COMPLETED- The New One- A Maze Runner Fanfiction

Chapter Fifteen *Newt's POV*

"Where did you last get a signal from Minho's radio?" I turned in my car, facing Thomas in the back. His fingers flew across a laptop keyboard, eyes scanning the words.
"Hold on..." He mumbled, still searching. I wanted to scream. Minho and (y/n) could be in danger! There was no time to-
"Found it!" Thomas announced, interrupting my thoughts. He read off the address to Gally, who in turn, plugged it in to his GPS and we were off.
Anxiety crawled through me as we took turns and the road flew beneath us. Why hadn't Minho been answering his radio? Was he in danger? Was (y/n) in danger?
Don't be silly. I told myself. Minho probably just forgot to turn on his radio.
Ten more intense minutes crawled by. Gally took several wrong turns after being notified to late by the GPS, wearing our time and my patience thin.
I reluctantly turned on the radio to clear the air a little bit, but it did nothing to relax me. If anything, the upbeat pop song only increased my nerves.
They probably increased Teresa's as well who requested a different station. I found a classical music station and played that, the sound of Beethoven flowing from the radio like a lullaby.
"Tommy, have you been able to track them?" I asked him, turning in my seat again. Thomas looked up at me from the computer for a second, then nodded and looked back down.
"The radio hasn't been moving, so wherever they are, they're still there." I exhaled with slight relief, but the only thing that would relieve my anxiety would be to see (Y/n).
"Hey, Newt," Teresa said. "Lighten up a little bit. You're about ready to tear off the seat." I looked down at my hands, which I hadn't realized I had been holding onto with a death grip. I relaxed my hands and closed my eyes, trying to clear my mind.
I only opened them when I heard Gally say, "We're here." My eyes flew open with the speed of a gunshot and I scrambled out of the car.
"Newt," Gally hissed in a hushed whisper. "Get a hold of yourself."
Even though I did not appreciate being lectured by Gally one bit, I obeyed and steadily crept behind Gally, who had remembered to bring his gun and was slowly creeping towards the building, which appeared to be an abandoned warehouse.
Gally kicked open the door, sweeping the area with his gun. There was no sign of anyone. "All clear," he said and we all raced in, searching for the rest of our team.
"Minho?!" Teresa called. "(Y/n)?!" We joined her, calling for our friends.
After a few minutes, Thomas spoke from behind some boxes. "Guys...you better come see this."
We all raced around to where he was. Thomas held up a radio.
Minho's radio.
Dread sunk in my chest. "They're gone." Thomas's voice was hushed.
Gally immediately dialed Ava Paige, telling her about the situation.
I felt numb with worry and anxiety. They weren't here, but their radio was.
I hadn't realized that tears had been brimming my eyes until I felt something wet on my cheeks. Teresa wrapped her arms around me in a hug. "We'll find them," she promised.
Under ISA's orders, we were sent back to ISA headquarters to wait in our rooms. They claimed they were looking into it. "We have to do something." I said, pacing in my room.
"Newt, we should leave this to the professionals." Gally said. "They've got it under control."
"But we can't just sit here!" I said, almost yelling.
"We have to, Newt." Gally said. "It's our job. Your girlfriend will be fine, alright?"
Angry, I left the room, not wanting to deal with anything he had to say. I walked straight up to Teresa's room, a plan having formed in my mind. She answered on the first knock. "I've got a plan." I said. "Will you help?"
"Most definitely." She answered immediately. "What do I have to do?" And I told her.
