The Scorch Trials Chapter 24

By James Dashner

Chapter 24

At this point, the storm is in full gear. There's thunder and lightning, and the lightning is dangerous.
Oddly enough, there's no rain.
Thomas is having a pretty tough time seeing in the storm, when all the sudden a lightning bolt strikes the ground and blows him to the side.
As Thomas gets up, he notices that Jack is in a crater—completely mutilated.
Jack has nothing below his knee, and his whole body is burned and bloody. Jack's a goner.
Minho picks Thomas up, and they keep moving.
But then another lightning bolt strikes, and this time it pretty much hits Minho. Uh oh.
Turns out the lightning bolt doesn't kill Minho; it just sets him on fire.
So Minho does the whole stop-drop-and-roll technique, while Thomas throws dirt on him. Works like a charm.
Minho's pretty beaten up, but the kids keep moving. Gladers are getting tossed about right and left.
Finally, Aris reaches a building ahead, and the remaining kids enter. Phew.
