tnx 2 all of my reviewers.

Chapter 10

Max and Nudge kept reading the note over and over again. "I have to tell Jeffery and Fang." Nudge headed out the door. "This is terrible. What if he's being tortured?" I felt like I was about to cry.

"I'm sure he's fine… so far. By the way, I bought you a charger last night for your phone at an electronics store and charged it for you." I felt my pockets. My phone was gone. "Here, you'll need it." Max handed me the phone and charger.

"Today is Thursday. I think we can make it to D.C. by tomorrow. But still…" Max buried her face in her hands. "The kidnapper or kidnappers know where we are. They probably know what we do 24/7." Nudge, Fang, and Jeffery walked in.

"They're probably those wolf creatures." Nudge said as she closed the door. "Maybe, or maybe the wolf creatures are also after us!" Fang said. "Ugh. This sucks!" Jeffery rolled his eyes. "Well duh! But it especially sucks for Iggy." My phone rang. "Hold on."

"Hello?" I answered. "Angel, where are you? Emily called me and told me that she has no idea where you are and that you keep fleeing from place to place." It was my brother, the Gasman. "I'm fine. Listen, Iggy just got kidnapped, and I'm with Max, Nudge, Fang, and Nudge's fiancée." I knew Gazzy was overwhelmed. "Yeah, well we're heading into D.C. today."

"Angel! How could you not have called me? Well anyway, I'm taking the next flight to D.C. Keep in touch." Gazzy hung up. "Who was it?" Max asked. "Gazzy." I answered. "You mean the Gasman?" Jeffery asked. "Yeah, the Gasman."

"How is he?" Nudge asked. "Fine. Gazzy is coming, though."

"Is he insane. We're being pursued by one, possibly two groups!" Max said. "You know how stubborn my brother is."

"Well, anyway we have to leave. Checkout time is at eight. And it's seven fifty-five. One second late, and an extra ten dollars. Let's get out of here."

We headed to the parking lot. Jeffery started to help Nudge into the Ferrari. "Oh no. This time I can fly. I know it. How about we take turns. Next rest stop we'll switch." Fang jumped into the driver's seat. "And I'll take the wheel. I've always wanted to drive one of these!"

Nudge flapped her wings. "I know I can survive this time!" Although she had to strain herself to do it, she flew- and well if I may add.

"I hope Jeffery and Fang will be okay." I said. "I noticed that they were a little tense, so I figured taking a nice drive together would sort things out." I hoped so too. For everyone's sake.

At the rest stop, I got to ride in the Ferrari while Fang and Nudge flew. I noticed that Max and Jeffery's hair was all messed up. "Fang was going one hundred miles an hour! Literally. That maniac!" Jeffery said. "Well, I'll drive now." Max said.

On the way, Jeffery and I talked about our interests. We loved the same things! Reading mysteries, math, same type of music, and more! I also found out a lot about Jeffery. He was so interesting. He was a skydiver, a runner, a dirt bike racer. He even jumped Niagara falls once! I now loved him even more.

At nine o'clock, we checked in to a motel in D.C. Gazzy called me and told me that he'd meet me tomorrow at 10 outside of the motel that I was staying at.

The next morning, I was surprised to see that accompanying Gazzy was Emily. "Emily? What are you doing here?" I asked.

"Is that all you have to say to me after taking a 3 hour flight here?" We quickly hugged. "Wow, nice clothes." She commented. "They're Max's. Designer wear." I led them up to my room and knocked on the door. Nudge opened it.

"Gazzy!" She squeezed him. "And uh…" I whispered, "Emily" in her ear. "Emily!" She hugged Emily. "Uh who is this?" Gazzy asked. "Don't you remember me? You know, Nudge!" Gazzy's face looked as though he had just heard the world was made of chocolate.

"Nudge?" He stared at her. "That's right." Emily and I giggled at the awkwardness. He hugged Max. "No wings?" He asked. "Yeah." She said. "Oh, now, um, I'd like to meet Fang." He muttered something like, "What happened to Fang, is he a hunk?" Max led him to Fang.

"I'm going to get changed." Nudge said. I hadn't even noticed that she was still in her skull pajamas. "You know, when I last saw Fang, I thought of her completely differently!"

"Come on, let's go!" Fang, Nudge, and Jeffery were standing at the doorway.
