"Gazzy! Turn off that music! It's too loud"! Fang yelled through blasting music. The music was giving him a headache. "Gazzy? What did I just say"? Fang yelled again, this time with steel in his voice. No reply came at all. "Gazzy"! Fang was suddenly interrupted by an even louder scream. "Sutup Fang! I'm trying to think"! Nudge yelled while rubbing her temples. "Fine"! Fang replied again. He stomped up the stairs thinking what he will do to Gazzy when he got up there. Pretty much in a nutshell, the state we are living in sucks. Since Max, mysteriously disappeared, life has been nothing but trouble. The Erasers were chasing them a lot more frequently now that they know that their most fearing leader is gone. So every night we either had to go fishing into garbage cans for a bite to eat, or sneaking into ratty hotel rooms for the night. Or before the Hotel Manager finds us and kicks us out for good. Nudge has become more short-tempered and quiet. Gazzy stopped making bombs, but started acting all emo on us. Angel would sit in her little bubble and sulk for the whole day. And Iggy…he just sat there not even moving on whatever is could find to sit on. And I was in the worst state of my life. Now that Max is gone, it's like a whole part of me just died inside of my body and my heart. I stomped into the room where Gazzy was in and saw him standing right in front of the speaker, with his eyes closed. I unplugged the stereo and his eyes just shot open with a confused look. But that look didn't last long as it quickly turned into anger just like that. "What's your problem? I was listening to that"! Gazzy yelled. "I told you three times to turn that music off! It is way too late for this stuff"! I replied with a blazing look in my eye. "It's too late my foot! It's only 6 o' clock"! Gazzy yelled. "Well Nudge is getting a headache, and you know who has to take the blame? Me! And for what you're doing"! Fang shouted with venom in his voice. Tears started to form in Gazzy's eyes and he whimpered. I sighed. "Just go too bed, alright"? Fang said softer now. He said nothing, but he did get up and went to bed. We had to find Max, we all can't take anymore of this. We need a leader, we need Max.
