About one week later after the incident with Tess…
Nudge's ears perked up at the sound of the front door's bell ringing, and wiped her hands n a napkin. Honestly, people were so messy! Like that fat guy she served earlier… She shuddered; she didn't have ANY happy thoughts about those few moments.
Not so happy abut a new customer, she sprinted down the hallway and skidded in front of the door… but no one was there. The chatterbox walked around, lifting up the couch's pillows, looking under chairs. How could a customer disappear into thin air? It was impossible.
Nudge glanced around her. It was so quiet; which was, unusual. She sighed, and turned to go back to work.
"Hi."
Cue deafening scream.
*C.M*
"So I see you found my sister."
Nudge wanted to screech into Fang's face that OF COURSE SHE FOUND HIS FREAKIN SISTER. She nearly stepped on the ten year old. But surprisingly, Nudge was not in the mood for a long conversation. She just wanted to get this over with. Her patience had run out. And this rarely happened. All she wanted to do was smack both Fang and Max in the face; but unfortunately, Max was late, due to the events that occurred four days before.
"You told me you'd make sure Nikki would stay with her aunt at all times! Oh wait, that's right! She's in the hospital; my bad! Do you want me to get my head chopped off? Iggy said she couldn't come here after last time! Max could've killed her if it wasn't for Gazzy! We're even luckier you're aunt's ALIVE."
Fang sighed; yes, that was one hectic week. He remembered like it was yesterday. But it was only four days ago, so he guessed it counted.
Just then Max had come through the front door, and was immediately tackled by Nudge. "I'm going to KILL you! Because of you, Nikki has to stay here until her aunt's out of the dang hospital! What were you thinking?"
Max laughed awkwardly, and tried to pry Nudge off of her waist; she didn't remember what they were talking abut. But then she caught sight of Nikki playing with Angel and sheepishly grinned. Ooohh, I remember now. But I'm surprised I haven't been fired yet. Hahaha….

CUE FLASHBACK
"Fellow padawans, I've come to deliver a message."
Everyone glanced up from their work and laid their eyes on Fang. He was shifting awkwardly, his right hand raised into the air as a sign of greeting. Max's eyes narrowed in suspicion at the sight of someone behind him. But their face was covered behind Fang's back. She hadn't been paying attention while he was talking, so she interrupted him. "Who's behind you?"
Fang gave her a warning glare, which she could only respond back to with an innocent shrug. Fang sighed, and pulled the kid's arm out from behind his back and gently pushed them in front of him. "Everyone, this is my little sister, Nikki. We need to watch her while my Aunt Martha gets groceries." A little girl with olive skin and black hair shyly waved back at them. "Hello." She said softly, and then tried to hide behind Fang again.
"Hi." Everyone greeted in unison, and fell into an awkward silence. But of course, it was interrupted by Fang's phone ringing. He picked it up and began talking. Then just as fast, he turned it off and sighed. "Look, my aunt needs help. Max, you're in charge of Nikki."
And then he was gone.
*C.M*
Max nonchalantly watched Nikki play with Angel, who was the same age as her. Playing 'swan lake' seemed to entertain the two of them, and Nikki didn't seem to mind that Angel could jump higher than her.
She suddenly had a heart attack when she felt a hand on her shoulder. She looked up to see Iggy, smiling down at her. "Break times up." He said simply, though she could see an amused glint in his blue eyes. Dang it, he felt her jump. "Come back and work."
Max turned and faced Angel. "Watch her for me, 'kay sweetie?" The little girl nodded enthusiastically, and went back to playing.
And so, Max got to work.
*C.M*
Exhausted, Max trudged into the employee lounge and plopped down on the couch. She didn't think she could stand any more of this working stuff. But she got paid 15$ an hour, so it was worth it. Rubbing her eyes tiredly, she scanned the room; all was peaceful… too peaceful.
She then realized it lacked two things; one, sound. The other, two little girls flapping their arms like unintelligent ducks. Despite her fatigue, Max leapt from the couch, and zoomed around the café in search of the two girls. "Nikki? Angel! Kids!" She stopped at the front door, panting. It took her a moment to process the information before she felt cold dread filling her insides.
Angel and Nikki were gone.

Fang: You deserved it
Me: Wait! Why are you still here? Silver was supposed to take you with her! Silver! SILVER! COME BACK DAMMIT! Hold on guys, you stayed tied to this tree while I go after Silver, 'kay?
Fang and Iggy: What? NO! Wait! DON'T LEAVE ME WITH HIM!
Me: Later! *Runs for the hills after her*

Iggy: Definitely.
