Max and Nudge sat in the cab quietly. They didn't have any belongings except the clothes they were wearing. they both were wearing black skinny jeans, black t-shirts, and black sweatshirts. The cab pulled up in front of 2 story house. The cab driver honked its horn and moments later s woman stepped out who Max and Nudge assumed it to be Mrs. Martinez. She opened the cab door closest to Max and held out her hand. Max scooted back. Mrs. Martinez gave Max a reassuring smile and said "don't worry I wont hurt you". Max gingerly took Mrs. Martinez's hand and got out of the cab. Max then held her hand out to Nudge who got out of the cab.
They walked up to the front door. Mrs. Martinez opened the door and waved for Max and nudge to enter. Hesitantly Max walked in followed by Nudge. they heard laughter coming from what was probably the family room. "Boys quiet down and get in here" Mrs. Martinez yelled. "Boys" Max thought. She held a shaking Nudge to her as 4 boys entered the room. They all looked to be around the same age. Maybe a year older. The boys were staring at the girls. "this is Max and Nudge" Mrs. Martinez said "i adopted them". The boys kept staring at them. All Max could think about was "what is the quickest way out of this house". "Now introduce yourselves" Mrs. Martinez told the boys. "Ari" one of them mumbled. "i'm fang" said the one with long black hair. "I'm Iggy" the boy with strawberry blond hair said shyly "I'm Gazzy" the blond haired boy said excitedly. " will one of you show the girls to their room" Mrs. Martinez asked the 4 boys. "I'll do it"Fang said. He escorted both girls upstairs and said "your room is at the end of the hall. Dinner will be ready in 5 minutes. Then he left.
Max and Nudge just stood there for a second still in shock. Max eyed the window which had easy access to the roof. Max opened it and she and Nudge slipped out and sat there gazing at the stars.
"Why did you adopt them" Ari asked. "Are you trying to replace Ella". The name of their deceased younger sister rang threw their ears. Mrs. Martinez stopped what she was doing and turned to face Ari. "How dare you think i would try to replace Ella" Mrs. Martinez shrieked. She was no on the verge of tears. She turned around and continued with what she had been doing. The tension in the air was thick. Ari sat at the table receiving very unhappy glances from his brothers. when dinner was ready Mrs. Martinez sent Fang and Iggy upstairs to get Max and looked in the girls' bedroom they didn't see them. They looked around then spotted the open window.
Max and Nudge sat outside. Max turned to look at nudge and saw tears streaming down her face. Max herself had been trying to fight bak her own tears but she couldn't any longer. Tears slowly began to fall down her face. They had just escaped from their old foster home and just like that they were being dragged into a new family. Max turned her head around when she heard a noise. Her eyes widened when she saw Fang and Iggy standing behind them. Nudge turned her head around as well and like max she was also crying. both boys looked shocked. They stepped forward towards the two girls. Max and Nudge showed no signs of trying to move. Iggy sat next to Nudge and fang sat next to Max. "We know you were hurt" fang said. "And we are sorry that happened to you" Iggy finished. "But we wont hurt you and we are you family now so you don't need to be afraid any more. We will protect you" fang said. "We promise" Iggy added. Nudge now sobbing, hugged Iggy. This surprised him but he wrapped his arms around her and held her as she cried away all the pain and shock she gad been hiding. Max still crying hugged her sobbing becoming louder. Fang pulled Max in to his arms and hugged her. She was shocked but she didn't care. After all the pain she and Nudge had been threw, they needed some one to just be there for them.
After dinner Ari went upstairs. Ari slammed the door to his room. he picked up his phone and dialed in an unknown number. "Yes they both arrived" Ari whispered into the phone. "No one suspects a thing" Ari said. "how soon are you going to get them to me?" The man on the other end of the phone asked. "Don't worry. Max and Nudge will be yours in no time" Ari said into the phone before hanging up.
