A/N: Thanks so much everyone whose read this! Y'all are great! So, I think I like the way the last chapter worked out and I gonna try to keep up writing like that. :) Lemme know if it isn't to your liking! Well, anyway, the story and plot line do belong to me, as I stated earlier, but sadly, quite a few of the characters don't. They belong to the genius, James Patterson, who really should get his butt in gear and pump out another novel, I mean who wasn't totally heart-broken and disappointed after Fang, I sure as heck was! Okay! Disclaimer over, now it's story time so settle down and enjoy!

Memories of the shenanigans Fang and I did over the years started bubbling to the surface at the gas station. It's a wonder neither of us actually had a record by now. I mean we weren't really bad kids, but we did get ourselves into some nasty situations. Of course most of the time it had to be Fang's idea to get into mischief, but regardless of whose idea it was I was always his second-in-command. Another thing I loved about him.

Too lost in my thoughts, I hadn't even realized someone had entered the car, of course by now I should know better then to day dream, after all the trouble I've been in, but sometimes a girl just can't help herself. So, when did I notice there was someone else in the car? When they shoved a rag over my mouth and nose and I blacked out.

To this day I really am not sure how long I was out cold. I woke up a few hours later in a storehouse with no windows or doors, meaning no accurate way to gauge how much time had passed. Also with my hands tied behind my back there was no option of checking a watch or cell for the time. My captors had even kindly the clock for the large room they were keeping me in. However, they were kind enough to leave me a mattress pad, a small bowl for I don't even want to know what, and a cell-mate.

While I was very groggy, this lovely cell-mate wasn't, as soon as I was awake she was talking and never stopped. There was a point when I debated if this cell-mate was supposed to be a form of torture for me. It seemed like it, her incessant blathering made it impossible to even think. After three hours I snapped.

"Is it possible for you to go three freaking seconds without talking?" I had had enough, so I nearly screamed that at her.

Her face fell and she looked crushed for a minute, then quietly said, "Oh, it's too possible. At home I was never allowed to say a word, I guess now since I can talk I've gone a little over board." She looked crest-fallen.

I sighed, my freaking conscience was telling me to apologize again, I'm such a sap. "Look I'm sorry for snapping, I'm just not used to people talking to me, it makes me slightly irritated."

"Oh." She still looked sad.

Cursing myself mentally up one side and down the other I spoke up again, "Why don't you tell me more about yourself."

Her face instantly brightened as she launched into a very detailed history of herself. During a particular back story about her cousins boyfriend and how her uncles flipped out when they found out her boyfriend had served time in prison and something occurred to me. Gosh, I really need to think more this should have occurred to me a long time ago!

"Hey, Penny, I really hate to interrupt you but I might have a way out of here, I just need silence for it."

Her eyes lit up but she remained silent for me as I explained about how Fang and I communicated. She nodded excitedly when I asked her if she thought my plan could work. I muttered "Wonderful" in a congratulatory way to myself, since I might just be able to save us. I felt very brave and proud. Quietly I tried to search out Fang's mind.

When I found him he seemed to be resting. Of course, it had to be about one o'clock. He always napped in sixth period, that must be where he was now, and I had to figure out some way to wake him. Gently I started prodding his mind, trying to coerce him to wake up. Finally it did, Fang was a little muddled at first though, which was a bit annoying in the situation.

Fang? Fang? Hello?

Huh? What? Max, oh hey, what's up? I groaned out loud, he wasn't always the brightest one, and I'm pretty sure he started by trying to say part of that out loud.

Can you sense where I am? Like ever? I had to ask him first, it was the only way my plan could work.

His response took a while and was preceded by information I would have normally laughed at, but in the current situation found a bit annoying.

Max, thanks a bunch! You woke me up just in time so the teacher never caught me sleeping! You're the best. And secondly sometimes. It all depends, I started trying back before you moved but I think S might have put a blocker on you so even I can't trace you.

"Damnit!" I spoke out loud and startled myself, as well as Penny, "Whoops, sorry. Sort of an unconscious reaction thing, ha."

Penny looked up at me curiously, "What caused that reaction?" her eyes were wide with curiosity.

"Fang says he thinks someone put a blocker on me so no one can trace me, including him." I explained ominously.

Her eyes grew wider, if this girls gets any more news her eyes might just take over her entire face!

Max? Max, are you there? I know you're upset. Why did you ask? Here was the side of Fang I loved most of all, the caring side. He was concerned, and I felt bad. I never see this side cause I'm also so happy with him he has no need to be concerned for me. I sighed out loud again.

You have to relax and try to take control of my body, it's the only way I can show you. I thought for a minute. Fang had tried once before to take over my body to tease me, but he wasn't relaxed enough to make it work right. But if he succeeds this time, poor little Penny might be a little more then freaked out if I start randomly acting like Fang, or checking out my own body.

"Hey, Penny. There's something you should be warned of, I'm about to try to have Fang take over my body, so if 'I' start acting weird, let me know so I can yell at Fang later, please?" I had put air quotes around 'I' because it wouldn't technically be me acting odd, but it would look like it.

She paled a little but nodded confidently. I beamed at her and then closed my eyes, it only took a few seconds to feel his presence once I started to relax.

Are you sure about this? He was scared and I felt awful for causing that fear but there was nothing else I could do.

Yes. After that one simple word there was the strangest sensation all over my body. It felt like it should hurt, but it didn't, it almost tickled. And then there I was watching a scene before me, almost like it was right out of a movie. I could see the characters, but they couldn't see me. The stars were Penny, and me.

I'll tell you the first thing Fang did when he had full control of my body was look down my shirt. The pig, he could have just asked, so typical of him. Then he looked around and I could see comprehension dawning on his face, it was slightly amusing at first.

"You have a warped sense of humor you know." I gasped in shock and looked down to see Fang, glaring at me, as me. Weirdest experience ever! That's when it hit me, "You can hear me?"

He nodded, and his body language was rather sarcastic, which I really didn't appreciate, since it was my body after all.

"Oh, suck it up, this was your doing remember?" he glared again, which made me giggle.

"Right, can she hear me?" I nodded to Penny.

He nodded 'no' and I was rather confused, "If she can't hear me, then why is she looking over here with that confused look?"

He sighed, "To her it looks like you're communicating with an empty space," and then I understood, my mind is still attached to my body somehow that's why he can hear me, but other than that I'm nothing.

He looked sad when I realized that, but I just motioned for him to have Penny explain everything to him. While she was talking, I began to cautiously explore my limits in this astral ghost form thing. I made it all the way to the wall when I realized I had so many more options now. So what did I do? I took advantage of Penny's motor-mouth and started plotting escape routes.

When I was satisfied with the routes and emergency routes I found, I returned to find Penny wrapping up her story.

Perfect timing, I mused, and then motioned for Fang to walk to me.

He had a perplexed look on my face but didn't disobey. "I have a plan. Once I explain this all to you I want you to leave my body immediately, then return to your house, pack up three travel spells, and bring them to the address I tell you. We're going to escape. And I know exactly how."

When I finished explaining my plan, Fang just looked at me in awe, and after a while, uttered the highest praise one could you receive from him, "I never knew you were such a master mind! You're a genius!"

I smiled deviously, and told him to give me my body back. It was time to put my master-mind plan to work.
