[Max]

You would think after all the running and hiding we'd know better then to just waltz into a dark empty building. Normally I wouldn't allow such a stupid thing to happen but this time I did. Like always we were running away from Erasers, one of them had injured Iggy and the only thing on my mind was to loose the Erasers and check out his injuries.

Fang busted through a window and we entered an empty warehouse. Nudge and I gently put Iggy down and pulled up his blood soaked shirt. Angel let out a small cry, Gazzy's face turned white, Total whimpered, I gasped and Fang looked away with closed eyes. A long tear went across Iggy's stomach and went deep.

"Is it that bad?" He asked, trying to look down. But the pain enabled him to do so.

"Max we have to get him to the hospital." Nudge said, tears running down her cheeks.

"Honey you know what would happen."

"But at least he'll still be alive."

I looked at Fang for help but he kept his face blank. I gave him an annoyed glare and looked back at Iggy. There was nothing we could do for him; he has to get to a hospital. Maybe Angel can persuade the doctors and nurses to not tell anyone.

"Okay, we'll take him to the hospital and work it out from there." I said.

Fang and I held Iggy up and started walking to a busted door just ten feet away. Gazzy and Nudge pushed the door open and it let out a dreadful shriek. We all stopped moving and listened. It was possible the erasers were still in the area and calling for reinforcements. After about a minute we started moving, the only noise was Iggy's heavy breathing and Totals nails clicking against the ground. We quickened our pace and headed for the nearest street. I could hear the sounds of car honking and people cursing.

For a moment I let myself relax. The Erasers wouldn't be that stupid to expose themselves in public view. But I should have known better then to think things were going to go as planned. Something heavy and smelly hit me in the back. A strange noise came out from my mouth and I flew forward, letting go of Iggy and sprawling across the ground. Fang landed right next to me. I heard Nudge and Angel scream, Total barked and I heard him let out a small dog squeak. Someone kicked him.

Iggy let out a painful moan and I head his body hit the floor. I sprang up on my feet and prepared to kick ass but stopped. Ari's foot was planted on Iggy's neck, ready to crush it.

"Hello Maximum." Ari smiled, revealing his pointed teeth. "Long time no see."

"I swear Ari if you hurt Iggy I will kill you and make sure you don't come back to life." I growled.

"Don't be that way Max," he pressed on Iggy's neck and smirked, "you are in no position to be threatening me. After all Jeb has no use of this blind bird kid. All he wants is you. Now if you don't mind, get on your knees and put your hands in the air and let me friends tie you up. Any sign of resistant and poor little Iggy will find himself dead."

"Don't do it Max!" Iggy managed to yell. "Run!"

I got down on my knees and raised my hands. All the while glaring at Ari. Fang followed and so did the others. Our wrists and ankles were bound and duct tape put over our mouths. We were lifted and put inside a van. Iggy was carelessly tossed on and he moaned in pain.

I had no clue where they would take us but I hoped the ride would end soon. It was crowded in here and the Erasers smell nearly made me choke on my own vomit. The van lurched and my head banged against the door. I could see Fang struggling against his binds, so was Total. My main concern right now wasn't escaping but Iggy. I swear if he dies I'm going to kill Jeb and Ari with my bare hands!

"Got them." Lucas said. "If we leave now we can get them at the end of the road. They also seem to be guarding some thing, I count five in total."

"This should be easy. Get Kel and Victor, it shouldn't be too hard to kill five wolfman." I looked at the map that was spread out in front of me. Considering where to ambush them, normally a wolfman or flyer travels alone when going into or out of the city. But so many coming out is really suspicious. They have to be guarding something worth stealing and destroying. I heard footsteps running up to me and without turning around I pointed to a bend in the road. "We attack here. If anywhere to run we could easily find them. Everyone have their weapons ready?"

The three nodded their heads and I stood up. Victor easily picked up Kel (The smallest) and started running. I shoved the map into my pack and followed. Lucas led the way, adjusting speed and direction. We finally came to a stop and knelt down, fully concealed by the over grown bushes. I took deep breaths. Even though I'm 15 I'm not as fast as I use to be. I hope my mutation isn't started to go away.

"Victor you stop the van, Lucas and Kel jump onto the roof and shoot. I will see what they're protecting."

Victor jogged to the other side of the rode and waited.

"They should be here in five minutes." Lucas said.

"Can you sense what they're guarding?"

His yellow eyes looked at mine and he shook his head. Something confused him and normally that doesn't happen to him.

Kel spotted the van first, while I had to squint to make out any sort of shape. It moved closer and I detailed it more.

It sucks to be Victor.

The van moved closer and it was only feet away. With one leap Victor jumped into the middle of the road and I heard the sound of crunching metal and tires screeching. He sled back a few feet. Kel and Lucas ran and climbed onto the van, guns already to aim and fire.

All happening in mere seconds. The three wolfmen from the front stumbled out and both shot in the head, dying instantly.

Two jumped out from the back and I raised my gun, hitting on in the leg. I ran forward, leapt over the fallen wolfman and looked inside and for the first time in months became dumbfounded. Tied up kids.

With wings.
