The Death Cure

Thomas sits down, and Minho asks about what Teresa said. He tells him, and Minho is annoyed that Thomas spoke to her. Jorge points out that they need to get out of there and that, until then, whose side everyone is on does not matter. Four guards come in bearing food and water. Minho notices that only one has a weapon and speculates with Thomas that he could take the guard down. When the guards reach the group and try to give Minho bread, he pushes it away.

The guard “had nearly passed them when Minho suddenly leaped to his feet and tackled the man holding the Launcher. Thomas flinched as it slipped out of the guy’s grip and discharged, sending a grenade up toward the ceiling, where it crashed in a display of lightning. The kidnapper was still on the ground when Minho started punching him, struggling to grab the man’s pistol with his free hand” (204). The whole group of prisoners works together to subdue all the guards, and Thomas tries to interrogate the guards quickly. He asks them what WICKED plans to do with them. The guards tell him that they do not work for WICKED, they work for the Right Arm.
