Chapter 11- the rescue, (almost...)
Tobias
We flew... with the exception of April (and Nikkei who had been rescued from school), who, in fact, rode on Cassie in horse morph.
"This way," April muttered, as to not have Nikkei hear.
Cassie relayed the message in thought-speak to our flock of robins and a red-tailed hawk. We had acquired them after Cassie had grabbed one in fox morph. Yes; she has a fox morph. Now, anyway...
We turned, flying over April's street. We hoped to get at least Allison to safety, if not Allison and her parents.
Here's the plan: Marco, in gorilla morph, would grab Allison and/or her parents with some clothes who will have been drowned out by Jake in tiger morph, and find a hiding place, probably the one under Streefland that the other Animorphs and their families used. Nikkei would go with them. April would grab clothes for all of them, money, the books, and erase all data of Freak Apple's fanfictions off of all the computers. Then she would return to John, who would lead her to where we were, under Streefland. I would fly cover.
Eventually, we reached her house, taking a long route through what April called "behind the fence," which was very aptly named. A barbed-wire fence was along the backside of her yard, separating us from the house. Cassie jumped over it; it wasn't very tall, and they got off.
April said, "Nikkei, grab some clothes, then come with me."
Nikkei wasn't easily persuaded.
"No, I don't want to. You're not the boss of me..."
(Arggg... I wish I didn't have to do this...) Marco said sarcastically, already remorphed. His cinder-block arm fell on Nikkei's head.
"I want my mommy..." Nikkei said, dazed. Then she fell over, unconscious.
"I'll grab her stuff. You guys go."
April snuck in.
Jake and Marco took their positions.
(Go,) Rachel relayed a message sent by April. Jake charged in.
The others dragged Nikkei into the hiding spot. Rachel, in fly morph, hooked on to me, sitting on their deck.
"AHHHHHHHH—" We heard from the inside.
(Allison's out.) Marco said. (The parents aren't in there.)
(Good,) Jake said. (Let's move out.)
I saw Marco carry Allison out, Jake following. (Hurry, April!)
"Done!" I heard her call.
She ran out, carrying two suitcases and a pillowcase full of books.
One suitcase went to Rachel, who had demorphed. The other went to John in chimpanzee morph. April carried the books.
"Gafrath!"
Hork-Bajir!!!!
