Reality

Thomas didn't knew how to react to the news Jorge gave him since last time he thought Teresa supported WICKED and that she wanted to stay there. When he came back to his senses guards appeared from the door and started shooting at them, thankfully they were able to escape the WICKED facility on a hovercraft piloted by Jorge. Brenda knew that Minho, Thomas and Newt had to remove the "swipe" from their brains since WICKED could take over them. Fortunately Brenda knew a man named Hans who used to work for WICKED and he is able to remove the "swipe". So they headed to Denver. But when they got in they knew they couldn't bring Newt in with them since he is infected with the flare and he isn't immune as the others. So they left him to keep guard on the hovercraft till they come back. When they passed the security checkpoints and enter Denver they were surprised on how wrecked the city look and how people were so paranoid. Everyone was everyone so they kept distance between themselves and all of them used mask to cove their mouths. As they progressed into the city a stranger bumped into them leaving them a letter. It was from Gally the one who killed Chuck back at the maze. It said that the Right Arm needed their help and to meet him on a abandoned building somewhere. They had a long talk and it was told that the right arm fought against WICKED and that they needed them since they were in WICKED they can help them find the hidden facilities. That afternoon they met with Hans, who removed the "swipe" and helped them go to a close motel but on their way they felt as if someone was following them.


A part I particularly found very interesting was when the hovercraft save Thomas and it resulted that the hovercraft was piloted by Wicked and that Janson wanted to speak with him.
"Janson's expression was blank. 'We've been using our data to select a Final Candidate, and you're the one. We need you, Thomas, It all rests on your shoulders." 
if WICKED is revealing this to Thomas it means two things, that they are extremely close to the cure and also that they want Thomas to understand that they are not bad. But after everything they've done to Thomas I think it will be hard form them to change their image towards them. I think they need a stronger motivation for Thomas if they want him to comply with the experiment.

Another quote I believe it will come to great importance later on in the book was when Thomas was speaking with Janson about the possibility of him to go back to WICKED
"There's something I feel obligated to tell you. Mainly because I think it will influence your decision. Make you realize that you have to do what we're asking'... 'It's about your friend, Newt. I'm afraid he is in a tremendous amount of trouble."
Thomas knows that in not much time Newt will become a crank and there is nothing he can do since there is no cure. Unless he cooperates with WICKED and finishes the cure on time, he knows that they are really close and that the only need  him in order to not only save Newt's life but thousands of others. The problem is what will WICKED do to him if he goes to their facility or even what has happened to Newt, has he been discovered?



I really think that one way or another Thomas is going to end up cooperating with WICKED since now he knows how bad the world has become, how desperate people need hope, how they need a cure. But is he willing to risk his life for the sake of the others? I'm pretty sure the state of Newt will influence on Thomas's thoughts and maybe change sides. Maybe.
