Chapter 4

Chapter 4

Just letting all of you know that I will be at a camp for one week, starting Sunday. No electronics allowed, so you guys are out of luck. Sorry! Anyway, here is chapter four, more about our favorite Avian-Americans!

Since Angel is not in range of my brain, I don't feel at all guilty cussing a little. "Dammit! Fang, I DO NOT like guns! At all!" He should have brought this up earlier. We're back at the park now, and both of us take off into the sky.

"I figured that I shouldn't bring it up until I had to. I didn't want to worry you." How sweet. My right hand man, who is supposed to tell me the things I forget, and generally is supposed to help me, didn't want to worry me. Well, he failed. I'm worried.

"Well thank you very, very much. If you had told me when we first decided to do this, I could have figured something out with time, but now, well, we don't have much time. The reservation at that hotel runs out soon. We need that money to make sure we can keep hiding. We don't keep hiding, and you know who finds us? The School finds us. Now, if you will excuse me, I'm going to go think of a way to fix this problem that you failed to alert me to."

You know that ability I developed to go about 200 miles per hour? Well, I perfected that, and can now just go. As soon as I finished my speech, I was gone. Fang didn't even have a chance to take a breath.

I still did this sometime, despite how stupid it is. I'd just take off, not tell anyone where I was going, or how long I would be gone. It gave me more time to sort out the hectic, unorganized parts of my brain. After going high speed for a while, I slow down to let my body catch up to itself the rest of the way. Imagine going faster then the fastest roller coaster in the world, longer then the longest. Yea, that's sorta what it's like. My bird self loves it, but I'm still part human.

I looked down from my high vantage point and saw a small marshland. It had to be only ten miles square. My super, raptor high vision caught site of two people, both all done up in camo and blaze orange. I swooped down for a closer look, and then my curiosity got the better of me. The two were totally absorbed, and I had to find out with what.

A ways behind them, I landed softly and crept closer. A convenient clump of yellow brush hid me, and I listened. It turned out it was a dad showing his little boy how to shoot.

"Like this?" The little boy put the gun to his shoulder, and eyed down the barrel.

"Almost. Turn your body like this, and tilt your weight this way." The father turned and tilted the boy into the right position. If you ask me, that father son relationship was pretty cool. To bad I never got to have that relationship with Jeb. I never could really trust him.

As the father finished positioning his son, the boy fired. I was expecting a big bang, but all there was was a little click. There gun hadn't been loaded.

"Just like that, Dad?" The boy looked up with a beaming smile.

"Just like that. Next, we'll load it and you can try and hit that tree over there."

I had been given an epiphany. Sure, we could use real guns. We just didn't need to load them. It was amazing! Why didn't I think of it before! I'm an idiot, it was so obvious!

I stood up from where I was sitting and walked over to the man and his son. I tapped them on the shoulder, and when they turned around startled, I shook their hands.

"I just want to thank you. That was a very good demonstration. I'll be leaving you two in peace now, goodbye!"

I probably wouldn't see the two ever again, and they probably thought I was crazy as I ran off, but that was okay. Everything was perfect. Nothing could go wrong. All we had to do was go to some lowlife pawn shop and get some guns. And then pull off the heist of the century! We are Avian- Human Americans! We are Bank Robbers!

The next one is the moment you have all been waiting for! The Flock finally robs the bank! I've got it all planned out, it just won't happen till after I get back from camp. Oh, and the robbing of the bank isn't the end. There is avian-american napping and other interesting stuff involved. Just wait and see!
