Hey all,
I took so long to update because I was hoping for a better response via reviews…but came up disappointed, and decided I might as well post another chapter. I've written the next like 3 chapters during the time between this chapter and the last, so as long as you review I should be able to update every other day or so. So REVIEW!!! I'm hoping to reach 50 reviews by chapter…say 20, 18 maybe? So please, review. Thanks. And on with the story…
…back in the game…
Max POV:
We flew to a secluded cave, probably somewhere in northern Canada. It was a long flight, but I didn't want anyone to find us right after our narrow escape. We needed to rest, badly. Fang switched off carrying the little traitor half way into the flight, and when he set him down on the cave floor I immediately went over and slapped him in the face, leaving a handprint on his cheek. "What the hell, Jake!" I yelled, not caring if the whole world heard me (which was highly unlikely, because there was no civilization within a 6 mile radius of where we were.) He sputtered incoherently until Iggy finally made him stop. "Why were you holding a bomb?" I asked somewhat calmly, and got gibberish. "Why were you acting so weird before?" Again, nothing coherent.
"WHY COULD I SEE PERIL MARKED EVERYWHERE YOU WENT?!" I lost my composure finally, and he looked terrified. He started stuttering again until I screamed out in frustration, "shut. Up." "You've got wings." He whispered, and I laughed humorlessly "No shit. Sherlock. You just figured that out?" He finally began to make sense, and said under his breath "They didn't say anything about wings." "Who said that?" I asked, exhausted. "The director." He replied. Hold up. Director? As in psycho-bitch-I-almost-killed-out-of-anger? From Itex? "The director of what?" Fang asked, taking over the interrogation as I rubbed my temples and paced in front of them. "Of Itex. She said she knew you guys, but she never explained how. My dad always did business with them quietly, but I never thought…" He trailed off, leaving his thoughts unfinished. "He's too confused to be of use to us right now. Fang, do you mind knocking him out? It seems he could use some rest." Fang did as I asked all too eagerly, and I walked over to Angel. "So what did you get?" I asked, and she explained all of my unanswered questions.
Jake's dad does work with Itex.
Jake had been working with them the entire time
He has no idea who I am, but Itex most likely does
He was trying to set off a bomb as a job for his dad, and only followed through with it because of Fang (jealous much? Haha)
He is now even more confused about who I am.
From the looks of it, we've got our work cut out for us…
