Major Niggy and Fax!! Please R & R !! Takes place after MR4! I do not own any of the characters in the story, James Patterson does.

Fang pov:

I glanced over to Max. Boy, was she beautiful! I don't know why I couldn't see it before, but she was the only one I would ever truly love. Her light brown hair, streaked with golden blonde, stopped a little below her shoulders. Everything seemed so perfect about her, even the

slight edge to her made her even more wonderful! If only I could pull myself together enough to tell her how I felt! Right now we were all sleeping in a cave off the coast of Oregon. After being in Antarctica, captured, breaking free, then escaping the new " School" we were

supposed to go to with mutants like us, it all ended up to nothing. We had no place to go and Max's little " helpful" voice brought us to... right here, in this cave, in the Black Hills mountain range of South Dakota. "Max I'm hungry, can I get something to eat?" Nudge

complained to Max, first making sure Iggy wasn't anywhere near to hear her whine. Something was up with those two. They had been really close the past couple weeks, don't know why, but I'm sure I'd get it out of Iggy sooner or later.

"Sure Nudge, here you go," Max handed her a pre-packed peanut butter and jelly sandwich, " now try to go to sleep, it's late." Soon everyone was asleep, which left just me and Max. It was a cold and breezy night, I was hoping she would want to be closer to me because of

this. Just then, she scooted closer to me until our shoulders were lightly brushing together. Ahhhhh... now this WAS perfect.

Max pov:

Everyone was soon asleep, so it left just Fang and me. I knew it could never work out, but I loved Fang so much! I can't believe I was such an idiot before! Yelling and getting into fights with him. Now, it seemed like the air was clear between us, but I was hoping we could

have a closer relationship. It was a freezing night, so I hoped the next move I was going to make wouldn't be taken the wrong way. I slowly scooted myself over to Fang, a couple feet away from me, just enough so that our shoulders were touching. He let out a heavy sigh

and barely moved a little closer to me. What was that? No idea... but I was guessing it was a good thing. His head turned towards me and I stared into his dark brown eyes. I leaned my face in a little closer and he did the same. His head swooped in and his lips so close to

mine... suddenly he stopped. A look of confusion spread acrossed his face, "Max do you hear that?" I turned towards the direction he was looking at, and listened intently. There was a light scratching sound to the right, outside our cave. My breath froze. A Flyboy's outlined

form shown in the opening of the cave, shining brightly in the moon.

" Nudge, Angel, Gazzy, Iggy, Total, 12 o'clock get OUT!" I nudged them with my boot. They all quickly awoke and switched to alert mode. It was going to be a real fight... especially since now there were about 60 of them, enclosing our only way of escape!

My head was throbbing and my leg felt like it was on fire from the bullet that had knicked it. We had barely made a dent in the amount of flyboys that kept coming. The flock was now outside of the cave, fighting with all our mights. There seemed to be thousands of them

flooding in from all over the mountains. I was kicking and punching every piece of metal in sight. All the flyboys seemed to be programmed to say was, " Get Maximum Ride. Get Monique. Bring them to Director." Why did they want us? Who was the new "Director" ( because

there seemed to be a lot of them)? No idea. All I knew was that I was fending for Nudge and my lives! Fang was badly hurt, one had shot him in the arm and it was streaming out blood. I couldn't see Gazzy or Iggy anywhere (probably getting ready to explode something),

and Angel somehow managed to control flyboy's minds and made them shoot at each other. As for Nudge and me, we were trying to keep them from capturing us. The effort was useless though, flyboys just kept coming! Three flyboys soon gripped my arms and legs, holding

me in place. They did the same to Nudge and no matter how much we tried to get away, they wouldn't let go!

Fang pov:

They had captured Max and Nudge and were trying to take them away! I did everything I could to try and get to them, but four flyboys had pinned me down so I couldn't move. Angel was screaming at the top of her lungs and I could barely glimpse Gazzy and Iggy trying to

get to Nudge and Max too, but soon they were pinned as well. How could I do nothing when the love of my life was being captured and taken away (probably to her death)?! "Maaaaax! Nuuuudge!" I yelled to them over and over again. It was all I could do, if anything. Max

was squirming and trying to get away but they held her tight, and one kicked her in the head. Her once hate filled eyes were soon closed as she was drifted into unconciousness. How could they do this to her and Nudge?! It was all I could do to stare back at the swarm of

flyboys taking Nudge and Max away from us, into the sky. Then, it was all over. The flyboys let us go and Nudge and Max were gone from us. I couldn't believe they had just taken them from us with nothing I could do! Suddenly, I remembered the searing pain in my arm from

the bullet that had got me.

They would regret EVER taking Nudge and MY Max away from me...
