Solo ◇Thomas◇ II

“Your four! Don't move!” 

Soldiers surrounded them all aiming their guns at the four. Newt and Spencer looked at each other and she started to reach for her daggers but a soldier noticed. 

“Stop! All of you on your knees or we will shoot!” 

The four looked at each other deciding on what to do when a soldier turned to the other soldiers shooting them down. They stared at the soldier in shock until the soldier took off their mask revealing Gally. 

Minho looked at Gally in complete shock, “Gally?” 

He nods his head at him respectfully, “Minho.” Gally looked up at the building they had just jumped out of. “You guys are nuts.” 

“Never again.” Spencer muttered, making the four boys smile. 

Thomas looks at Minho realising he was still in awe of the walking and talking Gally in front of him. “I'll explain later.” He says placing a hand on his shoulder before running off, the others following behind him.

Newt, Minho and Spencer hid behind one planter whilst Gally and Thomas hid behind a different one. Police cars drive by them and the helicopter above shines bright lights in hopes of finding them. 

Spencer and Newt sat next to each other breathing heavily, they reached their hands out resting them together knowing they were in the same boat. 

“Well they're definitely pissed.” Gally said to the group before him and Thomas got into a conversation. 

Spencer moved to the side of the planter coughing up some of the black goo, she stayed there for a second trying to catch her breathing although it did not help. 

Minho squats in front of Newt as he starts coughing, “Newt, how you feeling?” 

Newt shook his head but smiled at him putting a hand on his shoulder, “Terrible. It's good to see you.” 

Minho put his hand over Newts before moving towards Spencer, “Spencer what are you-” He cut himself off seeing the black goo on the floor. 

Spencer looked at him wiping the black goo off her mouth and she shook her head hoping he would stay quiet. 

“Who knows?” Minho asked, looking back at the others. 

“Newt and now you.” 

“Don't worry we’ll get you that cure.” Minho went to turn away but Spencer pulled him back. 

“No, you give Newt the cure.” She saw Minho hesitate so she grabbed his shirt in her fists, “Promise me you’ll give it to Newt first. Promise me.” 

He swallowed thickly but nodded, “I promise.” 

She let go of him and he moved over to Gally and Thomas to join their conversation. Spencer moved over to Newt sitting next to him and resting her hand over his. 

“Did he see?” Newt asked 

“Yeah.” Spencer took a deep breath as they both still struggled, “He’ll keep his mouth shut.” 

Newt nodded and tangled his fingers round hers as she did the same. 

Thomas appeared next to them grabbing Newt gently and helping him up, “Come on bud. We gotta get you up. Let's go.” 

Minho helped Spencer get up as she sent him a smile in thanks before nodding to Newt. He knew what she meant and he moved to help Thomas with Newt.

An explosion at the main large gates was enough to make them stumble and lower down in case anything hit them. They watched as the once dark sky lit up as things started to catch fire. The large explosion made them all stop watching as fireballs and things fly around. 

Gally scoffs, “We’re supposed to take down Wicked, not the whole damn city.” 

“It's still beautiful.” Spencer whispers to herself. 

As they heard sirens in the back they started shuffling backwards but Gally stayed in his spot. 

Thomas patted Gally on the shoulder, “Gally come on.” 

●●●●

“Tunnels are right up ahead.” They followed Gally through the side of the streets, his gun raised high and ready to shoot if needed. 

Suddenly Gally drops down and they notice the flashing blue and red lights up ahead, “Hey! Stay low! Stay low!”

They hide behind another planter, Thomas peering over the edge only to retreat back immediately when another car pulls up with more soldiers running out and aiming their guns. 

Gally does the same and they notice they were lined up, some with shields as they waited for something. 

He leans his head back against the concrete, a frustrating sigh escaping his lips, “Damn it.” 

Minho furrows his eyebrows, “What are they waiting for?” 

“A killing riot.” 

As soon as those words left Spencer’s mouth another bomb went off in front of a store causing it to burst into flames. Large crowds of people they encountered outside the city were rushing in, some throwing grenades and others shooting as the Wicked force did the same back. 

“Stay down! Stay down!” Minho grabbed Spencer and Newt, pulling them out of harm's way. 

When Gally noticed some guards being thrown like rag dolls he turned to them with scared eyes. “We gotta go. We gotta go.” 

They moved once more, their bodies on high alert as they kept their heads down. They rushed towards an alleyway only to be thrown to the ground by an exploding building next to them. 

Thomas pulled out the walkie from his belt, “Brenda are you there?” 

“Thomas! I'm here!” Her voice came through the walkie. 

Spencer started coughing a lot but Gally and Thomas assumed it was from the dust. 

Thomas was panting hard as he leaned against the wall, his body aching, “We’re not gonna make it.” 

“Wait, what are you talking about?” 

He glances at Newt seeing him in an even worse condition than he was earlier. “Just take the others. Get everybody out while you still can.” 

Spencer started reaching for her machete, if they were staying here she needed to make sure she died properly. Newt noticed this and put his hand on her arm shaking his head. 

“No.” Brenda's voice came through the walkie making Spencer stop.

“Brenda.” Thomas says in a demanding voice hoping to get his point across. 

“I'm not leaving you Thomas, none of you. Okay? So just forget it. I made a promise and I'm going to keep it.” 

“Even though you shouldn't?” 

It was quiet on the line for a second until her voice came through again. “Thomas don't worry, I'm coming to you.” 

“What are you talking about?” 

“Our rides here! Just look for us near the tunnels.” 

Thomas clips the walkie back to his belt standing to his feet and pulling Newt up with Minho’s help. Spencer stumbled up and held onto the wall for support before she steadied herself.
