It had been a little over an hour when they finally came back but everyone agreed that it would be best to talk the next day when their heads were clear. They noticed Thomas seemed a bit different, and they could see it wasn't related to the Gally drama anymore. It took Mel a moment to put the pieces together and remember their conversation the other day about someone Thomas knew and cared for. Someone he saw in the city.

Teresa.

The sleeping arrangements weren't the best. Newt of course went with Mel in her room, followed by Brenda who was happy to have another girl join them. While Frypan and Jorge were in Gally's. Thomas had stayed outside of the rooms not tired, his mind going over all the events of the day and trying to think of their best options.

Gally had finally confirmed it was Teresa in the morning when they got up and regrouped. They walked side by side up the stairs into the room she had taken the others last night.

"No, there's gotta be another way." Thomas said as everyone was now gathered around to discuss their options.

"Like what? You've seen the building, she is our only way in." Gally defended looking down at a map they made of the city and all the different areas he and some of the others had scouted in the past week.

"Do you think she'll help us?" Mel chimed in, she didn't know the girl well besides the few need to know details she had been given.

"Am I missing something?" Brenda spoke up trying to wrap her head around the idea. "This is the same girl who betrayed us right? Same dick?"

Gally hid a smirk as he pointed to Brenda, "I like her."

After hearing what had happened with the Right Arm and how Teresa was the one who radioed WCKD and got them attacked, he felt a pang of guilt and wanted to apologize to them. But he kept it quiet knowing that none of them would care for his sympathy or even want it. He still had alot to make up for himself and was willing to do it by helping them get in and find their way to Minho.

"Afraid your little girlfriends gonna get hurt? Hm?" Newt piped up after a moment of silence, everyone turning to him. Mel frowned at his tone.

"It's obviously never been about just rescuing Minho, right? Teresa is the reason he's missing in the first place. Now we have an opportunity to get him back, and what, you don't want to because of her?" He had backed Thomas up against the wall, voice getting louder. All eyes watching with worry. "Because deep down inside you still care about her, just admit it."

Thomas had opened his mouth to defend himself taking a step forward but Newt lashed out and shoved him against the wall. "Don't lie to me! Don't lie!"

Mel was quick to move and she placed a gentle hand on his shoulder making his head turn to her quickly. Seeing the worried expression on her face, as well as everyone else's upset looks he immediately calmed down and took a step back, realizing what he did.

"I-I'm sorry." He said, his voice a bit raspy after shouting.

He repeated it again and Mel started guiding him outside to get some air. "It's ok, come on let's take a break." She said gently as she walked beside him, giving her own apologetic look to everyone as they left.

As soon as the breeze hit his face Newt let out a breath he didn't realize he was holding and walked across the concrete roof, finding a spot on the ledge and sitting down. Mel sat next to him but stayed quiet, knowing he would want the moment to just let his mind relax and reflect on what just happened.

"Didn't mean to scare you back there." He said softly, all evidence of anger he once had gone.

Mel just shook her head and kept her hand over his rubbing soft circles with her thumb. "You didn't scare me. Do you feel better now?"

He only nodded, staring out at the horizon and watching the sun slowly go down. She knew it was best not to ask any further questions so she let the quiet moment continue until she heard footsteps behind them and glanced back to see Thomas. Looking to Newt he nodded agreeing that they needed to talk. She reminded him she would be inside, then got up and moved past Thomas, giving his arm a friendly squeeze on the way. She gave one last look to the two before walking the last few steps back into the room.

Thomas moved forward, Newt glancing back at him.

"Sorry about that, back there." He said before looking down at his arm and slowly pushing up his sleeve, "Guess I can't hide this any longer."

Thomas looked at the dark veins on his friend and felt speechless for a moment as he moved down to squat beside him, "Why didn't you tell me?"

"Didn't think it would make any difference." He paused, "All I know is WCKD must've put me in the maze for a reason."

It took Thomas a moment to get his words thought out but all that came out was, "We can fix this. We can." He thought of Lawrence and his serum he carried with him, they could do the same for Newt.

Newt could only give a slight grin, not wanting to argue about whether he was worth fixing or not. He thought back to the Glade, how peaceful it was at times. When the sun would set just right, like how it was at this moment in front of them. All the colors appearing in the sky mixing together. The Glade was a place of equal good and bad, he felt. With a burst of encouragement he decided to tell Thomas a story. His story.

"Did I ever tell you about when I broke my leg?" He asked simply, looking to his friend to see him shake his head innocently. He knew the truth of it would be harsh but he felt he needed to hear it. To be able to tell at least one person, the person who he trusted with his life.

"Back in the maze. I'd just come up in the box, didn't know where or who I was. All of my memories gone and I could still feel, something was missing." His mind drifted to Mel, his insides gave a quick flutter thinking of having his sister back and knowing who she is.

"I felt empty, and I just couldn't have that. Couldn't take it. So one morning I got up early, and I snuck out into the maze. I went and found the tallest wall I could, climbed up there and..I jumped off it." He paused, memories flashing back to that moment as he recalled all those feelings he had in that moment. How he just needed something, anything. But it never came, instead all he got was pain.

Thomas felt his heart break for his friend as he listened. Since the first second he met Newt he thought of his friend as strong. Someone that wouldn't let small things stop them from fighting and keep themselves going. He wanted to say something, anything.

Newt continued, his upbeat self returning for just a moment, "Of course I got myself tangled up in all the Ivy, snapped my leg in three different places like a proper shank. Landed hard on the floor. I thought that was it..Then Minho found me. He picked me up and took me back to the Glade."

He looked to Thomas. "We never told anyone the truth about what happened. He saved me and gave me a second chance."

His tone became determined now as he grew serious, "And now he needs us. If there is even the slightest chance that we can save him and get him out of there, then we need to take that."

Thomas nodded, agreeing with Newt that he heard and understood him. Newt took one last look at the sun before he was ready to get up, Thomas offering a hand to help him. Newt stopped him before he could begin to walk back.

"I need a favor Tommy."

Thomas watched him and nodded, "Yea of course."

"I. I don't want Mel to know. About this-" He held up his arm momentarily as reference. "Talking with Gally on our way back from the city last night, he told me how determined she was to find me before. How she never gave up hope on me. And being here now with her, having that part of me again that was lost. I don't want to take that away from her."

Thomas didn't like the idea of lying to his sister, but if it was for Newt's sake then he would do his best. "Have you remembered anything yet?"

Newt shook his head, "No, but last night I dreamt of something. A memory I think. And I only remember pieces but, she was there."

"Well I promise not to say anything. But for her sake I think you should soon." Thomas patted him on the back and the two made the short walk back inside to meet up with everyone again and finish the plan for getting inside.

It was time to get to work. Time to get Minho back.

I added the conversation with Newt and Thomas because I felt it was too important a scene to be left out like they did in the movie. Please review and give me your thoughts! XOXO
