I watch as Teresa fishes the tracker out of the back of Thomas' Neck, I sit down along with Gally and Frypan, holding a napkin to the back of our necks as Teresa has already gotten ours out. I watch as Newt walks over to us, a small smile on his face as he throws our clothes on the table. I don't know how Gally got these but they are WICKED guard outfits, so we can easily blend in. Mine is a solid black one with only a tint of blue here and there. I nod my head at Newt as a thanks as he begins to take off his Jacket, now exposing his whole arm. I frown at the sight, it has gotten so much worse in such a short amount of time. The veins are more prominent as the color has now darkened to a far worse color than bruised. I look at my arm and see that the infection has now spread down my whole arm as well as a little bit towards my neck. I look up to see Frypan looking at me. He smiles at me but it quickly fades. I furrow my brows at him wondering what's wrong.
"Please be careful, as soon as you get the bliss give it to yourself and give it to Newt. I can't lose either of you. We are family." Say Fry, tears brimming his eyes. I smile at the kind words he had just said as I reach my hand out and squeeze his forearm.
"Dont worry about us, you got a dangerous job to. Make sure you make it out safe as well." I say looking at him. He nods his head at me as he places his hand on mine, which is still resting on his forearm. We all look up to see Thomas standing from his chair, rubbing the back of his neck.
"You don't believe me?" I hear Teresa say to Thomas, causing him to turn towards her. "You really expect me to? After the shit you pulled?" Thomas' sudden words causes Gally and I to stand, slowly walking closer to the two. "You made your choice." Thomas says before Gally joins the conversation.
"Everything okay over here?" He asks, looking between Thomas and Teresa.
"Yeah, were done here." Thomas says before walking off towards Brenda, I follow him and stand beside Brenda, picking a weapon.
"You were in love with her weren't you?" Brenda asks Thomas before passing me a gun she had just cleaned. I take it from her and whisper a 'Thank you'. She begins to clean another gun, one I presume is for Thomas.
"I dont know" Thomas answers as he swings his jacket over his shoulders before slipping his arms into it.
"Just be careful, you sorta have this problem where you can't walk away from people, even though you should." She says, sliding a clip into the gun. "You cant save anyone Thomas." She says finally before handing the gun towards Thomas. Thomas takes the gun, still looking at Brenda intensely. Thomas glances as me for a moment before looking back at Brenda.
"I can try."
……………….
I walk besides Gally as we mirror the steps of Thomas, Newt and Teresa from the other side of the glass. We turn into the hallway they're walking in s Newt gives us a slight nod of the head, signaling us to walk ahead. Gally and I do so as we walk in front of them. Teresa puts in her thumbprint allowing us to reach the stairs. We all have our guns raised, cautious towards the other WICKED guards who might be here. I close the door behind us as I am the last to walk in.
"Hold up, hold up." I hear Gally say as he takes off his mask. "I can get in here." He says, referring to the control box on the wall. "Pass me the walking" Thomas says, making Gally throw it to him as Thomas walks down the stairs, scooping out the rest of the staircase. I look over to the sound of coughing and see Newt lift his mask over his head as he begins a small coughing fit. I look at him and see how much worse he has gotten. Its like every time I look at him, he looks so much worse. I walk up to him as I pat his back.
"Are you okay?" I ask him as I run my hand up and down his back.
"I'm fine" he says as he pushes my hand off of his back, causing me to take a small step back at his reaction, it's not like him at all. Thomas comes back up the stairs as Galky begins to saw through the control box.
"Frypan were almost in, how are you doing?" Thomas says through the walkie talkie.
"I'm getting there, tell Minho 'Hi' for me." He finishes, his voice slightly distorted from the walkie talkie but nonetheless audible.
"Hang in there buddy." Thomas says before putting the walkie talkie away.
Gally rips open the console as he starts messing with the wiring in the box. I take my mask off as it gets harder to breathe and I begin to have a coughing fit. Newt comes up to me and grabs my hand as I begin to slide down the wall, still coughing. I grip his hand tighter for support before I fully fall to the ground, my back against the wall. Newt kneels down to me as the coughing stops.
"Its spreading way faster for you than it is for me." He says, a slight smirk on his face but it quickly fades.
"Different for everyone I guess." I say before coughing one more time. I feel a hand cup my cheek, presuming its Newts as he pushes my face to the side making me face him. I smile as we look into each other's eyes. Newt rests his forehead on mine as his warm breath fills the time space.
"Y/n, I lo-" before Newt could finish his sentence he is cut off by Gally.
"This will work." He says before continuing work on the wires. Thomas grabs the walkie again, this time talking to Brenda. Newt leans away from me, making me shiver at the lack of warmth.
"What's your status?" Thomas asks Brenda through the walkie as he looks at me, giving me a concerned look. I brush him off as Newt helps me stand. I look at him one more time before slipping my mask back over my head.
What was he gonna say?
"Status is, working on it." Brenda says back through the walkie.
Before Thomas could say anything I cut him off,
"Make sure your ready when we get there Brenda, and please be safe." I say before walking away from the walkie, not needing to hear anything else.
I watch as I see Gally put some sort of contraption on the door of the console box before he closes it back up.
"Lets go." He says before sliding his mask back onto his head.
………
We wait outside a door that Teresa says she doesn't have authorization for. I'm about to give up until I see the door slides open, making us all pull our guns out as we begin shooting people left and right. As it won't kill them it will stun them long enough to let us do what we need to do. We walk in after everyone is down and I look around to see many doors lining the walls. I walk up to one and look into it to see kids, many kids. I open the door and at first there shocked, but I take my mask off and promise that im here to help. They eventually believe me and follow me out allowing me to let other kids out. I look around and see everyone else doing the same thing. After I open the doors I needed to I look and see Gally trying to find a way to open the vault, where all the bliss is. I look around and grab a handgun from the ground and run up to a guard, holding him up by the collar of his jacket, the gun pointed right at his throat.
"The vault, how do we open it?" I say, the intensity clear in my voice. "You can't…" He says weakly, I give up as I whip the guy with the back of the gun before slipping the gun into my pocket. I stand back up and look around.
"Guys, this might take a while." Gally says as he pulls out a saw and begins to saw through the door. I look around once more and notice that Minho is no where to be found. I furrow my brows at Teresa as she just looks around shocked.
"He's not here" Thomas says as he walks up to Teresa. "Where is he?" Thomas asks, looking at her intensely. I run my hand through my hair as I let out a long sigh.
