What up home slices! Sorry it took me a while to post up this chapter. I've been having so many new ideas for stories but have to force myself to wait until I'm done with my other stories until I post them. Oh well. Here it is! The fourth chapter! I hope ya like it!

My flock and Miles' flock all sat in one big circle, each person sitting next to their look-a-like. Miles was sitting next to Fang, even though they gave each other a death glare as soon as they sat, Iggy sat next to Conner, Nudge sat next to Kat, but Kat was scooting a little farther away from Nudge. Probably terrified of her mouth going a two hundred miles an hour and won't stop. Gasman sat next to Dash, Angel sat next to Mini with Total on her lap and Mini petting him happily, and then came me, the only one standing and the only one who was going to tell the story about Jeb.

"Well, let us hear it Max. Tell us what you think about Jeb Batchelder," Miles told me.

"Just shut up and let her tell the story Miles," Fang spat. Miles gave him a dark glare, which to me looked completely terrifying, but to Fang, seemed just like a normal death glare which he shot back at Miles. What the heck is up with them and giving each other death glares like they're sworn enemies? Must be a guy thing.

"Okay," I started. "Jeb Batchelder, to you, may be like the coolest guy in the whole world. Oh sure, he may seem like the coolest guy on earth because he treated all of us like we were his own kids. He taught us how to defend ourselves, he played with us like a real father would, he taught us a secret language that no one else would know about so we and he won't get in trouble with the School, and he also helped us break-out of that School. But let me tell you Miles, underneath all that good-heartiness and fatherly love, Jeb Batchelder is just another monster from the School."

"Take that back!" Kat yelled, standing up from the ground. "Jeb Batchelder helped us escape from the School almost a year ago and he's never sent any of the pathetic Erasers from the School at us not even once!"

"Listen to me," I said, looking at Kat. "Jeb wasn't supposed to free you guys."

"Well duh," said Dash. "If he would've told the School that he was going to set us free, they wouldn't allow it and put us on major lock-down."

"I know that! But once the Erasers start coming for you, they're going to take you back to the School and keep on experimenting on you. And you know what; Jeb isn't going to do anything about it. He's going to threaten you and let the School do even more horrible things to you."

"That's a lie!" Mini yelled, also standing up from the ground. "You're just lying just so we could think Jeb is a monster and have us turn on him! Just because the School is after you and Jeb isn't doing anything about it probably means that you're all experiments that have gone completely bad and will probably turn into Erasers any second!"

Conner then got up from the ground with an angry look in his crystal eyes and started making hand signals, but really fast and hard.

Miles' flock then started to laugh and cheer.

"You tell her Conner!" Kat smiled, giving Conner a small punch on the shoulder.

I stood there dumbfounded. Man I wish I could read sign language. Well, by the way Miles' flock was laughing and cheering, it was probably hilarious to them but insulting to me.

Miles stood up and walked towards Conner. "Alright Conner, there's no need for that kind of language. But my flock does have a point. Jeb let us go on December 14, 2005. Two days away from being a whole year and not one single Eraser has come to take us back to the School. Why is that Max?" he asked with sarcasm in his voice. "Oh, that's right. Because Jeb is a good man and would probably even fight the guys at the School to leave us be! He wants what's best for us because we're like his children! He loves us and we love him."

I just couldn't get through to these guys. They all loved Jeb so much and just wouldn't believe that he was just another white coat from the School. Well, who can blame them? It's not easy having someone tell you that the person you really care about is as evil as evil can get. But I'm going to have to convince them sooner or later. But how?

I looked up at the group and saw a scared and unsure look on Iggy's face.

"Iggy." I called him. He looked up. "What's wrong?"

Iggy looked down at his boots for a couple of seconds and then looked back up at me, whispering in a very faint whisper, "Erasers."

Well, that's the end for that chapter. Sorry for it being so short, but I hope you liked it and are ready for the next chapter. I'll try to post it up soon. Peace!
