Disclaimer: I don't know MR. Now a preview of what is to be seen in this chapter. A sprinkle of Fax, Nudge finally finds out what was one the end of the nails that she pulled through the wall, and a bit of Eggy. Oh, right and the questionable flamingo is coming…
I walk down the hall, past Iggy's room and I hear a weird noise that sounds like an animal in pain.
"Iggy! What is that noise?" I shout, coming into his room. He is lying on the floor like a rock star, playing guitar on a lawn flamingo.
"What are you doing?" I ask calmly. He blushes, tossing the flamingo under his bed.
"Nothing…"
"Just keep it down!" I snap and walk out of the room, closing the door behind me.
"Good morning Maximum," Fang whispers behind me, kissing me on the cheek. I smile, giving him his own kiss on the cheek. He smirks, grabbing my hand and pulling me down the hall to the kitchen. Angel sat at the table, picking at her cereal, since Iggy is busy.
"Hey, Angel. What's wrong?" I ask, sitting next to her. She sighs, dropping her fork.
"We're aren't doing anything to find Gazzy or Nudge! We just sit around, pretending to know what we're doing or where they are!" Angel cries angrily, slamming her hand on the table.
"We're doing anything we can! We don't want to raid a facility that they're not at and risk someone else getting captured," I explain. Angel smiles, grabbing my arm.
"If I said I knew where they had been taken, could we leave ASAP?" she asks. I shrug. She smiles even bigger and runs back up the stairs. I exchange a confused glance with Fang when Angel abruptly comes back.
"I read one of the ninja's minds when we were attacked at the movies! They are being taken to the facility in Oklahoma!" she says, putting a map in front of me.
"Why didn't you tell us?" I ask. She smiles innocently, giving me a hug.
"I was worried, so I kinda forgot," she explains, her voice muffled by my shirt. I give Fang the go-get-everyone look. He leaves with a nod, running up the stairs.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Soon, the entire Flock, or the part that isn't been captured yet, is gathered around the table, including my mom, and half sister Ella.
"Are you absolutely sure this is where they were taken?" Dr. M asks Angel one more time.
"Mom!" I say, irritated that she asked so many times, "I think she made it clear that they were taken to Oklahoma." Dr. M shrugs, pulling a piece of paper out of file.
"I'm sorry, but we need to make sure that that's where they were taken, or we'd be raiding a facility for no reason and no doubt, risking the capture of the other members of the Flock," she explains. I nod, looking at the map. Dr. M stood, putting a hand on my shoulder.
"I think you should wait to save Nudge and Gazzy," she whispers. I stiffen, turning to look at her.
"Why?" I ask through gritted teeth. She sighs heavily, dropping her hand.
"Alone, with just your four won't be enough to get them back," she says, packing up her papers. I scowl, jumping to face her.
"Of course we're enough! We got Angel back ourselves, didn't we?" I snarl. Dr. M sighs again, snapping shut her bag.
"I know, but last time, there were more of you to save her, and the only reason you did save her was…" she stops talking, looking at her watch.
"What! What was the only reason we saved her?" I scream after her as she and Ella walk to the door. She turns to face me, her eye blazing and a frown on her face.
"Sheer luck! Sheer dumb luck!" she snaps, slamming the door behind her. I drop on to the couch, groaning. Suddenly, two strong arms are around me, pressing me in a warm, soft embrace. Fang. I lay my head on his shoulder and sobbed.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Nudge grunts as she lands roughly back in her cell after pulling needles through a wall this time. The man shut the door, Ronda blinks a few times and the man's foot's steps fade away. Nudge pulls the needle out of her pocket, inspecting the red clunk on the end of it.
"Gazzy!" she calls. He wanders over to her, sitting in front of her. She hands him the nail.
"What'd you do? Stab someone with this?" he jokes, tossing her back the needle. Nudge's eyes widen.
"Oh my God! What have I done?" she gasps, running to the towel in the corner. Gazzy watches her with concern as she vomits. Gazzy stood from his cross-legged position.
"What's wrong?" he asks. Nudge rinses her mouth, dropping the towel on the floor.
"I think I killed people," she whimpers, crouching on the ground. Gazzy's eyes widen, dropping to the ground next to her.
"What were they making you do?" he asks. Nudge drops her head.
"They asked me to pull needle and nails through a mirror. I think it was a two way mirror," she whispers. Gazzy bit his bottom lip, clenching his fists. Nudge felt tears prick at her eyes. She took a deep breath holding them back.
"Why did you do it?" he suddenly asks. Nudge looks up at him; her eyes shining with unshed tears.
"I didn't know."

I sat on my bed, tossing a tennis ball up and down. Total sat at my feet, snoring quietly. The ball drops out of my hand, rolling away from me. I stare up at the ceiling, my mom's words ringing through my head again and again. My door clicks open and Angel comes in, Celeste hugged to her chest. I give her a small smile and beckon her over. She climbs into the bed next to me, staring at the ceiling too,
"What are we going to do?" she asks, holding my hand. I shrug, continuing to stare at the light blue ceiling.
"We need to get them, not matter what Dr. Martinez says," she decides. I nod, kissing her hand. She curls up into a ball, laying her head on my stomach.
"Oh, hello!" Total comments, crawling up to Angel. She giggles, scratching his head. Total yawns, stretching his little wings.
"That was a fine dog nap!" he sighs, leaping off the bed.
"Isn't it called cat naps?" I ask. He snorts, rolling his eyes at me.
"Do I look like a cat to you? No? Good." I smile, watching his trot out the door. I flip over in the bed, slinging an arm over Angel. She sighs, ramming her face into the covers.
"Can I come in?" Fang asks. I look up to see him standing in the doorway.
"Yeah," Angel says. He chuckles, sitting next o her. She crawls into his lap.
"I'm glad that you and Max are together now," she sighs. He smiles.
"Could I talk with Max alone?" he asks. Angel nods, walking out. He turns to me, smiling. I smile back, patting the empty space next to me.
"So, are we going to get them?" he asks. I nod instantly. He smirks. I kiss him, putting my hands on his cheeks. He smiles through the kiss. I run my fingers through his hair. He wraps his arm around my waist, pulling me closer. I pull away, Fang continuing to kiss my neck.
"We're going to leave tomorrow," I say. He stops, looking at me closely.
"What about what your mom said?" he asks. I roll my eyes, sitting back against the headrest.
"I'm going anyway," I say quietly. Fang sighs, crawling to my side.
"Maybe you should listen to her…" he says. I scoff, smacking his shoulder.
"Whose side are you on?" I ask. He smiles, lying next to me. I sigh, flopping down next to him. He laces his fingers through mine, rubbing his thumb over my knuckles.
"I'm on your side, but maybe she has a good point on why she doesn't want you to go?" he suggests. I roll my eyes, rolling on to him.
"Like what?" I ask, tracing his chest with my fingers. Fang smiles, pushing my hair out of my face.
"She could be worried about you," he says. I roll my eyes, resting my head on his chest.
"She knows I can take care of my self," I murmur into his chest. He strokes my hair, humming softly.
"So do I, but that doesn't mean I'm not worried about you either," Fang whispers into my hair. I shrug, climbing off him.
"Let's go get ready. We have Flock members to save!"
Note: R&R. So, the big raid comes in the next chapter. I hope you guys like it. Okay. I give everyone cupcakes because I got more reviews. But, I didn't get as many as I would like so I'm not going to update again until I get a least 5 reviews. No pressure! :P
