Max POV
I backed out of the outopsy room and sprinted down the long hallway to the main control room.
I walked to the nearest person and asked, "Where arre Steven and Marie?"
"I-I don't know." He stuttered.
"Where are they?" I demanded.
"They went to the basement to work on something." He said finally.
"Take me to them." I ordered the scared scientist.
The man walked down a hallway opposite to the one I just came from and I followed closely on his heels.
We slipped silently down many hallways and down a few staircases when we finally reached the basement. The tiny scienst pointed to a door and backed up against the wall. I walked in front of him and slammed open the door. Steven and Marie jumped when they hheard the lound bang of the door against the wall.
"What the hell did you do to Jeb?" I demanded.
"I have no idea what you are talking about." Marie countered.
"The docoter said that there was an unidentified drug in his blood stream. You and Mark were the last ones who saw him. It had to be one of you. I have no idea where Mark is and you're the only ones here so I want to know what the hell you did to Jeb." I said as I crossed the room to where they were standing.
Steven stepped in front of Marie to guard her from my wrath and reached out a hand stopping me from going any closer.
"So were you part of this too? Huh? I thought you were a good guy, but obviosly it is in an Eraser's DNA to be on the side that wants to take over the world. You know what? I'm going to find out who killed my father and I WILL close down Itex forever." I said backing away.
"You have no proof whatsoever that we did anything. I loved Jeb as a boss and was devestated when he died. I would NEVER do that to someone I love." Marie said peeking out from behind Steven.
"Whatever. I will find out who it was." I was across the room and at the door as I said this.
I flung the door open and stormed out into the hall.
The tiny scientist was still standing there when I came out. He scurried off in front of me leading the way out. I followed.
I was outside of the building and over by Steven's car when I remembered that Steven locked the car and I had my things in it. This didn't stop me from breaking the window and grabbing my stuff while the car alarm was going off. I juped into the air with my bags in hand and jetted off across the sky.
I was sitting on my bed at a random hotel I found while flying. I was dead tired and need some sleep, but I had to call Fang first.
I called and he picked up on the first ring.
"Max, Max are you okay?" he sounded really worried.
"Fang, calm down . I'm fine. I just need a little sleep." I told him stretching out on the comfy bed.
"When are you coming home?" He asked.
"I don't know. I have to find out who killed Jeb before I can go back. I'm sorry but I need to do this."
"It's fine. He was your dad. Even though he wasn't the best dad he was still one." He said calmly.
'Thanks Fang." I mumbled quietly.
"So what did you find out? You said someone killed him, but how canyou be so sure?"
"There was a tiny little hole in his forearm and an unidentified drug in his bloodstream. I think it was Marie, the vice-director now director. She seemed like she really wanted his job. She said that when they were working on some really important thing when he ran to his room and started paking, but not before saying something about Juliet. She told me he said that he never got to see her and that he need to. I think he knew Marie was going to kill him so he wanted to see his granddaughter before he died. Marie was obviously one step ahead of him nad when he went to his room she tied him down or something and shot him up." I explained all that very quickly. I'm surprised Fang could understand what I was saying.
"Okay. Well, you don't have any proof so you cann't do anything. Why don't you come home Jules misses you." Fang suggested.
"I want to but I can't. I have to figure this out."
"Well then do it from home."
"But I can't!" I whined.
"I don't care. You are coming home. And if Julietand I have to come and get you ourselves, we will." Fang promised.
"Bye, Fang. Tell Jules I say hi." And I hung up without another word.
I fell back on the bed and slept without a dream for the first time in a long while.
Fang POV
She hung up on me wihtout another word, I stood there for a second and stared at the phone in my hand.
Jules snuck up behind me and scared the crap out of me. She tackeld me to the ground started tickling me. It's surprising that I laughed.
"What did Mommy say?" Juliet asked.
"I don't know." I said truthfully.
"Why don't you know? Is she coming home or not?" She pried.
"Well, you need to pack a bag because we are going to have to go get her." I said trying to get up from the floor. I didn't succeed because Jules kept pushing me back down. I could get up if I really wanted to, but I didn't.
"Do you miss her?" I asked Juliet.
"Yeah, I miss her a whole bunch." She responded.
"Then let's go get her back." I said enthusiastically.
She jumped up and ran off to her room to pack a bag. I slowly walked to my and Max's room to pack my own. I threw a few black shirts and a few pair of jeans into a backpack. Jules ran into our room and stated jumping on the bed while I finishede packing.
I grabbed her around the waist and carried her out to the car. We would have to drive because Juls couldn't fly very well. I tossed her in the back seat and ran into the house to grab some food for the long ride down to Florida.
I came back out with our bags over each arm and a bag of food in my hand. I tossed the bags in the trunk and climbed in and started the car.
"Where are we going?" Juliet questioned.
"All the way to Florida."
"How long will it take?"
"I don't really know." I drove out of the drive way and soon we were on the highway. I looked back and Juliet was already sound asleep.
Okay, I am SOOOOOOOOOO sorry I haven't updated in a while and that this is such a short chapter. Please don't kill me! I promise I will make the next one REALLY long. So please don't kill me.
Oh, and now that it's summer, I will try to update more often.
