Chapter 12
Fang paced as he waited for Mike to come back. He should never have sent mike out there, even with Mystery to help
"If you're that worried Fang" tiger said for the umpteenth time, Lets go get them"
He ignored her.
"Woah!" Starling said, looking out the window, 'Way cool. Do you think we could ever do that?"
a image flashed through his mind. He knew only one person who could do it quite like that. Angel.'
And considering she was in the image, he wasn't surprised Starling could borrow her power
It was the flock, dive bombing down.
Max was at the lead, with Dylan and Iggy either side of her and the younger ones behind them.
Fang studied Max's face, the ache that never went away more powerful
He had caused that pain on her face, and in her heart and soul.
They were here. He didn't have to ask why.
Of course Max Would have figured it out.
The institute was a key in all this, as sure as the school was.
The door crashed open, and fang twirled, around, ready for anything.
Except Mystery, looking battered as hell, and Mike, both limping, both covered in cuts and scraps
"What happened?"
"We got caught" Mike said
"Fought, escaped, here" She chucked a laptop on a bed, and files too, "Mike also has access into their security system"
"Okay. One step closer" Fang said.
***
"One step closer" I said, reading aloud the email Jeb had sent. It was basically information on the Erasers, Dr G-H and such.
"Max?" Angel said, cutting in, "Remember that little self healing girl? I wonder if she's okay"
I sighed. I was told to save the world, but I had come to the terms that I couldn't save everyone.
How do you explain that to, I'll admit, advanced, yet still a child seven year old?
Perhaps, in time, Angel would figure that out for herself.
"lets get some sleep" I said later, making sure they all went to sleep before curling up on the sofa chair, and falling asleep myself, my hand around the ring around my neck.
When morning came, I could taste it in the air.
Today would bring about change.
I didn't know if that was good, or Bad.
As Nudge checked the security system I spilt the bombs between us all.
"remember" I said, "Be careful. Iggy, Gaz, you both know what to do. Ange, your with Me, Dylan"
"Protect Nudge as she hacks in" He said, "And keep watch so that you and Angel can rescue other experiments"
I nodded
He continued "Its going to be fine max-I can see it"
I didn't know if that was a good or bad thing either
But I led the way to the institute, the underground way.
