A/N: Hey guys. School's been out since the 26th of June and I just finished Summer Camp so I thought: Why not try to get a chapter up? Still having writer's block, but I have an idea for the next few chapters. How's your summer/ winter, depending on what hemisphere you are in, been so far? I'm going to stop with the "I'll update every 2 weeks" crap, because we all know that's not going to happen. I'll try to get a chapter up when I have time. Love you guys.

Disclaimer: I do not own the main characters in this story. Those, unfortunately, belong to the lovely James Patterson.

Max POV

I can tell you one thing: My helicopter ride was way worse than being thousands of feet underwater in a tiny submarine. You're probably thinking, but Max, you love flying. True, but I highly dislike being tied down to a freakishly hard metal chair, sitting next to the ex-boyfriend that is determined to have my little bird babies, despite the fact that I will kick the living daylights out of him if he tried, and train them to become a lethal group of mutants, out to destroy the entire human race in order to "purify" the planet.

I had no idea where they were taking me. At first I assumed the School, but from what I could tell, we weren't heading west at all. We had heading in the complete opposite direction for over two hours. I had been starting out the window for the whole trip, in attempt to avoid making conversation (or worse, eye contact) with Dylan. I could feel his eye burning holes in the back of my head.

"So the clouds are looking pretty nice, huh?" Dylan had always been the best conversation starter. I turned, stared at him aloofly, and returned to the window.

"You don't have to be like this." He continued, inching closer to me on the bench. I scooted closer to the window until I could no more, but her kept coming closer, until her was close enough that I could feel His breath on my neck.

He placed one hand on my shoulder.

"You and I both know that there's know way out of this one," he moved is hand from my shoulder and forced me to look him in the eye, "The mighty Maximum Ride. The world should see their hero now. "

He slowly began unbuttoning my shirt as he kissed my neck slowly. My hands were tied around my back, preventing me from resisting. But, unlucky for him, he forgot to tie my feet. I kneed him in the crotch and he immediately released me and fell to the ground in pain.

"The mighty pervert Dylan. The world would never want to see you again." I spat, kicking him in the head.

It was lights out for Dylan.

Fang POV

I didn't pack that much: mainly food, water, and my laptop. My blog had helped me find the Flock the last time and I was hoping it would help me find Max this time.

I left at dawn, in order to avoid waking Iggy and the girls. The last thing I wanted was to have to deal with emotional goodbyes and anything else that my make me change my mind. Except, nothing was going to change my mind. Max was my girlfriend, my soul mate, and my best friend. I would do anything and everything to save her because I know she would do the same for me.

I grabbed a map of California from the kitchen table, where I had left it the night before while attempting to pinpoint the exact location of the school. I left a note for the Flock and headed out the door.

I continued to the large, hidden field behind our New Mexico house and prepared for take off. As I jumped into the air, spread my wings, and began heading west, all I could think about was beating the shit out of Dylan.

It was lights out for Dylan.

So for some reason I remember the School being in California, but I'm probably wrong, so let's just keep it that way for now. Hope you enjoyed it.
