Hey guys,

Here's the next chapter of the story, the Flock will come in soon, I promise! If you have any ideas or comments about the story just review of PM me, I don't mind either one. Hope you like it! I'm in a hot dog mood just to explain the random hot dog bit during this chapter and I'm trying to make reading the story easier by putting spaces in certain bits.

Thank you to all the people who reviewed, it made me ecstatic and this chapter I'm dedicating the chapter to RenRawrzBby, -Nudgey-, and awsomeness is an awesome word. They all reviewed on the last chapter.

Bird Catching

Michigan, the only state to consist of two peninsulas, the lower one shaped as a mitten and that is exactly where I am. In the heart of 'the mitten', real threatening huh? No offence to Michigan people. It has officially been four days, four freaking days since I arrived here and what have I found, nothing, nada. They've probably left by now I thought as I walked down the windy street. It wasn't really cold as such just windy and having light bones didn't help the matter in the slightest.

The place that was holding Jake hostage has no name yet, we don't know what it's called but since we were last there they had upped security, it was easy to get out but getting in is another matter and one thing I can't do on my own. Therefore the reason I am walking Michigan's streets with false hope. I know for a fact they move around every few days and it's been once again four freaking days without anything. Not even a clue.

If you haven't noticed I'm a little upset but I won't stop searching until I find the Flock and convince them to help me save Jake.

Another store front and another load of voices wafting into my head as I stalk past but none of them flock related.

I wonder what Amy's doing this weekend…

Do these jeans make my butt look big…

Maybe I should cancel the holiday…

And many more very interesting thoughts, note the sarcasm.

The scenery changed and now a park stood off to my right, just across the road and in view was a park bench just calling tome to sit down on it for a minute. I complied without another thought.

When the road was clear to walk across I slowly jogged to the other side and stopped in front of a hotdog vendor.

"Four hotdogs, all with just mustard please."

I tried to sound sweet but with the way he glared at me I mustn't have…or it could be the fact he's getting divorced and his wife's taking him for all he's got which isn't much. I flinched at the thoughts littering through his brain as I paid and took the four delicious looking and smelling hotdogs to the bench and sat down. Looking around at my surroundings I ate the hotdogs, savouring every bite that filled my taste buds, and stomach, with pleasure. He may have been grouch but man could he make one good hotdog.

People walked past, young and old, males and females, kids, teenagers, adults, all different from each other. I did a 360 then relaxed onto the bench, nothing out of the usual.

My body went rigid and I jumped up excited, ready to run for my life. Not from something evil chasing me but because I could see a group of kids and teenagers standing a little bit away, they all looked just like the photos of the flock that were in the manila folder.

My legs carried my, faster then I've ever ran before, over to the group and the closer I got to the group the more I was sure it was them. I couldn't see their faces but it would be too much of a coincidence that they all looked like the flock from behind and then weren't. There was even a small black Scotty dog. Relief flooded through me as I got closer and closer. I had finally found them and now there was nothing stopping me from getting Jake back.

I'm coming Jake, I'm coming.

Review please, I feel ignored. =(
