-Fang POV-

We had just lost Max. They had knocked her out then Ari dragged her out. Iggy and I were then thrown into a helicopter. Then we were thrown out of the copter when we were about 26 miles from Max. They threw us out and as soon as we were out of their reach we snapped our wings open.

"Let's call the kids." Fang suggested to Iggy.

"Good idea… but let's not tell them about Max." Iggy said back.

"Yeah I don't think they can take it over the phone." Fang said with a sigh.

"Are you kidding no matter how we tell them they are not going to take it well?" Ig said. I could tell he was not taking it well.

"Yeah I guess you're right." Fang said. "Let's pick up some food for them… then drop the news on them. We better hurry it's getting close to 6:00, you know 24 hours since we left. If we don't hurry they will go looking for us." Fang said.

"Yeah ok." Iggy said looking away. I am not good with this kind of stuff. I don't like to be in charge and now seeing how hard it is going to be… I really missed Max. We had been without Max for a little less than an hour, but even with just this short amount of time gone I realized how hard our new life without her is going to be.

"There is a place for food down there let's just get a pizza and head back. I'm guessing they have eaten something so just 2 pizzas will do." I said. "sigh"

"Yeah whatever." Iggy said as he started to descend. We flew down and got two large pepperoni pizzas and called the kids that we were running a little late, and that we would give them details later.

-Nudges POV-

Fang, Iggy and Max had been gone for 19 hours. Fang had called me on my cell and said they were running late, and would give her details later. The kids were asleep, thank god. I felt worried, but I did not know why. It's like my heart knew something but it would not tell my brain. I had no idea what could be happening to them to make me feel so weird. Anyways I could not sleep. I tried so hard to get a little sleep but whatever I did I just could not sleep. I hope they get back soon!

-Fangs POV-

We were approaching the hotel and I saw the window open and knew soon I would have to tell three little kids that Max had been taken by the school. Max was like a mom to them. They really needed her. Great… this is going to be harder than I thought. I was also a little irritated with Nudge… I was right they did not have Total but I was not going to say anything because how sad they will be. I flew in first and Iggy came in behind me. Thankfully they looked like they were asleep. Just then Nudge popped up from one bed and looked at us. Then Angel's little head came up on the other bed. Lastly Gazzy sleepily looked up at us from the other side of Angel.

"Fang, Iggy, Ma…!" Nudge said excitedly then got a look of worry on her face when she realized Max was not with us.

"Where's Max?" Gazzy asked now fully wake and worried.

"Fang please tell me what you're thinking is not true?" Angel ran over to stand in front of me.

"Sorry Angel… I would if I could." I said looking down at her as her face got red and she started to cry. She just looked up at me like any normal 6 year old would look at her older brother. I put the food down and went over and picked Angel up into my arms. I had seen Max do it thousand times when Angel or Gazzy was crying. Even when Nudge was smaller she would hold her. Now I was the one caring for them now. Angel was sobbing into my shoulder, as I watched the rest of them, Nudge collapsed in Ig's arms and Gazzy sat on the bed trying to be strong. I did not even tell them what had happen all they knew was that something did happen to Max and that she was gone. Angel knew because I thought it but Nudge and Gazzy had no idea how bad this was going to be…

"Well what happened to Max?" Gazzy asked walking up to look up at me. I had to watch him start to cry and look at me questioningly.

"Well it's a long story… Let Ig change into some new clothes (His were bloody from the fight) and let me and him eat." I said bouncing Angel up and down, trying to calm her down. She still sobbed into my shoulder.

Fang I can't help it… You know I'm only six. Angel's thoughts broke into my head.

I know sweetie, its ok. I thought back as I cradled her.

Thank you Fang, I love you and I know you miss her even more then I do. Angel thought to me as she wrapped her arms around my neck.

Love you too sweetie and yeah I think we all miss her... but you know what we'll live, and I have a feeling she will come back to us. I thought as I hugged her closer to me. I let her sit in my lap as I ate some pizza. She rested her head against my chest and I tried to calm her down a little, but we were all wound tighter then I had ever seen us.

"Ok so you guys want to know what happen to Max right." I spoke up. I think they were all surprised to hear me speak. For many reasons, for one, I don't talk much, two, they probably thought I was also in shock of what happen to Max.

"Yeah… I guess that we should know what happened." Nudge said with a "sigh"

"Ok I will tell you guys. Well first it stated by us breaking into the school from the roof. Once we were in the school we started to walk up and down hall ways. We finally came to a room marked animals. Max thought that we should check it out since Total is a dog. So we went in, Max heard something and said that she thought it was Total. So she got up and went to look. She found him, and then erasers flooded the room. Total ended up not being Total. Ari said that he wanted Max so we all took off running. Max thought that we could not out run them so we stopped to fight. We got about 20 down when Ari came back with 30 more; the 30 erasers had guns and pointed them at Max. Ari told us to go over to a wall or he would have them shoot at Max. We knew, he knew, and Max knew that he totally would. So we left Max, Ari threatened to do something to me and Ig, max flipped out. Then they were going to knock us out, so Max flipped out again. Finally Ari said "say goodbye." Right when she was going to say something Ari slapped a rag with knock out gas on it over Max's mouth and nose. I yelled her name but she was already loosing conciseness. By then 5 erasers were holding me down and 3 on Iggy. We were both trying to get to her but it was too late. Then Ari dragged Max out and I and Iggy were thrown into a copter. After a short ride they threw us out and we came back here." I said that was probably the most they had ever heard me say in one time period.

"You let her go! Fang I thought you would fight back, why did you even leave her side for a second?" Nudge yelled through tears. Iggy put his hands on her shoulders. Nudge started crying harder.

"Nudge, Nudge its ok." Ig turned her around to face him "We could not do anything. I'm sorry, we all lost Max tonight, and you know what we are all going to help each other get through it." Ig said. I had never heard him be so comforting. Nudge finally lost all control over her tears. She collapsed into Ig's arms and sobbed into his shoulder. Angel had been watching it all, now she started to cry too. I held her close to me, and let her cry into my chest. Gazzy who had been holding back all of his tears finally let them all fall out. I held Angel in one arm and used my other arm to pull Gazzy into me for a hug; he wrapped his arms around my stomach and cried. They really missed Max.
