"Where have you been, i've been waiting ages," moaned Zane as they flew side by side, weaving around buildings. "Sshhh," Tally whispered, "Were trying not to wake anyone, at your rate you will wake the whole neighbourhood." Tally continued in an agry whisper. She knew she wasn't really angry, Zane couldn't help it. He just cant whisper. "Sorry miss," Zane said in a sarcastic whisper. Tally nudged him playfully, "Right we need to get to sea for our mission to work."

"Mission?" Zane asked, "were not some secret agents about to take over the world."

"Sorry." Tally said instantly. They flew the rest of the way in silence, was this good or bad. Thoughts rushed through Tally's mind, she swiped a look at Zane, who was looking into the distance. Her eyes hovered a title to long and she nearly fell of her board when Zane yelled "DUCK!"

Tally dropped onto her belly, her board wobbling under the sudden change of balance, she gripped tight begging herself not fall off. Something gripped her hand, prising it away from the board, she nearly screamed but the warmth filled her veins. It was Zane's hand. A bright smile filled her body, but she hid it from him. Her board steadied and she breathed a smile of relief.

"What was that?" She asked.

"I don"t know, something large and oval shaped," Zane whispered, "But it definitely could have done some damage."

"Its probably just uglies, nothing to worry about, though was it made from?"

"Looked like metal, but i couldn't be sure."

"Hmmmm?"

They didn't talk about the metal ovals again, their minds were fully concentrated on the mechanism by the sea. It was square with enough seating to accommodate around six people. Zane and Tally had discovered it when they came here a few days back, they couldn't fully investigate then as there were Uglies on the beach, so they had wrapped it in a towel and hidden it in a small cove, behind the rocks and sand. It was ant very easy getting it from the beach, in fact they nearly broke one of their hover boards it was so heavy. They flew to the cove now doggedly ploughing in and out of the large boulders.
