Sorry I did not update on Friday my internet crashed sadly. This is a short chapter. The flock uses the secret language they mentioned in book 2 School's out forever (I wish) the translation is in the brackets. Please Review and enjoy and if you don't tell me why you don't like it I don't even care if it is in flames. I do not own the epic series that is Maximum Ride.

Chapter 7:

Jeb took Aquila to his office once the other white coats said decided against further interrogation and that she just needed to be monitored carefully. Over the past six days of hell Aquila had warmed up to the flock but still was very reserved and stayed where it was quite so nothing could push her to far and make her activate the Exousi`a state and end up killing everyone on the spot, which was probably the reason she got on so well with Fang since he too kept to himself and did not make allot of noise but Aquila still disliked Jeb with all of her soul. Aquila never spoke directly to Jeb and never listened to any of his commands. She didn't see why she should despise all the other white coats and make an exception just because Jeb was a 'nice' white coat, as Nudge put it.

Jeb put Aquila's crate down and knelt in front of the door. Aquila moved away from the bars not wanting him to get to close to her. She could sense that the bird kids were also in the room. "Aquila," Aquila flicked her ear at Jeb. The brown haired man sighed he knew that was the best form of acknowledgement he would get out of the two-year-old wolf. "Listen, you are still a prime suspect for these murders until there is evidence in your favour so I suggest you obey and listen to what the I tell you." When Jeb finished he unlocked the cage and swung the door open.

Jeb stood up and addressed the flock who were watching him with curious eyes. "The scientists are still trying to find out who has been killing the Erasers so you most likely won't have too many tests to do this week."

The flock grinned, happy at the thought of not being tortured, till Jeb left the room. "He's gone now." Iggy stated looking in the general direction of Aquila's crate.

"Iggy, my ears are far superior to yours I know that Jeb is gone." Aquila whispered as she stepped out of her cage and shook herself roughly before stretching out her heavily muscled body.

"Did you do it?" Max asked as Aquila moved over towards the flock who was seated in a semi-circle. Aquila knew Max was referring to the fact that she might have been the murder. Fang looked at the corner of the room and the rest of the flock followed his gaze, except Iggy of course. Aquila snorted when she saw the camera that was trained right on her.

"Kuv tsis paub." (I don't know) Aquila said speaking in their secret language the flock had taught her a couple of days back. Aquila was a fast learner and had no problem learning the language designed specifically for this type of occasion.

Nudge looked confused, "Tae anak meannytha pana kiledkona magova thevu naka?" (what do you mean you don't know don't you keep track of who you killed.)

Aquila took a second to translate the sentence, "Ked' som stratil kontrolu aj dint pamatat vel'a z toho, co sa stalo." (When I lose control I don't remember much of what happened.)

"Tak to asi ne?" (but it's probably not you, right?") Fang asked wanting to clear up any this confusion.

"Myslim, zew jsem to ja," (I think it is me,) Aquila said sadly, "To by vysetlovalo strelnou ranu." (It would explain the bullet wound) She looked at the gash in her leg which had appeared that morning. She knew it was a bullet wound because she had been shot many times before when she lost control.

"This makes no sense I mean come, on how can any of this possibly add up?" Max cried waving her arms in frustration and breaking into English again.

Aquila sighed and lay down on her side. She was depressed now that she had told the flock why she thought it was her. It was as if admitting it aloud made it real. She closed her eyes and growled softly to herself. Why did she always get stuck in the middle of these horrible problems? That's what got her sister killed. Aquila sighed again, her life had gone from horrible to horrible jumping of a giant cliff with wings tucked in and blunt spikes at the bottom of the cliff.

Aquila jumped slightly as she felt hands brush over her bullet wound. She saw Max passing bandages to Fang who was wrapping the throbbing bullet wound. She smiled in her mind. Who would have thought the principles of a pack and a flock would be so similar.

Autopsy room with the dead Eraser

Four scientists stood around an Eraser sized table staring at the dead Eraser that lay before them. Dr Elena was staring intently at the body. "The slashes on the face are post-mortem but the ripped limbs are pre-mortem." She pointed to pointed to an exposed shoulder bone, "The striations on this bone show whatever killed subject 92 had claws." A man standing next to Dr Elena wrote down all the clues of who had killed this Eraser. Dr Elena said not to automatically suspect subject 7 because that would cloud their judgment.

Striations on the shoulder bone= something with claws. Eg. Eraser; subject 7,67,32,0,25,96,102,356 ; large dog ect.

Dr Brooke placed his tweezers inside the shredded stomach and pulled out a hair. He put it in a glass dish and handed the dish to a girl standing behind him, "Take that hair and run it through the DNA scanner."

"Right away, sir." The girl scuttled off in the direction of the door.

"The killer is not an Lupine-human hybrid because these teeth marks on the neck are serrated." Dr Elena said running her gloved finger along the bite mark.

Teeth marks= something with serrated teeth. Eg. Subject 7;32;26;102, really scary Labrador/boxer/akita.

The man holding the note pad peered into the crushed skull, turned a shade of green and put down the note pad and walked stiffly out the door. Dr Elena watched him go before also looking into the skull the difference between her and the man was she did not turn a shade of green or walk away despite the shredded and squished brain that had splattered along the sides of the skull.

Dr Elena took a piece of Litmus paper and ran the edge of it along the brain. She lifted the paper out of the skull and looked at the results. The litmus paper turned bright red. Dr Elena was a little shocked by this. The paper should have indicated a weak acid instead of such and acidic substance. "The killer should have access to poison."

"Um, Dr Elena the writer left."

Dr Elena turned around, "I knew that, find someone who is not losing their breakfast and tell them to come here and assist."

"Yes, ma'am."

Dr Elena wrote down on the note pad the new information. Dr Brooke turned around when he heard the girl he had sent to get a DNA sample come running back to him. She panted before handing him the papers her face very pale. Dr Brooke handed her a glass of water. He read the papers silently his hands shook as he read the last line before he handed the papers to Dr Elena. She carefully read them.

DNA test shows Subject 1.6's DNA and DNA unknown.

How can this be? Dr Elena thought, Subject 1.6 was killed two years ago. I killed her I did the autopsy I am the one who burnt her body how can it be Subject 7 mother killing these Erasers. Who does the unknown DNA belong to. Dr Elena sat down on a chair. What is going on? How deep and un-dead does this story go?

That was fun. This chapter is short because its allot of new information to figure out and the second week of exams has killed me. One more week of exams to go then this story can get 45% of my attention, the other 55% goes to my horses, sister and family and horses the my next show...with the horses. An akita is a type of dog breed similar looking to the husky and wolf if any of you were wondering. Bye, please review I am deprived.
