Alby smiled at them. He didn't care if it was one was a girl and another a kid,he was just happy to see them. It had been months since they had seen each other. Ever since that Griever got him,it just was weird. He woke up in the hospital without really anybody else. He was alone,but then today,while walking down the hallway he heard voices coming from room '49'. And look who was in it. "Alby..how bloody long have you been here?",Newt asked him. Alby just shook his head. "Don't know,couple months I think",Alby told him. "Well its good to see you",Teresa said. There was a grin on her face. Alby didn't return it. "Where have you guys been?",Alby asked them. He wanted answers from somebody but the WICKED employees never answered. "We went through a desert",Teresa pointed at Newt then at herself. "Chucky here got a knife to the chest",Newt said. Alby's eyes widened. "WICKED really goes too far sometimes",Alby said,angrily. Newt shook his head. "It wasn't WICKED",Newt said. "Well,it kinda was. They were controlling him",Teresa stated. "Does it look like I bloody care right now?", Newt somewhat snapped at Teresa. Teresa was silenced and didn't know what to say. "It was Gally that threw the knife",Newt told Alby. Alby balled up his fists. "That traitor!", Alby hissed. "He was being controlled by WICKED",Teresa said,standing up. "Oh what? Did someone have a little thing for Gally?",Alby asked sorta like a threat. Teresa shook her head and sat down. Chuck and Teresa started exchanging a few words to each other under their breath. Newt told Alby about the Scorch Trials and how he wasn't exactly immune to the Flare. "I still don't get it. If you weren't infected..how did you die?",Alby asked Newt. "Tommy shot me in my head",Newt said. "Oh don't tell me he's a traitor too!",Alby grunted. "No..no. I asked him to shoot me",Newt looked at the ground. "Why?",Alby asked. Newt sighed. "Don't really remember what was going on in my mind right then. Just can't remember. I felt like I was under some trance or somethin'. My head didn't feel right. Guess I needed to get rid of the pain",Newt said. Alby simply nodded and looked at Teresa. Their eyes met and their stare held. "How'd you die?", Alby asked. "Save Thomas from a crashing ceiling",Teresa told him. "Simple enough", Alby thought. Before they said anything else there was a clapping in the doorway. He heard a growl emerge from Newt's throat. Alby turned around to see a man in a white suit. Just everything white and with hair combed neatly and most likely over a bald spot. "Ratman",Newt sneered. "Hello,Alex",the 'Ratman' replied.
Newt had never grown such hate for someone before. The hatred inside him felt like black ooze. It was cold and it was dark. "Leave us alone!",Newt growled. "Oh Alex. Stop messing around. We don't have time for this",Ratman replied. "Don't call me Alex", Newt told him. "Why? Don't you like your real name?",Ratman smirked. Newt didn't know how to respond. He did like his real name because it was his,but he liked Newt a lot too. Alby walked up to him. "What do you want from us?!",Alby brought up a fist to his face. Ratman didn't flinch. "We have chosen you to complete another trial",Ratman said. A groan escaped from both Teresa's and Newt's throats. "What's a trial",Chuck asked from his bed. "A trial is like a test,Chuck",Ratman replied. "I wasn't asking you", Chuck muttered under his breath. "We need you and a few more to go into this trial", Ratman continued. "What if we don't want to?",Newt asked. "Did I say you ever had a choice?",Ratman asked. Newt sneered a bit at Ratman. "What are you making us do this time",Teresa asked him,groaning. "Oh its simple,you need to travel a long distance if you want to see your friends again",Ratman grinned. Alby's eyes narrowed. "Where are we",Alby asked. "Well...we're in a hospital",Ratman smirked. Alby growled. "No where are we in the world. What country and continent",Alby asked. "We are in Afghanistan in Asia",the Ratman answered. "You devilish swine!",Newt yelled at him. "How in the name of god are we going to get to Mexico?!",Teresa stood up from her chair. Ratman shrugged his shoulders. "Don't worry you'll have help and you'll have about two to three months to get there",Ratman said with a bigger smile. Newt hated this guy so much he just couldn't keep it in any longer. Newt grabbed the Ratman's shoulders and shoved him into the wall. "We are not your little experiments,Ratman!", Newt yelled at him. "I told you a while ago,my name is Janson",Janson returned. "I don't give a bloody crap! You can't make us go through this anymore!",Newt yelled at him. Ratman shoved Newt off,making the teenage boy stumble a bit. "I never said that we would make anything bad happen to you. It'll be perfectly easy",Ratman told him. "Ya and we'll be fine",Newt said. "And then we'll finally be free to do whatever",Teresa said sarcastically. Ratman sneered. "Hey look you two,you got the stupid grin off his face", Alby chuckled. "I'll have you know you're doing something very important and I even have someone to prove it",Ratman grinned again. At the cue someone came in wearing a hood. "We don't need this right now,Ratman",Alby said. Then the person took off the hood. They all gasped but then they growled,even Teresa. It was a boy and he was looking at the ground. Newt hissed a bit.
"GALLY!"
