Okay, so it's not Saturday, but I had a full schedule then, so I couldn't get to a computer. As for the shortness of my chapters, I'm sorry. I'll try and make this one longer, kay? Thank you guys for my 27 REVIEWS! I feel so special!

I don't own Maximum Ride.

Chapter 6

I was devastated. Destroyed. Shattered. I felt like I had been torn in two. My other half was missing, kidnapped and they were doing God knows what to him.

When the School had first taken Angel, I had felt like there was a piece of me missing. But it was nothing compared to this. They had swooped to a new low.

I spent the next day locked up in my room, crying until my eyes ran dry, then the flock finally were able to coax me from my sanctuary for dinner. I was silent and I could tell that everyone was whispering about me. But I didn't care.

After dinner, I called everyone for a meeting in the living room. We had to discuss what we were going to do now. Where we were going. How we would find the School and get Fang back.

"You think they could still be in Germany?" Nudge offered when we got to where the School might be located.

"Maybe…" I said skeptically. They could be on the moon and I wouldn't feel any better.

"I don't think they would use the same headquarters, though," Iggy said, "They'd want to be somewhere new, somewhere we wouldn't guess easily."

"You're probably right… but that puts us back at square one."

Try South Dakota.

Just when I need it!

Perfect. Thank you so much!

Now that I thought about it, South Dakota was probably the last place we'd look. Somewhere secluded in the Midwest, sparsely populated, somewhere the School hadn't tried before. A spark of hope was ignited in my chest. Finally, I had a mission.

"South Dakota," I said, a smile creeping over my frown, "We're going to South Dakota."

"Why South Dakota? Do they have a hidden facility in Mount Rushmore? Like in National Treasure?" Nudge came on at full blast with the questions.

"Voice says so. South Dakota."

We were packed up by the next morning. We said our goodbyes to Mom and Ella, with lots of hugging and kissing exchanged. Mom reminded me that I could call her on my cell phone anytime and told me to take advantage of the credit card she had given me. She didn't approve of us sleeping in trees.

I brought Fang's bag with his laptop and some extra clothes in it. I was confident we were going to find him and get him out of there, wherever there was. I would never leave a team member behind, or let them get stolen by the enemy.

As we took off, I began to wonder why they didn't take all of us. I began to let my mind wander on the fact that, maybe they were doing something bigger than they had let on.

As it is vacation, I will put up another chapter on Wednesday (this time I promise I will), because I have a dentist appointment tomorrow. The next chapter, you get to see what's happening to Fang. I won't kill him, don't worry.
