We were thrown into our room with the door slammed behind us.

     "What the hell was that about?" Minho asked.

"You didn't really think they were just gonna let you through?" Newt wondered.

"Nah, of course I didn't." He pulled out a key card that he got off the man.

"Oh." The boys all said.

"I'm gonna find out what's on the other side of that door." Thomas said.

"Right." Newt spoke.

"Newt, they're hiding something. Okay? These people are not who they say they are." Thomas told Newt.

"No, Thomas, you don't know that! The only thing that we do know is they helped rescue us from WICKED. They gave us new clothes. They gave us food. They gave us a proper bed. Some of us haven't had that in a long time." Newt raised his voice for the first bit.

"Yeah, but..." Thomas started.

"Some of us a lot longer than others." Newt interrupted.

"Tom, I don't trust these people either but at the moment they're treating better than what we had in the Glade. Why can't we just enjoy it for a bit?" I ask him.
There was a loud bang a vent cover slid out from under Thomas's bunk.
The boy, Aris crawled out.

"Hey, Thomas." Aris smiled.

"What the...?" Frypan looked at Aris.

"You got it, didn't you?" Aris asked.

"Yeah. Yeah. Let's go." Thomas said. "All right, look, maybe you guys are right. Maybe I'm just being paranoid. But I got to find out for sure. Just cover for me. I'll be back as soon as I can." Thomas slid under his bed, entering the vent.

"Wonderful." I groan.

We sat around waiting for Thomas to return when I spot something on Newt's neck. I don't remember seeing anything there before.

    "What's that?" I ask Newt looks at me confused. "Turn around."

He listed and sat down beside me. I push his head down gently to get a better look.
Written on his neck in black block letters.

'Property of WICKED. Group A, Subject A 5. The Glue.'

I brushed my finger over his sink, it was a tattoo. But Newt hadn't had it before I would have seen it was new.

"(Y/n), what is it?" Newt asked.

"You have a tattoo." I take my hands off.

"What?" Newt questioned feeling his neck. The other boys came over to look.

"She's right." Minho said.

"It says, Property of WICKED. Group A, Subject A5. The Glue." I read.

"Minho, you have one two, man." Frypan noticed.
