It
was
a
collar
.
Thomas
watched
as
Alby
unbuttoned
the
collar
,
then
wrapped
it
around
Ben
's
neck
;
Ben
finally
looked
up
just
as
the
loop
of
leather
snapped
closed
with
a
loud
pop
.
Tears
glistened
in
his
eyes
;
dribbles
of
snot
oozed
from
his
nostrils
.
The
Gladers
looked
on
,
not
a
word
from
any
of
them
.
"
Please
,
Alby
,
"
Ben
pleaded
,
his
shaky
voice
so
pathetic
that
Thomas
could
n't
believe
it
was
the
same
guy
who
'd
tried
to
bite
his
throat
off
the
day
before
.
"
I
swear
I
was
just
sick
in
the
head
from
the
Changing
.
I
never
would
've
killed
him
--
just
lost
my
mind
for
a
second
.
Please
,
Alby
,
please
.
"
Every
word
from
the
kid
was
like
a
fist
punching
Thomas
in
the
gut
,
making
him
feel
more
guilty
and
confused
.
Alby
did
n't
respond
to
Ben
;
he
pulled
on
the
collar
to
make
sure
it
was
both
firmly
snapped
and
solidly
attached
to
the
long
pole
.
He
walked
past
Ben
and
along
the
pole
,
picking
it
up
off
the
ground
as
he
slid
its
length
through
his
palm
and
fingers
.
When
he
reached
the
end
,
he
gripped
it
tightly
and
turned
to
face
the
crowd
.
Eyes
bloodshot
,
face
wrinkled
in
anger
,
breathing
heavily
--
to
Thomas
,
he
suddenly
looked
evil
.
And
it
was
an
odd
sight
on
the
other
side
:
Ben
,
trembling
,
crying
,
a
roughly
cut
collar
of
old
leather
wrapped
around
his
pale
,
scrawny
neck
,
attached
to
a
long
pole
that
stretched
from
him
to
Alby
,
twenty
feet
away
.
The
shaft
of
aluminum
bowed
in
the
middle
,
but
only
a
little
.
Even
from
where
Thomas
was
standing
,
it
looked
surprisingly
strong
.
Alby
spoke
in
a
loud
,
almost
ceremonious
voice
,
looking
at
no
one
and
everyone
at
the
same
time
.
"
Ben
of
the
Builders
,
you
've
been
sentenced
to
Banishment
for
the
attempted
murder
of
Thomas
the
Newbie
.
The
Keepers
have
spoken
,
and
their
word
ai
n't
changing
.
And
you
ai
n't
coming
back
.
Ever
.
"
A
long
pause
.
"
Keepers
,
take
your
place
on
the
Banishment
Pole
.
"
Thomas
hated
that
his
link
to
Ben
was
being
made
public
--
hated
the
responsibility
he
felt
.
Being
the
center
of
attention
again
could
only
bring
more
suspicion
about
him
.
His
guilt
transformed
into
anger
and
blame
.
More
than
anything
,
he
just
wanted
Ben
gone
,
wanted
it
all
to
be
over
.
One
by
one
,
boys
were
stepping
out
of
the
crowd
and
walking
over
to
the
long
pole
;
they
grabbed
it
with
both
hands
,
gripped
it
as
if
readying
for
a
tug-of-war
match
.
Newt
was
one
of
them
,
as
was
Minho
,
confirming
Thomas
's
guess
that
he
was
the
Keeper
of
the
Runners
.
Winston
the
Butcher
also
took
up
a
position
.
