The Scorch Trails But Without Death (Survive #24)

Chapter 17

THOMAS POV: 

We ran inside the building. Minho was laid on the ground. 

"MINHO" I yelled. 

A few people gentle shaked Minho. He groaned and I was relieved. 

"The shuck happened" asked Minho. 

"You were struck by lightning" said a boy. 

"Ugh" said Minho. 

I laughed a little. 

"Come on, get up" I said. 

We helped Minho up and looked around. 

"BEHIND YOU" a boy yelled. 

I turned and screamed as a crank ran up to me. I jumped back and noticed the crank was chained up. More came into view. They were all chained up. 

"What the fuck" asked a girl. 

"I see you met our guard dogs" said voice. 

We looked and saw a girl standing in the door way. She walked up to us. She caught eyes with Daron. 

"You look like shit Daron" said the girl. 

"Do you two know each other" asked Alby. 

"Depends on how you see it I guess" said Daron. 

"Come on, Jorge wants to see you all" said the girl. 

She looked at us. 

"Unless you want to stay here with them" said the girl. 

"No thank you" said a girl. 

"Okay but Daron you are going back in the cot after all that running" said a medjack. 

"Ya I know" said Daron. 

He climbed in the cot. We followed Brenda and stayed clear of the cranks. Two people carried Daron. 

"Who is Jorge" I asked. 

"You'll see. You just got him a little curious. and me two" said the girl. 

The men here started to follow us. We made it to the stairs. 

"Okay how are we going to do this" asked one of the people carrying Daron. 

"I got him" said Winston. 

He picked Daron up and Zart helped. They carried Daron while the other two carried the cot up the stairs. 

"Is anyone else getting a bad feeling about this place" asked Newt. 

"I hope they don't eat me" said Bobby. 

The men laughed a little. 

"Let's just hear them out. Daron said someone here can help us" I said. 

We made it to the top of the stairs. 

"Put the cot on the ground" said Zart. 

The two people placed it on the ground. Zart and Winston placed Daron on the cot. We walked some more and made it to a man listening to the radio. 

"They're here Jorge" said the girl. 

The man turned the radio off and stood up. He turned to us. He locked eyes with Daron. 

"It's about time we meet face to face Daron" said Jorge. 

"How do you know each other" asked Newt. 

"A few days ago that drone dropped a phone on this table" said Jorge. 

He picked up the phone. It looked exactly like Daron's. 

"What is with the drone" asked Teresa. 

"It's my father. He just wants to make sure I'm okay" said Daron.

"Anyway, your friend told me who he is and that he can take me and a person of my choice to the right arm" said Jorge. 

"Wait he is the one you were texting? He is like 50" said a girl. 

Jorge was a little surprised. 

"NO, OF COURSE IT'S NOT HIM. I have been texted a friend of mine. He is at the last city healing after his injury" said Daron. 

"Wait do you plan to come with us to the right arm" asked Newt. 

"Sorry hermano, I don't believe in ghost stories. The right arm doesn't exit but waste your time if you wish. However do I really look that old" asked Jorge. 

"Sorry" said the girl. 

"I have two questions for you. Where did you come from? And how can I profit" asked Jorge. 

"That's our business. Daron might trust you but I don't" said Minho. 

"I see, check him" said Jorge pointing at me. 

"What" I asked.
