Thomas POV
I stare at the three words written on my arm. RUN! 

I let go of Newt and stand up quickly pulling him up with me as well. "What the bloody hell..." A twig snaps somewhere in the forest behind us and I turn around quickly, my eyes scanning the area looking for movement, but I don't see anything.

 "Tommy we need to go back and check on the others." I nod. "Yea c'mon." We leave the area quickly, the blanket forgotten on the ground. 

I want to ask Teresa what she meant but I can't focus on anything aside from getting to our friends. Is WICKED there? Did they somehow find us? 

How though we were so careful not to leave a trail. 

There's a rustle in the trees up ahead and I pull Newt and myself behind a tree quickly. We wait for what seems like forever. I've pulled him close to me so that his back is against my chest. 

He's pulled out a small blade from his pocket. I remember him telling me once that he never goes anywhere without his knife.

 There's no more sounds except for our breathing so I slowly move my head to peak around the tree. I don't see any movement or anything but even if someone is out there we can't just wait here for them to find us. 

"We just make a dash for it ok? We just run like hell towards the main road, find Bertha and drive off." Newt nods. "Ready?" He nods again, gripping his knife tighter in his hand. "Now."

 We take off running as fast as we can towards Bertha. I hold myself back a little bit so that I don't completely abandon Newt whose slowed down by his limp. Not that that seems to be stopping him from running faster then I've ever seen him run before.

 I try to listen for sounds while we run but all I can hear are our feet hitting the ground and our heavy breathing, so that's got to be a good sign at least.

 I can see the main road up ahead and I see Bertha parked exactly where we left her. Newt and I share a look before slowing down and crouching as we slowly give Bertha a wide birth just to make sure that there's no surprises waiting for us.

 I can't see anyone from where I'm currently crouching and by the look on Newt's face he can't either so we are in the clear for now. 

I stand up and head over to Bertha walking quickly, Newt walks beside me until we get to the vehicle and then he opens the passenger side door and hops in. I climb into the drivers seat and then it hits me that when we start up Bertha she's going to be loud so we will be telling whoever is in that forest (if anyone actually is) exactly where we are.

 It's to late to turn back now though so shuck it.

 I turn the keys in the ignition and Bertha starts up and as I predicted she's very loud. I just hit the gas pedal and fly down the road.

 I watch the trees go flying past us as we continue to pick up speed. I don't want to even think about slowing down until we are far from here. Although it seems I'm going to fast as Newt tells me. "Tommy slow down we're going to fast." 

I glance over at him before nodding. "Ok...ok." I put less pressure on the gas pedal and we begin to slow down. Not by much though. 

When I look back over at Newt he looks angry and a little scared but I'm scared as well, not for me but for our friends. "You ok Newt?" "How did Teresa know...Why would WICKED tell her? They know she could just warn us that they know where we are so why tell her anything?" 

"Maybe she overheard it?" 

It's a bad suggestion considering that Teresa is locked in a room and isn't allowed to leave according to her. "Yea maybe..."
