Okay, a little bit of a time skip with this chapter. I am so sorry I haven't uploaded! I had year 9 NAPLAN testing, dancing exams & classes, tests and assignments plus Eisteddfod dramas and our dance school is moving locations. Jeez I sound like such a whiner… On with the story!

We're in the middle of a P.E. practical exercise. We have to meet at a specific location at a specific time, exchange a coloured bit of paper (filling in for important top secret files) for another different coloured bit of paper and take it to another specific location at a specific time. We have to do this without getting a 'tail' or getting captured by the 'enemy'. You're probably thinking:
Why even bother with something like that? You did stuff like that every day, right? Meeting at different locations in different time frames and exchanging important information, just get the piece of paper and fly over the top. All the enemies will think you're a bird…
Ha, yeah I wish it were that simple. Unfortunately for us though they took EVERYTHING into consideration when they planned this thing. They have 'enemy' helicopters constantly whirring and whooshing over the top of us so we can't take to the air without being seen and most probably caught.
So now I'm currently crawling through a narrow alley roughly 2km West of our set meeting point with 30 minutes to go on the timer to get there. I totally wish I had Fang's power of invisibility right now; even Angel's ability to control and manipulate minds (and many other freaky powers that I won't list here) would work. At least I have still have my super-human strength and senses to work for my advantage.
Fifteen minutes of scrambling around on my hands and knees later I finally get to the end of the smelly back alley and back on the main street again...and...almost immediately I have a tail. Ok, this is getting absolutely ridiculous this is 10th time I've gotten some 'enemy' watching my every move. Except for one, tiny little detail I failed to mention, this tail is not any old tail...this is a FANG tail. No, you didn't have cotton wool stuck in your ears (just to check, if you thought I said, "I managed to successfully reach my destination within the allotted time slot and without getting any tails whatsoever." You have cotton wool stuck in your ears) you heard me correctly. FANG is my tail.
I haven't seen Fang since Iggy, Gazzy and him got into the other limo and drove off to another school. And the only reason I saw him now was because I've seen him disappear before, if not for that knowledge I wouldn't have noticed him at all standing in the shadows against a wall as he was. How did I know he was the tail? Believe me, I know Fang, seen him in action before as previously stated, I know how he acts while following someone. The only question now is... how do I get him off my trail?
