Oughta join some kinda bloody biker gang, at this point. [ not that newt should even really know what that is--one of those weird pseudo-memories. maybe he was in a biker gang before he came to WICKED.

that thought is so utterly ridiculous newt's going to ignore it, and he glances down at his wrist where the 005 rests. it's the same one he has on the back of his neck, which was part of what made him think the tranquility and the maze weren't all that different. ] Departments--like jobs, huh? Think I saw people talking about that on the network.

Oh--Tommy did it. Or, well, he started it, I guess. Turns out the Maze changed every day, and we'd been making real careful maps of the thing. Every time it changed, it spelled out a letter, which ended up being-- float, catch, death, stiff, and push. After that, he and Minho--one of the other Runners--found a place in the maze where all the Grievers came from. We fought past a whole bunch of the shanks and lost a lot of people, but we jumped into the hole, and killed the maze with the passwords we found. Everyone who was left got out.

Mostly. [ except for chuck. and alby, but that's an entirely painful pandora's box that newt's not going to open up right now. ]
