They flew over the Arkansas border, and Angel telling them of such. They had been flying hours on in, just wanting to get Nudge and get home. By then Dr. Granner would be gone and Max would almost be off the hook, because of Dr. Martinez's check ups/
"They're right there." Angel said, pointing to the same building that Max was in not even 3 weeks ago.
"Okay." Max said, soaring down to the roof of the School. She sighed as her feet touched the ground, very aware that she looked sick. She could smell dead and dying flesh, and for some reason, her stomach knotted up.
"It's okay, Max. This will be easy. You know it will." Angel said, landing beside Max. She took hold of Max's and hugged in to her chest. "I love you. You're Maximum Ride, you'll survive. We'll all survive." she said, in a sweet, angelic voice.
"I know." Max said, the paleness of her face fading. She grabbed Angel's hand and looked at the rest of the Flock. "How are you guys holding up?"
"We're good, Max." Fang said, looking at her with his deep dark eyes.
"Good, because we need to blow the place up." Max said grinning.
They went to the air duct entrance, and started through them, with Angel at the front.
Angel suddenly stopped, "Nudge's in the next open vent." she said, as she began crawling faster in the vent.
She stopped again, looking down at the room. "Oh, my God!" she said, in a whisper-yell. Her eyes were wide and her face was flushed.
"What?" Max said, her own eyes bugged.
"You'll see." She said, pulling the vent open, and then pushy it out of the way. She let her short wings out and dropped into the room.
The rest of the Flock followed, gasping as they saw Nudge.
"Oh..." Max said, softly, and went back to help her wake up.
Nudge fully opened her eyes and smiles at Max. She just stared for a moment, the hugged Max's knees. "I... Miss.... You... Mah... Ahx!" She said, smiling at how well she could talk comparing to before.
"We need to go." Iggy said, quickly grabbing Nudge, and looking back, "C'mon, we want to use the element of surprise, if we sit here, they'll have us wrapped around their finger. "
"He's right. C'mon guys." Max said, turning to Gazzy, "Bomb the door, please." she said, smiling.
"Kay." Gazzy grabbed a bomb from his pocket and pulled the pin. "Jump back!" he said, hitting the wall behind him. Everyone did the same as the bomb exploded.
At that moment, they all got up and ran through the opening. Every 50 feet or so, they'd throw another bomb.
They got to the front door and made an escape. Iggy and Gazzy both flew high and threw most of the bombs down on the School, while Angel struggled to stay in the air because Iggy had handed her Nudge.
Max flew close, "Let me have her." she said, smiling sweetly.
Angel handed her Nudge carefully. "Thanks. Her wings are unusually heavy." she said, a small frown painted across her perfect face. Max nodded, "They don't have the lightly like our. They are graphed on like the Erasers' wings. So we'll have to give her the handicap of flying slow for her."
Nudge was looking at Max with her big brown eyes. "They... hurt... when... I... move... them..." she said, softly, "But... I... learn... how... to... fly... ah... gain... right...?"
"Yes, you will, sweety. You will learn how to fly again. We'll make sure of it." Max said, speeding up a little. "C'mon guys! Let's go home!"
