Artemis ~

"That's interesting." Artemis said to himself.

"What's interesting?" Butler asked.

"I am having an extremely troublesome time finding out on why there were so many airplanes."

"It probably nothing Artemis." Butler insisted.

"No butler, if it was nothing I would found out something by now. The fact that it's so hard to find something proves that there is something to hide."

Artemis's fingers flew over the keyboard. The concentration on his faces broke as he succeeded in breaking there security.

"Child's play, honestly." Artemis smirked.

"What did you find out?" Butler asked.

"It appears that they were transporting animals and all of the plans belonged to the same company."

"What's the company?"

"I'm trying to find that out."

Artemis was in the zone, he was clicking rapidly and there was a joyful look on his face as he broke the mysterious company security.

"It appears that there's a main company and it's covering up another operation."

"That's interesting just don't over work yourself." Butler warned.

"Hey mudboys." Holly said as she entered the room.

Artemis and Butler were now used to Holly stopping in ordinarily. Ever since she had stop by that day she had come in regally. Although she tried not show it to much she was really worried about him. Some days his complex were better than others still it bother holly.

"Hello holly." Artemis greeted her.

"Hi Holly." Butler said.

"What are you doing?" she asked.

"Nothing just working on a project." Artemis said standing up.

As he stood up he got a static shock. Usually that wouldn't be enough to turn him into his alter ego.

But today wasn't one of his best when it can to the Complex so Orin came out.

"Holly! Holly my love!" Orin ran to her.

"Hello Orin." Holly said in a dry voice.

"Butler! My good friend and my dear companion!" he said rushing to Butler. "What heroic feet doses Artemis need me to do! There must be a reason that he has called me."

"No Orin, actually it was an accident. I think it was static electricity." Butler said.

"Oh, I see." Orin said then threw this head back and laughed far too dramatically. "Ha Ha Ha, he is being very sensitive today. Very well I will try to get him back into his body. For it is my duty to help. You are very lucky someone besides may have to try to keep the body but not me. I know I am only here to help Artemis when he calls."

"Yes Orin we now we are very lucky. You only told us a thousand times." Holly sighted.

"We must fix this, to the lab!" Orin said then ran out the room into the lab.

Holly and Butler followed him reluctantly.

Rio~

"Any way he told us to meet him here." Rio said to Melody.

"Did he say why?" she asked.

"Nope but he is not like the others, he's like us."

"So he hasn't given in?"

"No."

The big filed was surrounded by a high concrete wall with lookout towers. There were children walking around aimlessly. Some were gathered in clumps whispering together. Others just walked around and looked at their feet. They saw the boy with the yellow hair.

"There he is." Rio said excitedly and rushed to him.

"Hello Rio." James greeted him.

"Hi James" Rio said "this is my friend Melody."

"Hi Melody it's nice to meet you." James said his face got slightly red.

Rio thought his was odd because there was really no reason for his face to get red.

"Nice to meet you too, what did you want to tell us?" Melody asked.

"I'll tell you in a minute just follow me." He told them.

They followed him to corner of the wall. There was a glitch and no could see them from the lookout towers.

"How do you feel about trying to escape?" James asked them."

"What?" Rio asked.

"I would love to, but it's impossible, right?" Melody said.

"I don't think so, I have a plan." James said.

Rio mind spun what he wanted the most in the world was to escape. Maybe Melody and he could have live in a little house on a street where other kids live too, like the T.V shows that where aloud to watch from time to time. They could have a little garden and a swing set.

"What exactly might that plan be?" Melody asked.

"Well I have been here a month now and I been thinking about escaping. I started planning and I realized that I would need two people to help. I only had two options I could ask for help from someone who would look at me blankly, who had completely lost it, or someone who would turn me in. Then I meet Rio and he seemed normal and so I talked-"

"Your plan?" Melody insisted.

"Alright sorry, first we will wait till it's night when were locked up. Then wait in your room I'll get you. Then we will run into this field here to this spot. Then we'll inch along the wall till we get to the cheek point. Then somehow we will need to get to one of the lookout towers push the button that opens the cheek point door. Then will go through, take down some guards. Then will run into the woods and will take it from there. I now it's rough but what do you say?"

Rio looked at Melody, she was thinking. He really wanted her to say they were in. He wanted nothing more than to have a normal life and he knew Melody did to.

"What if we get caught." She asked.

''I don't know but will go through it together."

Melody paused for a long time. "Okay we are in."

"Yaaaay." Rio exclaimed.

"Rio shush." Melody shushed him. "What about the security cameras and the locks."

"Ah I will take care of that. I can mess with technology with my mind and locks to. I can also make claws come out of the tips of my fingers." James said.

"That's useful." Melody said.

"What can you two do?"

"I can make claws too and I can see in the dark and I'm really good at climbing things." Rio said proudly.

Melody opened her wings, they glinted in the sun. "Well I can fly and change metal to the shape I want it to be."

James smiled "Guys we are going to get out of here!"
