Yo! Sorry I couldn't update sooner, I have three stories I like updating too! Okay, enough with my excuses... Here's the next chapter! Enjoy!
First Nudge gasped and then I realized all the flock dealt with it differently. Iggy straitened up like someone had poked him with a hot cow-brander, The Gasman looked scared and even Max's body seemed to react, straining around the eyes, pursed lips, eyes with fierce determination, yes, everyone handled it differently.
"They took Angel back to the school?" Gazzy asked.
"I think so," Max answered. Only I could see the forced leader-like tone.
"Why?" Nudge whispered. "After four years, I thought maybe they had forgotten-"
I cut Nudge of there. That theory was crazy, I didn't need to hear it. "They want us back."
"They'll never forget about us. Jeb wasn't supposed to take us out of there," Max said. Finally! Sometimes she says exactly what I'm thinking, makes it easier keeping up the whole calm, cool, collected act. But sometimes I know what she's thinking.
"Jeb knew they would do anything to get us back. If anyone ever discovered what they did to us, it would be the end of the School," I finished for Max.
"Why don't we tell them, then?" Nudge asked/demanded. "We could go to a TV station and tell everyone and say, Look, they grew wings on us, and we're-"
Suddenly I had an idea, more like a memory. Jeb had a pile of papers in his office, more importantly a pile of maps. Maps that could help us get Angel out. I walked to his old office and shifted around the closet where we kept all his stuff after he disappeared. Finally I found what I was looking for, it also appeared to be a home for a couple of mice.
"Don't worry, it'll come back," I whispered a little absent mindedly. I brought the pile of papers back and walked up to Max.
"Eew. Eew. Was that-" Nudge started. I knew she was refering to the mouse dropping but I didn't care.
"Here." I pushed the papers at Max. Max started spreading the papers out and I helped her. Then I held a manila envelop and with an unspoken message between Max and me, I opened it.
"What is that?" questioned the Gasman.
"Map," I said not quite paying attention to be more pacific.
"Map of what?" Nudge asked. Ah, the legendary question everyone wanted to know.
"Map of a secret facility," Max said sounding a little scared. No, Max wouldn't be scared of maps... would she? "In California. The School."
