Ha...Okay I have no excuse for taking so long...but I did...So cry me a river, build me a bridge, and get over it! Here's the next chapter...It's Fang..and...IT STINKS!
"Not that I'm not happy to see you two but why are you here?" I asked as Angel and Gazzy sat across from me. Angel was given my permission to use her mind control powers so the house was completely vacant.
Gazzy aimed a nervous glance at Angel but she just shot him a look that said 'I told you so'. It was silent for a few minutes and it looked like they were exchanging thoughts.
"What happened." I demanded to know. I could get impatient if I wasn't given an answer soon.
"Well.." Gazzy started, his voice trailing off. He was avoiding looking at me which meant he thought I was going to yell.
"Gazzy blew up the garage!" Angel blurted out from her spot on the couch.
"I told you not to say anything!" The Gasman exclaimed, giving Angel the bird.
My face showed my surprise for a moment before I had the thought to pull myself together. Before either of them noticed I had my impassive face glued back on.
"You blew up the garage?" I asked, just to make sure I had heard them right. The Gasman gave a small nod and than looked up at me. "Do you have any food?" I'm starving," He commented, glancing towards the kitchen.
"Yeah." Was my reply. One syllable. My vocabulary hadn't expanded much since I had last seen them. Max would have flipped out on him if she was here but I didn't know what to do. Should I yell at him?
We don't have to tell Max, Angel added sweetly, skipping off to the kitchen with the Gasman. I followed after them, leaning against the door frame as they scrounged through the kitchen cupboards.
"Can we call Iggy soon?" Gazzy said impatiently, stuffing a Dorito into his mouth. They each took a seat at the table, with multiple plates of food set out in front of them.
"Do you think we could call Max too?" Angel added anxiously. Her voice cracked on Max's name. It must have been hard on her, Max was basically the only mother she had. The thought of calling Max made me smile a little bit, which was a rare occurrence considering I hadn't smiled for at least two months now. Yeah I know I don't smile regularly anyway but Max managed to make me smile somehow.
"Can we?" They both asked at the same time.
"Sure," I replied. "But first you two should probably get some sleep." I added, figuring that's what Max would have suggested.
After a few minutes of arguing the two of them both took my bed for the night while I made a temporary bed on the floor. Tomorrow I would get to talk to Max.

The next morning we all ate breakfast together. When I say all, I'm just talking about me, Gazzy and Angel. They filled me in on what had happened with them the past few weeks, including how Gazzy blew up the garage.
Now we were sitting in silence on the couch while I dialed Dr. Martinez's number. Angel reached forward and clicked the speaker button. Obviously they were going to want to be in on the conversation.

"Hello?" A voice came up on the other end of the line.
"Hi Ella. It's Fang."
"Oh my gosh! Fang! Why are you calling?" She asked, her voice sounding confused. Why would she be confused? "Is something the matter?"
"Can we talk to Max?"
"What? Isn't she with you?!" Ella exclaimed, now sounding thoroughly confused, I wasn't far behind her on that.
"Isn't she with you?" I shot back. The pieces were slowly clicking together in my head but the conclusion I came up with didn't make sense.
"I haven't seen her since I saw all of you guys last."
