There it was. The test tube with the "stuff" in it. Fang was hanging around the table with all sorts of test tubes. Honestly, I thought he was making an experiment. If he wasn't, it could have fooled me.

"Max, I don't know how we're going to get the test tube with him around." Nudge whispered. I crinkled my nose and tried to think of something. Too bad Alicia wasn't here....she'd be a good distraction. I guess I had to do something. And fast.

"Stay here. When I lure him and the other flyboys away from the tube, you grab it. I'll bring Fang back, and you cheap shot him with the tube." I said as I got up and ran into the testing room.

"Hey flyboys!!" I said ecstatically. Fang and the others looked at me with angry faces. "Did you miss me? I bet you did!!" I smiled. They started coming towards me. I ran across the room, and surely it would give Nudge enough time to grab the test tube. I looked back and to my luck, they were after me.

I didn't really pay attention to above me though. My feet lifted off the ground and I wasn't flying myself. I looked up, and sure enough, there was Nudge and her nifty test tube.

"Mission Part One accomplished, Nudger." I said, "Now get me down closer to Fang so I can throw this at his brainless skull."

"Gladly!!" Nudge said and flew us down towards Fang.

"Hey Fnick!!" I yelled. (The main reason why I call him Fnick, well, you'll just have to read book number two of the series!!) Fang looked up at me. Great timing. I threw the test tube at him and I saw his face load up with fear. I broke onto Fang's scalp and he collapsed to the floor.

Nudge and I landed back on the floor and stood a distance from Fang. In case it had an after-effect.

"Max!!" Iggy's voice echoed throughout the room. I looked quickly over and the Erasers had Iggy, Angel, Sakka, and Gazzy in their grips.

"Max!!" Nudge's sharp voice cried out. One of the flyboys grabbed her, too. Damnit!! I backed up from the remaining Erasers. A pair of fleshed arms wrapped around my chest and pulled me in.

"You're coming with us, Max." Fang's changing voice growled.

"Let go of me this instant Fang!!" of course, he ignored me. My feet were dragging and I dug my heels into the tile to at least try to wear him down.

"Nicholas!! I demand that you let me and the Flock go right now!!" Fang stopped for a minute. His face grew with anger.

"That....is...NOT MY NAME!!" he threw me up and punched me into the wall. My body barracaded into the metal wall and left and indention. I was in pain, but not enough to keep me from kicking his butt.

"Max, don't! He looks really mad!!" Angel's sweet voice called, full of greif and tears. What to do....I don't want to hurt Angel by hurting Fang, but Fang deserves to be hit a few times in the head! I took a quick look at the Flock, they all looked desperated. Iggy and Gazzy both had black eyes, Sakka's hair was all over her face, Angel just looked beaten, and Nudge looked like she was going to cry.

Fang turned to the Eraser holding Sakka, "Take her to the exam lab!! I want that key out of her system right now!!"

"Let go of me!!" Sakka yelled at the top of her lungs as the Eraser left the room.

"NO!!" Iggy yelped and struggled around in the hairy arms of his Eraser. He flexed his arms and somehow broke loose of the Erasers grip. He ran off towards the closing door. He slipped under the space left and the door slammed shut.

"IGGY!!" I yelled and attempted to run after him, but realizing I couldn't, and stopped dead in my tracks.

"Max! Look out!" the Gasman screamed. I turned and Fang's fist met my face. I went flying into the other wall. It was on. Whether they wanted to watch it or not.
