Chapter 4
Jessi pov
There were so many questions swirling around in my head as we were heading back to base. Why did we have to leave so early? What did Abi see? Who were those people flying? How can they fly without hoverboards? Were they the avian experiments were heard about so much? Oh, well, Numbers, well Abi, will tell me later. We were flying over the base when I was brought back from my daydreams of Ramiz, but strangely Abi wasn't landing.
"Abi, um we're flying over the base in Washington D.C., I think we should land now," I told her. She wasn't even paying attention to me that was a first in a long time. "Abi," I said, she still wasn't paying attention to me. I flew near her and yelled in her ear, "Earth to Abi, we need to land." She jumped, startled by my presence. I knew something was wrong with my friend. "Abi what's wrong, we flew for three hours and you've been worried about something and you haven't told me why we left before checking out suspect 6 so what is wrong with you?" I yelled at her. Abi was paying attention to me know so I calmed down a little bit. "Jessi, we need to find Chaney and Mel so I can discuss it with all of you guys okay," she said quietly to me, "Both of them are at this base so let's go find them." I looked at her seeing that she was overcome by something. We found Chaney and Melaney taking a break sipping Starbucks Coffee.
"Hey guys, how did suspect 6 go," Chaney asked us.
I responded, "We didn't check him out yet because we had to leave early for some random reason and Abi hasn't told me yet so now she's going to tell us when we're all here which we are now so tell us!" I said with interest in my voice.
"Okay guys, this is going to sound really random to you, but remember how I was pregnant when I was 16 years old and gave birth to a boy," Abi told us. "Yeah," we all said.
"And that I made a device so I could hear his thought when he was at least a twenty mile radius from me," Abi continued on.
"Get to the point already, Numbers," Melaney said.
"Well when Jessi and I were back at the forest clearing and saw those people coming in the distance, my device worked for the first time and I could hear a 14 year old boy's thoughts," Abi continued quietly.
"Wait, so you're son is alive?" all three of us yelled at the same time.
"Yeah but that's not all, remember that Parker is a whitecoat ever since he was 16 and he took my son away, before he took him away, my son, well his real name is Nick, had wings born with him," Abi finished her statement.
"Wait so basically we're helping your son and you saw him back at the lake and you didn't even tell him, why?" I asked her.
"It's not the time to tell him, I know when we have to tell him and Jessi that's not all," Abi started to look worried at me.
"What do you mean that's not all, what is there more to tell?" I asked her inquiringly.
"Before I get to my breaking news, there are 6 bird kids with one dog/bird animal. My son calls himself Fang, another Iggy, another Max, and the 2 youngest ones and the dog I don't know their name yet, and Nudge," Abi continued on. "They have fought the School and Itex thousands of times there are experiments that are forced to work for the whitecoats called Erasers and Flyboys. Those experiments have nearly killed them several of times," Abi suddenly stopped.
"Abi go on," Chaney said.
"Well we're on the exact same side and there's something even more important to Jessi in this case right here," Abi started to grin. "Okay, Abi the suspense is killing me tell me what is it that you're keeping from me," I ask her whiningly. "Okay remember your daughter was supposedly killed when you gave birth to her and you were going to call her Monique Krystal," Abi stated hesitantly.
"Yeah, so what about that," Mel said quickly because she knew I wouldn't be able to answer.
"Well, Jessi I have some good and bad news for you. The good news is that…well that… your daughter Monique is alive. The doctors used the same thing on you just like they did to me so now she's an avian experiment to. She is also part of the flock that we just left several hours ago. They live in Arizona with Max's mom, Dr. Martinez, and with suspect 6," Abi finished watching for my reaction.
I couldn't even comprehend her words. The doctors lied to me? Monique didn't even think that I would remember her so I needed to go find her and tell her how sorry I am and that I had no idea.
"Abi, Chaney, Mel let's head out, I need to go find my daughter," I said boldly.
"No, not yet, it's not time to tell them, as soon as it's time I'll tell you immediately," Abi replied making me sit in my chair. Her logic made sense so I sat calmly down and said "Okay. But as soon as it's time."
