I'm back and extremely tired, and it is currently raining outside… so much for taking my dogs out for a walk. Anyway, I have written up another chapter with a few surprises in store.
Raisa ana' Mariana: Someone seems excited…
MTCR'1-MR.2-ID.3MI.4-VA: Why thank you.
Dfire: Can't breathe!
Gazzy- Please refrain from seriously injuring this author (Kindding… Do as you wish)
Me- Gazzy…
Gazzy- On with the story! DISCLAIMER; the author does not own Maximum Ride!
Chapter 9: Evolution and 01
-Director P.o.v.-
"Director, sir, I have some news on the avians that you've asked about."
"Continue, Henry."
"Experiment 02's mood has spiked quite a bit. An unknown emotion has blossomed that has not been seen on our program for 3 years. 03 and 04 are still currently with 02, and they seem calmer than the rest. 05, 06, and 07 show signs of evolution and new abilities unknown to their creators." Henry explained, wiping his sweaty palms on his white, sterile lab coat. He was already preparing himself for the director's next question.
"What about experiment 01 that escaped?" the director asked, glaring at Henry.
"Director, sir, we have no news on her condition or her whereabouts. She seemed to have dropped off our radars. Alpha is still looking for her at this moment."
"I do not care if that eraser is still on the hunt for her! I want experiment 01's status and location this instant! She's the most important one at the moment!" the director hissed, her anger growing. She should've known that these scientists had no idea how much that experiment was worth. That experiment was the only one worth studying, and they let her slip right through their heavily guarded gates.
"What are you still doing here, Henry?" the director hissed out again through a clenched jaw.
"What do you wish for me to do, sir?" Henry squeaked, stepping back towards the door.
"I want you to find experiment 01!" she roared, pointing towards the door with a glare that could kill.
"Yes sir!" Henry half-saluted before dashing out the door and through the halls to his designated office.
"Why do I work with such idiots?"
-Third P.o.v. Flock-
It had been at least a week since the Flock had rescued that mutant that turned out to be Max. Everything seemed to settle back down through-out the house. Everyone was enjoying the time spent with Max, and she was starting to open back up. She even accepted Star, Kate, Ratchet, and Holden into the family.
They had all helped Max get comfortable with her new room. Fang helped her move the queen sized bed to the window, and he even fixed the cabinets (drawers) that held all of her new cloths that Nudge kindly bought. She smiled more and muttered a few "thank-you's" here and there before Iggy had called the whole family back downstairs for dinner.
"What's for dinner, Ig?" Max asked, walking into the kitchen to the kitchen to grab a cool can of pop from the fridge.
"Taco's and Spanish rice," Iggy laughed, pulling the crunchy taco shells out of the oven. He had remembered how much she had loved her mother's Mexican food.
"Sounds wonderful, Ig," she whispered, finding what she wanted and seated herself at the table.
"I would hope so! Wouldn't want a starving Max eating my face off now would we?" He mocked, twirling a wooden spoon in his hands.
"Don't tease her, Iggy, or she might just snap," someone laughed from the stairs. It was Fang, laughing at the glare Max had so happily given him.
"Ha-ha, Fang. Very funny if I say so myself," Max growled, popping the tab off the soda and taking a small sip.
"Kidding, Maxi," Fang drawled, knowing she would kill him if he said that again straight to her face.
"That's it! Come here, Fang!" Max yelled, jumping out of her seat and running after him. He chuckled and ran from the fate that was called "Max's Wrath." Iggy laughed from his potion at the kitchen while listening to their bickering. All he heard was their running and bickering before he heard the others running down the stairs and taking a seat at the table.
"Role-call, Nudge?" Iggy asked, turning towards the direction of the table.
"Everyone's here except for Max, Fang, and Total. I can see Max and Fang obviously, but I can't find-" Nudge started but was cut off by the black Scottie that appeared out of nowhere.
"Your wonderful, flying Canine-American has arrived!" Total announced. Max immediately stopped chasing Fang for a second and burst out laughing.
"What's so funny?" Total questioned Max. He let a slight growl escaped his muzzle.
"You're turning… into such… a drama queen, Total." Max gasped out between her laughter.
"Say that again, Max," Total growled.
"Total," Fang warned.
"You are turning into a drama queen," Max repeated.
Something happened at that very second. The air thickened and everyone was on high alert. Total, on the other hand, took three steps forward before Max saw his eyes. They were blood-red.
"Total?" Max gasped. He howled and lunged, but all of the sudden he changed into a large, black wolf. "No… This can't…"
"Total!?" Angel screamed when he lunged at Max's throat.
Max, seeing his quick lunge, transformed back into her wolf-self with a moan before jumping out of the way. She let out a frustrated and worried growl while circling the new Total. The whole Flock was in shock seeing their little Scottie change into a wolf and attack their leader.
"Total stop!" Fang yelled, snapping out of the trance. He needed to stop the two and figure everything out before someone got hurt.
"Max duck!" Gazzy yelled, getting up from his seat and running to Fang's side.
"This isn't good," Angel whispered.
-Director P.o.v.-
"Sir," Henry yelled, throwing open the director's door and making his way over to the director's desk, "we have found experiment 01!"
"Really? Where might she possibly be, Henry?"
"We caught a fluctuation of feat from 02, 03, 04, 05, and 06. It seems 07 is staring his evolution and has begun fighting another experiment. Experiment 01, sir."
"Excellent, Henry. Keep a close eye on them."
"Yes sir!" Henry saluted before disappearing once again.
"I've finally found you again 01… Maximum."
A.N: Oh Maxi, you've done it again. Until next time my dear readers!
