Chapter 13, Our Old Friends (Max)

Let me tell you, looking for a blind mutant freak is very hard. We have been looking for days and days. We found nothing! I'm very mad at this point. I mean really, can't I just have one thing go right for me. We stopped at a diner for food. Thank God my mom gave us a lot of money, or we would have starved.

"Max I have to go to the bathroom." Angel said. I just finished eating my third burger and forth soda.

"Yeah me too. Anyone else have to go?" I asked.

"I do! Ice tea goes right through me!" Gazzy said and ran to the bathroom. I laughed.

"Come on Angel." she hopped up and took my hand. God I am so tired at this point. I just want to pass out on the floor and sleep for three days straight. But I can't. I need to find Iggy. I don't care if he's safe with some girl, I want him to be safe with us. I want us all to be together. I don't want to have some of us have and some over there. We're a family and a family should be together.

It'll be okay Max. Don't worry, we'll get Iggy. Angel said to me in though. Crap. I forget the child can do that. When I get all emotional and stuff it's annoying. I don't want them to see me like that!

Thanks honey. I know. Come on I really have to pee! I said to her.

Eww? She giggled. After our little trip to the bathroom I saw something in the window. A van. Not any van. It was the van that took Iggy. My heart dropped.

"Guys look." I whispered to Gazzy and Angel. Their eyes got big.

"That's the van the erasers had." Angel said. I nodded.

"Come on." we quietly walked outside and hid behind a wall.

"Okay so we take this route and then cut through here." a white coat said.

"Where are they going?" an eraser asked. They all shrugged.

"Well wherever we are going to scare the shit out of them." another said. They all laughed. Eww. They have the most creepiest laughs in the world. Eww, it's just creepy.

"Now we don't do it unless they refuse. Then we go. Just follow orders and the correct one. Leave the other to suffer." the white coat said. Okay now call me paranoid but I think they mean Iggy and the girl, Leila. That set me off. I walked up to them. Yeah I know. I'm insane.

"Hey, scumbags." I said. They all turned to see me. Of course they recognized me in a second. The erasers were about to attack when the white coat stopped them.

"Now, now. We are not wasting our time and energy on her." he said.

"What were you talking about?" I asked. He smiled. "I know you were talking about Iggy." I said. They all laughed.

"You mean 558?" he said. Oh don't you start with your numbers and crap.

"His name is Iggy! Now what do you mean leave the other one to suffer?" I asked.

"Well you see, they have some business with us to take care of. And if we don't get our way, well then we get a little angry. They will have to face the music one day. Don't worry, you will not be hurt in anyway. I can't say the same for your other two friends." he laughed. Now I was scared. I would of normally attacked them, but remembering how strong the erasers were last time I didn't. I back up and ran in the diner.

"Max, what's wrong?" Angel asked running behind me. I got to the table and grabbed Fang.

"Fang! The white coats! They're going to do something to Iggy and the girl!" I said. He gave me an oh-crap-look. "Come on! We have to help them!" I grabbed his arm and pulled him out the diner. No please don't let him get hurt. Why would they freaking do this! Oh yeah they are sick!
