Chapter 11
Fang woke to the sun on his face, jolting awake at the window sill.
He had been dreaming of Max. Flying with her, holding her, Kissing her.
He shook his head, and set about waking up his flock.
Today was pruly seeking
And he knew one person in New York who could help time
"Urg" Tiger said as they laid against the tunnel wall, as a train passed. She looked at her hands, where a layer of grime had formed, "So gross"
"Suck it up" Sparks said
"better then being in a cage" Starling said, as he wiped his hands on his pants.
"Shh" Fang said, leading the way "and stay off the third rail, although Sparks, you might be okay"
They came out in the underground city, homeless taking refuge in the tunnels
Fang scanned the crowd, searching for someone.
"Who are you looking for?" Mystery asked
"A friend" Fang replied, and he spied him, seeing his Mac, "Mike!" He turned, and stared at Fang
Then he walked over, "What are you doing back here? Where's the other two? Your girlfriend?"
Fang sighed inwardly, "I left them. We need you
"Okay" Mike said "What sort of help?"
"How good are you at security? Like, Breaking and entering?" Fang asked

I was shaken awake by Iggy, and yawning, I checked my email
Sweetie I growled at that, here's a map, if you wait a day, I'll have more information
Hitting reply, I sent back, Ok, before getting the rest of the flock up
"What are we doing today?" Gazzy asked
"A little planning" I said, "Do you think you guys will be able to get supplies for bombs?"
"Course" Iggy said, rolling his eyes, "can make bombs out of almost anything"
"I was thinking" Angel said softly, "What if Nudge could hack into their camera's or something, and make em Freak?"
"Can she do that?" Dylan asked
"I could. I just need time" Nudge said, already reaching for a laptop
What was I going to do? Study the map and come up with a plan
Which is what I spent three hours doing, with Nudge pointing out all the camera's
Finally, thought, I thought, I had a good guide of the place, and a rough plan
I looked around at the others. All in motion, working. Angel and Nudge were bent over a laptop, the guys were working on bombs
Clapping my hands, I said, "time for a break. Lets get some sunshine"
We were meant for the sky, I thought, as we flew high, higher still.
I snapped in my wings and let myself fall, eyes closed
When I heard peoples cries, I pulled up, hearing the wings beats of the others doing the same
I glided along a building, slowing before angling back up.
Freedom.
