On with the story!

Chapter Two: Off We Go

RMDP POV

So we brought in the angels to the holding room and chained them to some chairs to await orders to see what we should do. Since I was the one who spotted them, I was in charge of watching them. They just sat there. Unconscious. Unmoving. It was rather boring.

Two hours later, two men came in. One was the person in charge of what to do with the bird-kids, the other was from the National Zoo.

"Hey, we're giving the bird-kids to the National Zoo, in the rare species section." The first guy said as he drugged them to make sure they wouldn't wake-up during the transfer. Then they put each one in a dog crate and brought them out to a truck. As they drove away, I wondered if I would ever see them again.

Max POV

Ugghh…I blinked wearily to clear my vision as I sat up. My head hurt and I was starving. Well, getting hit with a missile and falling 500 feet would do that to ya. Wait a minute… missile…fall…OMG!!! Was the flock all right? Where are we? The School? A secret government facility? Where-"MAX! OMG WHERE ARE WE? ARE YOU ALL RIGHT? AM I ALL RIGHT? ARE WE AT THE SCHOOL!?!? No probably not 'cause then we would be in dog crates, and-" suddenly, a strange voice cut Nudge off in the middle of her rant.

"He he. You're silly. You don't get put in dog crates at school. I should know 'cause I'm six and in kindergarten." I took a good look around me. We were in a sturdy cage with bars over the top so flying out was out of the question, it was rather large, there was a table with six chairs in one corner, a huge jungle gym to climb on, an outhouse, a pool, one of those fresh water dispensers you see in fancy shmancy offices, a small heated hut for sleeping, and just outside the bars, a large crowd, gaping at us. I looked at a sign,

'BIRD-KIDS IN THE NATIONAL ZOO'

We were in the zoo. Crap.

Yea! Chapter two! Am I good or what? All right, 5 reviews and I'll update!
