231.05.04 | 11:41 p.m. Teresa opened the door before he even tapped twice. “Come in,” she whispered urgently, though her calm focus scared him. He stepped inside and she closed the door. “What’s up?” She held up a piece of paper. Thomas took it. A few words were scribbled on it in pencil: Come see me. ASAP. Dr. Paige Thomas looked up at Teresa. “Okay, now, really—what’s going on?” “That note was slipped under my door while we were outside.” She paused, breathed. “I’m pretty sure Dr. Paige knows what happened out there tonight. It has to be related to Randall somehow.” Thomas leaned back against the wall. Something was terribly wrong, he just knew it. A horrible fear was clawing its way up his chest. He felt an overwhelming uncertainty, a shifting of the world. “What do we do?” he asked. Teresa put a hand on Thomas’s shoulder. “Let’s just go find Dr. Paige. She’s the smartest person I’ve ever met. If she wants to talk to us, then we need to go.” “Okay,” Thomas said dully. “If there’s anyone we can trust, it’s her.” Teresa gave him a nod of encouragement, then opened the door and left the room. He followed her. — He knocked softly on Dr. Paige’s door. The last thing they wanted to do was wake up any of the other doctors or Psychs along the same hall. When she didn’t answer, he knocked a little harder. Finally he heard a soft voice from the other side. “Who is it?” “Thomas,” he said, a thought suddenly striking him. What if the note hadn’t actually been from her? “And Teresa. We got your message?” The door opened a crack. He’d never seen Dr. Paige so…disheveled. Her hair was down and tangled from sleep and her face was clean of makeup. She opened the door wider and nodded for them to enter. “I’m glad you came.” — Dr. Paige sat at her desk, Thomas and Teresa both on the bed, side by side, waiting for her to speak. He found himself thinking of Newt, maybe the one he liked most of all of them, not immune. There were only two futures for Newt: they found a way to treat this sickness, or one day he went insane, ending up like Randall. Dr. Paige finally spoke. And while she seemed as calm and contained as ever, her eyes said something different. Thomas saw fear in them. “I’ve been dreading this day for months, wishing we could last just a little while longer,” she said. She stood up, stood quietly for a moment, thinking, then turned to look at them. “There’s a reason I’ve fought for you and sought your help so many times,” Dr. Paige said. “You are part of this organization. You’ve grown up here, as one of us, and I know we have the same goals. I know that I can trust you to do anything to help us achieve our mission. And now I need you to trust me. Can you do that?” Thomas looked at Teresa and she looked back. He could feel what she was thinking. They both nodded. The doctor flashed them a warm smile. “Yes, I thought so,” she said. “Okay, well, we have no choice now. Once we start this, there’s absolutely no going back.” She took a second to look each of them in the eye. “So, I need to ask you both: are you ready?” Thomas stood. Teresa stood. They both nodded again. “Okay, then,” Dr. Paige said. “I’ve been suspicious for a while now that certain WICKED officers have been hiding information from us that can potentially undermine everything we’re doing here. Some of our top people haven’t even shown their faces in weeks. It’s time to initiate the protocol.” She paused before she spoke again. Took a breath. “It’s time for the Purge.”
