Hey guys, I know you're probably mad at me for not updating sooner, but sadly my interest/obsession with Maximum Ride has gone down, quite a bit.

To make it up to you, I am going to re-read the entire series again, so that I'll get into it again.

And I hardly get to time to write so yeah….

CONGRADULATIONS: Wall-E My hundredth reviewer!

Please don't hate me if I decide to put this story on Hiatus.

Chapter 7: Stalking..

Third Person POV (This is my first time writing in third person POV so please bear with me. It's kinda gonna be like everyone's point of view at the same time, but it's not confusing, you'll understand it.)

The Flock stared after Max as she walked away with conflicted emotions.

"What the Hell was that all about?" Iggy asked. Fang decided not to give him crap about his language. For once, harsh words were exactly right to describe the situation.

"I think she's starting to remember…" Angel said, she was concentrating hard on Max's mind. "Ugh, I can't get into Max's mind," She said with a pout.

"Don't worry Angel, we'll figure all this out." Nudge said reassuringly. Every since Max left, she took it on herself to make sure that Angel and Gazzy were happy. Sometimes she didn't mind and at other she wished Max were there to take care of her.

"Who knew Max could actually sing?" Iggy asked. They all shrugged. Last time they check, Max couldn't sing to save her life.

"Or play guitar?" Angel added. Again, there answer was a shrug. None of them knew Max had any musical talents; it was a shock to them all.

"So are getting breakfast or not?" Gazzy asked. "I'm still hungry!"

"I'm sure she'll be back soon enough." Iggy told him. They all sat their waiting for Max. Strumming their fingers on the table, playing random games of eye spy. Total was grooming himself under the table. Technically he wasn't allowed inside but he persuaded the Flock to take him with them.

Max walked out of the staff room nervously. She played with a strand of her hair, debating on whether or not to send J.J instead. 'Don't be stupid Max, you can handle this!' She kept telling herself. She took a deep breath, and forced a smile onto her face.

"Hi again, I'm very sorry about before." She said politely.

"It's fine, happy birthday by the way," Iggy responded. He took the words right out of Fang's mouth. Fang glared at Iggy angrily, Iggy just ignored him.

"Are you ready to order?" Max asked them.

"Yeah sure I would like-"Nudge started again. She was interrupted by Max's gasp. Her eyes were as wide as Frisbees and her mouth dropped open, the flock couldn't tell if she was frightened or shocked. They all looked at her worriedly.

"Is that...is that a dog?" She asked us. We all started at her for a moment and bursted out laughing. Max blushed.

"What's so funny?" She asked them curiously.

"You really had us going there for a minute, we thought you were scared of something," (I really need to re-phrase this dialogue but I can't think of how). Iggy said with a smile. Max blushed again and smiled back.

'Why doesn't she smile at me like that?' Fang wondered.

"Can I pet him?" Max asked curiously. Her face showed genuine delight. Total, walked out from under the table and walked to Max's feet.

"Yeah sure. Don't worry he won't bite, we trained him really well. He's Scottish canine and he's very friendly. His name is Total, don't ask. We found him in a park with a collar that said Total, but we couldn't find his family so he stayed with us..humph…" Gazzy put his hand over Nudges mouth and they both threw Fang a sorry look.

"Sorry about our sister, she likes to talk a lot." Gazzy said sheepishly. Total jumped into Max's hands, and she caught him.

"Wow he really is friendly," She laughed as Total started liking her face. Fang and Iggy listened to her laugh, mesmerized by how care free and light it was. Max was ecstatic; she had always wanted a dog of her own. She kept petting him and laughing as he tried to lick her. It took her a while to realize that she had an audience. She set Total down.

"I'm sorry; now what would you like to order?"

Fang's Pov.

We peeked out from the dumpster we were hiding behind. This is a terrible idea! I can't believe I let the Flock talk me into this. We are going to spy on Max. I don't know about you but doesn't this seem a little …CHILDISH to you? Max has super senses just like the rest of us, there is no way we can follow her without getting caught. Last thing I need for her to think of us as stalkers. I mean, everyone knows that Max really is scared of me. She kept cringing away from me when I talked or said anything. You think it would be funny, but it made me feel like a monster.

"Is she leaving yet?" Gazzy asked

"No," I told him

"Now?"

"no"

"Now?"

"No,"

"How about now?"

"Maybe,"

"What?"

"Gazzy….SHUT UP!" I whisper- shouted at him. Nudge smirked a little.

"There she is!" Angel pointed to Max. We watched Max walk out of the Café, her hair flew behind her like a mane. In a good way of course. I fought the urge to grab her face in my palms and stroke her hair, and kiss her softly on the lips.

"Nudge, Gazzy you guys follow Max from the air, Iggy, Angel, Total and I will follow her," I instructed them. Nudge and Gazzy took off without saying another word. I grabbed Angel's hand and we walked out into the street together. Iggy started following slightly behind us. Every now and then Angel and I would duck into a store and watch Max. Iggy followed her from the other end of the street. He was good, I always lost track of him. Max spun around, and started behind her. She looked all tense. Angel yanked my hand; I bent down to pretend I was tying her shoe. Max's walking picked up speed.

"Fang, she senses us!" Angel said panicked.

"I know," I told her. I scanned the crowds for Iggy; he was walking with a news paper in front of his face. I face palmed myself! Why the hell would a blind kid have newspaper? Oh….right, he's not blind anymore. I wonder if I'll ever get used to the idea. I saw Total, trot behind Iggy. Out of the corner of my eyes I saw Max make a turn.

"Come one we have to keep moving!" I urged Angel. I eyed Iggy, he understood. But that idiot still had a newspaper in front of him and ended up crashing into a poll, head first. Yeah, ha-ha very funny, moving on. Angel giggled next to me.

I rounded the corner and almost jumped back. Max was standing right there, she must have been waiting for us. Luckily she was distracted by an old lady who had spilled some of her groceries. Max bent down to help her pick it up, she had a friendly smile on her face. Weird, normally we wouldn't notice these kinds of the things. Angel dragged me into another store before she noticed us.
"That was close," A voice said behind me. I nearly jumped, but men don't get frightened by voices. It took me a few seconds to realize it was Iggy's.

"Where did- never mind." I stopped, there's no point in trying to figure out Ig's ways.

"Come on Fang, we're gonna lose her!" Angel yelled at me, she dragged Iggy and me out of the store and Total followed us behind. We reached the end of the street in a matter of seconds, but it was too late. We lost her.

"Damn it," Iggy yelled and kicked a fire hydrant. I felt my fist curled and I sucked in a sharp breath. I was so tempted to punch a wall or something right now.

"Angel, do Gazzy and Nudge see her?" Iggy asked.

"No they lost her too," Angel said, I watched her shoulder slump and a pout appear on her face.

"Don't worry, we'll find her, ask Gazzy and Nudge to come back down," I told her.

"Can we go back for another latte? I am absolutely famished!" Total whined.

"How could you be thinking about food…TOTAL YOU'RE A GENIOUS!" Iggy shouted. Angel and I gave him the WTH look; well hers was more "huh," look. Iggy sighed and rolled his eyes.

"We should go back to the café and have Angel read some of the staffs thoughts, one of them should know where Max is going!" Iggy finished and shone proudly at Angel and I.

"Wow, that might actually work," Angel said in shock. Are you in Shock? Cause I sure as hell am.

"Iggy…why didn't you tell me you had a brain?"I asked with a straight face.

"Why didn't tell me you were gay?" Iggy replied. I frowned at him; he was never going to let that go was he?

"Well if you two are done flirting, let's keep moving," Nudge said popping out from the alley behind us. I sighed, but I lead them forward towards the café.

We all rushed in, it was then I realized our mistake. One of the waitresses here seemed to be friends with Max, she kept eyeing us all afternoon.

"You!" She accused pointedly!

"What are you doing here? We're closed, I swear I will call the police if you try anything!" She yelled at us, her voice wavered.

"We just want to ask you a question," Angel said sweetly. When will I ever get used to the sweet Angel again? Don't answer that. The waitress seemed baffled by Angel's sweet behavior. But she quickly regained herself and put her hands around her hips.

"That depends!" She stated

"On?" Gazzy asked.

"The q- what do you need to know?" She said in a daze, I look over to see Angel holding steady contact with her.

"Fang! Ask her!" Angel said through her teeth. I nodded at Angel, and gave the waitress a murderous glare.

"Tell us what you know about Max," I said in a solemn tone.

"She started working here 4 months ago after she was discharged from a local hospital. She was in a terrible car crash; she has permanent amnesia-"the waitress recited as if she were working from a list. "And doesn't remember a thing about her past. Max lives with her sister Bridget, "The waitress stopped talking. I raised my eyebrows at her. Bridget? What was she doing here?

"A car crash? Amnesia?" Gazzy asked.

"Must be her cover story," Nudge answered. Wow, short reply….

"What else can you tell us," I asked the waitress in the same tone as before. I heard Angel grunt in resentment, she must be working hard to keep control of her.

The waitress seemed dazed for a second as if she was thinking.

"She- she has a date tonight….with Sam."

I heard everyone gasp. I felt my fists curl; I could see Iggy had mirrored the same expression I had on my face.

"Where?" I hissed through my clamped teeth.

"Central Park," She answered. I was done with her; I sound around and marched out of the café brooding on the inside. I heard Angel telling the waitress to forget we were ever there.

Soon enough they all trailed out after me. Iggy started chuckling; I turned to glare at him.

"What the he-ck are you laughing about?" I spat at him. He grinned at me evilly.

"I think we have a date to crash," Iggy said in a sinister voice. I raised an eyebrow at him, and then grinned myself.

I felt better already.

Sorry its soo suckish, I rushed to finish it so I could have it up for you guys to read!

This chapter should have been another 1,000 words longer, but I just cut it all off so I could post this up.

I understand if you don't want to review, Cuz that was a horrible chapter.

P.S It was unedited, so sorry for mistakes too!
