That night Thomas is overwhelmed with guilt and grief for Ben. He knows he shouldn’t feel this pity for the kid that almost killed him, but he does.
The next day rolls around and Newt comes by to take him to the Gardens. Today, he’s going to try his luck as a gardener or a “Track-hoe.”
In the distance, the two watch as Minho walks to the now open East Doors to grab a piece of the pole that was unlatched when the doors closed. Newt openly tells Thomas how it unnerves him that the Grievers leave this little piece of the pole there every time they banish somebody.
Thomas speaks before he thinks and asks Newt about the Runners. Newt says it’s only the best boys who become them. Newt, himself, was a Runner one time until he was injured when running from the Grievers. He finds himself lucky to have avoided the Changing, like what Ben went through.
Newt goes into further detail about the Runners. They have to not only be fast, but they also must be smart and know how to handle stress well. Sometimes the Grievers come out even before nightfall.
Next, Newt makes it very clear that Thomas should put his dreams of becoming a Runner on pause now. Other people won’t be too fond of Thomas if he thinks he can just go straight to being a Runner; he is sounding a little arrogant. Newt also makes it clear that their sense of order is what keeps everything running so smoothly in the Glade.
The two make their way to get some food. Thomas sees Frypan, the cook, from afar. He doesn’t look like the most sanitary guy.
As they eat, they learn that Minho and Alby are entering the Maze today with the hope of retrieving the dead Griever.
