boy instead of Teresa. When they all leave the rooms the bodies are gone and in
the living room there is a man who tells them they have to walk through a tunnel
then 100 miles north and they only have five minutes the next morning to go
through a portal or bad stuff happens to the rest of the people. They all have
the flare so if it takes them to long they will go insane. And the cure is at
the end. Then it starts badly storming and people get struck by lightning. Then
when they get to town they rest in a building and decide to get some food when
there are a bunch of cranks upstairs and heard them but they are not the type
that are insane yet. Thomas asks if he can talk to one of the cranks name Jorge
who is the leader and tells him the whole story and says if you help us you can
have the cure too so he says ok but he only wants to bring 1 of his other
friends when Thomas said he could bring them all. He only wants to bring Brenda.
So they take a tunnel when there is an explosion and Thomas and Brenda get
separated from the others. So they keep walking down the tunnel when a crank who
has no nose says to them you have pretty noses and then him and 4 of his friends
chase them down a tunnel Thomas and Brenda hide in a little secret door in a
room and the cranks come in when 4 of them leave they think they are gone and
the leader pops his head through the door and grabs Thomas by the nose and tries
to rip it off and then Thomas kills him. They finally get out of the tunnel.
Then Thomas wakes up and looks out the window and sees a sign that say THOMAS
YOU’RE THE REAL LEADER. They try to leave when 3 people come and say we
are having a party I want you there and are made to go. One of them had a
gun in his hand and he said if they don’t talk he shoots them. Then they hear
people upstairs and go up and they don’t come back down instead its Thomas’s
friend Minho and unties the two. And goes upstairs finds 2 out of the 3 bad kids
tied up the other is nowhere to be found so they leave. And then the other kid
comes and shoots Thomas in the shoulder so WICKED, the ones who sent the kids
here for the experiment, had to stop the experiment for a little bit to get the
bullet out of him. So then he goes back to where he was with no pain at all.
