Losing Game - Newt [The Maze Runner]

03:04 - BULLET WOUNDS

He had tried to protest but Alice refused not to come along and so did Newt, they were going to help get their friend back and there was nothing that Thomas could do or say to stop them. They all moved out of the area, slipped on their helmets and started a new part of the plan that was not even part of it in the first place.

They evaded trouble until it was time for them to enter the elevator, the three of them lined up along the back as guards while Teresa stood in front of them. They turned to look at each other when Janson stepped into the elevator, Alice gritted her teeth and she could taste blood from where she had bitten down on her tongue and she wasn't the only one affected, she could see Thomas tighten his grip on his gun, but Alice leant into him slightly in order to dissuade him from doing something stupid.

Janson started talking to Teresa about Thomas until they reached their floor and they all stepped out. They kept up a quick march as they headed towards the medical wing, Teresa started rambling on about how she didn't understand Thomas' blood.

"Don't waste your breath Teresa," Janson shouted out to them, seeing that their ruse was completely up, Alice slipped off her helmet, so she had her complete vison back, "he made his choice long ago."

More guards stormed up from the sides and Thomas put a gun to Teresa's head in order to keep them back, Janson started antagonising Thomas that he wouldn't shoot Teresa as he knew him too well for that. Teresa shoved them all back before she pulled something that sent a fire door down between them and all of the guards, with Teresa on the other side Alice shoved her middle finger up at them all with a grin on her face.

They moved deeper into the laboratory section before they ducked into a separate room to hide, Alice huffed while trying to catch her breath from the sudden bout of running, "well, how we enjoying the adventure, boys?" She whispered, she was happy when the two of them let out noises that would have been laughter or amusement if they had a little more breath.

"If we live through this, let's never do it again." Newt grinned while he slicked a hand through his sweat-soaked hair, "I've had enough of this for one lifetime." The other two made noises of agreement before they stood up and started to progress further into the wing, they knew that Janson had gotten soldiers nearby to where Minho would be so they would have to fight their way through this if they wanted to survive.

With their helmets discarded, they decided to move like they were meant to be there as it would be the best way to avoid being suspected.

Thomas slowed to a stop when he saw Ava Paige stood at the other end of the corridor, it only took a few paces for Alice and Newt to realise that Thomas was no longer following them. They were going to let him shoot her, until Janson rounded the corner and Newt rushed forward in order to push Thomas down.

As Alice moved a split second too late across the corridor, a bullet ripped through the air and went through her side, "Shit!" Alice screamed as she clutched the wound with one hand, a blinding flash of pain causing her eyes to go white for a minute. Her scream had been drowned out by the remaining shots that Janson had fired, and the two boys had no idea that she had been shot in the side. Good. She wanted to keep it that way otherwise they'd do all the work for her and she was fine – the adrenaline made sure that she could hardly feel anything.

"Minho!" The three of them shouted repeatedly as they ran through the corridor, shooting anyone that was a guard or soldier called in to deal with them.

Alice winced a little each time the pushback on her weapon caused her right side to jolt, but she masked it and continued following the boys while she glanced into every room that could possibly contain Minho. As she was a good shot, she managed to keep a lot more bullets than Thomas.
