The Death Cure Chapter Sixteen

By James Dashner

Chapter Sixteen

The four decide to search for their other Glader friends. But after about an hour or so, they give up. They need to get to the hangar.
On their way, they hear a low-pitched moaning—never a good sign.
They creep back to the room with the moaning, and there are a bunch of guards with their mouths gagged. Hey, at least they aren't dead, like they were back in Book Two.
Brenda wants to question the guards, but Thomas thinks they should all rush to the hangar before it's too late.
The others follow Thomas's advice, and at the hangar, they find a man groaning and rubbing his head next to a wooden box. It's Jorge.
Sup, hermano.
Jorge tells everyone that the other Gladers (Teresa and such) took over the compound and suppressed the guards, then stole a Berg and flew away.
