The bus quickly drives through cities. In one city, more sickly people try to rush the bus but it doesn’t stop.
Thomas attempts to get answers from a lady in the bus that sits nearby. He’s happy to her some sense of compassion in her voice. She doesn’t seem to want to get too into it since it will take a while explaining things. Teresa pleads for answers.
The woman begins talking. She says that she isn’t sure if their memories will come back and they don’t know how to bring them back.
Then, she goes into details on how everything started. The sun began sending enormous flares towards the Earth. It destroyed satellites at first, but then the flares began destroying land and people. To make it worst, an unimaginable illness, the Flare, began in South American and then began to spread. There’s a treatment that the rich can afford, but no true cure. There’s a rumored cure for the Flare in the Andes, but that’s not been confirmed.
The Gladers were orphans that were especially chosen to be tested and monitored through trials. It was Wicked’s hope that the orphans could be weeded out, and then used to find a cure for the Flare.
The Flare is terrible. It’s a brain disease that causes animal-like instincts in people. It’s almost like it turns them into animalistic zombies.
She explains that the people who rescued them are intent on preventing Wicked from continuing these tests on kids.
As the bus pushes forward, Teresa dozes off, but Thomas can’t get any sleep. Beyond everything that’s happened, his mind is stuck on Chuck.
After two hours on the road, they reach their destination. It’s a building with a dorm filled with bunk beds inside. The place has color, something they’re not accustomed to, as well as people who will help look after them. The staff even seems kind and friendly. Minho loves it and Thomas feels safe, finally.
They happily eat dinner later. They get to eat pizza! The group is overjoyed
