The Maze Runner Page #6

Synopsis: Awakening in an elevator, remembering nothing of his past, Thomas emerges into a world of about thirty teenage boys, all without past memories, who have learned to survive under their own set of rules in a completely enclosed environment, subsisting on their own agriculture and supplies. With a new boy arriving every thirty days, the group has been in "The Glade" for three years, trying to find a way to escape through the Maze that surrounds their living space (patrolled by cyborg monsters named 'Grievers'). They have begun to give up hope when a comatose girl arrives with a strange note, and their world begins to change with the boys dividing into two factions: those willing to risk their lives to escape and those wanting to hang onto what they've got and survive.

Don't.

He's been stung.

We can't leave.

We did.

Gally, we're out.

We're free.

Free?

You think we're

free out there?

No.

No, there's no escape

from this place.

Gally, listen to me.

You're not

thinking straight.

You're not.

Now, we can help you.

Just put down the gun.

I belong to the maze.

Just put down

the gun.

We all do.

Thomas...

Chuck.

Oh, sh*t. Sh*t.

Look at me,

look at me!

Oh, sh*t!

Chuck,

look at me, all right?

I got you, buddy.

Just hang on.

It's okay.

Thomas, Thomas...

No, Chuck. You're gonna

give it to them yourself.

Remember,

I told you that.

Take it.

No.

Thank you.

Thank you.

No, Chuck,

you're gonna get-

Chuck.

Chuck? Hey.

Hey, Chuck, come on!

Come on, wake up!

Damn it!

We made it.

Come on.

I'm sorry!

God damn it!

Damn it!

Thomas.

Chuck!

Get up, Chuck! Come on!

Chuck!

You can't just

leave him there!

You guys all right?

Don't worry.

You're safe now.

Relax, kid.

Everything is gonna change.

I think it's safe to say the Maze

Trials were a complete success.

I wasn't expecting

so many survivors, but...

the more the merrier.

Thomas continues to

surprise and impress.

And for now, they seem

to have taken the bait.

It's too soon to say...

but they could be

the key to everything.

So let's move forward.

It's time now

to begin Phase Two.
