Chapter Twenty-Two: Brody
Maple and I took out everyone in human form, that my parents were controlling. As we looked around, I saw Delbert scolding the foxes that were also controlled by my parents. I walked over to him in time to hear, "We never attack people. It's rude. Do you hear me? Look at all of the people that you hurt." He gestured to all of the people that were awake and in human form. That's when I realized that two things were off about the whole scene.
1. Maple wasn't there.
2. My dad wasn't there.
I frantically looked around, and Delbert noticed. He started sniffing the air.
"What are you doing?" I asked.
"I have a better sense of smell than you. And hearing. Now shut up." I did as I was told and let him listen and smell the air. "Chloroform. Your dad. My sister. Two miles North. I don't know how he got that far that fast, but lets go."
We started running but we weren't going fast. I stopped him and asked a question that seemed so obvious, but he didn't realize it. "Can't we go get a car and find them? It would be so much faster."
"But it would take more time going back to get the car and then finding our way back here. Wouldn't it? We've been traveling for days. Here's what we'll do. I shift into my fox form and you get another fox to get a car, bring it back here, you drive it North, and find me and Maple. Your dad may or not be with us. If he is, I'm sorry but he may not be alive."
"Don't worry about it. I'm not so sure I want him alive anymore than you do." I ran back and looked for someone, taking not of which way Delbert went. "Someone needs to go get a car. I would but I'm not fast enough. Just bring the car back here and I'll go get Delbert, Maple, and most likely my dad's corpse." Two people turned into foxes and ran back the direction that we came.

A little bit later, someone came back with a beaten old truck. "Perfect." I said getting in and driving North. After a few minutes I had gotten five miles and I saw Maple unconscious, and Delbert standing with her. I jumped out of the car and ran over to them.
"Your dad got away. Sorry." Delbert told me.
"It's fine. I'm just happy you're both okay. Should we wait or take her to a hospital?"
"We can't take her to a hospital, but we can put her in the truck." We got her in the car and started driving back. It was a silent drive, but I think we both needed that. Maple was still unconscious. When we got back to where we had left everyone, Maple got a text. Delbert picked up her phone and I looked at it over his shoulder.
I'll explain everything. A text from Jason.
Delbert decided to question him later and we got a few other people into the truck before anyone else changed into a fox and we drove back.
Once we were back, I got a phone call. It was from a number I recognized, but couldn't remember. I answered it anyway, "H-hello?"
"Brody?" A voice asked.
"I'm not talking to you right now." I said before hanging up on my mom.
