"Percy. Are you ok?" I nodded and half smiled at the fact that she had worried about me first, and not Fang. Speaking of which, I am still blown away from that little out burst he had. I mean jeez, had he never heard of anger management? I shook my head to clear it of bad thoughts towards Fang, and walked over to Max's bed. I carefully grabbed her hand, so as not to hurt her already damaged wrist. Fang gave me a look that totally fit the definition of ' if looks could kill'. I ignored it, and looked down at Max.
"Good." She said weakly, smiling at me. I swear that Fang almost had a heart attack, but Max didn't seem to notice. He just cleared his throat and said, "So, how do you think those erasers found you?" Max finally looked over at him, and shrugged.
"I'm not sure. I mean, now that that chip is out, I don't see how they could track us." She said. Chip? Like one of those things they put in dogs to track them down? Jeez. They had some pretty wacky lives. Fang nodded.
"So," She said, "What now?" Fang seemed to think over her statement, and then said,"We should leave here. Go somewhere further away, so they can't find you again. Of course, that is, after you heal and everything."
"I'm Maximum Ride, remember? I'll live." She said. It took me a while to process what Fang said, but then it finally clicked. They were leaving, going far away and probably not coming back. "No!" I said.
"I-I mean, I now a place. Where you'll be safe, and those things won't be able to get to you. Me and Grover live there." I said, to make up for my sudden outburst. They looked at me with a mixture of curiosity and suspicion, but Max said," I say we go with him. I mean, its probably our best chance." Fang nodded reluctantly, but he looked kinda mad.
"Alright, but first we have to go get the flock." He said. Max started to get up, but her face contorted in pain and she let out a strangled wimper. It broke my heart to see her in pain ( as sappy as that may sound. Men have emotions too, ya know?) , and was about to help her but Fang beat me to it. He gently pushed her down, and whispered,"Careful Max. Still got those broken ribs, remember?" She nodded and smiled slightly at him.
I turned away, but then turned back and said," Tommorow. I'll be here at one, ok?" They agreed, but not before Max gave me a quick goodbye hug and whispered in my ear,"Thank You."
I grinned in response, and whistled for blackjack (a/n that is his name, right?), and we flew into the night.
