Chapter 3
Two weeks later...
Max was delighted with the progress the flock was making, Fang was getting close to a girl who's father worked for Itex and wrangling all sorts of information out of her, but some annoying boy called Harry was bitching with Fang about her and upsetting the mission.
Fang had had a good day, he had managed to get Noa to give him the blueprints to her dad's building, but there was something else about Harry that just wasn't right, but it was probably nothing. Then he just got slammed against the lockers. It was Harry. And he looked angry.
"Why are you getting it on with my bitch, you dickhead!" screamed Harry. Fang was confused.
"What are you talking about?" Fang asked. Then Harry gave him a punch to the gut. Now, Fang had built up a resistance to gut punches but Harry's just seemed supernatural. Fang was taken aback, but was immediately on the offensive with a round house kick, and punched Harry's nose, and before the two boys were on the floor scrabbling around. Luckily, a teacher noticed them and broke them up, then gave each a lecture about fighting, told Harry to get some ice for his nose and told Fang to get to his lesson. But just before he got ready to go, Harry said a worrying sentence ( Fang's identity for this mission was Joel Clarkson): " See you later, Fang...
Fang had puzzled over Harry's statement for the rest of the day, but his answer was coming. At the end of lessons, Fang casually ambled slowly half listening to his ipod, half talking to Noa, when Harry approached him and asked to talk with him. He told Noa to go ahead, so he and Harry could talk like civilised people. As soon as Noa was out of earshot, he took him into the locker room. Fang started the conversation.
"Look, Harry. I'm really sorry I broke your nose, can we forget about it?" Fang asked.
"Yeah, I wanted to show you something but I think it wouldn't be allowed in school, so I'll just show you now" Replied Harry
"OK, show me it, you know I'm not a grass"
"Well, you asked for it"
And then his face seemed to melt into something wolfish.
"Oh, fuck" were the two words Fang could muster.
Harry was Ari.
