CHAPTER 17:

"Now, will you tell me what the heck's wrong."
"I'm fine. Let's go." is all Tiger said to me. We walked for a while. Now that I'm not so angry, I'm starting to enjoy this walk. I took a deep breath.
"Is something wrong?" Tiger asked.
"No. It's just so ... peaceful. Ya know."
"Yeah. I agree." he said. Not really happy or sad. Or anything pretty much.
"Let's go back to Rick's house." I said. Fresh air is good, but not when it feels like Jack Frost is trying to sandblast your face off.
We walked through the door and not a fourth of a second later Chazz blurted "Rick is like us!" quite loudly.
"Shhhhhhh!" he hissed. Literally. As in like a cat. As in like us.
"Be quiet! Yes. I'm a mutant. Exactly like you." Rick sighed.
"You showed him your ears!!?" I yelled.
"No. They didn't. It's a long story about how they found out. I have something important to tell you. My name isn't really Rick. It's Sennet. I track and free others like you. Some have gotten ahold of computers and made blogs. There's one group I want you to help me with." Rick, er, Sennet explained. This is a little fast.

CHAPTER 16:

"Hey! I see him" Britt yelled excidedly. She took off, raceing Chazz to Rick's house.
"Should we catch up with them?" I asked Tiger.
"Nah. Lets stay back." He replied. Okay those of you paying attention, tell me, is this the way a guy acts when he likes you? I really don't know. I've never mat a guy who liked me like that. Or a guy my age at all, except for Tiger.
Soon Chazz won to Rick. He seemed to be a nice guy. He slapped Chazz a high-five and encouraged Britt.
" He seemes to be a nice guy." I said.
"Hmm." was Tiger's reply. I don't think he trusts Rick. It's probably because he hasn't been around many people.
"Hey! You guys must be Muse and Tiger. Are ya hungry? I made hamburgers." Rick said happily.
"Yeah we're starved!" Chazz replied as he ran in.
"I also have some veggies ." Rick said as we followed him towards the kitchen. Soon the kittens were in their seats and I was asking them what they wanted to drink.
"Do you guys like Dr. Pepper? I've got plenty of it." Rick called out, his head in the fridge.
"Dr. Pepper sounds great. Do you want some, Tiger?" I asked.
" I'll have water." he mumbled as he walked towards the cups.
Just as he was about to fill his glass, Rick said, " Don't drink the city water. It tastes bad. Here, have a bottled water.", and he tossed Tiger one.
"It's allright, Muse, do you want it?" Tiger asked as he handed me the bottle.
"Sure. I don't need to have a whole lot of sugar any way." I replied and took the bottle.
"Can I have some cheese on mine?" Chazz asked.
"Me too?" Britt chimed in.
"Of course. You guys want any?" he asked me and Tiger.
"No thanks." I replied. Tiger didn't say anything. His arms were crossed over his chest.
"Before you dig in, we need to pray." Rick announced. He siad a short prayer and we ate.
"This is great!" Chazz said after his first bite. I shook my head in agreement.
"Thanks. Hey, I forgot, does anyone want chips?" he asked and held up a bag of barb.q. flavored chips.
"Nah." Brittany and Chazz said at the same time. I shook my head no, and Tiger kept eating.
Once we were done Rick offered Chazz a turn on his xbox 360. And Brittany the magical internet. I love the internet. He even showed her the best sites.
"What do you want to do? I've got games or you can wait till one of the other kids are done." he offered once he was done.
"I'm going out for a walk." Tiger mumbled as he grabed his hoodie.
"I'll go too." I said and followed Tiger out.
"Don't be gone too long." Rick said as we walked out the door.
"What is wrong with you! Why can't you be nice and at least talk to the guy?! Why are you acting so rude?!" I said as we left.
"I don't know. Ugh. Please. Please let us leave soon." Tiger said. Something was wrong. I could tell. Maybe I shouldn't have exploded.
"Okay. We'll rest. Two days tops. Then we'll leave. Deal?" I said.
