After escaping the Maze, Thomas, Teresa, Frypan, Winston, Aris, Minho, Newt and Guest are taken to a mysterious facility controlled by WCKD, where they’re promised safety but soon discover sinister experiments and lies. They escape and venture into the Scorch—a desolate wasteland ravaged by solar flares and a deadly virus called the Flare. They face zombie-like Cranks, treacherous terrain, and are in search of a group of rebels known as the Right Arm. The Right Arm is a safe haven for those teenagers who have escaped WCKD and are seeking refuge. The group of teenagers escape the WCKD facility and are on their way to the Right Arm. They come across a bridge — quite a long one which seems unsafe. The bridge was a shortcut to the Right Arm. A ticket to the safe haven. Everyone BARELY crosses, Guest is the last. The bridge was already half destroyed from everyone else.

Guest takes a step forward and a piece of the wooden bridge falls down into oblivion. That was a far drop… on top of it all — she’s scared of heights. Don’t look down.. don’t look down…

Suddenly, the bridge gives up. It had taken too much with the rest of the group. It was going to break. Guest steps back quickly. She glances up when she hears her friends bickering before Thomas abruptly sprints across the breaking bridge — toward her. It breaks beneath his feet but he makes it to Guest’s side. He’d rather take the long way with her than her go by herself. How sweet…

But she’s still not Teresa… his first love.

“Hey..” he says breathlessly from sprinting and the adrenaline, as if he didn’t just risk his life and seperate from the group so Guest wouldn’t be alone.
