Max's Pov
I woke up early in the morning and checked the current status. Angel and Nudge were sleeping peacefully, Gazzy was snoring, and Iggy was feeling around the bed, muttering colors to himself. I stretched and climbed out of bed and began the tedious progress of waking everyone up. As I was planning to bring a bucket of cold water for Nudge, I heard a thud and a grunt. I suddenly realized Fang wasn't around.
I rushed out the door in the direction yelling,"Fang!" As I turned the corner I smacked into him, sending both of us sprawling.
"Sheesh, it seems a guy can't even bump his head without a girl running around screaming", he said unemotionally. Typical Fang.
Jeb and Mom came running down the stairs looking worried. "Nothing bad's happening, really" I said as they both heaved a sigh and walked away. By now the rest of the flock were up. Iggy had already finished cooking breakfast, and did I mention he's blind?
Jeb coolly looked up from the table and mentioned, "The government wasn't too happy with you running off and all, but they're offering you a job. They want you to test one of their radars, see if they can pick up you from a distance."
"How do we know they aren't going to just study us?" I asked. Being mutant bird kids with wing and all has made us very popular, in a bad way.
" I will be conducting the test myself", mom assured me.
Angel suddenly straightened and said, "Ari, he's coming." Everyone's head swiveled around in surprise. Ari had died half a year ago. That's when the window crashed open.
Short chapter, mostly as a preview, I'll be adding much more
