Maze Runner mates

Chapter 15 - Home from home

"Like-

Then the door opened and a man with grey hair stood lean and tall by the metal caged door. We all stood up. He looked at us all.

"You kids doing alright?" He said with a slight accent.

"Sorry about all the fuss, we had ourselves a bit of a swarm." He said

"Who are you?" I said

"I am the reason you're all still alive. Its my intention to keep you that way. No come with me, we will get you guys squared away" He said and smiled and walked off

We all just stared at each other. We all followed him and went through  tunnel and then under ground I am guessing. There were people doing work here and you could hear the machine working. 

"You can call Mr. Janson. I run this place. For us it is a sanctuary, safe from the horrors of the outside world. You should all think of it as a way station. Kind of a home between homes. Watch yourselves" He said as we continued walking

"You taking us home?" I said

He turned around and looked at all of us mainly Alex and I.

"A home of sorts. Sadly there wouldn't be much left of where you came from. But we do have a place for you. A refuge outside the scorch. Where WCKD will never find you again. How does that sound?" He said

We all looked at each other suspiciously.

"Why you helping us?" Minho said

"Let's just say the world out there is in a rather precarious situation. And we're all hanging on by a very thin thread. The fact that you guys can survive the flare virus, makes you the best chance of humanities continued survival. Unfortunately it also makes you a target. As no doubt by now, you've noticed. Beyond this door is the beginning of your new lives." He said and swiped a card through a machine.

 It opened up a tunnel. Then he turned and looked at us all.

"First things first let's do something about that smell" He said

He led us down the corridor and too the showers and we walked down all the halls and finally go to the showers. I took my clothes off and left them outside. I washed myself and then I put my hand on the wall and washed my face and just stood under the water and let everything else just be soaked in warm water. When we all finished, they handed us clothes and we went to separate rooms and got dressed. Except for Alex she got dresses with Frypan in one of the rooms. Once we were all dressed they took us to this labatory based hospital.

Newt saw the man come to him with a big syringe. I didn't hear what the man said to Newt.

All I heard was "Try to relax"

I saw Minho running on the treadmill. The doctor next to me was taking my blood.

"Sure you got enough there?" I said

He just looked at me. Then he saw the doctor and smiled.

"Good evening Dr. Crawford." He said

"Evening how are the new arrivals holding up?" She said

"So far so good" He said

Minho, Frypan, Newt and I watched as she approached the girls. 

"And you must be Teresa and Alex" She said and smiled at them.

She shut the curtains.

"We need to keep an eye on the girls" I said to Newt

"I don't care much for Teresa just Alex" Newt said
