A/N Hello again! Sorry about this chapter taking so long to come out and that it's a bit shorter than the others, it was super hard to write for some reason and I really hope it's quality wasn't affected because of that. Plus finals are about to start and I need to study. I hope to get out at least one more chapter before the first final, but we'll see what happens. Anyways I am so glad that people are actually enjoying my story and can't wait to write the next few chapters. Don't forget to leave a review and I know I've said this before but they really do make my day 10x better. So I hope you enjoy and sorry for any spelling or grammar mistakes I may have missed.

Class dragged on for Evan and he stared mindlessly at the board. He already understood everything the teacher was explaining. So he started to drift off and was practically asleep when his phone went off. Evan jumped in his seat and he scrambled to shut his phone off while the teacher just gave Evan an annoyed look. Jonathan snickered a bit and Evan finally managed to shut off the ringer. He glanced at the caller ID and saw Craig's name pop up on the screen. "Oh shit…" Evan muttered to himself earning a glance from Jonathan. Evan canceled the call and instead opened his messages and clicked on Craig's name. "Sorry I can't talk right now I'm in class."

Evan went to put his phone away but his phone vibrated again. He looked down and saw that Craig sent another message. "I know but I need you to get down here now!" Craig sent. Evan stared at the message and felt his heart sink, something must be wrong, Evan thought as he started to pack up his backpack, "I'm on my way" Evan sent and he stood up to leave. Jonathan grabbed him by the arm, "hey where are you going? is everything okay?" Evan smiled at him "Yeah, everything's fine, I think…" Jonathan gave him a concerned look but let go of his arm and Evan ran out of the classroom.

Evan made it to his car and drove as fast as he could to the base. He knocked on the door and waited to be let in. Nogla opened the door and gave Evan a confused look. "Evan what are you doing here shouldn't you be at school," He asked. "I was," Evan said stepping inside "But Craig called and said it was urgent" Evan gave Joe and Tony a quick scratch as he passed by and headed deeper into the base. Nogla followed him and they both went down into the surveillance room. When they got there Craig was pacing back and forth around the room.

"Craig what's wrong," Evan said as they walked in. Craig looked up at Evan with a worried expression. "we might have a problem." Craig said grabbing his laptop and placed it onto the table for everyone to see. It was at this point Evan realized that Lui was also in the room. Lui looked frustrated and annoyed, constantly glaring at Craig. "What happened?" Evan asked. He had expected Craig to answer but Lui did instead. "Craig here! very well might have given the enemy the perfect and only way to track us down!" Lui said.

"Wait, what!" both Evan and Nogla said looking at Craig. "It's not my fault!" Craig said looking at Lui. "Why would you make it so fragile and hard to control." "I told you it wasn't done!" Lui said, "This was supposed to just be a test run not an actual mission!" Craig and Lui continued to shift the blame on each other, while Evan and Nogla just exchanged glances.

"Alright!" Evan yelled, "Everyone just calm down!" Lui and Craig both let out a frustrated huff and sat down at the table, while Nogla and Evan did the same. "Okay, so what actually happened?" Nogla asked and they both opened their mouths to speak but Evan stopped them. "One at a time please, Lui you go first." Lui took a deep breath and started to explain what happened "Okay, so I just finished building a prototype for a far range spy drone" Lui said. "With it we would have been able to spy on places without actually putting ourselves in danger, on top of that you would be able to control it from any laptop" Lui said slightly gloating. "so I gave it to Craig to test it out, and he had the brilliant idea to send it right to the heart of the Mafia."

"I didn't know it was just a prototype!" Craig said. "I told you!" Lui yelled. "Did not!" "yes I did, I said be careful with it it's not finished yet, don't do anything stupid!" "Okay okay!" Evan said, "So where is the drone now?"

"Well…" Craig started "Do you remember that one warehouse I told you about, you know that big one" "Yes," Evan answered "Yeah…it's in there," Craig said. "You're not serious," Evan said pinching the bridge of his nose. "Lui how can they track us, using the drone." Evan asked. "one of the features was to be able to navigate its way home so it has the coordinates of the base programmed into its memory." Lui said. "Oh boy…" Evan muttered.

"here's the good thing," Craig said, "I created part of the programming and I made sure that the memory bank of the drone is protected by a firewall and heavy encryptions, but with enough work, I'm sure someone could hack through it." Craig said. "Well, what are the odds that they think the drone is ours and not just some kid's" Nogla asked. Craig shot a harsh glare at Lui. "I had said we should make it more like a normal drone, but Lui thought it would be nice to paint it black and yellow and put a Vanoss logo on it. "Hey to be fair, it looked really cool," Lui said. "So where exactly did you lose contact with the drone," Evan asked. "we lost it trying to navigate it through the vents," Craig said. "Did you lose the signal or something?" Evan asked.

"Sort of," Lui said, "There was a fan that we had to go through and Craig didn't time it right. So it got hit by one of the fan blades." Lui said "It must have cracked one of the propellers because it stopped flying and fell straight down… then we lost contact with it." "So it's stuck bellow some fan in some random vent." Evan said. "Yep!" Lui said. "And from what I'm understanding you want me to go get it." Evan stated. "Yep!" Lui repeated. Evan let out a frustrated sigh. "How the hell am I supposed to find it in there!"

"Oh don't worry about that," Craig said typing on his laptop. "I have the route we took before we lost contact with it, so I'll be able to guide you to it" Evan started at the map on Craig's laptop. "Fine, I'm going to go get changed," Evan said leaving the room and walking further down the stairs. Evan muttered to himself all the way down the stairs, he reached the bottom and changed into his suit. He placed his earpiece in his ear and powered it on. "Testing Craig, can you hear me?" Evan said. "Yeah I read you," Craig said. Evan pulled down his mask and stared down the tunnel. "You ready?" Craig asked.

"I guess so…" Evan muttered slightly annoyed that he was being forced to clean up Craig's and Lui's screw up. Evan focused his will and summoned his wings. Evan pushed off the ground and flapped his wings. They thrust him down the tunnel and he flew out over a small lake. Evan flew close to the surface and let his hand drag in the cold water. Evan's grumpy mood vanished felt excitement pumping through his veins and the cool wind on his face.

He smiled as he flew up higher and passed the clouds. He always loved flying it always made him feel like there was nothing in the world that could hold him down. Evan looked up at the blue sky and couldn't help himself from thinking about Jonathan. He thought about how he had hugged him and almost kissed him. Evan blushed beneath the mask when he thought about Jonathan saying he liked him but just wasn't ready for a relationship. Evan understood why Jonathan was trying to protect him, he was trying to keep him as far away from Mr. Pelter as possible because he knew what he was capable of. If only Jonathan knew how involved Evan was, maybe then they could... Evan's thoughts drifted.

What would happen if he told Jonathan he was Vanoss. Would Jonathan just except it? Would he tell his "Dad" that he was Vanoss or would Jonathan just think he was being used? These thoughts continued to plague Evan's mind. What if he didn't know Jonathan as well as he thought, what if he really was deep down just like Mr. Pelter? Evan toyed with these feelings some more until he saw the warehouse come into view. Evan landed in an alley a few feet away from the warehouse. "Mini this place is crawling with mafia members!" Evan said into his earpiece as he looked over to the warehouse. There were armed guards everywhere and a bunch of workers moving crates in an out of the building. Evan watched muscular looking men with assault rifles strapped to their back pace around the perimeter, keeping their eyes on the workers and any other passerby. Evan grimaced to himself, there sure was a lot of them.

"Hang on, I'm trying to figure out the best way in." Craig said. Evan continued to wait and he watched the workers move create after create into large trucks disguised as moving trucks. He also kept a keen eye on the mercenaries, a car drove by and to Evan's surprise, it pulled up to the back of the warehouse and stopped. One of the mercenaries said something into his radio and walked over to the car and pulled open the car door.

Mr. Pelter stepped out followed by his two usual bodyguards. He nodded to the mercenary and proceeded into the building. Evan started to feel a bit of dread build up in his stomach. "Oh Fuck" Evan whispered. "What?" Craig asked, "Mr. Pelter just showed up." Evan mumbled, "Is this really worth it." Evan asked. "this is very important Evan if they get their hands on that drone we are screwed," Craig said. "Fine have you figured out the best way in yet," Evan asked. "Yes," Craig said "You're currently by the south entrance, the vent we entered is located on the north wall. I think it would be best if you stick to the alleys and make you're way around."

"Got it," Evan said. He turned and ran down the ally in the opposite direction of the warehouse. He followed the directions Craig told him and eventually, he found himself on the north side of the building. Evan waited for the perfect moment before running over to the wall. "Mini where's the vent!" Evan said. "Up and to your left." Craig said. Up in the top corner was a small steel tunnel that led deeper into the building.

Evan jumped and used his wings to give him a small boost to reach the edge of the vent. Evan pulled himself into the vent and he was forced to make his wings disappear so that he could fit in the small space. Evan started to crawl through the vents, the metal floor thumped beneath him as Craig continued to give him directions. Evan turned left as Craig directed and hit a metal wall. "Craig this is a dead end!" Evan whispered into his earpiece.

"Sorry sorry… I meant my left so you're right." Evan grumbled to himself as he was forced to crawl backward till he was able to go the other way. Evan finally reached a larger opening that had a big metal fan on the floor. Evan looked down at the fan "So it's somewhere down there" Evan asked. "Yeah," Craig said. "How the hell am I going to get past that!" Evan said staring down at the fan. "You're going to have to jam it with something," Craig said. "I don't have anything to… Wait" Evan stopped.

Just below him were metal bars welded into the vent walls leading down past the fan forming a ladder. Evan reached down and gripped the top bar, he gathered heat into his hand and held his hand there until that part of the bar began to glow. Evan pulled up and down on the bar until the half finally snapped away from the wall. He proceeded to repeat this to the other side of the bar until he was able to pull the bar completely off the wall. Evan held the bar in his hand and shoved it into the gear of the fan.

The fan made a horrible screech as the gears grinded against the bar and the blades slowly came to a stop. Evan used the rest of the ladder to climb down past the fan. He reached the bottom and started looking around for the drone. "Where is it Mini?" Evan asked as he looked around the empty duct. "It should be there!" Craig responded. "It's not here!" Evan said stepping off the ladder "That's impossible" Craig. "it's not here Mini, check your map again, maybe we took a wrong turn some where" Evan said. "but you made it to the fan, that has to be it" Craig said looking over the map. "there could be more than one fan" Evan responded. "no I gave you the right directions it has to be there keep looking" Craig said. "Mini, I can practically reach both walls if I stretch my arms out, I've looked everywhere." Evan said frustrated.

He took one step forward to stand in the center of the room and the floor beneath him gave way. "Oh, Shit!" Evan yelled and he fell down and out of the vent. He managed to grab onto one of the long black wires holding the lights into the ceiling stopping his fall. Evan let out a sigh of relief "That was a close one" He muttered to himself and he started to pull himself up when the wire holding the light into the ceiling snapped and he plummeted at least 50 feet to the hard concrete floor below.

Evan's head spun and stars filled his vision. He groaned as pushed himself up so that he was sitting upright, his ribs flared in pain when he did. God, he probably broke something again. He looked up and saw the barrel of a gun aimed right at his head "Crap..." He whispered "Vanoss what's wrong! What happen!" Craig said into his earpiece. Evan's vision blurred in and out and he soon realized that the man standing in front of him wasn't the only one pointing his gun at him.

Evan was completely surrounded by armed mercenaries. He didn't know what to do his brain was still too stunned from falling so high. How did that even happen the ducts should have been able to hold his weight. The guard in front of him said something into his radio but Evan couldn't make it out through all the ringing in his ear and Craig's pleads for him to respond. Evan's vision went black for a second and when he could see again he saw Mr. Pelter standing in front of him with a big smile on his face.

"Hello Vanoss," Mr. Pelter said leaning down "Looking for this". He held out the drone and let it fall to the floor right in front of Evan. "I knew you'd come looking for this eventually" Mr. Pelter said. "so I had a false floor installed hoping you'd fall to your death." Mr. Pelter looked over at the broken light in dismay, "but I guess you're not that lucky." Mr. Pelter looked back at Vanoss and leaned in a little closer.

Craig continued to scream into Evan's ear through the earpiece and Evan's brain scrambled to get his thoughts back in order. "After I'm through with you, you're going to wish that fall killed you," He said smirking. He stood up straight and turned away from Vanoss before looked up at the guarded next to him, "You know what to do" He said and started to walk away. Evan watched the guard take a step forward flip his gun around and slammed the butt of the gun into the side of his head.

Evan fell back to the cold concrete floor and his vision swirled some more before slowly faded away.
