A.N- So I lied again. No change of POV in the chapter, sorry about that. I'll try to do that as soon as I can fit one in.

Sirens Are My Friends

April 10th (I'm putting Dates now)

It's 11:48 p.m. now; almost time for my daily walk.

A few days ago, Zaila had told me that her boss (Dr. Pedo) wanted to give me more scheduled walk times. He thought that by not having to pick the times that I would get less stressed. That dick…

One of the only freedoms I had here was picking what times I wanted to walk. I mean, I was pregnant, I had mood swings. I didn't always want to walk at the same time each and every day, but I guess I had to endure. It was the only way I would find Kate.

I'd been looking for almost two weeks now and still hadn't found her. I'd even had the nerve to ask Zaila once, but she told me she couldn't tell me. Of course, I never actually thought she'd tell me, but I had to try…

So anyway, this building only had one floor so that made it a little easier. Not a lot though because this one floor was fricken endless! I'd checked out west and south sections.

Every single room that had a window, I'd looked into. Even the ones that didn't have windows, I'd tried my best to listen into to see is Kate was inside.

Every window to the outside I saw, I looked out of. I found out that we were in a desert somewhere (don't ask me where). I found this to be a problem too since I would have to carry Kate. If things were different, and we were both not pregnant, then it'd be a piece of cake to carry her, not sweat (get it, desert, no sweat…Never mind…). But the truth of the matter was that I could barely carry myself for long. I wouldn't be able to carry Kate, let alone a pregnant Kate. What am I going to do?

"Max, it's time for your walk." I hear from my door. Hm. When did that open?

"Oh, yeah, coming." I say, looking up at the clock and then back at the door. Zaila was opening it for me and when I'd stepped out, she closed it back up behind us.

"So Max, how are you feeling today?" She asks me kindly.

I shrug. "Fine, I guess. I got some fruit salad today… It had pineapple." I tell her, nonchalantly.

"Oh, that's nice." She tells me, sounding distracted.

I look up at her and see that her eyes are fixed on something in front of us.

I dismiss it quickly, thinking that she might just have something on her mind or something. I didn't feel life asking her about it though, so I keep quiet. She looks down at me again as we continue down the hall. "So, where to today?" She asks me with a smile.

I think for a bit and decide I wanted to start looking in the east section today. We stop at a hall that leads to three others. I pick the one straight ahead (eastward) and we start walking again.

We walk for a bit, I look through some windows casually, and try to listen into the windowless rooms. Right as Zaila tells me it's about time to leave, I see something. I see a room exactly like mine; all white and pretty furniture-free. Another thing that caught my eye too, along with giving me déjà vu, was that it seemed almost as if a bright light emanated from it- like my dream.

I tried to not get my hopes up so I wouldn't be disappointed when I found out it wasn't Kate, but I couldn't help myself, I was hoping.

"Max, we have to go now." Zaila told me. I could hear a smile in her voice, but I wasn't sure why.

I turned back from Kate's window as calmly as I could, and not smile like a crazy person. "Alright." I tell her, and then we start walking back.

"So, do you feel that these walks are helping you? You know, so you don't have to stay still all the time." Zaila asks a while later.

"Yup, they're great." I say, and then we're back to my door.

"That's good." She tells me. She looks behind her as if checking for eavesdroppers, and then looks back at me with a casual smile and talks in my head. 'Okay Max, listen, I don't have much time to talk to you like this before the suspect something. I'm blocking both of our minds, so don't worry about that. You know how Jake told you there are many people undercover in Itex to gather information; well I'm one of those people. You have to believe me. Here-' I hear her say quickly in my head, and then she puts her hand on my shoulder.

When her hand touches my shoulder I see a flash of light and lose my sight of the outside world, while seeing all memories of her talking to Jake or Jeb in my head. The flash only lasts about a second, but in that second I experience years' worth of interactions with The Voice. After seeing all that, I feel I can trust her completely. Yet, the skeptical part of me was just hoping she wasn't powerful enough to make up memories and trying to trick me with them.

'I told Jake your location and they should all be getting here very soon, alright? You know where Kate is, you have an exit, now all you need is a big enough distraction which the Flock should be able to give you.' Less than ten seconds had passed through all this and to anyone who saw, it would have only looked like an awkwardly long pause. Now she walks me into my room. 'Good luck Max. I'll do anything I can to help, if you need it.' She smiles, "Well, I'll see you tomorrow Max. Sleep tight." She says, then walks out the room and locks the door.

Once she'd out I hear, 'Oh, and don't think about what I told you. There are more mind readers here than just me. My mind block over you will wear off with distance and your mind block wont work on all mind readers.' I give her a mental nod and start thinking about food, and how hungry I was.

I sit on my bed and only a few minutes pass until I hear a loud siren. I smile.

A.N- I feel like this story is repetitive: Max getting caught, then being rescued by the flock, and then the same thing again. It's already happened like three times hasn't it? I'm sorry about that:/ Also, sorry this is so much shorter than my usual.

Q.O.T.U- Would anyone out there want to work on a story with me? *Puppy dog face*
