This takes place around after the secound book of maximum ride and around the begining of the 4 season of Castle. Once Beckett is back and so on. This will not correspond to anything going in the books after the secound one and nothing after about the first two episodes of Castle. All characters belong to James Patterson and the makers of Castle. ~Hope you all enjoy~
The flock and I have been flying for quiet a while now. We finally reached good old New York again. I'm planning to just keep going until we reached a less populated area. Looks like the erasers have other plans in mind though.
It was strange. This time there were only a few of them, actually less then us. We were ready for a fight though. With my adrienale pumping, I alerted my flock and we rushed at them. We were all ready to clash into battle. I mean for once wr out numbered them. so if we could take the regular amount without getting killed (though still a few of us seriously injured) we could easily take these guys.
Then, surprise number two happened. They flew away from us. Sloppy and bad fliers but they still retreated causing us six bird kids to come to a sudden halt. I looked over at Fang confused. Fang only shrugged in response, though the slightest confusion did appear in his eyes.
A few erasers and no fight? Something had to be wrong. At first I was expecting an ambush of some sort and by looking around at the others, they had been too. It never came thought.
"Max, look." Nudge said pointing to something on the ground.
Police, as it appeared, were showing up around a body on the ground. At first I was wondering why Nudge even pointed it out. That was until I noticed the wings and familar looking hair.
"It's your clone.." Fang mumbled.
"Let's land behind that building over there. Maybe we can get a closer view." I instructed calmly.
Questions buzzed in my mind. Did those erasers kill her? I thought they were on the same team? And if the erasers didn't kill her, then what did? All these questions and no answers. If I've learned anything, it's that sometimes the hardest thing to find is an answer.
We flew down landing behind a building. It appeared to be a warehouse type because it was empty and dark inside when I looked in through one of the windows. Thankfully, it was early in the morning. So those who were up were either at work or on their way to work, so no one really noticed the six bird kids landing behind that building.
I made sure to stay away from the scene. We hid back by the building, trying to stay out of the way of other but also trying to get a good look at Max two's body. I figured we were pretty safe, no one seemed to notice us or our wings before. I had tried to plan out our landing so no body did. But it seems plans have been changing.
A dective at the scene, as he appeared to be, stared at us. His dark blue eyes looked fascinated and intrigued... And on us. He appeared to be in his late 30's, maybe early 40's. For his age, I guess you could say he was ruggedly handsome.
