Wow!!! (blinks and looks at reviews again) Thanks everybody who reviewed
the last chapter…I'm chuffed to bits! I'm so glad that you all liked it so
I thought I'd better get on with the next chapter. Enough of my rambling,
on with the story. Oh, and I have a title now (woohoo), its not a great
title but it'll do.

1.1 Chapter Two
Mallory spent the whole journey in the Migrator glaring burning holes into the back of Nosedive's head. How dare he pull a prank on her first thing in the morning, and how on Puckworld did he gain access to her showergel in her room!!! She averted her gaze to glare at Duke, bet he and his lock picking had something to do with it. She told Wildwing from the start that letting Duke 'pass on a few skills' was a bad idea. He must have been aware of her staring at him and turned to meet her gaze for a second before turning away with a hint of fear in his eyes. She smirked, satisfied before reverting back to glaring at Dive. Oh…he is sooo dead when she gets her hands on him.
As the Migrator pulled up outside the mall Tanya (who had spent the journey studying Drake One's readings) spoke up with concern in her voice. "I don't get it… back at the pond it reported a disturbance but now…nothing" she looked up at Wildwing had turned to face the team. "Perhaps it's a…er… false alarm" she suggested.
"Perhaps" The leader replied frowning slightly, "We should go and check it out anyway, be on your guard everyone but don't draw any attention to yourselves, the last thing we want to do is panic shoppers." He had mainly aimed this last statement at Dive knowing his little brother's acting before thinking attitude. Dive merely groaned and looked at his feet. "We'll go in 2 groups, Tanya, Grin, your with me, we'll do the ground floor. Mallory, Duke and Dive, you stay together and check out the first floor. Contact on the comms every 5 minutes." He saw Mallory's face drop when he put her with Dive, he purposefully put them together though to try and make them get along. (It'll never happen) a voice in his head told him, oh well, that's partly why he put Duke in with them, he was pretty level headed and should keep them from killing each other. "Ok, move out team".
When they got out of the Migrator Tanya, Grin and Wildwing instantly got together and entered the Mall main entrance, walking casually but aware of everything around them. Duke sighed and turned to his teammates. "We should probably go through the other way" he suggested before realizing that they weren't paying any attention to him, instead they were standing as far away from each other as possible, Mal staring at Dive and Dive looking anywhere else but Mallory. 'Oh great', Duke muttered in his head, 'thanks a lot Wildwing!'. "Come on kids. Put it aside for now so we can get on with our job then when we get back I promise you can carry on falling out" He said aloud with a hint of sarcasm in his voice.
Dive was the first to give in and walked over to Duke, avoiding Mal's eyes all the way. He stood next to the older mallard and stared at the mall, pretending to study it for suspicious activity but secretly happy in the knowledge that Duke would keep him safe from Mallory.
"Come on Mal-mal, we gotta go and check this out" Dive said fearfully, he could still feel her angry glare.
Mallory somewhat reluctantly joined the pair, 'I'm only doing this because I have to' she told herself and lead them around to the side entrance of the mall, walking quickly so they had to work to keep up. On entering the three stopped for a second to survey their surroundings, a few shoppers turned to look at them but then carried on. Mallory didn't stop for long and made her way briskly over to the escalators, glancing over her shoulder to check the others were still with her.
* * *
Siege, Wraith and Chameleon stood on the roof of the mall looking down through the huge glass ceiling at the 2 groups of ducks. "We'll get them as they leave" Siege muttered to the other two. "Do you have the spell ready?"
"I always do" Wraith chuckled evilly.
* * *
After about 20 minutes of searching the mall and keeping in regular contact, the ducks hadn't found anything. Well, Mallory had spotted a nice new outfit in one store window, Grin was overjoyed to see a new meditation crystal had arrived at his favourite shop and Nosedive had bumped into Thrash and Mookie and told them about today's prank for which they praised him…much to the distaste of Mal. But they hadn't found any signs of the saurians. " Alright guys, regroup outside the main entrance" Wildwing sighed, another false alarm.
When the team was back together Wildwing could see that Mal and Dive were still not talking to each other, he looked at Duke whose eye held a mixture of tiredness and a plea for help. Wing silently laughed, the two youngest members were certainly a handful most of the time. " Come on then guys, back to the Migrator" Wing smiled letting the others pass so he could walk with Duke. " How are you keeping Duke?" he teased.
"Don't even talk to me until I get some painkillers, they've given me a splitting headache" he mumbled warily rubbing his forehead and laughing. "Thanks for lumbering me with them" he added dryly.
"Only did it because I knew you could handle it".
"Yeah? Well, let me tell you…" Duke cut himself short when he heard a sound come from above them.
He and Wing whirled around and tried to see what was going on but were not far enough away from the building to see what was happening. Duke then saw a flare of red light appear over the edge and shoot down towards the team as he heard Dive scream.
"MAAALLLL!!!"

Ok, so I'm not great at cliffhangers but never mind. Read and Review, let me know what you think! I'm going to go eat some chocolate before I set to work on the next chapter. : D
