Minho had grabbed a woman who burst through after the first man, and Brenda shot one in the legs. One more walked through and you knocked his weapon away as Newt punched him in the face and shot him in the chest.
You spotted something from the corner of your eye
    "Is that a beetle blade?" You ask. Those things always creeped you out
    "We gotta get out of here" Newt said
Minho had his weapon pointed at the woman
   "How many of you are there?" Thomas asked her. "Are there more coming?"
She didn't respond at first, but Minho leaned forward until his gun was actually touching her cheek.
  "There're at least fifty on duty," she said quickly.
   "Then where are they?" Minho asked.
  "I don't know."
  "Don't lie to me!" Minho shouted.
  "We ... Something else is going on. I don't know what. I swear."
You saw more than just fear in her expression. Was it frustration? She seemed to be telling the truth. "Something else? Like what?"
    She shook her head. "I just know that a group of us were called to a different section, that's all."
   "And you have no idea why?" You thought she was telling the truth, but you couldn't let her know that. "I have a hard time believing that."
   "I swear it."
Minho grabbed her by the back of the shirt and pulled her to her feet. "We'll just take the nice lady here as a hostage, then. Let's go."
   "Let Brenda go first, she knows her way around. Newt can you take the rear?" You said he nodded and Brenda laughed a bit
  "What?"
  "You act just like your boyfriend don't you?" She said
  "Nah, I'm a little less egotistical"(is that the word?) you smirked as your boyfriend protested
  "Ok let's go" Thomas said
The sprinted down the hallway and as they neared the doors Thomas pulled Rat Mans key card out of his pocket.
   "I wouldn't do that! The woman yelled "I bet there are twenty guns waiting for you on the other side" she sounded as if she was just stalling. You gave her a skeptical look and gestured for Thomas to go ahead.
They all got into a fighting position, ready for whatever came through the door.
   "Start shooting as soon as the doors crack" Minho said
  "Got it"
They fired rapidly as an alarm went off, and the lights shut down. The guard woman ran off and Minho cursed
  "My bad"
There was no sign of people on the other side and Brenda spoke over the alarm
  "Do you know anything that'll help us! Where is everyone, why the alarm!" It was directed to Thomas.
  "I bet this is another bloody test! We're still being analyzed!" Newt shouted and you placed a calming hand on his shoulder.
The alarm stopped and you were a little confused
  "They probably got sick of their ears bleeding from the noise" Minho stated
  "What's next Tommy?" We can't stay here all day" you looked to Thomas for an answer, not knowing anything about this place.
   "Brenda we really need your help. We need to get to the hangar and find Jorge, do you know where we can stock up on weapons?"
  "Weapons deport is on the way to the hangar, it's probably guarded though."
   "We've seen worse" Minho said plainly
  "It's this way"
She led you down the hallway, and Minho has tried to shoot at a Beatle blade but instead almost hit Newt.
   "Carful Min! We have enough to worry about without you shooting Newt" he looked at Newt apologetically and kept walking.
You didn't notice their conversation as you walked into the storage room, but what you did hear surprised you.
   "Can't you figure something out for yourself you bloody shank!" Looking over your shoulder you see an angry Newt and a shocked Minho.
  "Whoa, what's wrong Newt?" Thomas asked
   "I'll tell ya what's wrong. You lead us around like chickens looking for feed with out a bloody plan and Minho can't take one step without asking which foot to use!" The angry Brit exclaimed
  "Look shuck face, your the one acting like a genius because you found out some guards took weapons from the weapons room." Minho retorted
  "I'm sorry" Newt said, walking from the room.
  "What was that?" Minho asked
  "I'll go after him" you said, patting him on the shoulder
You walked into the hallway, finding Newt sitting with his back against the wall.
  "Hey" you said quietly, sliding down next to him.
   "I'm sorry" he said again
  "You have nothing to be sorry for, we don't know what your going through"
  "It's horrible. My mind just fells so clouded and I fell like I'm gonna bloody snap at the smallest thing" he sighed
You leaned your head on his shoulder and sighed with him.
  "I need you to do something for me" he said, reaching into his pocket and reaching for an envelope addressed to you.
  "Take this and don't open it until the times right" he said, handing it to you.
  "Why?"
  "Just, please" he said
  "Ok" you whispered "when will I-"
  "You'll know" he cut you off and stood up
  "We should get back" he pulled you up and before he could start walking, you hugged him
   "I'm here for you Newt, I'm not going anywhere" you told him and he wrapped his arms around you.
"I know"

Walking back into the room you walked right into the conversation.
"I hate to say it but you might be right. Someone came in here and took a bunch of weapons" Brenda stated
  "If that's it , our problems are a whole lot worse than what we thought" Newt said from beside you
  "Glad to see the guy not immune to the flare isn't the only one with a working brain" your boyfriend said
  You mentally face palmed at him
"Next time just explain yourself instead of getting snippy. Didn't think you'd lose it so fast but I'm glad your back. We might need a crank to sniff out the other cranks"
   "Minho!" You gasped, shocked he would say that
  Newt had a mix of emotions on his face. Anger, frustration and a little bit of hurt.
  "You always have to have the last bloody word don't you?"
  "Shut your shuck face"
Newt walked calmly over to him, and then quickly punched him in the face.
The fight happened so fast you didn't know what to do. Thomas tried prying then apart but it didn't work.
  "Stop it! Just shucking stop it!" You screamed, bringing the room to a halt. Tears of frustration ran down your cheeks "this is not the shucking time for this!"
Brenda and Thomas got the two apart and Thomas restrained Minho
  "How stupid could you get!"
   "He started it!" Minho exclaimed
  "Are you eight!" Brenda said
"It's my fault, everything's just ticken me off. You guys decide what we need to do, I need a buggin break" he walked out again and you started after him
  "No I got him this time (y/n)" Thomas said, gesturing discreetly to Minho. You got the message. He needs you right now.
  "Can you three get some more launchers and amo?"
  "Got it" Brenda said
After Thomas left Minho turned to you.
   "Go ahead, yell at me. I know I'm a shuck face" he sighed
  "I'm not goona yell at you, but you need to watch what you say around him. You know that he's going through something we can't imagine" you explain
  "I know"
You turn so he's facing you completely and see his cheeks a little swollen
  "Ouch, he got yah good"
   "Ha ha ha"
You giggled a bit and collected some amo.
You felt, for the second time, that it would all be better in the glade. Ignorant to the flare, still sitting and eating frypans cooking and, somewhat, safe. You sighed and grabbed a launcher, waiting for Thomas and Newt to return
 
 
Now before you yell at me, I'm sorry. I've so much to do with school and band every Friday, and the pumpkins at my house are finished and we're washing them... Just everything. This book will continue no matter how long it takes :)
