants and a red and black shimmy. He fixed his middle length fluffy hair so it looked kind of fixed and then headed out to were Newt was now standing at the door. They shared a smile and then headed out to try and get some information about the situation in the country.
=Time break=
Sometimes it was a good thing that Gus wasn't much more then a observer as he had managed to get many good contacts in the Crank world and even as immune, the cranks would make deals and help him out. Gus didn't really trust any cranks as he knew how unpredictable they could be and he had been the same just a while ago so he knew how their brains worked. He searched the city for one perticable Crank with silver hair tied up in a ugly ponytail and a ugly shaved beard on his ugly wrinkled face, probably the ugliest old Crank Gus knew. When he finally found the old man, he was standing staring at a house wall.
"Roger my friend! I see that the flare has taken a real tool on ya!"
The Crank named Roger snapped out of his daze and turned his stare towards the approaching Gus and Newt. Gus knew that the old Crank wouldn't attack them without warning but just in case he had told Newt to stay behind him. Newt hadn't even complained and had happily slowed down so he was walking behind.
"What are you doing here boy, thought you had a managed to get cured from the flare?"
Gus smirked and stopped a few extra feet away from the old Crank just to be sure that he would be able to dodge if the old man suddenly attacked. The old man didn't get offended by it and just waited for Gus to speak.
"I am cured but I came to get some information about the recent state we're in"
The old Crank chuckled and Gus knew that he had some information that he wanted to share without any deals which was a great relief as Gus didn't have anything to trade right now. It was simple to read the old crank as he would pat his palm if he wanted something in return of the information and this time he didn't.
"It seems like WICKED has hidden the immunes in some maze"
Gus scratched his arm to get it to stop tickling as he took in the information and glanced back to see Newt frowning as he had put his hand under his jaw as if he was thinking hard.
"Where is this maze located?"
The Crank frowned as he struggled to remember and when he did, the old man snapped his fingers in the air which drew the attention from both Gus and Newt.
"Deep into the bedrock, somewhere under the main building of WICKED's headquarter"
Gus slumped down to the ground, seriously how the hell would he be able to find that place!? Newt on the other hand seemed shocked as if realising something big. Gus raised a eyebrow at his friend and Newt saw it and a sad smile formed on the blondes lips.
"I lived in that bloody maze before we escaped and I was brought to the Crank Palace"
Gus nodded in understanding, he wasn't much of a big fan of places with many turns and that kind of stuff either, not that he thought that was the reason to why Newt didn't like the place.
"You know the kids that came to the Palace the day we broke out? They seems to be working with the Right Arm and what I have heard is that they will head to destroy WICKED and they will probably kill the immunes with the scientists if they doesn't realize anytime soon that the immunes are trapped in the maze"
Both Gus and Newt looked at the old Crank with stunned eyes. Gus knew that the old man was good when it came to information but this was overly good job of him and he sure deserved some candy for it!
"I sure will get you some chocolate until the next time I see you old man!"
Gus grinned and then turned to Newt the blonde seemed to be between somewhere between sad and happy over the infromation. Gus chuckled and patted his older friends shoulder.
"Maybe we should go and see them? They will be really happy when they hear that you're immune and that Tommy guy will probably cry of happiness when he realize that he hasn't kille his bff and then, we don't want them to kill a whole load of people and then have that on their shoulder!"
Newt glared at him for using a silly word like bff and Gus also knew that the blonde had a hard time knowing exactly how he felt about his friends or former friends. He also knew that Newt had managed to blurt out pretty heavy and mean stuff to his friends and the blonde was probably scared that his friends would hate him for it.
"They knew that it was the flare speaking, they won't hate ya you know just tell them the truth of how you feel know when your brain ain't filled with the flare"
Newt finally smiled and that made Gus smile and he turned back to the old Crank who seemed to have returned to staring at the wall. Gus chuckled and put his hands on his hips with a determined smirk.
"Well, we won't get any more information out of him today so let's go and find that bloody maze of yours!"
