My brain spun trying to find a decent excuse but when the yellow emergency lights turned on and the alarm sounded. We were caught with no chance of trial.

Minho and Newt exchanged one look, but the time their eyes got back to Doctor Crawford. They both jumped her, each on either side of her, holding her arms back.

"Where is she!?" Newt yelled in the doctor's ear.

The doctor yelped, he flicked her chin, directing which way to go and the boys started pushing her along.

She told us the route, being pushed down every hall with anger from Minho and Newt overflowing. We turned a corner, meeting another enemy. Now the Doctor became a shield. We could count on the fact that even if they would shoot us, they wouldn't shoot her.

The soldier had his guns aimed and his fingers on the trigger standing at the end of the hall. "Freeze? Stay where you are!"

"Thomas." Minho handed Doctor Crawford's arm to me, as he jumped in place a little.

"What the hell are you doing?" I asked him, and he took off running.

Newt shouted after him for running straight in the line of fire but he put his whole body weight behind it, smashing the soldier into the wall. He shrunk down the wall, completely knocked out.

"Shit, Minho!" Frypan was astonished.

"Okay. Let's go. Come on. Let's go." Minho hurried on, handing me a machine gun and taking the handgun from the soldier's thigh holster. He took his place at Crawford's side again and got the final instructions as she pointed to a door.

I swiped the key card, as they forced Dr. Crawford's body in first.

Once I heard she was greeted I kicked the door open, pointing the gun where I hear the voice come from

A chubby scientist instantly put his hands up, "Wait, wait. Okay, okay."

"Where is she?!" I screamed in his face, not lowering my gun for a second. He pointed to a curtain as I handed Minho the machine gun, he took over, aiming it at all of the scientists in case they made a step out of line.

He yelled, "Get over! Get down!

Newt flipped a metal table, putting it in front of the door so no other members of WCKD could join us. I pulled back the curtain, seeing Teresa curled up under the covers. I pulled them off, shaking her awake.

"Thomas." She woke from her sleep, I sighed in relief, knowing that she still had her memories.

Newt walked to the next section, ripping back the curtain and smiling when he saw Fi, "Hey, Fi?"

He shook her awake, more forcefully than he wanted to but we were running on a tight schedule. She regained consciousness and was clearly startled by the flashing lights and chaos around her.
