Hey people! I'm sorry it's been so long. I've been so overbooked lately. By the way, I just saw the Percy Jackson movie! I think it was pretty good but they left a lot out of the movie. Any on with the story!

Me: Iggy, disclaimer!

Iggy: Silentflier does not own Maximum Ride or N.C.I.S.

Me: It's very sad.

Fang P.O.V.

We were packing up our make shift camp. We had to find Max. I grabbed my pack and got into flying position.

"Flock, U and A!" I commanded. We all spread our wings and took off. I looked around at the flock. They were all pretty shocked. Angel looked really sad; I could tell she was scanning with her thoughts. Suddenly, last night came back to me.

~Flashback~

It was Iggy's watch. The only time I actually relax. Nothing gets past Iggy. Suddenly Iggy's head shot up. He crawled over to Max and gently shook her shoulder. I stood up too and began to wake the younger ones. They all woke silently, just like they were trained. Then, without a warning, Erasers and Flyboys shot through the trees. We all got into fighting stances. Then all hell broke loose.

I launched a snap kick at an eraser and sent a swift right hook to his head. I began punching every eraser and flyboy I saw. I sent a roundhouse kick at a flyboy's spine and he crumpled. I looked around and did a head count. I saw each flock member holding their own. But I couldn't find Max. Where was Max?

Just as I noticed this, all of them retreated. I ran through the woods looking for Max but I couldn't find her! Eventually I gave up and went back to make sure the flock was ok.

~End Flashback~

Now we were using Angel to see if she could pick up Max's thoughts. We're somewhere over Maryland, I think. We kept flying. I kept looking at Angel and she kept shaking her head in defeat. At about 9 o'clock I noticed that the flock looked dead on their wings. (A/N haha Flock humor)

I found a place to stay. I put the flock to sleep and took first watch. Once Iggy woke up for the second watch I was exhausted. I fell onto my sleeping bag and immediately fell asleep.

Max P.O.V.

I lay awake, thinking of the Flock. I was thinking about going back to find them. But, unfortunately I drilled them into a habit of never staying in one spot for long. Finally I got up and went outside to sit on the balcony. I shook open my wings and rested my head against the wall of the house. Maybe tomorrow I would ask Jenny to help me find the Flock. She is the director of a federal agency after all. And I could ask her for help without giving away my secret. Oh well, for now I could stay here and rest.

I felt so empty inside. Without my Flock I don't know how to function. I even miss Nudge's incessant talking, Iggy's cooking and Fang's silence. I sighed and got up. I should sleep who knows what will happen tomorrow? I walked back into my room and lay on the bed. I soon fell asleep.

Third Person P.O.V.

He watched Maximum walk into her room. How she managed to survive the eraser attack was beyond him. Maximum was supposedly past her prime. She was to be exterminated. Soon, he would have all the glory and Maximum would be nothing but a memory. Soon, he would be the one to defeat the once invincible Maximum Ride.

So love it, hate it? By the way for any of you who read Wands and Wings or this story. I would love more reviews. I've been checking story traffic and I've been getting over a hundred hits and many story alerts. So please review. It makes me sad knowing how many people read my stories and yet having so few people review. Anyway, sorry for the whole lecture thing.
