Find Your Anchor - Part 1

4. Another Name, Another Home

"Where's Thomas? I really should apologize him. He's the one who was the most affected by Chuckie's death."

Everyone who was grinning madly, stopped in their middle of the track. Gally gulped.

"He was alive when, when I heard about you guys. Rorence said that the one who made a deal with him was named Thomas." When nobody replied, Gally desperatelly began questioning. 

"He's not dead, is it? He shouldn't be dead. He deserves happiness! Oh my god, he isn't, right? Is he injured? Is, is he jacked up in the head? Is he not immune? Oh shuck it, slintheads! Tell me!" 

Aris suddenly spoke up. He glanced at Brenda, Newt and Minho. They were the closest to Thomas, so he should be... um, cautious about it. One wrong word, his neck will be snapped.

"Thomas. Thomas was shot. We don't know where he is. Dogman took him to the med-jacks, I guess." 

Gally frowned. He frowned so deep that his eyebrows were almost hidden.

"Shot? Where? And who's Dogman?"

This time Sonya spoke up.

"In his stomach."

Gally now raised his eyebrows so high Sonya was afraid that those eyebrows might disappear through his hair.

Brenda(Which was fairly confusing) spoke up about that question.

"Dogman is the bitch who took us here. You know, the angry bulldog looking bastard?"

Gally's eyebrows returned to normal. 

"Ohhh I like this girl. 

Okay, so Thomas was shot, you don't know where he is, and he might die."

"That's correct."

"O-o-o-kay. I think I might punch that Dogman in his head when I see him again."

Brenda grinned slightly.

"Ohhh I like this boy. I bet he and Minho were best friends when they were in the maze. They has the same annoying temper, sarcasm, and dumbness." 

Everyone chuckled, and felt a little better when Minho whined to Brenda "I'm not dumb!", and Gally whined "I'm not annoying!". Everyone howled with laughter when Brenda said "Yes you are, shanks."

But before they those three could start their never-ending bickerings, the door opened, and Dogman walked in. 

Gally wanted to punch him like he said he was, but Minho had put his hand on the angry boy's chest. 

"Don't." He whispered, bearly enough to be heard by the New Gladers.

Dogman didn't look like he was interested, he was in a far-away-world. But he had a task to do. 

"I'm going to announce you're formal names and homes. Where you were born, et cetera. Just shut up and listen, okay?"

Everyone nodded their head. They were still curious about their pasts.

"Who's Newt and Sonya?" Dogman asked, looking through the files he was holding.

The pair raised their hands. 

"Well, Newt. Your real name is Jay Foster Lahey. Sonya, you're Ellizabeth Rue Lahey. You two are born in London, with your big brother Issac Lahey. Your mothe passed away after she gave birth to Sonya, or Lizzie. They moved to the United States, and lived happily for a while, but your father began drinking. He abused you three, but Newt and Sonya got kidnapped by WICKED. Your brother, Issac Lahey is currently in London."
