A lot of you probably looked to the right, and noticed how long the scroll bar is. You also probably got mad at me for making you wait so long for such a shot chapter. But what you don't know, is that I'm working in the next chapter. Yup. I'll probably have it up really soon, because this is a mean cliffie. Yes, I did just laugh evilly. This chapter is the beginning of a ton of more chapters with nothing but suspense and action. Don't worry, I still have a long way to go before the end. Buckle up. Let's Fly.

I rested my head on my knees as I watched Fang to make sure he was okay and tried to think of a plan. I clenched my teeth as I realized that there were so many different routes of action we can take. The first, but most unlikely to succeed, would be Fang and I sneaking inside, somehow overhearing how they were going to execute the Bi-Half plan exactly, then figuring it out how to stop it (probably by destroying some sort of device,) destroying said device, then escaping, hopefully having a few spare minutes to take out The Director before we left.

Yeah right.

We would be lucky if we didn't get shot in the first five minutes of that plan.

Plan B: Sneak in, assassinate The Director. I liked that plan. The questions "how would we do it," and "would I be able to," buzzed around my brain. I steeled myself and shut the second thought down. She had killed my family, I would be able to return the favor.

Plan C: Get out of here now, go find the Flock, and hide out until after the Bi-Half plan (which we had been programmed to survive) was over.

There was no way I'd go with Plan C. I convinced myself that, in my head, there was no Plan C.

Fang sat up, quietly groaning as he rolled his neck.

"Feeling better?" I asked.

"Just peachy." Fang replied. "Any ideas yet?"

"I'm working on it." I replied.

"I'm guessing your first idea is assassinating The Director, right?" he asked. Dang, that boy was perceptive.

"Close. First is stopping the Bi-Half plan, then assassinating The Director."

Fang nodded knowingly. "I'm guessing that plan involves us getting out of here unseen first."

"Yeah." I sighed, looking around.

"Well, that's easy." Fang said, standing up. "It'll only take about five minutes to get in, I can go for that long."

"No way!" I immediately protested. "You could have killed yourself, you are not making both of us invisible for a while.

"Fine. Then I'll go in alone, find out what's going on, then come back and get you."

Was he insane?! "Are you insane?! You've got to be kidding me." I stated.

Fangs shrugged. "I could only hope." He paused, studying the door. "Do these things even open from the inside?"

Just like Fang to find the fault in our plan at the very beginning. "Shoot." I muttered, getting up and walking over to the doors. I studied them for a moment, fingering the space where a doorhandle should be.

"You won't have to worry about opening them." A voice from outside said.

Before I could react, Fang had janked me away from the doors and slammed me to the ground. Next thing I knew, I heard a boom and a flash of white light as my eardrums ruptured.

The white faded to black.

Bwahaha, so evil. Anyway, sorry if that wasn't the greatest chapter, I'm recovering from a headache. Oh, and I don't think I've said this in a while, I do not own maximum Ride. If I did, this would be on the shelves and not on FANfiction. Oh, and by the way, the purple button is extremely lonely.

Yes, I know, sometimes I take too long to update. Do you know what you can do to change that? Review. Or, if you really want me to get moving, send me a PM telling me what you thought of the latest chapter and to get my lazy butt moving. Yes, that's right, go ahead, tell me to write! I need motivation if you don't want me taking FOREVERR… ;-) Next chapter should be up soon though :D

Oh yeah, and did anyone else besides me re-read MR4 and conclude that it was pretty much "new power time and public service service announcement with the Flock?"
