The Kill Order Chapter 24

By James Dashner

Chapter 24

Mark finally stops struggling when someone bops him the face.
Mark pleads with everyone, asking them what they're doing. All Mark and Alec wanted to know was what is going on.
But the woman doesn't seem too happy; she's mad that Mark asked about Deedee.
Alec then bursts into action out of nowhere. He gets away from a few people and knocks some over, but he doesn't get too far. Pretty soon he's seized again and beaten pretty badly.
Mark tries to negotiate more, saying Deedee is fine. But the people won't budge—the woman says Deedee brought evil upon them all.
Boom. Mark gets a boot to the face.
Boom, another one.
Mark and Alec get utterly pounded at this point. But then someone says stop.
The men beating Alec and Mark stop, and they step aside to reveal the man who made them stop.
It's a man who has no hair and no ears.
You know, the dude Deedee warned them about.
