"Caught you red handed, Newt. What's this about the rules?"

Gally.

"We did nothing. Just fell asleep, s'all." Newt said.

Gally nodded,".......Riiiighhhttt. It's not what Alby thinks, but whatever you say, boss."

Newt looked terrified,"W-what did you just say?"

"Said 'it's not what Alby-'"

"We know that, idiot." Casey said,"What do you mean it's not what Alby thinks?"

"I mean it's not what Alby thinks."

"How would he know anything?" Newt asked.

"Oh. Only every Glader knows about...this." Gally waved his hand,  jesturing to Newt and Casey.

"What?"

"You goin deaf, Britty? The Gladers know! And boy, they ain't happy."

Casey attacked him.

There's no simple explanation for the situation. She just jumped.  And Gally just happened to be there.

"YOU BETTER FIX THOSE DAMN LIES, GALLY. I SWEAR!"

It was safe to say she had never seen him look so scared before.

He was being attacked.

By a girl.

The best part was either Minho's reaction, or Newt's.

When Minho found them, he blatenly laughed.

"Gally's a shank! Gally's a shank!"

Newt didnt stop her pulverization mode. He just folded his arms and tried to stay back.

Minho finally got her off of Gally, and back to the Slammer door.

Newt stood in front of her, to make sure she didn't kill Gally.

Minho had Thomas help him take Gally away, and Newt made Casey go back to the Slammer.

"Breakfast in a few. Just gotta go straighten a few things out."

And with that he was gone, and he forgot his sleeping bag.

When  he was late, she was concerned.

When he didn't come back, she was terrified.

Why wasn't he here?

Newt didn't break a promise.

Ever.

So, Casey broke the door open. 

With the key he left behind.

~

All of the Gladers were gathered at the West Door.

And by the shouts, she knew they were in trouble.

Two names.

Two decision makers.

One choice.

She bolted.

Ignoring her name, Thomas's name, and the closing door, she ran.

And she made it in.

She was stuck in the Maze, with Minho, Thomas and Alby.
