Avery leaned up against the frame of the door, watching the meeting. The air was
charged with electricity, both from the team’s anxiousness and the storm that was raging
outside.
When they’d discovered Mallory missing and the room trashed, the group had
taken the problem to the mannager, Fergeson, but he too was missing. On his desk was a
very disturbing note to the ducks decrieing his love for Mallory, and how’d he’d taken
her to a place in the mountains where they could be together forever. Great, dude. He
hadn’t been smart enough, luckily, to cover his tracks.When Wing and Tanya searched
his apartment, they’d found brochers everywhere dipicting a waterfall not to far from
there. Now, they were deciding what to do from that point on.
“Some of us should stay behind, to guard in case he comes back.” said Nosedive.
Avery switched her attention to the teenager. Affection swept through her, and she
couldn’t keep a faint smile from playing across her lips. Though not attracted to
Nosedive, the two were best buds. In fact, they were supposed to go check out the new
thrill park in LA together. ‘Scratch that.” She thought.
“I agree.” Wildwing glanced at the rest of the team. “Three here, and three go for
Mal. Any volunteers?”
“I should go, to transport you guys there.” Remarked Avery.
Wing nodded. “I’ll go, and Dive, why don’t you come with us? You’ll be good
backup.”
Nosedive gave a thumbs up. “Roger that!” Wildwing regarded the other
three.”Is that all right?”
Duke raised his hand into the air. “Fine with me. I can watch the home front.”
Tanya and Grin agreed.
Dive brushed a stray hair outof his face. “So when do we go?”
“Now.”
Avery closed her eyes and mumbled an incantation. Within moments, the three
had the consistincy of ghosts, and then faded altogether, with only a whisper left in the
air.
