chapter 25

      I could not help but stare at him and remember all that happened because of him, yet I cant help but be grateful that Mrs. Martinez is with him and not soon loon. But I also could not help the small feeling and betrayal that she called him for help.

"Why is he here?" I turned to my biological mother, aware of the fact that Anita and the flock stood on gared.

   She sighed, a look of sadness overcome her feature. " I did not call him, he called me. He was the one that told me about the people that was watching the house and he was the one that gave us a place to stay as well. I know that non of you like him but as of now he is all the me and Ella have untill we can figure out who is behind this."

  I stared at her for a moment, trying to find a reason as to why he should be here. Unable to come up with a logical answer I sighed. "Well what do we do now? I have a idea of who is might be but its to dangerous to talk in the open."

   "Here." Ella pushed a crumble paper in my hand. "That's our current address. Once you put it into your phone tear up the paper."

  "Hurry everyone, its not safe to stay in the open to long." Mrs.Martnez herded Ella into the car with Jeb before turning to us. "Hurry now." Climbing into the passenger seat the three of the drove away.

  The flock and guest stared at the car until it disappeared before Nuge turning to the older members. "Are we really gonna go with them? I mean.... Jeb is with them."

  "Mrs. Martinez is with him so that must mean something."

   "Gazzy, Mrs. Martinez was not with Jeb and turned on us. Even if it was a little while."

   "Oh yeah, right."

   "What about Ella?" Maya said "Ella won't turn on us."

Max sighed at the others begun to argue about Ella's trustworthiness. Its not that she did not trust her sister, its the fact the Ella is pretty guilable when it come to the flock. With some golden words here and twisted facts there Ella could be working the him under the impression that its helping us in the long run.

  Max listened to the arguments a few moments more before intervening.

   "Ok! As of right now, sence we don't have much of a plan or anywhere to go we have to follow. But be carful, we don't know if this is true or not."

    "You cant be serous. Jeb cant be trusted." Maya pointed out.

   "But he all that you guys have as of right know. So suck it up and deal with it untill you can find some truth or something better." Max sighed. "Just remember to be cautious and be observant. Now get in the van there waiting on us."

   Slowly the teens and adults packed themselves into the van once again and  followed the car.

   After about an hour of driving the flock and there guest pulled into a medium sized house. The teens and young adults waited for Jeb to get within their line of sight before stepping out the van, heading towards the porch where Miss. Martinez, Ella and Jeb are waiting.

  Once they made it to the front door, Ella pounced. Pulling Max and Nuge along into the house, ranting about how they (and everybody else) will love it here. About the quiet and the nature surrounding the house.

   Once Ella calmed down enough to get a good breath in, they all made there way to the living room. Mrs. Martinez sighed smiling a small smile. "Now that everyone is sitting, me and Ella both would love to hear about your travels. You all spent almost all of your summer vacation on the road."
