(Well if you had read about the part about Aubrey making all her chickens disappear in the cemetery, oh never mind.......)

The Rooster ate a bug on the ground. A leafy looking huge one fell from the sky. This place is complicated, thought the Rooster. He screamed a rooster scream when he saw a bird fly overhead.

 

[RacehorsesRock]

Dryden heard the scream and cursed. "D*** rooster..."

 

[RoostersAreAwesome]

Yeah.//

He sighed and ran his hand through his dark hair. "Look, all I know is were rescuing some P.O.W. That's all I know, No-Name might know more." he said and glanced around. He took the phone back out of his pocket. The text was from Char, who had somehow gotten his number. Thanks alot big bro. Not. Why would you abandon us? Why Dryden?!?!?! The text read.

"No! I'm on your side child!" He yelled as the rooster hurt his ears. He winced and almost shot lasers at the animal, but decided against making the kid most likely cry.

"I don't trust you, or her," said Aubrey pointing to Sammy cause she thought that sounded cool.

"Yeah? Well, we can't have people who don't trust us around. Right?" he looked at Sammy. "So I guess I'll have to kill you."

"No, no, she's my friend! I'll shove a chicken down your throat otherwise!" Aubrey screamed.

"Calm down kid, I don't kill my teammates." he said.

He rolled his dark black eyes and sighs. "If you can't trust your team, you shouldn't be on the team."

"I wouldn't call it killing, more like making you a living Tinkerbell." he said. Of course she didn't know what tinkerbell was, it was 80 something years ago.

Char was still crying, but heard her phone ding and knew it was Dryden. She had gotten her number from her intelligence database. She pulled out the phone and it was sure enough Dryden. Whatever Dryden. You betrayed us, and that's that. I can't..I can't forgive you. She typed and pressed send.
Dryden: I know..just know I'm really sorry. Where r u guys now?
Char: Uhmm...I think..Canada? I don't know, I can't tell cuz my trip was gone.
Dryden: What trip?!?!
Char: For gods sake, I meant chip. *curses autocorrect*
Dryden: Well, I gotta go. Cya.
Char: Cya.

(I wrote that while I was in the parking lot of Wal-Mart picking up their WiFi. Guess I didn't realize what I had her do. )

As Dryden's attention was fully viveted to the chicken-wielding girl, Ash slid out from behind a tree just ahead of the group and almost soundlessly materialized next to Sammy. "I'm right to...erm..." She let her words fail as she realized she was attempting to talk behind someone's back who'd just reiterated aloud seconds before that his hearing was extraordinary. Nice one, Ash. Her eyes flicked to the ground before Dryden could pass his unnerving eyes over her and she continued forward alongside Sammy, her mouth still stupidly agape at her own near slip.

"Are random people gonna keep going behind my back, trying to kill me, then acting terrified of me?" he asked, annoyed by everyone's actions toward him. Either visibly hating or terrified of him. 99% of the time he liked that, but the other 1% of the time he wanted to be normal.

Ash visibly jumped at being outright addressed. She then stumbled backward over a jutting root, and barely caught herself from falling with a convenient tree trunk. Her whole face lighted red with mortification that he'd clearly caught her voiced distrust. "I'm sorry," she muttered, hanging back now. Her head began its usual descent to weakly hanging, when a sudden surge of uncharacteristic daring had her snap back to face him. Unconsciously, her fingers trailed up to the pen on her neck and she fingered it so he'd be able to see the closest thing she had to invalidated defense. "At least it's obvious that I haven't the means to kill you."

Sammy flinched as Ash seemed to materialize next to her. She was about to warn her to run away or something, but Dryden had already seen her.

"Well, just know I won't hesitate to kill you." he projected a video out of his eyes. It was a video of his lasers shooting the guards head off, then the head rolling down the hill. He blinked and the video went away.

She shuddered as the unwanted memory was torn from her own mind and replaced before her eyes on a hovering translucent screen. As it dissipated, a shudder ran down her spine and she pummeled a fist into her back to redirect her nerves. "I know you won't," she muttered, hurrying on alongside Sammy. And that's why I'm wondering if I'm going to see tomorrow.

Dryden shook his head. Everyone here knew he wouldn't hesitate to kill any of them.

She marched out of the woods. Obviously he had not heard of the ancient meme, so she ignored the fact she had tried to make a joke for once in her life. Striding into the clearing, she put her hands on her hips. "Forget the chicken. I had to ditch Firestein's King Air because you left at the exact wrong time. Where were you?"

The Rooster turned his head and made a gong sound . Firestein. He didn't like that guy. His pupils changed shape as he zoomed his vision on Dryden. He didn't like that guy. He hopped off of No Name's shoulder. Did she work for Firestein too? His spurs came out with a shing! sound. His eyes studied each like chameleon eyes. He stretched his legs, and flapped his wings.

Dryden raised an eyebrow at the chicken. "I see the chicken wants to end up at KFC, ay?"

"Yeah, well, it was a personal mission, okay?" He argued.

"I dunno. And I don't care. All we have to do is find Chase and Silence him." She said, brushing past him.

Dryden nodded and glanced one last time at the chicken before following no-name. "Is there anything I could track him by?"

She clenched her jaw. Had he not paid any attention to the instructions of this life or death mission? She rolled her eyes. She could probably do it all herself. But, no. She had to drag a butt load of wide-eyed, untrained kids to 'help'. "No. He doesn't carry any kind of electronics. He could literally hide in plain sight around here."

No-name pushed through the thorns, "No, not really." She said to Dryden, "Not in woods this thick. Heat-sensors are only really good where there aren't a lot of animals."
In the trees, every kind of bug and bird imaginable hummed or screeched or screamed. The land of birds, this was. Not many large predators, other than the occasional feral dog. "Chase did a pretty good job hiding himself, just a stupid location. Nice of him to make it convenient for us, though. Hiding on the same island as the Sound."

She could almost feel the eye roll in his words, and grinned. "Well, makes our job easier. Especially since we had to ditch our plane because somebody wasn't there. But yeah. Nice when they make it easy on you. Like a vending machine. Now all we need is a nickel."

Sammy summoned her courage and stepped right in front of Dryden and No-name. "I won't continue on this mission if I don't get any answers!" she said, her voice almost cracking. She was trying to sound brave, even though she was fully aware that Dryden could easily melt her with his lasers.

Dryden's eyes were red again as he looked at Sammy. "What do you want an answer to?" he asked, raising an eyebrow.

 

[Amer]

The Rooster widened his eyes. This was more serious than colorful birds, but he felt a connection to here, where some junglefowl live. But he felt he was not deriven of them, but of Aubrey, so he was a cousin.

 

[RiverStorm]

"Leona? Thank goodness your okay!" He said.



(XD they might!)



"I'm coming river!" He picked Leona up and followed river's voice. When he found her, he set Leona down. "Stay." Rex told Leona. He reached down and started to pull the thing holding river down.
"Go. Quick!" Rex said, struggling to keep it up.

River threw herself forward and landed with a thud, panting "Okay. Never. Want. that. To. Happen. Again." She glanced at him "Thanks. And I`m glad your okay." She said.
Blood seeped through her pant leg.
