Here is Chapter 10 for you. Chapter 11 is almost finished and I'll post that ASAP. Thanks for the reviews! You guys have been awesome! Can I get 10 reviews for this Chapter before I post the next one? thanks!
Disclaimer: I have not written one of these in this story yet. It's probably time I do so. So, here it goes...I don't own MR or the Characters. JP does...still...however, I am planning a plot to get it in my hands! Just kidding. It will always be JP's.
Chapter 10:
MAX POV:
I became more shocked at myself as I told Jeb what was going on. I realized I needed Jeb. He was my one hope for survival. And yet, as I told him every little detail of my most recent night events, I felt more and more uncomfortable. When I was finished, I asked:
"So, you going to tell me where you are right now, Jeb?"
He sighed on the other end of the line and didn't talk for a long while.
"Max, I'm living in a motel for a few days. How about you meet me there."
I thought about asking him why he was living in a motel. But then decided not to. Might as well keep the peace until I knew I was healthy. Then I could start the snide remarks.
"Fine. Where is it?"
He gave me the directions and I felt a little excitement. Jeb's motel was close to me. The faster I could get this done the better.
I picked up speed, unhappy again that I couldn't do my super speed, and in a fifteen minutes, I could see the Motel Jeb was staying at.
I did a quick recon, making sure no curious passer-by's were watching, and then dove down a couple hundred yards away of the motel. I found the room Jeb was staying at, and knocked.
There were some shuffling footsteps on the other side of the door, and then he answered. Jeb was in jeans, a white t-shirt and…
I gulped and froze in my tracks. A white coat.
I found my words, a second later.
"Hello, Jeb." I said as politely as I could manage.
He frowned before he spoke. I guess it didn't sound all that polite.
"Hello, Max. Come in."
He moved aside so I could come in. I was in a stuffy motel room, similar to the one we had recently stayed at. I sat down on the bed and looked up at him with wide eyes.
"So…" I trailed off and began starting at the sealing.
"So…" he repeated, continuing to stare at me.
"Gotten any further on the antidote, Jeb?"
"Actually, I have. I know what the tracking method was made out of."
"So?"
"So, now that I know what it is made out of, it is easier for me to reverse the effects on it. Like Dr.Martinez said, we won't be able to take it out. We will have to inject something into you with the reverse effects. I also know why it has had these effects on you.
I nodded, encouraging him to continue.
"It seems to of reacted to the bird genes in you. If this were to be injected into a regular human being, the results would be what it was made for, to track. But, because you are 2 bird, it seems to react differently to you.
I nodded again, this time thinking.
"How long do you think it will be?"
"It's going really quickly at this point, but I never know for sure."
"Ok."
I stared up at the ceiling, avoiding Jeb's stern gaze.
He cleared his throat and I looked back at him surprised.
"I need to get back to work. I have a lead and I don't want to lose focus now."
That's fine. I'm going to go get a bit to eat anyway. I'll be back this evening." Saying these words reminded me of the time when I was living back with Jeb. When we went out and told him we would be home soon and not to worry. The memory brought a stab of pain to my heart.
Jeb nodded and turned away from me, examining some liquids on a table behind him. I forced my eyes away from the needles and opened the door, flying out into the air.
I flew up, up and away! So high that I could feel the air thinning and my breathing becoming more ragged. I did large loops and nose dives, enjoying the wind against my back. I was so absorbed in my acrobatics that I didn't see the moving cloud toward me.
Erasers?! My mind thought immediately. Then, as the objects moved closer, I could see that there were only 5 of them. Five birds. Five avian-human hybrids.
