Newt crossed his arms, "We'll worry about the note later."
"Newt, I think we need to worry about it now," I replied.
"She's right. I think you should worry about it now," Thomas agreed.
Newt frowned, "You've got enough to deal with at the moment."
Jeff spoke up, "He's right Newt. The box isn't coming back up."
"That means no greenie and no supplies," I put a cool cloth on the girls neck.
Jeff asked, "How long do you think we can last?"
"No one's said that," Newt blew him off. "Let's not jump to any conclusions. We'll just wait until she wakes up and see what she knows."
"Newt, can you focus?" I asked. "This is a big deal."
Newt looked at me sharply, "Somebody's got to have some answers around here."
Thomas turned and walked out.
"Where are you going?" Newt demanded.
"Back into the maze," Thomas replied. Minho ran after him.

Winston, Zart, Molly, Minho, Frypan, Thomas, Daniel and I grabbed some backpacks and packed a few things for our trek into the maze.
The 8 of us met outside the doors.
"I really wish you wouldn't go," Newt said as he hugged me. "I can't protect you out there."
I kissed him, "I have Daniel to look after me. We'll be fine. Home before you know it."
Daniel hugged Newt, "I'll look after her I promise."
"You'd better," Newt replied.
"Back soon," I called over my shoulder as we walked towards the door. "I love you." I smiled at my husband.
"Love you too," He blew me a kiss.
Daniel and the gladers were watching us.
I froze at the entrance for a second. The maze was massive. The tall, stone, walls loomed stories above my head. Ivy clung thickly to the surfaces in several places. The sounds of our feet crunching the stone pathway echoed.
"Stay close to me," Daniel whispered in my ear. I nodded and grabbed his harness strap. Thomas led us down several pathways before he dodged to the right. In a crack in the wall was a body. A huge body, leaking slime, with metal arms.
Danny put an arm in front of me as Thomas approached the carcass.
"That is disgusting," Zart said with a distasteful look. I wanted to throw up.
"There's something in there," Thomas said, peering into the gap. "You mean besides a griever pancake?" Frypan quizzed. I laughed a little internally.
"Um babe what are you doing?" Molly asked nervously as Minho walked up to the squashed beast.
I winced as Minho stuck his arm in. A stream of griever juice dripped down the stone wall. I felt nauseous watching him. At that moment the leg moved with a metallic scrape. Everyone yelped. I screamed and jumped back. Daniel pushed me behind him with his other hand gripping his machete. Molly and Thomas pulled Minho back.
"What the shuck," I asked. "Was that?"
"I thought you said it was dead!" Frypan eyed the beast.
Zart suggested, "It was a reflex?"
"You hope," Winston replied, looking scared.
Molly was hiding behind her boyfriend, "Maybe we should go back."
"Okay," Thomas waved his hand. "Let's try and pull it out."
The boys grabbed the leg and heaved it out. The impact was so great it knocked Frypan off his feet and into my legs. I fell back against the wall with a Thump! Minho approached the pile of griever guts and picked up something covered in dripping blubber. Molly whispered, "I'm not kissing you for a month."
I chuckled. Daniel gagged, "Bro that is foul!"
Minho pulled something out of the gut with a very unappetizing slurp. He dropped the blubber on the ground. Everyone groaned in disgust. Minho shook the slime off his hand and looked at the cylinder. The cylinder was silver with three wires coming out of one end. W.C.K.D was stamped on it with a number sequence. A red light blinked every other second.
Thomas stared at it, "What the heck is that?"
"Interesting," Said minho.
"We know that. What is it though?" Molly stepped closer.
Frypan spoke, "Okay whatever it is can we take it back to the glade? I don't wanna meet this guys friends."
"Agreed," My twin responded.
"He's right," Minho agreed. "It's getting late."
"Good let's get out of here," Winston piped up. We all ran after Minho and Molly as they led us out of the maze.
