The Maze Runner Rat Man Quotes

Thomas has been running around ragged during the first two books of The Maze Runner series: first he had to escape the Maze with his Glader friends in Book One; then, in Book Two, he had to endure the Scorch Trials, a deadly trek through a hot, barren wasteland. Talk about having a bad few weeks.

Well, at the end of Book Two, we left Thomas in a white room, alone. He just completed the Scorch Trials, and word has it that he has the Flare, so WICKED has him quarantined. Ah, what a life it is.

We pick up where we left off: Thomas is in that same white room. He has to stay in isolation for 26 days before they finally open the door. We'll give it to you straight: Thomas ain't so happy with WICKED. Yeah, well, happy or not, they let him out, and

Most people are pumped about this, but Thomas, Minho, and Newt aren't buying anything WICKED says. Plus, Rat Man also lets everyone know who is immune to the Flare and who isn't. Most people are immune, but Newt isn't, which is a total bummer. He's got the Flare.

Just as they're about to leave, Grievers start coming to life. Thomas kills all of them but one, and the last one slices a few people to pieces. Luckily, Thomas is able to kill that one, too—right before it slices through him. Our heroes exit the Maze, and they rush towards the Flat Trans. It's soooooo close.
