Hi everyone. I'm back with the second chapter of Spies and Angels Don't Match. Thank you Alexa35 for being my first reviewer.
Summary:Twins thirteen year old orphan genius witches Liza and Lily work for the CIA. When one day going home, the twins see a fourteen year old girl with wings fall from the sky. They save her life. The twins try to help her get back to her flock and defeat the school. Problem? Liza and Lily can NOT let them know that they're spies and witches. What a wonderful way to spend summer vacation.
Disclamer:Only the plot and my characters belong to me. The rest all belongs to James Patterson.
Also, sorry for the spelling and the grammar mistakes. And, did you know that there's going to be a Maximum Ride movie? It's going to be released sometime in 2010 and a trailer's going to be out in December 2009. :)

Liza's p.o.v.
On the morning after we found Max Ride, Lily and I snuck out at three in the morning. I carried a bag of food and Lily carried our bags with the spell books and everything. The bags were spelled so that any one that was human wouldn't see the spell books. Lily's way too over protective and paranoid. She keeps two knives, three daggers, and a gun inside her bag and makes me do the same. When we want someone to kill someone to make an example, we use guns. Personally, I hate using guns and I'm sure Lily does to. Guns make it too easy to kill people. Instead, we stick to knives, daggers, arrows, and that sort of stuff. Just anything but guns. We spend all our time learning how to use other weapons which is actually sort of fun.
"Toss me the food," called out Lily softly as we arrived at the tree house. We spent one year alone on the streets after our parents died. Then we built the house.
I threw the food to her and jumped up. "The girl okay?" I asked softly.
"Guess she ate the food," said Lily cheerfully, "Probably got too hungry."
"So what does avian mean anyways?" I asked her knowing that she researched the word.
"It's an adjective meaning of or pertaining to birds. It's the latin word for bird which we alredy knew. In the past there was the avian flu or bird flu. It's a virus that doesn't usually infect humans but since 1997 there has been reports of human infection," she said.
"Enough," I yelped knowing that if I let her she would start to say with the meaning and go on to what root it came from and a bunch of other weird things that we did NOT need to know.
"You're no fun," she pouted. I rolled my eyes and sat at the doorway with my legs dangling. "I drew a bunch of proof runes on the house and recasted your perimeter spell. I also dropped a barrier ball," she added. A barrier ball was something that could make a barrier around the chosen area. It's activates by voice identfication who means only Lily and I can use it.
I sat there for a two hours with my sister waiting for dawn. Seeing the sun rise is an amazing sight. It's all shades orange, red, and yellow at the same time mixing a little bit and coloring the sky. I use to sit here all the time just waiting for the sun to rise.
"Reminds me of Mom and Dad," said Lily.
"Yeah. I miss them, but I like my life as well now. I don't regret joining them. Do you?" I asked.
"No. We don't have to kill anyone. We just gather information and that's it. Remember? Serena promised us that if we ever killed a person, she would get us tossed into jail faster then someone can say boo," she answered with a laugh.
I leaned against Lily's shoulder and fell asleep. "Wow, I can't believe you two aren't going to fall off," remarked a voice.
"You're up," I said drily.
"Your sister said the same thing to me," she remarked.
"Someone's coming," whispered Lily as she pushed us in and slammed the door shut. I ran to the holes in the wall a.k.a. windows and rolled down the pieces of cloth.
"Perimeter?" I asked meaning if it was the perimeter spell that was activated.
She nodded. "I think there's six living things, but one's smaller than the a human. Probably a cat or a dog," she murmured and concentrated.
"How do you guys know?" asked Max.
"Technology," I muttered, "We need one way glass."
"After this, I'm immediatly going to talk to them for some," moaned Lily.
"Hey look, it's a tree house. Maybe we can stay there for now," said a voice that belonged to a littled girl.
"Angel," murmured Max.
"You know her?" I demanded.
"Yeah."
I poked Lily and she glared at me. She opened the door and leaned out. "May I help you?" she asked.
I felt something prod against my shield. "Mind reader," hissed Lily. Looks like she felt the same thing. Lily and I have something against mind readers after someone got into our heads and tried to convince us to do something.
"Angel?"called out Max as she stuck her head out.
"Max, you're okay!" squealed the little girl a.k.a. Angel.
"Um...actually she's not okay. Your friend can't fly and she has three broken ribs. Judging by the speed of her healing, she'll be okay in a few days," said Lily.
"So who are you all?" I asked curiously, "and who's the mind reader?"
"I am. Why can't I read your mind?" said the little girl.
"We have mind blocks. So who are you all?" I wondered out loud.
Lily and I casted a spell in Greek under our breath. The spell allowed us to see the truth. I swung myself out of the house and onto the ground. Leaning against the tree I glanced at them. "Well? Oh and by the way, don't lie. I'll know if you do."
"Why shouldn't we lie?" asked a black haired boy.
"Like I said, I'll know if you lie. My sister and I will tell you all our real names if you tell us yours, deal?" I replied.
"I'm Fang. That's Iggy, Nudge, Angel, and The Gasman. Don't ask. The dog's Total," he said while pointing out each one.
"We told Max that our name's are Selene and Serena, but actually it's Lily and Liza," I said going through with my deal.
"Sorry, Max. We were taught to never trust anyone," apologized Lily.
Just then the flying robot things came again. "Hello? We just beated the crap out of a bunch of ya yesterday so just get lost," I snapped in a very annoyed voice.
"Give us the experiments," said the leader.
"Experiments. Huh," remarked Lily. She flung herself down and smiled. "I have a few prototypes I wanna try out. Y'all might wanna move back," she warned.
Reaching into her bag she picked up what looked like a small box. She opened it and out climbed what looked like a silver ladybug. "Meet DeeDee. I just made her. She fries any machine I want her to. Wanna see?" Lily didn't wait for an answer. The bug flew to one of the things and literally fried the robot. Then it flew away and did that to all the 'bots.
"I love being me," sighed Lily cheerfully.
"Common up. You can all fly right?" I asked. I jumped up and grabbed a branch. Moving higher and higher I went in with Lily right behind me. "I beat you," I said with a grin.
"I'd punch you in the face if I thought it would do any good," she told me.
"But it won't," I replied.
"So which one of you is Liza?" asked Nudge.
"Me. I'd say that it's a pleasure to meet you but see as how since we've met Max, we've been officially attacked twice I'm not so sure," I answered.
"What are those flying robotic things?" asked Lily.
"We call them flyboys," answered Max.
"So how are you all 'experiments'?" I wondered.
"We were taken by the school, a place where they make mutants. They did horrible experiments on us, but two years ago we escaped..." said Nudge and she went on and on about the school and what happened.
I noticed Lily take out her laptop and a new notebook. "So where's the school located?" I asked and Angel answered. (a/n can someone please tell me where the school is located?)
"So now all we have to do it bury it...forever," said Lily softly.
