Max POV

When I searched Valencia Martinez only two people came up. And they're both about the same age and live really close. Coincidence? I think not. Alex said we'd check out the first one first. She reckons one of them is a fake and the other is the real Martinez. We flew over a small gated community and landed. 121 Arizona, 122 Arizona, bingo—123 Arizona Drive.

"So what do we do?" asked Iggy. "Do we just knock on the door and be all 'Yo lady! You breed any mutant kids lately?'"

I looked up at Alex, assuming she already thought out a plan. Gosh, where has the leader in me gone?

She coughed violently and then shrugged her shoulders, and said, "Do I look like I got an answer?" Then she turned to the entire flock, "We are now taking non-stupid ideas. Anyone?"

Everyone shook their heads accept Gazzy. "Why don't we-"

He was cut off by the sound of a door opening. A middle aged woman with short blond hair and grey eyes stepped out. "Can I help you kids?" she asked sweetly with a smile. Too sweet. Already I didn't trust her. Alex just stared at the woman, not knowing what to say, and then ended up sneezing all over her.

"My bad." Alex apologized, wiping her nose on her sleeve. I could tell the woman was disgusted, but tried to cover that with another smile.

"Oh, dear." She said, "Come, hun, let me get you a tissue and some anti-bacterial gel." She motioned us inside.

Nudge started to walk in, but Alex blocked her with the arm she wiped her nose on. I couldn't help but snicker.

"Ewww!" squealed Nudge. Alex lowered her arm. I faintly heard Iggy question Gazzy of what happened.

"Uh, actually we'll stand here, thanks." She sneezed again.

"Okay, darlin'," she said skeptically, "but I have some cookies if you kids want some. Chocolate chip." With a smile the woman disappeared into the house.

The most delicious thing I ever smelt tickled my nose. I inhaled deeply, taking in the heavenly scent. Before I knew what I was doing I had walked in the woman's house, scouting for the source of the amazing perfume.

"Max!" Alex whisper-yelled at me," what the hell do you think you're doing!!"

Turns out Nudge had followed me into the house, sensing the smell as well.

"You smell that?" she asked me.

"Yeah. What do you think it is?" I said taking in the scent once more.

"Whatever it is," she paused, breathing in deeply," I want some."

Nudge POV

"Whatever it is I want some." I told Max. We kept walking still looking for what was emitting the scent. We traveled down a hallway lined with family portraits of the woman and a little girl I assumed was her daughter. Another was one of just the girl by herself—she looked only a bit older than me—on the photo it said in elegant script: Elizabeth Martinez. Martinez—maybe we were in the right house. Just not on the right track, I laughed silently to myself as we continued to journey down the hallway. We stumbled upon the kitchen. It had black marbled counters and all black appliances. On the counter, just as the woman promised, was a big plate of chocolate chip cookies. A smile etched itself on my face—I was in heaven. And based on Max's expression, she was too.

"What are they?" Max asked, then I remembered that I had spent a lot more time on the computer at the house then she had. I sighed, the house. It was probably gone now. I'm gonna really miss it. And all my stuff too. Like my cute clothes—oooh! Especially that hot pink tank top I love—

"Nudge?"

"Huh?" I said, "Oh yeah. They're chocolate chip cookies!" I squealed.

Max and I exchanged a silent look of glee. Max reached her hand out to grab a cookie. Then something ginormous crashed through the ceiling…and all hell broke loose.

Alex POV

What the hell does she think she's doing?!? Ugh. All of a sudden Nudge followed inside the unfamiliar house behind Max. Crap. Now I have to go in. Fang, as emotionless as before, understood my silent thoughts and nodded his head in agreeance. It's seriously weird how he does that. Is he a mind reader too? I wonder…. But anyway, so after telling Gazzy, Angel, and Iggy to say put, Fang and I crept cautiously into the house. And then it dawned on me: how long does it take to get a tissue and some stupid anti-bacterial gel anyway?

Who knows?

Hey! Get out; I need to concentrate here…

Oh yeah, sorry, Al.

…Al?

Yeah that's your new nickname.

What the hell? My new nickname? You know, technically, Angel, Alex is already my nickname.

Too bad, I liked the name…

I sighed; whatever you can call me Al. I winced at the squeal I got in response.

Fang and I took in the layout of the house on instinct. It's something you pick up when you might need to just kick some eraser ass and split. Hopefully, that's not the case.

Fang POV

Alex seemed distracted as we first walked into the house. Whatever, it didn't concern me. It never would. I looked around the house memorizing everything, looking for Max and Nudge. It wasn't really like Max to just walk into a stranger's house, much less this stranger's house and all the freaky smiling she was doing. Ugh.

All of a sudden Alex sneezed again and it made me jump. She smiled, silently laughing at me. But I remained a neutral mask over my face, hiding the rejection I really felt. She stopped smiling and sighed.

"Look," she started but was cut off by a huge crashing sound. We exchanged a similar look of panic. Then…we sprinted.

Iggy POV

Ugh.

"What is taking them so long!?"

"Shush Iggy," Angel said, sounding like she was concentrating hard.

"Maybe they need our help." said Gazzy.

"Wouldn't they have contacted Angel?"

"SHUSH! I'm trying to see if they need us," she paused a long while, "I think…They need us! Come on!"

I ran behind her's and Gazzy's footsteps. Here we go.
