I heard Nudge gasp next to me on the couch. I froze. Nightmares of my eyes being 'enhanced' flashed through my brain.
"They took Angel back to the School?" asked the Gasman.
"I think so," said Max.
"Why?" Nudge whispered. "After four years, thought maybe they had forgotten-"
"They want us back," said Fang.
"They'll never forget about us. Jeb wasn't supposed to take us out of there," Max said.
"Jeb knew they would do anything to get us back. If anyone ever discovered what they did to us, it would be the end of the School," said Fang.
"Why don't we tell on them, then?" Nudge asked, hurt. "We could go to a TV station and tell everyone and say, Look, they grew wings on us, and we're just little kids and-"
"Okay, that would fix them. But we'd end up in a zoo," I said.
"Well, what are we gonna do, then?" asked Gazzy.
I heard Fang's quiet steps as he entered the room. I had been so focused, I didn't notice him leave.
"Eew. Eew was that-" started Nudge.
"Here," said Fang.
It smelled like mouse poop but I didn't know what was going on. Just another downfall of being me.
I heard the rustling of papers.
"What is that?" asked the Gasman.
"Map," Fang said, more rustling.
"Map of what?" said Nudge.
"Map of a secret facility. In California. The School," said Max.
