And Try Not To Get Killed.3.
School??
Max's P.O.V
"Thanks, not that it is any of your business. And don't read my mind!" she just smiled up at me like she always does when I'm trying to tell her off. Ah well. I looked round at my Flock, Fang was smiling at me and glaring at Iggy and Gazzy. Gazzy was explaining that Fang was giving them both death glares whilst looking 'lovingly' his words not mine. Nudge and Angel were planning mine and Fang's wedding. Wait, what?!?
"Angel Nudge, calm down you're starting to hyperventilate." Then my head began to split and Jeb wasn't just talking in the calm voice I'd grown used to. He was practically screaming, hysterical and desperate.
"Max!!! Itex is going to take over the world!" Jeb's voice was amplified so loud I clutched at my ears as I sunk to the floor.
"Jeb, you're killing me!" I moaned inside my head. Images and the name of a town and the state it was in flashed through my mind.
"Go to the high school there! They are experimenting underneath the building itself! They plan to convert the whole town into killing machines! You don't have long! You must stop this!" Then the pain was gone and I was just left with the town's name, Payson, Arizona.
"Max, are you ok?" My Flock surrounded me with concerned looks plastered on their faces. I nodded.
"We need to get to a starbucks."
"Yes!" Fang murmured.
"What?" I asked.
"I can update my Blog while you enjoy a nice hot beverage."
"Nice try but I'll be on the laptop," I took a deep breath. "Looking for a telephone number for Payson High. And looking for a house." I tensed, ready for the onslaught of moans and groans.
"But Max I don't want to go to school! We have to save the world, remember?" Nudge said desperately.
"Something has really spooked Jeb. He was screaming thoughts at me. He's usually so controlled, he was saying Itex have built a lab under the school in a town called Payson. The white coats are going to change the whole town into evil killing machines.
"I'm sorry about before, I did not mean to hurt you. The scientists at the lab are going to inject the towns people with a mix of chemicals that will make the person change into a monster, strong, smart and devoid of all emotion. Well apart from anger and pure evil. They are merciless and they will be used to take over the world. Itex is going to somehow release a catastrophe on the world. I am not sure what that is yet. Whatever it is it will weed out the weak. Only the strongest and smartest will survive. They don't want you interfering by saving the world again." Jab was once again in my head but at least he wasn't making my head feel like it was on fire.
"Where do the evil mutants come into this?"
"They will be released on the world at the same time as the other catastrophe. You must stop that from happening."
"You wanna give me any dates, times?" I asked.
"In the next three weeks. This time next month, if you fail, the world will be full of mutants and the handful of survivors. I must go now, good luck."
I rolled my shoulder and decided I could fly. The Flock were watching me again, eager to know what the mission was.
"We're going to Payson. Itex is going to do something that means the strongest of the humans will be the only ones left, they're going to use mutants to do it. Think Resident Evil and you're on the right track."
"What's in Payson?" Fang asked. "Apart from the lab, they have labs all over the world, why is this one so special?"
"They have invented a drug which turns humans into killing mutants. The only emotions they feel are anger and hatred. They're strong and smart. The residents of Payson are going to be the first humans to be converted. We're leaving, now." The Flock all got to work packing belongings and five minutes later we were in the air. Headed to Payson, and the evil mutant lab.
