Max POV

Let me ask you a question.

What would you do if you found out one of your best friends ever was one of the people who tried to experiment on you for half your life, and then tried to kill you for the other half?

I, as in Maximum ride, would cry till I couldn't cry anymore. The whole top of my shirt was dripping wet.

That's what everyone else did.

Then, what would you do if one of the only people you could trust was gone?

Again, cry, cry, cry. And I hated to look this way in front of the flock. They had so little confidence to start with, and now I ruined it even more.

But then Angel and me came up with a plan. We needed out of here, and quick.

Okay. When a Whitecoat comes in and opens one of our cages, open up mine if they didn't and then attack 'em. I hope my thoughts didn't sound too upset.

Okay. I saw everyone else nod when they got the thought.

Then, get everyone else out and any mutants along the way. After finding a window, we're out of here.

Wait, what about Ig- him? Angel looked up at me.

I hesitated. We'll have to leave him here.

Her and Nudge both gave one quick sob.

He was an Eraser, guys, do you want him to come with?

No reply, but I knew it was a no.

Wait, Max? Nudge asked through Angel's head.

Yeah?

I need to tell you something.

What?

Uh, Iggy-

The door opened, and none other than Iggy himself came walking in.

Iggy POV

I cleared my throat.

"I'm going to go check on the others."

The Whitecoats nodded, knowing who I was talking about. They went back to testing on a nearly dead Flyboy, if robots could die, and I hurried out the door.

The halls were familiar to me by now, or at least when I felt the way the paint was it was. It always got more chipped when it got closer to the experiment hall.. I opened the door to 'their' room, and I knew I had four glares to my face. (Remember, Aaron is there, too.)

Nudge didn't, of course. She knew why I was here.

"Hey." I murmured to where she was.

"Get outta' her, Iggy, before you get your butt kicked so hard that you'll even uglier than you are already." Max snapped.

I tried not to show any sadness. "Guys, I'm an Eraser-"

"Well no freakin' duh!" Max yelled.

"Max, please let me finish."

"Max, please." I heard Nudge cry a little.

This must have been the point where Max glared at me even harder. "You have twenty seconds."

I took in a deep breath. "I am an Eraser, but I promise I'm not one of Them. Nudge has known this whole time, since we escaped. I didn't here the Erasers coming, so I thought that if I played along with it that I could get us outta' here."

Max POV

To trust, or not to trust?

Well, Nudge did know. Angel was sending me her thoughts. But a good Eraser? The only time I ever met a good Eraser was at the end of Ari's life, but even he tried to kill me a hundred million times.

"Okay." I said. "Now get us out, now!"

He fumbled for Nudge's cage first, and then the two unlocked us all.

"Uh, Max? What about the plan, now?" Aaron asked.

"What do you mean?"

"Are we going to release the experiments?"

"No, we can't." Iggy said. "Everything but Erasers are dead now."

I gulped. They must have killed a lot of people, then.

"Anyways, let's get out of here." We hurried out the door and burst through the so called 'un-breakable glass'.

We flew until I hit my head against something.

I blacked out, and started dropping down.
