A/N: Okay, next chapter. Once again, SHORT! GASP! However the shortness of each chapter makes it easier to update quicker. (I'm a reeaallyy slow typer, and right now the story is just written in my Creative Writing journal.) But yeah, things pick up a bit faster after this chappie, so read and review. (BTW thanx to all the marvelous people who gave me reviews. You are the best.)
Disclaimer: I do not own Maximum Ride or any of it's awesomeness. That makes me sad.
Well, here we go. Also, a little piece of info you may not known about the Capital Building has been sneaked in. Sneaked in? Who am I kidding… it's right down there… but it's true!
Chapter Two:
You may not know this, but in the Capital Building there are 100 statues, two for each state, of important people to that states history and current culture. I saw them when we went on a field trip there back in DC. And get this: among all the scientists, and politicians, and doctors is Willis Courrier, inventor of air conditioning, representing Florida.
Willis was put in there for a good reason.
"Aah! Now that's better," Total sighed, laying down on the cold linoleum floor. I shot the dog a "be quiet!" look and scanned the post office for possible Erasers. None here. Just some bored clerks, people in line holding packages, (also bored), and part of my flock, staring out the window for Fang and Gasman with our food and supplies. Well, not Iggy. He was leaning against the wall, enjoying the stiff, library-ish silence of a U.S. Postal Service Office. He and Total were in they're "blind person" get-up, Iggy with his sunglasses and Total wearing the "Guide Dog at Work" jacket, mostly so Total wouldn't get kicked out. But the clerks didn't really looked like they cared. Probably trying to save some of their sanity.
"Don't see 'em," Nudge muttered, hands pressed against the cool glass. "What's taking them so long?"
"Probably just long lines at Wal-Mart," I said, secretly worrying that they'd been attacked by Erasers or they'd done something wrong and rent-a-cop security guards had nabbed them or that-
"Excuse me," a woman said, brushing past as she walked through the entrance. I scooted away from the door I was blocking, glancing back at her, and then froze, my mouth dropping open.
No… it couldn't be…
A/N again: Wow, that's an evil cliffhanger. Well, if you remember the summary, it's probably pretty obvious, but if you haven't read the summary or if you forgot, MWA MWA MWA, I'm so demented! Review please, or else I'll use my impressive satanic powers and force you to do it. Yeah. Please?
