Prisoner- Chapter 70

"Fang's alive."

Angel climbed off my lap and I stood, making my way over to the Gasman.

"But Jeb said Fang died." Nudge said. "Unless he was lying and then I guess he could…"

"Nudge!" I yelled to get her to be quiet.

She looked over at me and immediately became quiet.

"How do you know he's alive Gazzy?" I asked looking down at the smiling eight year old.

"I saw him in an all white room. It looked kind of like a hospital room, except I think it was here at the school. A whitecoat was in the room recording something on a chart."

"What about Fang, did he look okay?" I asked desperately.

"Yeah, he was sleeping."

I let out a breath I'd been holding.

"We need to get out of here." I said beginning to search the room for a way out.

"Max, wait there's more." Gazzy called out to me.

I turned to look at him.

"I saw us, we found him." He said with a bright smile.

"That's very good news." I said smiling back.

I walked over to him and took him in my arms, squeezing him tightly.

"Good job, Gazzer." I heard Iggy say.

"You just gave us hope, Gazzy." I said pulling away from him to look into his sparkling blue eyes that matched his sister's.

I placed a kiss on top of his head and walked over to the door.

I had no idea how we were going to get out of here. Right now the best option seemed to be waiting for Jeb to come back with his group of erasers and fight them.

The door opened in front of me.

Well, that was a short wait.

I saw Jeb standing in front of me with three erasers. The erasers walked over to me and grabbed me, pulling me from the room and down the hallway. I struggled in their grasp.

"Don't struggle, Maximum." Jeb said looking kind of sad.

I didn't listen.

"Yeah right." I spat.

I felt one of the eraser's claws digging into my arm and I cried out in pain.

Jeb stopped in front of us making the erasers stop with me. He looked back at us and saw the blood on my arm. I could see he wasn't happy.

"I told you not to hurt her." He said to the eraser holding my left arm.

I decided to take this as my chance to escape. I could take on three erasers… right?

I stepped on the eraser to my right's instep and flung my elbow into his stomach. He released his hold and I flung my elbow back to hit the eraser behind me in the nose. I hit my target perfectly and the eraser let go of me. One more and I was free to run.

"Maximum stop!" Jeb ordered.

"Since when have I ever listened to you?" I yelled turning to the last eraser and kicking him in the ribs. I heard two cracks and he doubled over in pain.

I gave Jeb one last look and ran down the hallway to where the flock was still trapped in that room I had been in just before.

Turns out I got very lucky. The door opened by pushing one little square white button, unlike the ones at Itex that opened by entering the correct code in a keypad.

I pressed the button and the doors opened.

"Let's go!" I yelled waving them out of the room.

Nudge came running out with Iggy, Gazzy, and Angel behind her.

"Okay, we got to find Fang." I said looking at our surroundings as we ran. "Gazzy, did you see anything that could help us find him?"

"His room number was A04." He called running behind me.

I looked at one of the rooms as I passed by it read C01. I stopped meeting a dead end where we could go left or right. I looked at the sign on the wall, B sections were to the left and A sections were to the right.

"This way." I said turning right.

I looked at the nearest room, the number was A09, so I kept running.

I watched as we passed A07 and A05 then stopped when I reached A03. The room was on my right, so I turned to my left. The room read A04.

This was Fang's room.
