Max's POV
Oh my god, I can't believe I'm saying this, but Mel has me really excited for the carnival. She's been here for the last three years, and she says that the Carnival's the best part of the secession (apart from the dance, I mean). She said that if nick is going to ask me properly (he better if he wants me to go with him), then he's going to, most likely tonight. I really hope he is, or else, I probably won't be going. It's not like I can go with Iggy, or anything. I've noticed with my super sharp deduction skills, that he's forgotten his asking for a French girl, and had his eye (figuratively) on –you guessed it -a certain miss. Melane O'Keefe. I think she likes him too, but hasn't noticed that he likes her, and vise versa. The only problem is, that if they do get together, they'll be torn apart within a few days, cause camp will be over, and if you haven't noticed, we don't exactly have a mailing address.
Which was as it happens a most unpleasant shock when my letter, the one I had only thought about writing, that I had never written down, not to mention sent, had been returned, by none other than James Patterson, himself! It said:
My dearest Maximum Ride,
Yes, I am spying on you, and Yes, I'm telling the public. The reason for all this, is to let the world know. They deserve to know about Itex, and your destiny to save the world. The reason I do all that, is because I am the voice. Jeb is just one of my many aliases. So, yes, you have met me in person, and know me quite well enough to know that I am doing this for no malicious intent or purpose. You must understand that while you are my daughter, and the future savior of the world, you are still only part of the bigger picture. Your Petty thoughts (as well as your rudeness towards me) are no longer being kept private, as part of my plan for WORLD DOMI- I mean the saving of the world from evil companies like Itex. They are bad, and are polluting MY- I mean our (of coarse our) planet and must be stopped.
Save the world Max!
Your loving father,
Jeb (AKA James Patterson)
Just another thing to add to my already perfect (a/n: Note sarcasm) day. My father wants to use me for world domination.
