I am so sorry for not posting as often as I would like. School just started and I've been extremely busy. Hopefully, I'll find some extra time in my hectic schedule. Onto the chapter!

"Why can't we just break in?" asked Max, frustrated. She had asked this question seven times, and she never got the answer she wanted.

"Because, in order to get answers, we need to just stay calm. I don't think they will answer our questions if we blast the front entrance," Dylan answered, also getting frustrated.

"Do we even need to bring him?" asked Iggy, pointing to Bryce, not caring that Bryce was offended by the question. Iggy didn't like Bryce. Bryce tried to be friendly with Iggy, but Iggy was not making it easy.

"Yes, we need to bring him. We barely know where we're going," said Fang, annoyed. They were all annoyed with each other. Usually, the flock just broke in and beat up everyone in sight. Now, they needed to be calm and non-violent, something that Max had never attempted.

"Okay, here is how this is going to go. We are going to wait a mile outside the building and, when the truck gets close, we hijack it and drive it to the building's garage. From there, we sneak into the garage entry and I'll lead you into Dr. Boyd's office. Sound like a plan?" asked Bryce. Max, Dylan, Fang and even Iggy nodded in agreement. It was a very good plan. Bryce smiled.

"When do we leave?" asked Fang.

"Now," answered Iggy simply. He stood and headed to the exit. The flock looked at him. "I said now, guys."

Dr. Boyd sat in his office, filling out paperwork. He looked at his watch, which read 5:30 pm. One and a half hours until Subject 79's retirement. It was such a shame to retire such a successful experiment. But, he had to do it, considering how many flaws it had. It was not loyal enough to its creators. And its appearance was not, so to say, good enough. Jeb had argued with Boyd, but Boyd threatened to fire Jeb. That was the end of it. Boyd liked having power over Jeb. How he hated Jeb. Jeb was a butt-kisser, a sap, and he formed relationships with the experiments. And he stole the mutants.

Suddenly, the door flew open. There stood five teenage kids, one of them was his nephew. "Bryce, how are you?" asked Boyd casually. The tallest of the group grabbed Boyd's collar with one hand, and clenched the other into a fist and raised it high. Boyd stayed silent, but his expression was terrified.

"You need to answer a couple questions for us," said Bryce calmly, a smirk on his face.

"Why did you kill her?" growled the tall one.

Boyd started shaking. "K-kill who?"

"Bambina."

It all became clear to Boyd. The boy about to punch him in the face was Iggy. Poor, blind Iggy. Boyd took a closer look at the group of teens, and identified them immediately. There was Max, Fang, Dylan, Iggy, and Bryce. It made perfect sense now.

"You've come to collect Subject 79?" asked Boyd.

"Collect her? What are you talking about? You killed her...right?" asked Max.

A sly smile crossed Boyd's face. "Subject 79 was retired this morning. Are you here to collect her body?" Boyd answered, lying through his teeth.

"Why did you kill her?" Iggy barked, raising his voice.

"There were too many flaws. Her physical appearance, his disloyalty to Itex. The list goes on and on."

"Her physical appearance? You killed her because of what she looked like?" asked Fang, furious.

Iggy suddenly freaked out. He clapped his hand over Boyd's mouth. And lifted his head, deep in concentration.

"Iggy, what are you..." began Max, but Iggy held his finger to her mouth. The room became very silent. After what seemed like forever, Iggy spoke.

"You're a liar, Dr. Boyd. A dirty, smelly liar. I can hear her," whispered Iggy. And with that, the flock and Bryce ran out the door.

Iggy led the way through the halls of Itex. As he became closer, the Bambina's soft sobs became more and more audible. Was it her? Was he dreaming? Probably. But as he became closer, it became clear that this was no dream. The rest of the flock was actually having trouble keeping up. He ran in her general direction. His heart raced. Now, Iggy could clearly make out her crying. A big goofy smile crossed his face. He suddenly stopped, and everyone slammed into his back, creating sort of a domino effect. "We're usually way better at this," said Fang to Bryce. Max looked at Iggy. He was slowly standing, and he pressed his ear to a the door.

Yes, it was definitely Bambina. He could smell her. How was this real?

Iggy crashed through the door. The sobbing stopped. "Iggy!" Her voice rang through his ears. Her sweet, beautiful voice.

Dylan tumbled through the door, panting like a dog. "Hey, guys."

"Untie her!" shouted Iggy. Dylan untied the straps as quickly as he could.

Bambina crashed into Iggy. Iggy pulled her close. He couldn't believe it was she pressed against him. He couldn't believe she was alive. But it was her; he could hear the almost-silent sound of her heart beating.

"Aw, how sweet. Now, let's go before the guards get to us," said Max.

The finally reunited flock dashed through the halls of Itex. Iggy held onto Max's belt loop, while Bambina held his wrist. She was having trouble absorbing the situation. How had they found her? She heard loud running from behind them. "Guys! Behind us!" she shouted.

"Oh, how FREAKING WONDERFUL!" yelled Max sarcastically. Bambina smiled, for she missed Max's sarcasm.

Then, there were footsteps coming at them. At least 60 guards were coming at them from all side.

"Even FREAKING BETTER!" screamed Max in frustration.

A guard shot at Bambina's ankle and missed. She let go of Iggy's wrist and punched the shooter in the jaw. She felt two teeth rip out of the guard's gums. Bambina heard another come up from behind her, and she reached back, grabbed the man's wrist, and pulled his arm out of his socket. As she was doing this, she kicked backwards and she felt the glorious feel of her boot coming into contact with a man's gut. The others joined her in fighting. She threw her fist out and hit a guard in neck. Bambina was enjoying every second of brawling. Ah, sweet revenge! Bambina thought as her elbow hit someone in the stomach. "Iggy," she called as she round house kicked a guy.

"Yes?" he called back in a worried tone.

She smiled. "This is the best date EVER!"

Iggy laughed. She could tell that he was about ten feet away. A firm hand grabbed her shoulder. Bambina grabbed his hand, bent down, and flung the man over her shoulder. As he hit the ground, a loud and satisfying thud was heard.

Max glanced at Bambina while she kneed a man where it hurts. She hadn't expected Bambina to be so good at hand to hand combat. It was as if Bambina knew where each individual attacker was. As Max socked a man across the jaw, she quickly glanced over at Bambina, who was happily elbowing a man in the neck. Wow.

Happy ending for this chapter. Next chapter will not be as happy. I might update faster if I get more reviews.
