We took off silently and had a silent flight. Well, almost. Nudge kept mumbling about something involving cows.
Max, good. You escaped.
"Ah!" I screamed and dropped a couple feat. "My... head..."
Something felt like it exploded in my head. It was horrible. No, worse than horrible... no words to describe how painful.
"Max! Are you okay?" Gazzy and Fang swooped down next to me, trying to keep me aloft.
"Uh, no I am. I think." I said as I recovered. "Something... in my head... a voice?"
Listen to Eli, it's the better thing to do.
"Who are you?!" I screamed out loud.
No need to yell, Max. I can hear your thoughts.
Thoughts? Okay. Let me ask you again; WHO ARE YOU?!
I'm just... someone. That doesn't matter right now. Let's just say that I'm your conscience, okay?
"No, you are not!" I said. Fang turned to me with a concerned look on his face.
"Max?" He asked.
"There's someone- er, something in my head." I said, rubbing my temples.
"Uh, ignore it. It might be just a trick. From the School."
"Where else?" I said sarcastically.
Don't ignore me, please Max. I'm not a Whitecoat.
GET OUT OF MY HEAD!

Once we found a road, we followed it to the first sign of civilization. A gas stop. Soon, other houses and stores started popping up here and there. Finally, it was an actual city.
"Max, there!" Angel called. There was a library coming up on our right. Pht. I sound like a GPS.
"Nice!" I smiled. "Guys, land in the back so no one human sees us."
They did what I said. They followed me to the back alley, and we came up to the door.
"Act normal." I whispered. We swung the door open and walked inside. There was about ten computers lining up on one side.
"What are we going to do?" Iggy asked.
"Everyone, get on a computer. Search the name Jason Seairta. Well, except you Iggy."
"Fine. Pick on the blind guy." He mumbled, and we sat down at the computer
SEARCH: Jason Seairta
LOADING...
"Max, look." Gazzy said next to me. I looked over and stared at the screen.
Jason S.
Detective
To contact:
Email: (INSERT EMAIL HERE)
Phone Number: (INSERT NUMBER HERE)
"Does this help?"
"Yeah, Gazzy. Wow, this is helpful."
"You guys? We can't email him if we don't have an email account. Make on so you can contact him. Go to Gmail dot com." Fang said.
"Jeez, Fang. Since when did you know so much about computers?"
He shrugged. "Hacked on a couple times at the School."
I went to yahoo and made an account.
"Okay, what should we say to him?" I asked.
"Um, Dear Jason, Eli has told us to contact you. He says you're going to help us, and-"
"Wait, Fang! You're going too fast!" I said. All I got down was Dear Jason.
Ugh. Scoot over." Fang started typing down something really quickly.
Hey.
This is Fang, one of the bird kids. This kid (well, Eraser) Eli told us to contact you for something. He said you'd help us for something.
Yeah. Okay.
Bye,
Fang
He hit send and we waited. In less than fifteen minutes, we got a reply.
Wait, Fang? Okay, come to (INSERT ADDRESS HERE). But it's not that helpful. It's kinda' a mission. I'll tell you more when you get here.
"Should we trust him? I mean, it could be a trap." Nudge said.
"Yeah, okay. Everyone, be on full alert. Don't go inside. Be careful. Let's go."
