A/N: READ!!

wow. its good to be back. i liked writing that twilight fanfic (jame's story) but none AND I MEAN NONE of the twilight readers review (except for TwilightobsessedOECD, thanks again!) So, I am very glad to be back with you guys and writing stories for you. And, has anyone voted on my poll? the one asking which you prefer, wings weapons and whitecoats or liquid poison? if not, please do so. And, about this novel. it reveals a more selfish side of Jeb. A jeb ( no matter how much i dont think he would do this in the actual books) its a more selfish side of him. yeah..thats all i have to say for now. hope you enjoy! chapter 2 will be posted soon and mostly likely in Max's POV. TTYL! (oh one more thing...in the first book, Angel says to max she couldnt get anything from Jeb's mind, "its like he was dead or something." this is where i got the idea of Jeb being murdered and brought back just like Ari. So yea, thats where that idea came from.)

Chapter 1:

Author POV:

Jeb watched from a window at the Itex headquarters in Germany. His expression was blank as he watched right before his eyes, the creation of the Flyboys in the factory down below. Afterwards, he would watch them train, watch them grow and develop, like the Erasers did. Like his son, Ari, had.

The thought almost brought tears to his eyes. Ari had expired, not so long ago, and there was no hope of bringing him back. Unlike before, when his neck was snapped, he was brought back by the reattaching of his spinal cords. Once you expired though, you were dead. Long gone. The Whitecoats did not give a care for you. You were just another failure of an experiment. An experiment gone wrong.

But to Jeb, Ari was his son. No matter the bond between them, how little it was, they were still father and son.

Jeb was currently working in the Itex castle in Germany. He had met with Marian Jansen previously before, but only once. It was why this came as a shock to him when a Whitecoat spoke to him, telling him Marian Jansen wanted to speak to him immediately.

"She is in her office and would like to speak to you immediately, Jeb."

Jeb nodded, the shock not yet worn off his face. He followed the Whitecoat down the hall and through doors and other hallways. They all looked the same, pure white floors and walls with no windows, no hint at all of existing.

They reached a door different to all the others, where the whitecoat stopped.

"She is expecting you."

Jeb nodded and went inside.

Marian Jansen was sitting behind her desk, a stern expression on her face. Jeb immediately took in the mood.

"You wanted to see me, Director?" Marian would respond to that name, and that name only.

"Yes, I'm very glad you could come."

Jeb held back a snort. If he decided not to come, he would have been taken by force anyhow.

"As you are aware of," she continued, "six avian human experiments are on the run still, are they not?"

Jeb looked at her evenly and did not break his gaze.

"Yes, Ma'am, they are still on the run. We have not been able to track them yet."

She sighed. "the story of my life, is it not? I've had my last straw with these experiments. And, I am aware of, you were once very close with these experiments?"

This was a rhetorical question, Jeb knew that. Records had already shown and proven the connection he had with Max and her flock years ago. He answered anyway.

"Yes, I lived with them for two years."

"And do you remember when you returned from living with them?"

Jeb nodded silently. Of course he remembered. He had been killed. And then brought back to life.

She nodded, pursing her lips. "Jeb, I am here to make you responsible for the capture and killing of these experiments. Do you understand?"

Jeb did not speak, waiting for her to continue.

"If not, I will have you turned back to your original state. Do you remember? You will be taking dirt naps. Comprende?"

Jeb's eyes widened in shock, and then they went back to their original state.

"Yes, I understand."

"Good. You're dismissed."

REVIEW!
