"Max, can we go pick strawberries?" said Angel. I sighed, "Sure, Sweetie."
We all finished our breakfast and went outside to pick strawberries. Ten minutes went by when Iggy said," I hear a chopper."
I listened harder, and found it. I stole a glance and Fang and his facial expression said he heard it too.
"Alright, guys," I said, "Something's coming—get ready."
The chopper finally landed and out stepped a large team of Erasers followed by a teenager girl, probably a little older than me. As the Flock braced themselves for battle, I saw someone I think I recognized. But no, it couldn't be. Could it? It was. Ari, he was here. When he saw me stare at him, he grinned. It wasn't a 'happy-to-see-you' grin either, it was a 'ready-to-die?' grin. It sent shivers down my spine. Wait. No. no, no, no, no, no. I am Maximum Ride. I can take him. I wasn't going to let him get the satisfaction of my fear. I immediately made my face as hard as stone. Fang noticed my change" It is him isn't it?"
I nodded. The girl—the leader—finally spoke. With a snap of her fingers she said," Tag 'em and bag 'em."
That's when the Erasers jumped into action they triple teamed all of us. The last thing I remember is struggling, being put on the helicopter, and knocked out.
