3RD POV
You all make it to the back entry and you unlock the door with the card, stepping inside.
"Wait," says Thomas, "We need someone on the outside, I have two radios."
"Chuck and I will stay," Brenda says taking one off of him. She walks away with Chuck to find somewhere undercover when Minho tells her, "Hey! Don't do anything stupid."
Newt stands in front of you and you all look around, thinking of a plan. You all know this is risky and a small mistake can mess this all up and get you caught. "Do we know where we are going?" Newt asks.
"We just need to get to the lab and find the supplies," you reply.
"But there are guards everywhere."
"It's worth the risk," Thomas states.
"Come on, this way follow me," you say.
You remember where the lab is and you lead the others behind you. The hallway is longer than you remember and you all need to keep on constantly hiding from workers. You find the room you were taken to before right before Janson walks out of the room behind you.
Luckily, he walks the opposite way right before you pull everyone in the room. You stand and close your eyes, trying to map out the place in your mind as the others wait.
"Ok, who's coming with me?" You question them.
"I think Newt and I should grab the supplies and you and Thomas could find the cure and we'll meet outside?" Minho suggests.
"That sounds like a plan," Thomas replies. You all use the key card to access the room and split up. After a few minutes, you see Minho and Newt holding some tubes and syringes and you tell them to meet you outside. They are halfway out when you hear Brenda's voice over the radio,
"Y/N! Guys you there?"
Thomas turns on the radio, "Yeah Brenda? What's wrong?"
"It's- it's Chuck."
He looks at you, with a worried look on his face and you listen in. "What's wrong with Chuck?" He asks her.
"He doesn't look so good, I don't think he is immune... he has the flare."
"The guys are on their way, make your way to the car, fast! If Y/N and I don't come back in ten minutes then leave, and don't look back," he tells her.
"Tommy, please hurry!" Chuck exclaims when Thomas stumbles back and shouts, "Y/N, look out!" You turn around to see Janson with a gun aiming at you.
"You don't have to do this!" Thomas says.
"Yes I do, I have to do this for the world," Janson answers and grabs your arm. He turns around to walk out but Thomas suddenly pushes him to the ground, causing him to fall and drop his gun. You pick it up and Janson runs to Thomas, he goes for a punch and then they beat each other up while you stand there not knowing how to help.
"Y/N run!" Thomas yells at you.
You head for the door but it is locked, "I need the card!"
He throws it over to you and you swipe it along with the door right as Janson runs to you. He catches you off guard and swiftly takes the gun from your grasp. "You really need to learn to stay vigilant," he scoffs, pointing it at Thomas and rushing out of the door.
He pulls you out with him, forgetting to take Thomas out of the lab room. He quickly looks around and finds luckily finds the serum and shoves it in his pocket. He turns to leave but his eye catches something, a few computers showing the scorch, Maze, and the now broken down city. "What the hell?" He whispers. Then a screen shows close-ups of the disease along with virus samples on the table beside it. He realises that the flare was made, that this is all WICKED'S fault. He grabs his radio,
"Newt? Newt do you copy?" He asks him through the radio.
"We're nearly out Tommy, should we wait for you?" Newt replies, stopping Minho and himself.
"I need your help, they took Y/N."
"Shit, we're on our way back, don't get caught!"
They meet up halfway through the hall and Minho asks, "Which way did they go?"
"Down that way. But that's not our only problem," replies Thomas.
"What happened, did Brenda get caught?"
"No, but if we don't hurry then she'll get attacked by Chuck."
"Shit... She'll have to kill the kid."
"Then we better get moving then," Newt states.
As they rush down the corridor, Thomas shows them the cure in his hand. The sound of footsteps behind them become louder so they walk faster. Thomas finds the room but the key card doesn't seem to unlock it, "Shit, it's a different room!"
They look behind them, where three guards stand with guns. The boys raise their arms up as they realise they are cornered. They are then taken to a big room with other people along with Janson.
"Hey!" Thomas shouts at him, rushing to him.
"Thomas, here you are. Did you really think you would ever really get out of here? We have eyes everywhere!"
"We got away last time. This time, I came back for Y/N."
"Well, I have to say that was a dumb idea. Not only did you come back to somehow save the girl, but you now have gotten your friends stuck in this mess, " Janson tells him.
Thomas loses it and pushes him against the wall shouting, "Where the fuck is she?!"
"Tommy stop!" Newt and Minho pull him back.
"Don't do anything you might regret, he has a gun," Minho says before Thomas finally releases his grip.
Janson snickers and shakes his head, "You really are quite the fighter aren't you?"
"Go to hell! I know who you people really are," Thomas states.
The whole room goes silent and the other children look over at them. "What are you talking about?" Minho asks.
"They created the Flare. Him-Janson, Wicked is the reason we are all here!"
"So you figured it out... Smart boy. But this is all a misunderstanding, it had to be done-" Janson replies.
"No! Don't act like you're the good guy, you killed my friends. The Gladers, Gally... Aris, Winston, Y/N and Chuck are dying and we are trying to save them!"
"You all could have stayed in here! Instead, they followed you and you got them killed out there. You have only yourself to blame."
Thomas stops and looks back at his friends, with tears in his eyes. Was he not good enough? He thinks to himself, would they have been better off in the maze?
"Don't listen to him," says Minho, "If it weren't for you we would still be in the maze and possibly eaten by Grievers."
"Take them to a room," Janson orders the guards.
