The Scorch Trials Chapter 61

By James Dashner

Chapter 61

Want more action? Well, it's coming right at ya.
All of the Gladers scramble toward the Berg.
Minho, Newt, and a few other Gladers, including Harriet and a few Group B girls, join the charge to the Berg.
Right before the kids reach the Berg, more monsters step in their way.
The Gladers all go Rambo on the monsters and defeat them pretty quickly.
Just as the Berg starts to elevate, a few kids jump on; then Thomas and Teresa grab on.
Minho, Harriet, and Newt help a girl on, too.
Phew, our heroes are all making it.
Thomas and Teresa even help Brenda on, with a little help from Jorge.
But just as the kids start to feel a little safer, a man with short red hair points a pistol at Brenda, asking who she and Jorge are.
The man then tells Thomas that he can save either Brenda or Jorge but not both; Thomas has to choose one person, or they will both die.
Since this is a pretty odd ultimatum, Thomas bravely points at Brenda and tells the man to kill her. He thinks that by choosing Brenda, the man might kill Jorge instead—you know, reverse psychology.
Anyway, the man starts to take Brenda away. Ruh roh.
