Thomas' POV:

"Do we have a plan of escape?" Teresa asked

"Oh I have a plan, don't you worry about that" I say

"This can't be good" Aris says and I elbow him which he laughs at.

"Alright, out of the three used to be Wicked workers, Aris and Teresa are the most trusted so... Aris, you'll be getting weapons from the weapons room..."

"But how? How can I when there's a camera watching at all times?"

"I was getting to that point. Minho and Gally, you two will be distracting the camera by fighting. Teresa will then come past and then run and get Janson. While he separates the both of you, Minho; you grab his key card from his belt and slide it to me. I will be around the corner. I will then race to the security room and shut down all the camera systems and after that, I will run to the cells and release Minho and Gally. Teresa would have run after she fetched Janson, back here to get Fryans Newt. Aris, after getting the weapons would have run to the cafeteria which is where we will all meet up and then we dash to the hanger"

"Sounds like a good plan" Newt says

"I'm in" Minho adds

"Everyone else cool?" I ask

The others nod in response. Now to put it into action.

Sirens blare as we gather in the cafeteria.

"Let's get out of here!" Gally says

I see Newt cringing and he grabs at his head.

"Newt are you ok?" I ask worried

"It hurts" he cringes and collapses on his knees.

"We need to get him out of here, people with the flare can't stand loud noises. Remember Thomas? That's why he gets angry when we argue" Teresa reminds.

I nod, remembering from what Ava had taught me back in the day.

"Newt look at me" I say and he does, cringing as he looks up. "I know it hurts but we need to get out of here now. Try concentrate on something calming, like the glade"

"Ok" he says and I pull him to his feet and we start running towards the hanger. As we run I hear something zip past my head and I duck. Grenades were being fired.

"Thomas look out!" Minho yells and pulls me to him. Just then, Wicked guards divide the group in two by standing in our way. Minho, myself and Newt on one side and Fry, Teresa, Gally and Aris on the other.

"Guys, go while you can!" Frypan yells

"No, we won't leave without you!" I yell

"At least split up, we have our ways of contact!"

"No one will be going anywhere" Janson says as he comes forward.

Newt then suddenly starts growling like some animal and I look at him and hold him back from attacking Janson.

"Control your pet Thomas, he won't last much longer"

"Thanks to you! You sucked faced shuck!" I yell at Janson

"I'll take that as a compliment" he smirks. "You're not leaving Thomas, nor are you Newt. You two are needed here for further, how should I put it? Testing more rather"

"No one is getting tested on any longer rat man" Minho says standing his ground.

"That's sad to hear. Unfortunately you don't have a choice"

"Yes we do" I say

"No you don't. Get them!" Janson yells and guards start coming towards us.

We were cornered, unarmed. Newt was tensing. The sirens definitely weren't helping him, especially with Janson around.

"I'm not letting him beat me Thomas, not again" he says to me angrily. I see his veins bulging.

"Newt control yourself shank" I say, it was the first time I had called him a shank and he looked at me, more like glared at me and I gulped slightly, not meaning to and I saw hurt in his eyes.

"Guys, catch!" I hear Aris yell and a gun comes flying our way. Newt looks up and I see him get an idea.

"Bend down on one knee" he orders

"Newt what are you..."

"I'm your leader! Listen to my orders!" He yells at me and I was taken aback but didn't put up a fight and did as I was told. He then ran and jumped off of my leg and grabbed the gun.

"Still surprises me" Minho says

"Yeah" I say but I didn't care.

I then feel someone grab my arms and pin me on the ground.

"Your time is up Thomas" I hear Janson say.

Bang!

I look and see Janson on the ground and Newt holding the grenade gun. Aris and the others were taking care of the other guards.

"Come on let's get our of here!" Minho yells but as we go to run Newt stands his ground still firing at the others.

"Newt come on!" I yell and grab his shoulder but he hits me. Newt just hit me.

"Newt! What the hell! Stop messing around!" I yell

"I'm not letting him beat me! I'm not a coward! I'm not!" He screams at me

"Newt you're not a coward but right now your being an idiot. Come on!" I yell but he pushes me up against the wall.

"I'm not going anywhere! I'm not a runner! I'm not afraid!" He screams. This wasn't Newt. The Newt I knew.

"Newt stop! You're scaring me! Just stop! This isn't you!"

I then see Minho and Gally tackle Newt to the ground and Teresa comes over to me.

"Guys stop!" I yell

"Thomas, they have him ok, let's go!" Teresa yells and she pulls me to the bergs. I see Gally and Minho half dragging and half carrying Newt who was in hysterics. My heart broke seeing him like this. A pain then suddenly runs up my leg and I stumble.

"Thomas!" Teresa yells "you've been hit!"

I clutch my leg. This one wasn't a grenade though, this was a bullet.

"I can't run" I say "leave me behind"

"No one gets left behind" she says "Fry help!" She yells and Frypan runs back and they help me get to the bergs. We had to keep dodging bullets that were flying from all directions. Aris was yelling at all of us to hurry up and soon enough we were all inside the berg, safe in its walls. I see Aris up front, controlling the aircraft as we fly away into the distance.
