In chapter 17 of the Darkest Minds, Liam and Ruby are heading inside an abandoned house when Ruby finds a letter that was scattered on the floor. It was written by the previous member of their little group. Liam, Zu, Chubs used to have another member before Ruby but he never made it out of Caledonia alive. His name was Jack and was apparently the person who was most capable of using their powers. Jack was a blue and because of this he had the ability of telekinesis or to move objects with his mind. He knew how to use his power and playing pranks on the kids or other prisoners while in Caledonia. When Liam and Chubs were making their escape plan, they told Jack and Zu to run for the entrance. The doors of the facility were open because Liam and Chubs were trying their best to open it. However, as the kids got nearer to the entrance the door closed and the PSF’s or “officers”, shot all the kids trying to escape.
Most kids were surrendering but got shot anyway. Liam and Chubs were trying their best to open the door and finally, after their 3rd attempt it opened, but at this point Zu and a few other kids were the only ones still at the door waiting for it to open. Jack was the first kid the guards shot since they knew he had a good sense of his abilities. Anyways, Ruby only got a few words out of the letter when Liam snatched it out of her hand yelling “We don’t read each other’s letters!”. That’s when Ruby realized how personal this situation was to Liam. Ruby said sorry and kept on walking. Then, in chapter 18 Lady Jane arrived at the scene unexpectedly with a couple bodyguards. It seems as though Zu and Chubs were able to take care of her company but Lady Jane got the upper hand on them.
Now it was her vs Ruby and Liam. Ruby knew what she had to do, she grabbed Lady Jane’s throat and used her mind control powers to make her leave the area and walk into the woods for an hour before turning back to normal. That is the end of chapter 18 and the start of chapter 19! After Ruby pulled of this stunt she turned unconscious but Liam and Chubs were able to get her into the “Betty” (or their van). When Ruby woke up she noticed they were talking about leaving something behind and she was immediately afraid they were going to desert her. However, in reality they were talking about the Betty and whether or not it should be destroyed. Now Lady Jane knows about the trucks and the other PSF officers do to so it would be trouble for them! The End
