Iggy: Ecjarecke11 does not own Maximum Ride!

Me: Why'd you cut to the chase like that? Don't you ever just relax and live in the moment?

Iggy: Life is too short to live in the moment.

Me: Too short! TOO SHORT! Are you kidding me! Life is the longest darn thing you can ever do!

Iggy: Very true...

Me: And now, I present to you, Soul Searching: Chapter Seven!

Misty POV

I rested against the back of the cage, bored out of my mind. Iggy, next to me, was fiddling with something in his hands.

"What's that?" I asked.

"Bomb," he said quietly. "I'm hoping that I can create a distraction, then get out of here."

"You make bombs?" I ask, dumbfounded.

"Hey," he said, slightly offended. "You've seen me cook and kick Erasers' butts. Don't tell me I can't make a bomb."

"Okay," I said. "Can I see it?"

He handed it to me. "This is cool," I said. "But if you put the fuse over here, it might make it louder, which would cause more of a distraction. If you moved it closer to here, though, it would do more damage..." I guided his fingers over to where I was indicating. He felt around on it, then thought for a minute.

"You're right," he said hesitantly. "How did you know that?"

"When I was trying to get out of here, I tried all kinds of methods," I said. "An explosion was what finally got me out." I grinned, then put his fingers up to my face so he would know.

Iggy nodded thoughtfully. He paused for a minute, then asked, "Would you happen to have a paperclip, by any chance?"

"What for?"

"Once we create the distraction, we'll need to find a way to get out of these cages," he said.

"All right." I reached into my pocket and found a hairpin. "I don't have a paperclip, but will a hairpin work?"

"Sure," he said. I passed it over to him. Now we just had to wait for the perfect moment to set it off...

Max POV

I looked up at it and gulped. I couldn't turn back now- our friends were in there. "Okay guys," I said. "here's the plan. Fang and I will sneak in, and-"

I didn't get to finish my sentence before I heard a loud explosion coming from inside.

Iggy.

Misty POV

The bomb finally went off, and it was quite a nice loud explosion if I do say so myself. Iggy instantly began working at the lock. Finally when he was out, he began mine.

"How bad?" Iggy asked.

I looked down the hall at where we had rolled the bomb down to when one of the whitecoats had opened the door. "Pretty bad," I said. "It blew a hole in the roof, should take about a month of repairs."

Iggy grinned. Once I was out, we both instantly flew out of the gaping hole in the roof. I heard a cry from inside: "The experiments have escaped!"

Iggy and I grinned, then slapped high fives. I looked down. Finally, finally, we had gotten out of that horrible place. I was so incredibly happy that I hugged Iggy. Right in the middle of the air. And if you think that that is not possible, well, you had better think again, because you are wrong.

We landed on the ground, and who should be waiting there for us but Max and the flock. Well, the flock except for Angel.

"Where's Angel?" I asked.

"She isn't feeling that good," Max told me.

I nodded.

About six hours later we were back in Arizona at Dr. Matinez's house. God, it felt so great to be back with the flock. It was like I was whole again.

Yay! They have been saved! And now, another person to try to convince you to review. Now I give you...NUDGE!

Nudge: Hi! YOu should review this story! It is the most amazing fanfic in the history of the universe and OMG don't you think that Misty and Iggy make such a cute couple! THey should totally go out but I think that that might be coming up in the next chapter! And also-"

Me: Thank you, N udge, I hope that that inspired many of you to review!

Iggy: SO just review! For the sake of your poor bleeding ears!
