I frowned. We had flown around the building (which took forever) and had gotten nothing but cement walls. The place had no way to get in but through the fron door, which no doubt would set off alarms if we went through.
"Wait, Max!" Angel said, her face lighting up. "I have an idea."
"Yeah, sweetie?" I asked, getting the tiniest bit of hope.
"Well, if you look closely, you can see that the door has a scanner on it. You know, the blue thing? To get in you have to scan your hand print on it. And, then it sets the alarm off if you don't match their data base. So, if we can get someone who works here and then knock them out, we could take their hand and get in."
"Ange, that's a nice plan, but how are we going to get someone who work's here to come out?" I asked.
Angel smiled. "Like this." Then she closed her eyes. Ooohh, she was going to use her mind control on someone and make them come out. I waited as she scanned the building for someone and got them to come out. Eventually a Whitecoat came out, and he looked confused. I slowly crepted out from behind the bush and then walked up to him. I hit him on the head really hard and he fell down, knocked out.
"Max, you know I could've just made him open the door without knocking him out." Angel said, coming out from behind the bush.
"Yeah, whatever. It's more fun this way." I snickered, picking up the body and placing his hand on the scanner. It made a couple dinging sounds, and the door automatically opened up.
"Yes!" I couldn't help but call out in victory. We could finally get Nudge.
The inside was nothing like the School. It was worse, and it made me gasp.
It was just one big room. Rows and rows and rows of tables, cages tightly packed on them. The cages were filled with people, sitting and laying there in uncomfortable positions because the cages were too small. There was no one in here, but when I turned to the left there was a small office room with about ten Whitecoats studying things on computers. I ducked out of the way so they couldn't see me if they turned around. (A/N: Here's a thing to help you understand the room, but the office is smaller than the thing says and the rest of the room is a lot bigger. The little 'll' shows where the door is and the little box is the office, the rest is rows of cages:)

I looked around, and then saw her.
"Nudge!" I called, smiling. She was laying across a metal table at the far end of the room, with some huge metal thing next to her. I ran down the isles towards her. I shook her shoulder. "Nudge, wake up, I'm here."
She didn't open her eyes.
Was it too late?
