"Umm...Nothing. It says A3 The Runner. Kind of makes sense," I tell him nervously.

I just didn't understand.

"Okay," Thomas says and walks off.

FROM: Ava Paige

At which point we will put Phase 2 Projects in order. Our select few will receive some memories from the maze and others too. Until then.
