AN: I do not own Maximum Ride. The wonderful, one and only James Patterson does! But I sure will try! :D
Turns out "you know what I mean" meant that I would be standing behind a sound-proof barrier in the break room while watching Nudge getting tortured by Jeb and Charles in their office. The door was locked and I had already tried shooting a hole in it, which didn't turn out very well. I won't go into details. I watched helplessly as Jeb grabbed Nudge's wing and yanked, tearing some feathers out. Nudge's mouth opened and her face scrunched up in pain as she screamed. It was Charles turn. He grinned wickedly, looked to see if I was watching, and bent over Nudge, kissing her neck hard. I felt my heart lurch to my throat and turned away. I couldn't watch.
I clenched my fists and looked around the room. I had to force my way out of here. I wasn't going to stand there and let Charles rape her again. I finally spotted an area of wall that was crumbling, littering pieces of white plaster on the floor. I walked over to it and kicked it. The wall crumbled and sent up a cloud of white dust, almost obscuring me from view. I smiled as an idea formed in my head, and I kicked at it again, sending up another cloud of white dust. I dove to the floor and curled up into a ball, praying that my plan would work. I waited for several heartbeats and was about to get up to kick the wall again when the lock clicked. Footsteps stepped into the room, and Jeb's confused voice rang out.
"What the heck?"
Score. I tensed and sprang up, lunging for his throat. He gave a startled cry and tried to punch me, but I had the element of surprise. I overpowered him quickly and dragged him out the door with me, intending to use him as a hostage so that Charles would let Nudge go. Charles was now playing with Nudge's entrance while she moaned and held back tears. She didn't have much time left. Why did Jeb have to be so freaking heavy?
"Charles!" I yelled, pulling my gun out of my pocket and training it at Jeb's head. "I'll kill him if you don't stop!"
Charles head snapped in my direction and his eyes narrowed when he caught sight of me.
"Oh, really? You were always a coward. You wouldn't..."
A shot rang out and Charles' eyes widened. A puddle of blood blossomed on his chest and he fell to the floor, his body limp and lifeless. A girl was standing at the door of the office, holding a gun in her hand. She was tall and wiry, with dirty blond hair and warm brown eyes. Nudge slowly raised herself up from the table and her eyes crinkled when she saw the girl while I starred on, not knowing how to react to this change of events.
"MAX!" Nudge cried happily.
