Fang POV

When Dr. Martinez saw us walk into the garden she was not impressed! She was watering the plants when Nudge, Total and I stepped out from behind the trees. When she saw us she immediately jumped up and rushed over to hug us.

After she hugged me she quickly pulled back and stared at my half extended wing.

"Fang, I told you that you should rest a bit longer before you took off to save Gazzy! Come inside quickly and we'll fix you up," She exclaimed as she hurried us quickly into the house.

Great, that's exactly what I needed, Dr. Martinez fussing over me. I thought.

"Nudge, Total there are some cookies on the kitchen table and milk in the fridge. Go and help yourselves while I fix up Fang," she said as she led me towards the bathroom.

I sat on the edge of the tub and as I extended my wing I winced, it still hurt like crazy. Dr. Martinez picked up a wet washer and started to clean my wound.

"Where are Iggy and Angel?" She asked without looking away from my wing. Some of my primary feathers were wet with my blood because it had dripped down from my gash.

"They went to go rescue Gazzy." I mumbled as I stared at the ground. I knew that she wasn't going to be very happy with that.

Dr. Martinez stopped cleaning and looked up at me with a shocked expression on her face.

"By themselves?!" She asked in disbelief. I looked her in the eyes before nodding. She drew in a sharp breath and then went back to work.

"I am going to go help them as soon as my wing is healed," I muttered and looked down at the ground again.

"Okay," she answered quietly. "But it will be a week until your wing is better, Fang, even with your amazing healing abilities." She said quietly as she went over to the sink. She washed her hands and came back with the antiseptic. She gently smoothed it over my cut.

When she was finished, I carefully folded my wing against my back.

"Thanks," I muttered as I got up and walked toward the living room.

"No probs," she answered before I left.

A week......... I thought to myself as I headed down the hall.

A week that I don't have.........

Gazzy POV

When I woke up the next morning I was feeling a lot better. The gash in my leg was now a scar, my rib was a bit sore, but I could handle it, and my head wasn't throbbing anymore like it was yesterday.

I was leaning against Max's shoulder and she had her arm around me. She was still asleep, so I didn't move. I just lay there with her, thankful that she was here, alive. I let my mind wander, not really caring what I thought about. I started by trying to remember more information about what happened while I was in the truck.

Nudge screaming...............two gunshots.............Iggy crying out in pain...........

Well, I thought that I heard three people land in the truck.......so the last person was most likely Fang.

The gunshot could've hit Nudge..........but she didn't sound like she was in pain, more like 'scared.'

So that means that one probably hit Fang and Nudge screamed, so there was a chance that Fang.............

And then I heard Iggy, but his scream was definitely pain so that means..............

My eyes instantly opened at that thought.

NO!

I wasn't going to believe that they were dead, it wasn't possible. Not Fang and Iggy.

I realized that my breathing and heart had become faster, and Max must have noticed it too because she started to stir.

"Morning Gaz, you okay?" she asked drowsily.

I moved off of her shoulder and stretched my arms above my head.

"Uh-huh," I answered quietly.

She narrowed her eyes at me suspiciously. Max knew me too well.........

"Fine," I said rolling my eyes. "I think that I know what happened on the truck.

She looked at me and waited for my explanation. I sighed and told her everything about what I thought had happened that day. When I finished she looked at me with wide eyes but her face was soft.

"Gaz, I am sure that they are fine. This is Fang and Ig that we are talking about here; they wouldn't have gone down that easily." But I saw the fear in her eyes as she said these words. She was just as afraid as I was. The thing about Max was that she was an excellent liar, even if she wasn't sure about anything herself.

I nodded as I got up and went over to the door. When we were talking I noticed that some food had been slid under the door through that slot. I picked up the tray and brought it back to where we were sitting. I sat down and Max and I began to eat in silence.

Even though I didn't believe in god, I was praying that Iggy and Fang were all right.

They just had to be.

Iggy POV

I heard the larger explosion, followed by a whole lot more explosions that went off at one second intervals. It was one of the best things that I had heard in two weeks! Although, I missed having Gazzy here to explain what it looked like to fill me in on the extra details, cause I knew that Angel wasn't really interested in this sort of thing and probably couldn't explain it as well as Gazzy could.

"Did I get them all?" I asked excitedly sounding like I was in the middle of a freaking video game waiting to see if I got the high score, not that I could actually play a video game, but, you know.

"Yep," she answered shortly. "You hit about twenty with the bomb and the others exploded on impact, you got them all."

I punched the air as I shouted, "YES!" I was on a roll!

I heard her giggle. "Come on Iggy, it's almost morning. Let's go rescue Gazzy!"

"Okay," I said as I tucked my wings in dropped a few feet while I put my pack back on. "Let's go."

"We're here," said Angel as we were circling the school.

I felt a shiver go up my spine as I realized where we were. Sure, I couldn't see it, but I could almost sense that we were at the worst possible place you could ever think to be.

I took a deep breath.

"Anywhere we can land without being seen?" I asked, trying to keep my voice from shaking.

"Yep, down here," she answered as she headed down. I followed her and we came to a not so graceful landing near the building. As soon as my legs hit the ground, I felt a sudden pain rush through my knee. I ignored it and followed Angel's light footsteps which, I was guessing, were heading toward the school.

She took my hand in her small one and led me around a corner, we then stopped. I heard her shake a door knob.

"Its locked," she breathed.

"Well, it's a top secret facility, Ange, you think that it would be locked." I said quietly rolling my eyes. "To tell you the truth, I would be worried about their mental health if it wasn't locked, not that they're not crazy enough as it is." I said shaking my head. I heard her giggle as I took off my back pack and started to search through it for my lock picking kit. I found it quickly and opened it up. I then ran my fingers along the door until I found the handle, and then the lock. I felt the size of it and then chose the tool that I thought would be best for the job. I then got to work.

A few minutes later, the lock made a 'click' noise, and I carefully turned the door handle. The door opened silently as I waited for the sound of screaming, Flyboy's growling or sirens.

Silence.

I frowned, this was odd. I thought that it would be a bit more high security than this. I guess that they weren't protected against fourteen year old and a six year old bird kids. So much for insurance.

Angel took my hand again and led me into the school. As soon as we walked through the door, we were hit with that familiar antiseptic smell. It was as if there was a wall of it in the doorframe because we couldn't smell it from outside.

It was quiet. All I could hear was the sound of my and Angel's footsteps walking cautiously down the white hall (yes, the blind kid can get color descriptive. I had lived here for fourteen years, I know what color the freaking walls are because when I could see I 'enjoyed' looking at the dull whiteness of them. I don't think that they have redecorated since then, so I am assuming that they are still white).

Yes Iggy, they can't be bothered redecorating. They are still white. I heard Angel say in my head.

Is there anyone around? Can you hear Gazzy's thoughts? I asked her in my head not wanting to say anything in the silence.

There are some white coats, but they are in the other half of the building. I can hear Gazzy in this half and.......... She stopped. She even stopped walking, which caused me to stop.

"What is it?" I whispered, breaking the silence.

"Nothing," she whispered back. "This way," she said as we turned a corner.

I followed Angel for about five minutes until she came to stop.

"He's in here," she whispered.

I reached out in front of me and felt cold metal. I ran my hand down it and found that it had so many locks that I lost count. It would take too long to pick all of those locks, and there was a possibility that they were booby-trapped. Suddenly, I knew what to do.

Angel, tell Gazzy to be quiet and don't speak to us until we have finished. Tell him to put his bombs on his side of the door and I'll do the same with mine. Then set it to explode in ten seconds. When I say 'go' set it and we'll make them go off at the same time.

"Okay," she whispered. And there was silence for a few minutes as she gave Gazzy my message.

"Iggy," she said, sounding really excited.

"Yeah, did you tell him what to do?" I asked.

"Yes, and he is doing it right now, but there is a surprise waiting on the other side of the door when we get in." She was practically jumping up and down with excitement by now.

"What?" I asked feeling confused.

"You'll see. Set the bombs!"

I shook my head and bent down to go through my backpack. Whatever that surprise was, I would soon find out.

A/N: Now, I was going to leave it at that. But since you guys have been so awesome and I thought that it would be a bit cruel to leave you with such a BIG cliffie, I thought that I should write more. So I guess that you could say that this is part 2 of this chapter. I hope that you like it.

(Still in Iggy's POV, just 'cause I like Iggy and he doesn't know what is behind the door like Angel does)

I set the bombs up on the door and set them to ten seconds.

Ask Gazzy if he's ready, I thought to Angel (weird sentence).

I waited for a few seconds before I got a reply.

Good to go

"Three.........two.............one............GO!" I shouted as I quickly pressed all of the buttons to make them go off.

I grabbed Angel and my pack and dived for cover. I put my body in between her and the door, to shade her body from any pieces of debris that may or may not fly everywhere.

Two.............one............

BOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOM!

All of the bombs went off at once making a huge exploding sound. It was even louder than the last one that I had set off against those Flyboys! I had felt a few small pieces of metal hit my back and arms and I am pretty sure that my right arm was bleeding, but apart from that I was okay.

"Are you alright?" I asked Angel who was under my body with her hands on her ears.

"Yep," she answered as I slowly sat up. She did the same.

I heard a coughing noise coming from the doorway and assumed that it was my pyro friend. I was about to go over to him when I heard something that made my heart skip a beat.

"REPORT!" I heard a familiar voice shout from the doorway.

"REPORT!" It shouted again. I couldn't move.

"MAAAAAAAAAAX!" Screamed Angel as she ran over to the doorway.

I slowly stood up and shook some of the debris off my body.

"Gazzy, you're not playing some cruel joke on me, are you?" I asked shakily, hearing my voice crack.

There was silence followed by footsteps and a warm hand gently touching my face. I shakily brought my hand up to the hand on my face and felt herskin beneath my fingertips. Her hand gently moved my hand to her face. This wasn't Gazzy.

"Max?" I whispered, hearing my voice shake.

"Yes, it's me, Ig." She said quietly and before I knew it, she had wrapped her arms around my neck and I was hugging her back, tight. I had missed her so much, as did the rest of the flock. I couldn't believe it!

Max was back.
