But he realizes that it is too late for him. Michael tells them that they need to find a cure, to help people like him, Cranks. He has caught the Flare, too, but has enough sanity left to talk to them. When they go back, John Michael approaches them, holding a sign which said: "WICKED is good". In the Crank pits, they experience numerous Cranks past the Gone, separated from them only by a fence. They get caught by Randall Spilker, who has them taken to the Crank pits, except for Newt, who is not immune. One night, Minho, along with Newt and Alby, take Thomas and Teresa outside. After some time, the three of them decide to get to know the elites, Thomas and Teresa, better, and ultimately become friends with them. Later, he becomes close friends with Newt and Alby, sneaking out of their sleeping barracks at night regularly. Minho yells a warning to a stunned Thomas before the nurses can sedate him. It is the brain surgery day when the subjects get their implants. In The Fever Code, Minho is introduced as a ten-year-old boy fighting some nurses.
