Chapter 16 The Billionaire's Secret.
I circled the building again, listening intently to the sounds coming from the building. After about thirty minutes of circling the building the sun started setting and I checked my watch. It read
7:48, I smiled deviously and went through the plan over again. It was a fairly simple plan.
First, I would go in and be the sneaky and slick self I am.
Second, I will find Max.
Thirdly, I will break her out and bash any skulls if need be. Simple plan right.
I ran quietly to the side of the building and started climbing, gripping onto the jutted ends of the bricks. I climbed brick after brick until I heard a voice. So I layed my body against the cold bricks tightly and listened in.
"Are the Erasers ready" Jeb asked. I thought to myself 'what are erasers. If they are as threatening as they sound than this fight must be easy'.
"Yes sir all the Erasers are ready"
"Good good Mr. Chu"
"Is number 13-1-24-9-13-21-13 ready to be tampered with"
"Yes she is, we had already neutralized her" I could practically feel the radiating triumph glowing off of Jeb
"Well then shall we get started" I heard foot steps descending down stairs and I kept going until I couldn't hear another step from their shoes. I heard something growl as I reached the rooftop. I poked my head up and saw three huge clad figures on the roof. They could have been eight feet tall and weighed about 350 pounds each! They were hairy and had claws. But they also had some looks of a human, like their facial structure, they had the facial structure of a human. Luckily they haven't noticed me yet.
There was a loud whistle and the wolf things turned their heads to the stairs and walked over to it. I let out the breath I didn't even know I was holding and crawled the rest of the way there. I just hope I don't have to go up against any of those... things. Evil scientists I can deal with but eight foot tall clawed things I can't. I sneaked through the rooftops to the stairs with as much silence that I could. This was the top floor so I expected nothing to be here, but boy was I wrong. There were creatures so many creatures with weird things to their body. One looked like the things outside but more human than wolf. Another had the head of an enlarged iguana and the body of a human. I felt sorry for them I wanted to break them out but I had to look for Max.
I was pretty sure I was lost until I heard soft sobs coming from a room. It wasn't curiosity that pulled me toward that room but something, something more like fate. I pushed the metal door open further and what I saw mad me sick to the bone. I saw a mocha-skinned girl on her knees, bloody. But I noticed her quicker than I noticed the blood. She was the girl from WaWa.
"Wha wha who are you I already had my training" Training? Is this what they call training.
"Don't worry Nudge I'm not here to hurt you. I want you to help me" I said calmly
"Nicholas Griffiths"?
"Yes and no. Maybe if you saw me in the light you would recognize me" I stepped into the light and she gasped.
"Fang Wolfe! But why are you here"
"I'm here to help a friend of mine and a friend of yours"
"You mean Max. Don't you"? How does she know. I was flabbergasted(AN: this is still such a funny word) "I saw her being pulled in by Whitecoats" I was still confused " Whitecoats are the people who put these on me". She stood up and what I saw almost made me faint. On her back were a pair of tawny wings. I just stared in wonderment and awe. "I'm now 2 percent bird and 98 percent human" She shrugged and tried standing up but the cage was to small for her. I recovered from her wings and found a crowbar in a closet to my left. I struck the cage, well more of a dog crate, again and again. But still nothing.
"Come on Fang I thought you were stronger than that"
"I'm trying as hard as I can" I said in-between strikes. I finally felt something give way and looked to where I had hit. There was a hole in two of the bars. I used the end of the crowbar and pulled until the bars were stretched far enough for her to squeeze out. She did so with unimaginable grace. We got out of the room and ran for two minutes until she stopped suddenly.
"Uhh Nudge why did you stop"
"SHHH I think I'm hearing something to your left" I looked to my left and saw nothing.
"Nudge there's nothing there" I said loudly. Then I started heard pounding on hard steel. Nudge turned to me
"RUN" I was confused as to why she would tell me to run
"But why"
"Erasers" I laughed at that name
"Erasers? Are you serious erasers if they're tough as tough as they sound then they can't be that bad"
"Okay then if you think so ready your crowbar"
"Why would I-" I stopped mid-sentence when I saw those things that were on the roof rushing toward us. "Wah wah what the. That's an ERASER"
"Yup now get ready to fight" I didn't even get a chance to reply when Nudge ran forward with unimaginable speed. She jumped and high kicked one in the temple. There were three of them if I remembered correctly, but there were two fighting Nudge so where's the other one. I looked around and held the crowbar like it was my life and I spotted the eraser right behind Nudge and the other two keeping his eyes on me. It snarled and tackled me down to the ground. The crowbar fell out of my hands and the eraser laugh-howled.
"You think you can beat me human" The thing spat out. "Since we are now opponents you should know my-" I didn't let him finish as I sent a fist flying to his jaw. It's jaw snapped and I was satisfied. I quickly thanked my parents for making me take those kick-boxing classes on weekends. He jumped off me and I stood up quickly. I looked over my shoulder and Nudge had one of the erasers in a headlock while the other one was on the floor.
"Oww that one really hurt human" I didn't even say anything as I rushed at him and he laughed. He started running to me but I stopped mid way and stood there as it kept going. When he was a few feet away from me I jumped, landed on his shoulders with my arms around his neck, putting him in a headlock.
"You think you can do that so eas-" But before he can answer I flipped him on his stomach and I heard a crack, his ribs most likely. He got back up but I sent a fist to his nose and he fell back down. I got on his back and snapped his neck. I got off him and looked over at Nudge who was punching the eraser with lightning fast fists. I came over as she finished putting him to an end.
"You fight pretty good, for a full human"
"Thanks. But you have to give yourself some props you have lightning fast fists" She smiled
"Thanks Fang. It feels great to hear that out of a famous person's mouth"
"No prob. Now let's go" She nodded and we started running again". We traveled down fifteen flights of stairs.
"Okay we should be coming upon a door in about two minutes. And I'm surprised by your endurance Fang. Usually humans would have fallen now".
"Well I did football and basketball in high school" She nodded
"So anyways now we should come upon a door leading to the basement". We entered the door and went down the steps but stopped midway when we heard someone talk.
"Do you really think that you have come this far unharmed except by the three erasers on the top floor"? Said Jeb in a booming voice. We stayed quiet until he spoke again " Number 14-21-4-7-5 and Fang Wolfe come down and join me, Mr. Chu, and number 13-1-24-9-13-21-13 for something to drink". We stayed there until he started talking again "Fine fine if you don't want to come down I'll just make you come down. Erasers come out, bring them over here" With that hundreds of Erasers flooded the stairs and hallway. Nudge and I started fighting them off with punches and kicks but nothing was fazing them there were to many. That was when everything went black and every part of my body ached. Man how much I wished I had taken the offer for the drink.
So so who like.
Review.
And I started wondering since one of my friends write stories and gives them to my teachers does she get secretly extra credit? I am goin to find this out.
And I wish it snows again I miss the cold snow hitting my face, it feels so relaxing.
If at least one person gets the secret code that I put in then I will put a Christmas special in just for you guys. And yes it is pretty simple code
