The night sky was still up and out in the Scorch, time having gone by since the group had been running from the lightning and Y/n had been struck by the lightning, getting knocked unconscious by the impact of the lightning. The building was large, the lights still being seen on from the outside as the flashing of lightning seemed to have came to a stop after some time passed for the many people out in the hot, sandy and abandoned city. It was dark all around the building, other than the campfires the people inside the structure had made for the continuous nighttime in their daily lives.

After being scanned by the girl that had led them through the building, the group of teenagers currently found themselves hung upside down above a large hole, rope wrapped around their ankles as their hair and arms dangled down. It had been a little while since they were brought up above the large hole, and no one or Jorge had came to speak to them and asked about the destination Thomas had announced. They had hoped, after Thomas insisted that they should just hear what he had to say, that Jorge would possibly know where the Right Arm was or at least help them.

"Good plan, Thomas. 'Just hear what the man has to say'." Minho reminds to break the silence, sarcasm laced in his tone. "Really working out for us."

Thomas scoffs. "Shut up, Minho."

Hoping that he could possibly reach the rope that was wrapped around their ankles, the brunette leans up to grab the rope. Unfortunately for them, he was unsuccessful as he dropped back down with a frustrated sigh. While he did that, Jorge was stepping into the room with a slight smug expression on his face as he looked between the group.

"Enjoying the view?" Jorge calls out, catching their attention.

Y/n narrows her eyes on him. "What the hell do you want?"

"That is the question. My men want to sell you back to WICKED. Life has taught them to think small. I'm not like that. Something tells me that you're not either." Jorge comments.

"Is the blood rushing to my head or is this shank not making any sense?" Minho asks.

Jorge glances between them before stopping his gaze on Thomas. "Tell me what you know about the Right Arm."

"I thought you said they were ghosts." Newt recalls.

"I happen to believe in ghosts. Especially when I hear them chattering on the airwaves." Jorge replies as he walks over to a lever, placing his hand on it. "You tell me what you know, and maybe we can make a deal."

Thomas shrugs. "We don't know much."

This clearly didn't sit right with Jorge as he stares down the boy while pushing the lever down. This causes the group to drop a foot, closer down the bottom of the hole they were hanging above. Shouts escaped past their mouths as Thomas raised his hands in surrender, giving in throughout his yells.

"Okay! They're hiding in the mountains. And they attacked WICKED. They got out a bunch of kids. That's it. That's all we know." Thomas informs.

There was a silence as Jorge stared at him, taking a step forward as he opens his mouth. Before he could say anything, a voice called out the man's name. The teenagers look over, watching as a bigger man with a bald head and facial hair walks in, taking a glance at them before looking to his friend.

"What's going on?" The man questions, placing his hands on his hips.

"Me and my new friends were just getting acquainted. We're done now." Jorge tells him, glancing down at Thomas.

"Hey, wait." Thomas calls to him before he could leave. "You're not gonna help us?"

"Don't worry, hermano. We'll get you back to where you belong." Jorge states, walking off. "Hang tight."

And with that, he leaves the room, leaving the group and the man to watch him leave. There was a moment as the man stared at them before he left as well, leaving the teenagers to think of a way of escape. Luckily, as time passed, the group had came up with a plan that they could only hope would work if they kept trying. Considering he was the closest to Teresa, Thomas had pushed the girl towards Minho, who was on an angle at the lever Jorge had pushed earlier. The Asian boy placed his hands on Teresa's waist, gripping it tightly but not enough to hurt her as he gave her a push towards the lever.

Teresa clenched her jaw as she reached out towards the railing, feeling her fingers graze it just as she moved backwards, causing the rest of them to let out groans of frustration. Minho was able to grab ahold of her again, pushing her towards it but she didn't get as close as she did the last time. Counting down from three, Minho gave her a rough push, quiet cheers escaping them when Teresa was able to grab ahold of the bar, gripping it tightly beneath her fingers. She turned herself over with a grunt, grabbing ahold of the lever and pulling it down that had them all dropping another foot while Teresa stayed in the same spot.

She sat herself down on the ledge, her legs up and she began untying the rope from around the bottom half of her legs. Once they were untied and she was able to stand up, she grabbed ahold of a pole and held it out towards her sister. Y/n was quick to grip it, letting Teresa pull her towards the edge as she helped Y/n untie the ropes. Once both girls were free, Y/n found herself helping Thomas up while Teresa was helping Newt. While they were doing so, a loud whirring coming from a helicopter had their attention, looking towards the window when a bright light shined right through.

They knew what that was, and that only made them more frantic and move quicker.

"Good evening!" Janson's voice echoes from outside. "This is the World Catastrophe Killzone Department. We have your compound completely surrounded. You find yourselves, through no fault of your own in possession of WICKED property. Return them to us unarmed and we'll consider this a simple misunderstanding. Or you can resist, and every last one of you will die. It won't be long before the Flare wipes out the rest of us. The hope of a cure lies in your hands. The choice is yours."

As he had been speaking, the members of the group, one by one, were free from the their upside down positions. Once they were all standing up, Y/n felt Thomas grab her hand as they rushed to the door all together. However, they all came to a stop at the sight of the same bald man standing there, aiming a gun right at them with a smug smirk etched on his face, continuing to step closer to them.

Thomas raises his hands. "We're not trying to cause any trouble, okay? We gotta get out of here."

"Is that so?" The man asks, bringing a walkie towards his mouth. "Janson, I got them for ya. I'm bringing them down. Don't shoot us. Come on. Let's go."

When none of them moved, he repeated his words just as Thomas lunged forward and grabbed ahold of the gun, causing the trigger to be pulled while the bullet shot at the ceiling. The males grunts could be heard while they both held the gun before Thomas head-butted the man, sending him stumbling back. Y/n quickly pulled her boyfriend back, the others doing the same when he went to lunge but the man aimed his gun at him. Just as he was about to pull the trigger, a loud gunshot echoed throughout the room that had them all flinching in fear, wondering if the man had shot Thomas.

Y/n looks down towards Thomas chest, memories of Chuck playing through her mind, fear coursing through her. When she didn't see any blood seeping through his shirt, she placed her hand on his chest, feeling him place his hand on top of hers as they all looked towards the man. They watched as he collapsed to the ground, revealing the girl from before standing there, gun aimed to show that she had shot him. Dropping her arm with a frantic expression on her face, she quickly ushered for them to follow her as she began to move towards the doors, all while they stared at her with wide eyes.

Seeing they weren't following, she shouted for them to follow once again, and this time, they did follow with Y/n stepping forward first, Teresa being the last of them all. As they followed behind the girl, music began playing throughout the building as they met up with Jorge, Y/n hearing him call the girl Brenda, making it known that was her name. Jorge ushered them to follow, pushing some doors open to reveal a building on the other side with a zipline-like structure that moved down towards the other opening on the side of the other building.

Frypan's eyes widen. "Oh, you gotta be kidding me."

"Plan B, hermano. You kids wanna get to the Right Arm? I'll lead you to them. But you're gonna owe me." Jorge tells them, grabbing a piece of cloth hanging along the line. "Follow me!"

They watched with wide eyes as he jumped off the side of the building they were on, gripping the cloth as he ziplined down towards the opening of the other building. Brenda was quick to grab the other cloths, handing them to the others. Minho grabbed one, quickly following with all the others behind him. Y/n grabs one and hands it to her sister, ushering her to go just as she notices Brenda running off somewhere else, calling out to her but the short haired girl didn't answer. Seeing Teresa staring at her, she assured her older sister she'd be right behind her before Teresa was hesitantly jumping off the building.

The younger sister looked to Thomas, seeing he was just about to grab one before she chased after Brenda. Noticing this, Thomas found himself releasing the cloth as he followed right after her, calling out to his girlfriend while she called out to Brenda. When they both reached her, she was rummaging through a drawer as they ushered for her to hurry up, getting the thing she needed. Just when they turned back in the direction they had ran from, they stopped at the sight of WICKED guards walking up to the level they were on. They wouldn't have enough time to go back to the window and zipline the rest of the way down to the others.

Brenda seemed to notice this as she grabbed her gun, shooting right at the guards, pushing the couple in the opposite direction they were supposed to go from as the guards started shooting back. The three quickly dodged the shots from the WICKED guards, running by a window with Brenda leading the way. Thomas pushed Y/n to run in front of him with him at the very back. Once they stopped at the bottom of the stairs they were running down, Brenda took notice of some guards running their way from the front, knowing others were behind them.

She turned to their right side, stepping on a pipe and ushering the two to follow. Without hesitation, Y/n did just that as her hand released from Thomas, arms spread out to keep balance as she tried to be as fast as possible. The guards were running around, one following after them on the pipe. Hearing a cocking of a gun behind her, Y/n stops to look over her shoulder, seeing Thomas did the same as they noticed a guard was just close to them.

"Brenda, where are we going?" Y/n yells out in question to the girl.

"Hurry! The song's almost over!" Brenda calls back, climbing over a railing.

Shouting for Thomas to follow, she was moving towards the railing just as loud and echoing explosions could be heard from behind her, making her stumble forward while she grabbed the railing. This had both her and Thomas stopping as he had stopped right behind her, both looking behind them in shock. Brenda's voice yells out for them when everything started collapsing from behind them, Y/n jumping over the railing with Thomas right behind her, grabbing her hand. The three teenagers stumbled in their spots before running in the opposite direction of the collapsing building.

The guard that had been following behind them fell down once everything fell on him. Seeing an elevator shaft in front of them, all three jumped into it as they grabbed the ropes that had been dangling from inside and sliding quickly down towards the bottom. All of them fell on their butts when they reached the bottom, hearing a loud noise above them that had them looking up to see things falling down the shaft. They were quick to get up to their feet, jumping out of the elevator shaft and collapsing to the ground, leaving them in a darkness.
