I still don't own Maximum Ride. James Patterson does. The End
We sat watching television in peace for about an hour. Ella finally woke Iggy up and began cooking dinner, steak stir-fry. Dr. Fantastic strolled through the door around 5:30. "Hi guys." She smiled. "Hey Brigid, how's it going?" I smiled back, turning on the saccharine sweetness. I felt Fang's eyes glaring at me. "Hey, where's Jeb? He was supposed to be here by now?" She asked suspiciously. "What do you mean?" I asked, getting worried. It's important to note that I wasn't worried because I cared if Jeb were safe or not, but rather how his absence would affect my plan. "We left the library together. Actually he left a little before I did. He should be here by now. Has he called?" she asked frantically. "Brigid, slow down. You were at the library with Jeb?" I asked calmly. "Yes, we were reviewing samples…of the Krelp mucus." She supplied helpfully. I took the hesitation as 'we were actually reviewing samples of…something I'm not going to tell you about' and waited for her to continue. She didn't take the hint. "Max, he's outside, but something's wrong. He's not alone." Angel interrupted. "I'll go see what's going on. All of you stay here. Do not come outside unless Angel tells you. Honey, listen out for my voice up here, okay?" I asked her gently patting her head. She nodded. "All of you, go into my mom's room. Stay in there until you hear otherwise." I concluded, noticing Iggy edging closer to Ella putting his hand on her shoulder and leading her back to my mom's room. "Is everything okay?" I heard Brigid ask Fang. "It will be fine. Just go." He said, putting himself at the end of the line to make sure everyone made it back safely. "Don't be stubborn." Fang warned me simply, glaring at me as he left. Me? Stubborn?
