I want to apologize in advance... my brain is fried right now... im so wiped i cant even think of something sarcastic... thats bad 4 me... Nudge & Angel soon...zzzzzzz
I watched Fang and Jeb stride down the hall in a determined manner.
Aww they look alike. Their determination, anyway. Those little saving-the-world driven people.
I glanced at Nohemi on my right, Marcus on my left. We were a far cry from the saving-the-worlders in front of us. Marcus had his hands in his pockets, ambling in his loping stride. Nohemi was nodding her head, making her feet tap out a beat with each step. And me? I was just strolling as if I was used to walking in top secret bases.
Oh wait… I was.
That is kind of pathetic if you think about it.
I heard a squeal and saw Marcus stop. He jumped, having stepped on something?
"Crap." He said. "I just stepped on a dog. I wonder if it's okay."
"So I'm an It now."
I recognized that annoying little voice. I pushed Marcus aside to reveal a little black Scottish terrier.
"Hey, Total. How is it in the day in the life of a dog?" I smirked. I was enjoying Total's anger. He was always funny when he was angry.
"D-did that dog just talk?" Marcus gasped.
"Marcus, meet Total. Total this is my good friend Marcus." I introduced them.
"For your information, Marcus, I am not just a dog. I am a highly intelligent member of this team. I expect to be treated with respect."
Wow is it just me, or did that dog get more snobby over the years?
"Well I'll be. That dog is cooler than a pack of ice." Nohemi cooed.
Total looked at her suspiciously. "Was that a compliment?"
"You know it bro." She grinned. Total did some kind of doggy grin.
"So Maximum, I see you are still alive."
"Sadly." I shrugged.
He paused then turned to Fang. "I can escort them to their rooms now."
"But-"
"I can assure you, that Maximum Ride and her guests will not be of any problem."
Wow, Total where did you get that vocabulary?
Fang shrugged and Jeb and him turned and walked down another corridor.
Total began rambling off facts about the underground faculty. Nohemi kept asking him questions. You could tell he was happy about that fact. But something just had to barge in and ruin our "fun". Something always does.
Nudge and Angel.
