[A/N] I'm pretty sure that this'll be the last part. This chapter is basically emailing back-and-forth, back-and-forth. A tad boring. :D

[4.3] A Wonder at the Cost of a Life; Part Three
Jeb walked into Lab 3, and sat down at his computer. It was state-of-the-art, chrome everything, and everything was fast, fast, fast. As soon as he logged in, there was a little blinking mail icon in the bottom-right-hand corner. He clicked on it, and a message popped up. It was from Valencia.

Jeb- the flock has arrived. What the hell have you been doing to Fang? Max is extremely worried. Are you sure the Director approved of this? I think this could be getting out of hand.
Angel's getting suspicious, and I doubt Ella will be able to keep this a secret any longer. Send me back his progress soon. I've just sent everyone to bed- it's the best time to talk. And what did you do to Total?
Val
His heart raced. So Val had found out. A part of him felt horrible for forcing her to join Itex in the first place, but another felt like it was her fault. After all, she was the one who conceived Max. Duh. He typed quickly, giving her a little bit of the truth. He knew he had to hide so much from her, for her own protection. In truth, Val was never to join Itex in the first place. Nor was Total or Ella. But it was the only way that they could get Max and Fang, without anything being revealed to them or the flock.

A little beer. A little college party. A little "Seven Minutes in Heaven". A little avian-hybrid. [A/N: Nanana. Don't like that. -epically headdesks- DDDDDDD:]
Sorry I'm late. He noticed the time it was sent out- 9:34 PM. There was a holdup with one of the experiments. Fang's alright, he lied. He knew he had to improvise- the Director read all his emails, since he was the Supervisor of the A.G.E. Project. He would've much rather give that job to Runyon, but since he brought Max, he was in charge. Valencia had no idea about Project Omega, only that Fang had been captured. Of course the Director approved of this. If he didn't, Fang would be with you. His hands hovered over the keyboard. "I think this could be getting out of hand."
It hadn't. In fact, it wasn't even close. Sure, Fang was being treated pretty crappily right now. But it was for the better. Trust me, Val. It's not out of hand. We're just running some tests. The standard. As for Angel and Ella, I can take care of them- don't worry. He would just find their tracers, and make them release a little sleep serum, infused with a little forgetfulness solution Itex came up with especially for Project Omega. As soon as anyone got suspicious, their trackers would release this mixture, so that the Project could remain a secret. No onewas supposed to know about this, except the Itex staff.
Anyone else who knew would be killed.
Total had to be replaced. We put a non-talking dog in his place, one of his clones. Same everything, except he can't talk. Total overheard one of the supervisors talking and A.G.E.-actually, it was about Omega-so we kept him at Itex. But he's alive, since he has much information about the flock. As for the supervisor, he's been terminated. Need to know anything else?
Valencia went into the kitchen. 11:47 PM. She had sent it out over an hour ago, but there was still no reply. She poured herself some coffee, and went back to her room. When she got there, she got a pleasant surprise.

She sent back a hasty reply.

Thank god. Of course I need to know more! Just send me all of Fang's reports. I want to know everything. Not just the things I can only know. That crap that is known by everyone else.
Jeb got a reply back within five minutes.

Shit. He couldn't do that at all. He immediately went to Val's tracer, and opened up the program. He went to the section Project Omega, and went to Release mixture.
Are you sure you want to continue?
Jeb clicked Yes, and put in his authorization code. I'm so sorry, Val.
If you need to know, I really did love you.
Valencia felt sleepy. After all, it was 12 in the morning. She didn't even turn off her laptop or the lights. She just conked out, Jeb went into her computer and shut down her programs.
No one would ever know…

Questions? Comments? Love it? Hate it? Wanna send me to an italics rehab? Tell me about it in your review. Even anonymous.
NANANA. I really dislike this particular chapter. -headdesks- The italics at the end are Jeb's thoughts. :] (Pardon me for that A/N in the middle. I just had to say that. lolwut.) The email addresses got sooo messed up when I uploaded them here. Meh.
Thank you my reviewers! -blows kisses- :D Very appreciated.
