Mom hurried out to the furnished hallway, Fang and I following closely behind. She then looked through the peephole and opened the door to let Jeb in. After quick greetings were exchanged and coats were taken and put away, Mom lead us into her cramped mess hall. We all sat down, and waited impatiently for Jeb to begin.
He opened up his breifcase and passes out some papers, a stack for Fang and I and one for himself and Mom.
I glanced over them, glimpsing at word and soaking it all in. Experimemts, reproduce, mission, plans were all words that popped out at me. After I was done glancing over the documents, I shared a look at Fang, and glanced over at Jeb. He was looking at us with a grave look on his tattered face. "Explain, Jeb. Right now." I said firmly. I could feel Fang tense next to me as the tension in the room rose up a notch.
He nodded and began a speech. "Itex is coming back. Regrouping, nursing their wounds, they have moved their leader branch to Virginia, about an hour away from DC. Their lab is mostly underground, in manmade caves. It is about five hundred miles undernieth the Earth, and streaches all the way into parts of Kentucky and Tennesee. Maximum," he said looking strait at me. "You must stop them. They are regrouging, rebuilding. They are making hybrids, more by the hour. To capture you and the Flock. They are making perfect humans, like Omega, and procedung with the By-Half Plan. Do you understand? If you don't complete this mission sucessfully, the fate of the world will be at stake, and life as we know it will change."
Well he doesn't beat around the bush much, does he?
I sighed. "So basically, you're telling me that we've gotta get in there, without anyone noticing us, plant some of Iggy and the Gasman's new creation, get out, then blow it up?" I asked in my usual down-to-Earth tone. I heard two whispered shouts of joy and the sound of two recombinant's palms slapping together. Brother.
"Oh, and another thing," Mom began, catching my nod. "Iggy's blindness. is there any way to cure it?"
Jeb took a deep breath. "Yes."
That's when we heard the bang from outside the door.
"Max! Iggy fainted!" called Nudge. Fang and I rushed out to the door to see the damage.
But by the time we got there, Iggy was already up, and his dull, sightless eyes shined with excitement. "Are you guys serious? Awesome! When were you going to tell me?" He and the Gasman slapped a high five.
I rolled my eyes and said to the cook of the flock, "Yeah, we're serious. We thought that you might want to see Ella blush everytime you look at her," I smirked as the both of them looked down at the floor, turning a crisom red. "Anyways, we were going to tell you after we got things locked down, had a final answer, you know..." I trailed off. I turned around, so I was looking at the possible traitor and my mother. "Do you think that we could maybe bring our little party to the living room so the rest of the flock could hear it without evesdropping?"
Jeb nodded and went to get his stuff and set up on the living room. Five minutes later, we were all seated in various seats-Gazzy and Nudge in the loveseat (with Angel on Nudge's lap). Iggy, Ella (who was next to him on the arm), Mom, and Jeb squashed into the beaten up couch, while Fang and I sat on pillows.
"So..." I began, not sure where to start.
"Max, I can make calls, try to get someone that will help, but I cannot make any promises. Okay?" Jeb said as he looked at me.
Fang and I looked at each other, then at Iggy. "Iggy, how do you feel about this?" I asked him gently.
He nodded so fast I thought that his head was going to fall off. "He-eck yeah!"
I rolled my eyes at his language correct, but said nothing.
Since no one knew what to say, Mom tried to fill the silence. "Jeb, we haven't had lunch yet, so would you like to join us?"
"Sure. I'd be glad to." He answered.
"Alright," said Mom. She got up and went over into the cupon box. "Alright, guys, come and pick what you want!"
After that, all you could hear was the sound of pounding feet running to the kitchen.

Alright guys, I know that it's been, oh, about, a month since I updated-probably longer...well...here it is. I will try to update about once every week or so, but I'm not making any promises. So...for the next chapter, I need at least ten reviews...ok? Other ways, I won't know if you liked it or not, and I won't know if I should update it or not, let alone continue it! Enjoy!
