The Scorch Trials Chapter 4

By James Dashner

Chapter 4

Kids are throwing up left and right, and Thomas is yelling Teresa! in his head. Ah, the joys of youth.
Thomas shouts to everyone that they need to find Teresa, and Minho agrees.
The kids find a door that's locked, and Thomas notices there's a sheet of paper slipped into a thin slot hanging from the door. It says "Teresa Agnes. Group A, Subject A1. The Betrayer" (4.15).
Uh oh.
Oddly enough, Thomas is fixated on the fact that Teresa's last name is Agnes, not the fact that she's The Betrayer.
Atta boy.
Anyway, the kids all march into the room and find it empty, except there's a swirling noise coming from the bathroom. Thank God—Teresa was just going to the bathroom and wanted privacy.
The boys decide to hold a gathering in the room, but just then someone walks out of the bathroom. And it's not Teresa.
It's a boy.
The boys quickly grill the kid to figure out who he is, but the kid thinks they're joking. They're not.
Finally, the boy from the bathroom gives in and tells them his name is Aris. He says that he has no idea what they're all talking about.
Then Aris tells the kids that he escaped from the Maze.
