Revenge of the Giant Robot Chickens Read Online Free PDF

properly angry. That was never good.
    “Where should I start?” I asked, trying to be professional. With Cody in this state it wouldn’t doany good to say that I didn’t want to work with Blake.
    “Go have a word with your sister.”
    He turned and, without one more word, walked back to where Percy was still sitting. Hunkering down in front of him he passed the black-haired lieutenant a bottle of water and helped him drink it.
    I turned away. Cody was right. The chicken should never have got this close to us. It just confirmed what I’d been suspecting for a while.
    One of us was a traitor.

CHAPTER 6
    “Noah, wait up.” I saw him walking back towards the train station, where a lot of his gang still hung out. He turned and flashed me a smile.
    “Rayna, thanks again for everything in there. That was really quick thinking on your part.”
    “Blake probably had it handled.” I brushed off his praise but smiled inside. Noah had a talent for making people feel pleased with themselves. “I just wanted to talk with you a bit, get an idea of what you thought of the attack.”
    “You mean about the spy?”
    I nodded. I’d told Noah about my fears a few weeks ago. It had been worrying when he hadn’t just laughed and called me paranoid.
    It began with small things at first. Chickens appeared unexpectedly when we were on undercover missions; a few secret outlying groups got picked off; people travelling under cover of darkness got jumped. But it was happening more and more often.
    I couldn’t imagine who would do such a thing. And I didn’t even like thinking about it. But I had to accept the fact that someone was telling the chickens vital information about us.
    “There’s no way the chickens could have known we’d be in there,” I said, lowering my voice. “Someone must have told them.”
    “Any idea who it could be?” he said.
    I shook my head. “Someone who knows a lot of information. The attacks are too accurate, too often. I…”
    Noah shook his head slightly, his eyes flicking back over my shoulder. I turned to see Sally approaching.
    “Hi.” She smiled at us. “Thank you so much, Rayna, for protecting us from the Catcher.”
    “Oh, it was no problem.” I looked at Noah uncomfortably while he grinned back.
    “No, it was very brave. I just froze up. I don’t think I could stand up to one of them like you do.”
    “Well, you know…” I really didn’t like getting praise for fighting chickens. All I’d done was hit it a few times. Blake had been the one with the big gun. “We’ve all got our jobs. You grow potatoes and I deal with problems like that.”
    “Yes, I suppose you’re right.” She paused and stared up at the blue  sky. “It’s a lovely day today. Really beautiful for late summer.”
    Sally was kind but I found her polite chitchat very tiring. “Sorry to be rude, Sally, but I need to go and get a new shock-stick.”
    “I’ve got work to do as well. Bye Rayna, bye Noah.” She waved her hands airily and floated off. We looked after her for a second.
    “You’d expect gardeners to be more down to earth,” I said.
    “Oh, hush. She’s a nice person.”
    “I know. She’s just so… happy.” I looked at my watch and then back at Noah. “I really had better be off. I’ll talk to you later?”
    “Definitely. Take care. And play nice with your sister.”
    “Only if she plays nice with me,” I muttered and stalked off.
    ***
    I found Hazel where I expected to, back at the hotel entrance, preparing to clean up the mess Blake had made of the chicken. To find her, I just had to follow the sound of revving engines.
    The Brotherhood needed supplies to make our weapons. Apparently the chickens had planned to set up a Catcher factory in Aberdeen and ship them off to wherever they were needed around the world, but we’d driven them out before that could happen. We’d been using the tools and materials they’d left behind, but now that they were running out we used everything we
