Chapter 5

Max's POV

After Nudge's rant Fang and I just pretend it never happened I guess. Nobody acted on it. And that was perfectly fine with that.

It's only been a day since the rant and well things are awkward. I have been pestered by Iggy to join the band 50 times already. Trust me I was ready to slap him.

But today was Sunday. Normally people didn't like Sundays but I loved them. Why? Simple. I got to see my little brother. Yes I have a little brother named Ari. He was sent away when he was born, so he has no involvements with me or the FBI. He was upset that mom and dad died and he never got to meet them. That's one of the reasons we were leaving…so we could be with Ari. Well that never happened. But I always visit him every other Sunday. And guess what? That's one of these Sundays!

Only problem? Nobody knows about Ari. I always keep him under my protection. Once when he was 5 he was kidnapped and held captive until I did what they told me. That didn't end well for the kidnappers. Since then Ari is always under my protection. And trust me NOBODY wants to deal with my wrath. But still I wasn't sure I wanted to tell these people. I mean I like them but I don't exactly trust them…

Yep, well I guess I'm going back to my training days. It was about 5: 15 am when I woke up. What? Old habits die hard. I got showered and dressed. I slid a note on the counter and walked outside to my bike. The note said:

Yo,

I am heading out won't be back for a while. No I am not doing anything dangerous. But if I don't return by tomorrow at sunrise well….call the police. Nothing bad should happen, I'm not expecting trouble. Just a precaution because this isn't the first time I have headed out and…ran into some trouble. Be back by nightfall.

Max

I know real specific, right? I try. I closed the door and walked towards my bike.

Fang's POV

I woke up around 5 am. Great lack of sleep. I stretched in bed and started getting dressed. Then at 5:15 am I heard someone's alarm and then it was instantly shut off. Who else would be getting up at this time?

I walked down stairs after my shower around 5:30 am. I was about to enter the kitchen but I saw Max writing something down on the counter. Ah. Of course she would be up at this time. I saw her leave the paper. I silently walked up and read it.

What. The. Heck.

Where is she going?! Why doesn't she tell us ANYTHING?! God this girl was a puzzle and I couldn't solve this one. Which, mind you is very aggravating when you are usually are good at puzzles. Well I guess I should shut up and just follow her huh?

No I am NOT a stalker.

Wait didn't I do this to her before as well? Wow I need to stop being so noisy. I was interrupted by Max shutting the door, well better leave now then huh?

I walked outside and hide in the shadows and saw Max get on her bike. I quickly tipped over to my black car. As soon as Max left I turned on my own car and followed. I watch Max speed through the streets. I wonder where this girl was going.

About 2 hours later, it was about 7 am and Max pulled into a driveway. She got off her bike and waited, leaning next to it. I soon heard a door opening and a little boy who ran up to Max. He had the same hair but blue eyes instead of brown like Max. He ran up and hugged Max's legs which Max replied with: wait for it…A HUG.

Yep this is the far most emotion I ever saw Max display. I saw Max glare at me when hugging Ari. Wait what? She saw me?! Oh wait…this girl was a FBI agent, hehe oops. Looks like I'm getting answers.

Max said something to the boy that I didn't understand. She said something like pzz da de thisundaz un interanto. Whatever the hell that means. (Podozhdite zdes'. ya dolzhen zabotit'sya o chem-to.) [Translates to wait here. I have to take care of something]

Max then walked over to me. I got out of my car and waited for her. She SLAPPED ME. And then said "Why on friggin Earth did you follow me?" in a deadly calm voice. That's probably the thing that scared me. That she sounded so calm…

Oh god was she going to murder me?

"How about you answer a few things first?" I asked, as calm as she. She then grinned, also terrifying. She then said in a sweet voice "I suggest you stay away from my one of very few happy days or I you will regret it. I will personally make sure. Now beat it, this is one of too few fun days for me to be me." Then she spun on her hell and walked back over.

Damn she's hot.

And I don't care anymore because it's the truth.

-UNICORNS ARE BETTER THEN LINE BREAKS. BUT THIS IS STILL AN AWESOME TINE BREAK. WOO HOO-

I decided to head home after my little run in with Max. After all how do you try to follow an FBI agent? Excuse me, former FBI agent. She would kill me if she knew I called her an FBI agent… though I can't blame her.

My mind kept wandering to the thought of the little boy. Who was he? How did Max know him? Well I guess I can figure that one out. I'm pretty sure he is related to Max. Somehow…

I really want answers.

God what was up with this girl?! She walks into my life, gets my mom arrested then comes back in? Then she hides everything from us?! We were practically her family! And she never told us anything. She shows less emotion than me. That's impossible. Yet she makes everything possible...

The one puzzle I couldn't solve: Maximum Ride

She made my curiosity rise, how could she have so much to hide? What was she hiding? What happened to her? How did she meet Ari? How is he so awesome?

I didn't say that last one.

Anyways I think I owe her something. Maybe even an apology. I mean my mom did murder her parents… I think I could at least say sorry, right? I'm even kind of grateful. Who knows what my mother would have done given time. She could have hurt Nudge. Yes I'm a protective big brother, get over it.

I just agreed to apologize to Maximum Ride. Yep I'm going insane. I think I should get some sleep… yep, I'm just low on sleep. That's why my thoughts are crazy and fuzzy.

I pulled into Dr. M's driveway, which is technically mine. But it didn't feel like I lived here, you know? Great I really need to catch up on sleep. So ignoring the curious stares of the flock I went into my room and fell asleep the instant I hit the mattress. And one thought was on my mind as the world began to fade:

Max.
