Jake was in his office, wearing a pair of reading glasses, scrolling his mouse all over his computer monitor. There were cluttered papers all over the two desks in his room, including the one where his computer was, and the entire place smelled like brewed coffee. He had been inside his office for approximately five hours concentrating on his work. He quickly got up and walked to the other side of the room. He grabbed the coffee maker and poured what was left of it inside a white tall mug. Just as he was taking a sip of his already cold coffee, he heard a beep. He turned around and saw a small black screen popped out of his monitor. With his mug of coffee in his hand, he walked toward his computer and adjusted his glasses to read what it said.

To: Clock Master Jake Adams

From: Watcher Hendricks

Subject: WICKED Mission 1 of 3

TAIMN Traveler Holly Adams' first mission is 98% successful. Second mission will begin in your command.

Then below the text were several rows with the gladers' pictures on it and their names. The ones that survived the maze had a green border glowing around its picture while the ones that did not had a red border. Jake smiled in front of his monitor, proud of his sister's success. Even though there were red borders in some of the pictures, it was lesser than the original. As he closed the message screen, he heard his door open and from the corner of his eye could see that it was Minho. The young man wasn't wearing his usual get-up. That time, he was wearing all-black attire as if he was working for the SWAT team.

"She finished the Maze mission successfully" Jake shared, taking his reading glasses off.

Minho didn't doubt Holly for a second but still let out a relieved sigh. "That's good to know. What are you doing there?"

"Finalizing my research, making sure everything is set" Jake replied with a sheepish smile, stacking a few papers and stapled its corner.

"Well, is everything set?"

Jake responded by giving Minho a smile. He took off his white laboratory coat and revealed that he was wearing the exact attire as his companion. He draped the coat on his chair and opened the upper right drawer of his desk and pulled out a few small things, stuffing it in his pocket.

"Set and ready" he finally replied.

"Great" Minho grinned and started jogging in place as if he was ready to go on a battle. "What's our next step?"

Jake and Minho got out of the office and locked it. They walked along TAIMN's hallway greeting every employee they passed by. They took a left at the end of the corner and rushed inside an elevator before it closed. Jake pushed the button of their destination and watched the metal slide doors closed.

"Our next step is to get a new Clock Master" Jake answered the previous question with a smile and slowly pulled out a gun from his pocket, making sure it had enough bullets. "After that, we go to the Pod Area"

…Cliffhangers suck. Lol. The time I was making this, I only had the movie as a guide. I was thinking if I should read the books or wait for the next movie to know what'll happen to my story. I finished the three books a month ago though, proud of it B| And I'm sorry this ends here. But! I'm already working on the continuation of their story (a.k.a the Scorch Trials) Hopefully you guys will be able to wait for me to publish it. Thank you guys for taking the time reading this story. Any review is appreciated. 3 I have to go now! *starts with the sequel* B|
