Max's POV

Currently, Angel and I are following Fang and Iggy to the pits of hell, keeping a fair distance behind them so that they can't see us. We watch as they pull up to the large complex and talk to each other briefly before they climb over the fence and make their way to the building. Only when we see that they're inside do we dare to get out of the car. No words are spoken between us. Our plans were made and now is the time to follow through with them. We climb the fence and make our way into the building just as Fang and Iggy did. As soon as we're inside, Angel leads me at a brisk pace to where she assumes Jeb will be. The testing labs. I try not to think about what that could mean.

All too soon it seems, Angel stops at a doorway and gives me a look that says it's either now or never. I suck in a small breath of air before opening the door and making my way into the room. Just as Angel said, Jeb is standing in front of a table in his white coat and writing on a clip board. I make sure to not look too closely at whatever it is he's writing about. He looks up when he hears me walk in. The look in his eyes is one of absolute terror. Good. But he quickly covers that up and attempts a pleasant tone when he says, "It's nice to see you again Maximum."

"I can't really say the same." I respond bluntly.

He ignores my comment and continues, "So what brings you back? I know that Angel isn't here anymore. Such a pity. Her loyalty to you is too great. Nothing that can't be corrected if only she'd stayed."

I practically snort at his words. "Loyalty? Angel is anything but loyal. And even so, changing people is wrong."

"Are you so sure?" Jeb asks then chuckles. "You have so much to learn Maximum. So once again I ask, why are you here?"

Well here it goes. I put on my best steely glare and say, "I came to kill you."

Jeb nods. "So the orders finally came. I expected as much."

I pull my sword out of its sheath and take a slow step toward him, letting no expression cross my face. "And you're just going to let me do it?" I ask.

"I've taken the proper precautionary measures in case something like this were to happen. My work will be continued. I don't worry about that." he answers.

I take another step forward. "You're really sick. You know that?"

"Of course you'd think that. Your eyes haven't been opened to the world yet. You don't see the necessity to what I do when in reality you live and breathe a reason."

"What are you talking about?" I ask as I take another step.

"You. You assassinate people for a living. You don't want to do that. Do you? You've hardened yourself so that you can ignore the fact that what you do is wrong. In the new world, there will be perfect beings. Not weak humans that are subjected to emotions."

"You're crazy." I say and shake my head.

"Crazy? Or a realist? You know I'm right. You just don't want to admit you're wrong. That the world is wrong. And that it needs to be fixed. We can fix it and you. Let us make you the first to undergo the transformation into perfection." he keeps going.

"No." I say and take another step forward.

"Let us Maximum. It's for the best. For your best. Don't you-". his words are stopped mid-sentence by my blade. I can't do this right now. Too many conflicting emotions are going through me. Pain. Regret. Burning anger. Sadness. Jeb's eyes are still looking at me. Both of us aware of what I've just done. "No. I don't want anything to do with you," I say to him as he dies.

"Max.." I hear a voice breathe out from behind me. I pull my sword out of Jeb then turn around quickly to see Fang standing at the doorway to the lab. I try to put a lock on my emotions, but obviously my best isn't good enough because I can tell Fang sees right through me.

"Let's go." he says and walks out of the door.

I walk silently behind him for a second before I ask, "Where's Iggy?"

"He went ahead with Angel," he answers.

We fall into silence again as we make our way back to his car. Iggy and Angel having already left it's just the two of us. In the car, Fang makes a call on his phone. "It's done," he says then hangs up after listening for an answer. He must've called the Agency.

He then turns and looks at me, searching my face for something. I'm not sure what though. Remorse maybe? Guilt?

"How are you feeling?" he asks quietly.

I shrug my shoulders in response.

He nods his head as if he understands the meaning of the world then asks me, "Do you want to go somewhere?"

"Where?" I ask back.

He shrugs his shoulders in response, copying me.

My mouth twitches a little before I nod my head yes. Riding off with Fang to who knows where seems like a better option than going back to the others and facing what I did.

As we drive away, I hear a series of explosions from behind us. I turn to Fang and give him a questioning look.

He just says, "Iggy."

Good 'ol Iggy.

AN: I don't think I even know what I'm doing anymore. Just review for the sake of my sanity please. Also, I saw the midnight premiere of Harry Potter, it was amazing anyone else seen it yet? If so, what'd you think? Personally, my favorite part is when Mrs. Weasly is fighting Bellatrix at the end and..well if you've read the book or seen the movie then you'll know what I'm talking about. It's really funny haha

PS: Also I'd really like some more people to check out my other story, A Dark Knight. It's actually pretty good. Better than this one even. But that's just my opinion.
