Thomas's POV

They dragged us out of the room, down the hallway and practically threw us into our assigned quarters. "Get your asses in there! All of you!" One of the guards yelled.

Once the door shut, everyone instantly turned towards me. "What the hell was that about?" Minho scoffed.

"You didn't really think they were just gonna let you through?" Newt asked.

"No, of course I didn't." I said reaching into my back pocket and taking out the key card I stole. "I'm gonna find out what's on the other side of that door."

I saw them all roll their eyes. "Look, they are hiding something. These people aren't who they say they are. Y/N knew that and now they won't let her go."

"No, Thomas, you don't know that." Newt sighed. "The only thing that we do know is that they helped rescue us from WICKED. They gave us new clothes. They gave us food. They gave us a proper bed. Some of us haven't had that in a long time. Some of us a lot longer than others. And besides, they said they were just running a few tests on Y/N."

Just then the vent went flying out from under one of the bunks. "Hey, Thomas." Aris greeted as he peaked his head out from under the bed.

"What the. . ." Frypan muttered.

"Did you get it?" Aris asked.

"Yeah, let's go." I said showing him the badge. As he ducked back into the air vent, I turned back towards my friends.

"All right, look, maybe you guys are right. Maybe I'm just being paranoid," I said as I started to climb under the bed. "But I got to find out for sure. Just cover for me. I'll be back as soon as I can."

*****

We were right.

Aris and I quickly slid back through the air vents, trying to get back as soon as possible. When we did, I pushed the cover making it slide across the room.

"Thomas!" I heard Frypan yell. I crawled out from under the bed to see everyone looking at me, waiting for me to explain.

There wasn't any time to explain.

"We gotta go," I said quickly. "We gotta go right now."

"What the hell are you talking about?" Minho asked as I ran to the door.

"What do you mean we gotta go?" Newt asked.

"They're coming. Come on. We gotta go." I said throwing aside a mattress and grabbing the sheet. "They're coming for us."

"Paige, she's still alive," I mumbled as I tied the sheet around the door handle.

"What happened in there?" Someone asked.

"Aris, what happened?" Frypan asked.

"Thomas, can you just calm down and talk to us?" Newt asked, my back still to him.

"She's still alive." I said tying the knot.

"Who's she? Y/N?" Asked Frypan.

"Ava," I said quickly.

"Ava?" Newt repeated. "Will you just turn around and talk to us?"

"It's WICKED!" I yelled, finally turning around. "It's still WICKED. It's always been WICKED."

I walked back across the room, with everyone watching me. I grabbed a mattress and pressed it against the door.

"Thomas." Newt said calmly as he put his hand on the mattress. I slowly turned towards him, struggling to calm my breathing. "What did you see?"
