So, the next chapter! I'm sorry it's taken so long to update, i've been preoccupied with exams etc.
So, they finally get one parent out! Which one is it?
So, thank you ChickenChick, for letting me borrow Emi. She comes in towards the end of this chapter, and there will be a lot more of her next chapter.
Thankyou everyone for reviewing, I love you all.
And I hope you enjoy the chapter.

Okay?
Gooood ;)
Enjoy :)
There was a moment of silence, where everyone just stared at Ellie.
You're probably surprised. I mean, why would we freak so much about a Voice, right?
Well, basically, what we knew about voices are that;
Aunt Max had one when she was a bit younger than us.
And Jeb Batchelder could do the voice. So this might be Ian Batchelder, and therefore we were total sitting ducks.
Oh God.
That was when Ellie turned round and said, 'The Voice just told you to stop worrying, Hollie. This is not Ian Batchelder.' She then looked confused. 'Who's Ian Batchelder?'
'-Uh..' I was saved from having to answer by Issy, who realised I hadn't told them. And none of them had remembered the name on the note. Wow.
'So, to carry on with the plan, we need at least two people to get one parent out. So, we'll have to make a return trip. This means, guys' He turned to glare at me-' We are not breaking and entering, and we are not going round, setting off alarms.'
'Okay, so, who, like are we all going round with then, because can I totally go with Hollie? Because we make like a totally great team?'
Issy. I honestly have no idea how that girl makes the shortest sentence into the longest speech.
Anyway, Issy's impassioned speech merited a whole eye-roll from Luke. Woah. Generous.
'No, Issy. Do you think I want everyone killed? No. Er, lets see, Ellie and Issy will go together, and Zack, me and Hollie will, as well.'
Great, I was hoping for at least a little girl support, but no.
I said this to Zack, who replied
Sorry, Hol, but I think he won't be moved.
Oh, God, the guy hates me.
No, I don't think so. He just dosn't want you to get yourself killed, which is fair enough, seeing as you seem to have a special talent for these things.
It was my turn to roll my eyes.
Ellie and Issy, I realised, had already discussed the plan, and had gone in. They, apparently, had gone to get Fang, and we apparently were going to get Max.
'-But why can't we go get my mom?' I asked.
Luke winced. I knew and he knew that Max would be the best one in a fight, and that my mom was injured, and was therefore safer where she was, but Luke had he two of her kids on his hands.
And, even if I couldn't convince Zack, and even though we both knew Luke'd win the argument in the end, I could still put up a hell of a fight.
Instead, Luke just shook his head. 'Hollie, you know the reasons. And the sooner this is over, the sooner you can get to you're mom.'
I knew this was true, and was forced to accept it. It didn't mean I had to like it.
As soon as we were in, doing a quick reccee of the place, and even if it was an abandoned werehouse, a loud alarm started wailing.
'I guess that Ellie and Issy have got uncle Fang', I hollered over the sound.
'We'll have to do an up-and-away,' Luke yelled back. 'Goddammit, what have they done?'
Crouched and about to leap, I happened to turn. And saw a girl, a bit older than me, crouched in a cage that was no where near big enough. She had wild tangled brown hair, massive chestnut eyes and freckles all over her face. She looked disturbed.
The boys had alreadly upped-and-outed, and I knew I would have to do the same.
But it was something about her expression that unsettled me.
I glanced back once more, and I knew, in that instant, there was no way I was leaving here with out that girl. But the only problem? If the siren wailed any louder it would shatter my eardrums, there was the worlds 'code red' being yelled over the intercom, and the girl was in a cage that just the padlock looked llike it weighed more than both of us together, let alone the cage.
I had to find her a way out, though. I had to.
Why did I always get myself into these messes?
Oooh, a new OC.
If you review, you'll make my week.
And virtual chocolate chip muffins to everyone who read this ;)
