Thomas' PoV:

Thomas didn't see Gally or work for him until a few days after he arrived in the Glade.

He worked for Zart in the Gardens, and Winston in the Blood House - which he hated, by the way - before working for the Builders. That was just the way the rotation worked for Greenies, as everyone seemed to call him.

But when he met Gally, Thomas wished that he'd worked for him first.

The guy was hot. He had dark hair and was taller than him, and looked a lot stronger than Thomas, too. Thomas' stomach flipped nervously as he and Alby approached the Keeper of the Builders. "Gally, this is Thomas," Alby said. "He'll be working for you for today."

Thomas, still tired from getting up early, smiled at Gally. "Hey."

"Nice to meet you, Thomas." They shook hands. Gally's hand shake was so firm and strong that he almost knocked Thomas over. Alby left as Gally said, "So what I'm going to have you first is put some boards up on the Homestead. Good that?"

Thomas nodded, and followed Gally over to the shack. "Did you guys build this?" he asked.

"Part of it was here when we got here," Gally said. "Over time we've added to it, when they send us new supplies." Thomas nodded again as Gally handed him some wooden planks and a hammer. "Simple enough. Just try not to break anything, Greenie."

His tone was teasing and sarcastic, but Thomas couldn't tell if Gally was trying to be mean. "I'm going to be working down here to supervise you," Gally went on. "Get on that ladder and fix those boards up there."

Thomas looked up and gulped. The ladder went to a third story window, higher than he would have thought. "Up there?"

Gally motioned in agreement. "Go on, Greenie."

"It's Thomas," he said firmly, before starting up the ladder.

"Grab your stuff, shank!" Gally exclaimed, pointing to the bag with Thomas' supplies. "That might be helpful, yes?"

"Yeah. Sorry," Thomas said, blushing and grabbing the bag before going up the ladder again. He tried not to think about the ground far below as he worked, or the fact that an hour after he'd started, Gally had taken off his shirt.

Shortly after that, a short chubby kid poked his head out at him through the window that was near him. "Aaaahhh!" Thomas shouted in surprise. Thankfully he didn't fall off the ladder, but he accidentally dropped the piece of wood he was holding. Gasping in horror, Thomas watched helplessly as the wood fell, and Gally looked up just as the wood hit him on the head.

"Gally!" Thomas rushed down the ladder, immediately rushing to his side. Gally was on the ground, unconscious. Thomas tried to lift him, turning the corner of the Homestead and half dragging, half carrying Gally with his arm around the unconscious boy's waist.

Another boy immediately saw them and gasped. "What happened?"

"I - I accidentally hit him with wood while I was working on the Homestead," Thomas said, freaking out because he'd hit his boss on the head. A bump was already forming on Gally's head. "I'm new here."

"I know. I saw you come up," the boy said. "I'm Jeff. I'm one of the Med-jacks."

"Is that like a doctor?" Thomas asked.

Jeff laughed. "Med-jacks are the doctors here," he informed Thomas. "Now, come on, let's get him in the Homestead."

Jeff helped him carry Gally up the stairs in the house and into an empty room. Newt and Alby rushed in shortly after they laid Gally down on the bed. "What happened?!" Alby demanded, furious. Gally was still unconscious.

Thomas retold the story, including the boy who startled, and Alby growled. "Chuck," he said.

Newt put a hand on his arm. "Alby," he said. "Calm down, alright? We'll find him, talk to him - there's no need to-"

"He knocked one of our Keepers unconscious!" Alby yelled.

"No, it's my fault," Thomas said. "I was scared, but I shouldn't have dropped the wood. I lost focus. I'm sorry."

Newt looked impressed, but Alby still looked angry. He stormed out and Thomas sighed, feeling awful. "I didn't mean it," he said.

"I know, Greenie." Newt patted him on the back. "He'll be fine. The Med-jacks'll take care of him."

"He'll be furious with me when he wakes up," Thomas said.

Newt shrugged. "We'll see." That didn't make Thomas feel better. The blond boy grinned at him and followed Alby out of the room.
