Maximum Ride's Big Chase

Part 7

Max's POV:

The week went by really fast. Fang didn't mention anything about being woken up to me kissing his forehead, and I didn't say anything about it.

We got to know each other a lot better over the week, and we were really close, truthfully he was my best friend.

Iggy had stopped by to visit, and heard about me not being able to cook. So I got to taste his omelets, they were to die for, and after Fang told him about my chocolate chip cookie obsession, he made me cookies. They were delicious.

When we got to work, Fang was riding with me, we were greeted by an overly excited Felix," I have some news for the both of you."

I raised an eyebrow, he led us to his office. We walked past Iggy on the way there, he had a mischievous look on his face. He knew something.

I gave him a questioning look, and he mouthed," you'll see" to me. Now I was curious. I looked to Fang to see if he had seen me and Iggy's exchange.

I guess he had because he said," I wonder what it is?" I just shrugged my shoulders and continued to follow Felix.

When we made it to Felix's office he closed the door behind us. Turning around, he started," Dylan and Sam gave us some information on The Moth."

Me and Fang glanced at each other, he continued," They didn't tell us where his hideout is at, but we know what town he's in."

I have a feeling there's a catch to this. "And the catch?" Fang voiced my thoughts. "You and Max are going undercover to catch him."

I stood, gaping at him, "ok, let me get this straight, me and Fang, are going undercover, to catch The Moth?" Felix nodded.

"When" Fang asked, he had been silent through all of this till now. "Tomorrow, so I suggest you go home and pack." Felix added," oh, and y'all will be living together."

We walked out of his office, only to be met with a smiling Iggy," one word, and your dead" I growled out before he could say anything, he backed off.

"So I guess we should go and pack?" I suggested to Fang, we had nothing better to do. He nodded and followed me out to my car.

The ride to our apartments was quiet, and by the time we got there, it was deafening. We sat in awkward silence for a couple of seconds before getting out.

"I'll take the stairs," I muttered, but Fang caught my hand before I could walk off.

"Why not the elevator?" He questioned, he looked truly curious. I hadn't told him about my claustrophobia yet. "Uhh, I just wanna take the stairs." I stated, but it came out sounding more like a question.

"Max" Fang's voice hinted he knew I was lying," fine" I crossed my arms and glared at him, "I don't like small spaces" I gave him a half truth.

He nodded," seems like something more though, you paled when I mentioned it"

Stupid face of mine, giving things away that I don't want given away. I huffed, "I have claustrophobia" I said so quietly I hoped he didn't hear me.

"Why didn't you tell me?" Yup, he heard me, stupid good hearing of his. "I didn't think it was important" was my weak excuse. He rolled his eyes," yeah, sure"

I just turned around and marched off, towards the stairs. He followed," didn't you wanna take the elevator?" I asked him.

"Nope" I waited for him to say more but he didn't. I rolled my eyes. I'm gonna have to live with this for god knows how long.

We made it up to our floor in about 5 minutes, and went our separate ways to pack.

Hmm what do I need? I thought aimlessly while looking through my closet. I packed a couple of T-shirts and some tank tops, I since I didn't know how long we'd be there I packed some long sleeve shirts.

Now for shorts and pants. I went to my drawers and pulled out a couple pairs then shoved them in my suitcase. Socks and undergarments were next.

Where am I going to put my shoes... damn. I don't have a lot of shoes, but I need a place to put my flip flops, Nikes, and combat boots. Oh well, I grabbed another suitcase for my shoes, and anything else I wanted to pack.

But the time I was done I was starved. Heading to my kitchen I found some saved cookies from when Iggy came over. I grabbed a handful and shoved them in my mouth, tastes like my happy place.

I was brought out of my weird moment by a knock on the door, probably Fang.
I went to open it, not looking through the peephole, and was tackled to the ground.

"What the hell?" I shouted. Before I could say anything else there was a hand over my mouth, keeping me from screaming. I thrashed, accidentally kicking my door shut. Way to go me, kick my chance of escape shut.

I bit down on his hand, he quickly pulled away while almost shouting, "You bitch!" Instead of commenting back I kicked him where the sun don't shine. Hard.

He went down, but quickly recovered. I got a good look at him, he was tall, about 6'1, with light brown hair, and eyes that matched.

He had a long hideous scar over one of his eyes. And smelled like dog. (Guess who?)

He jumped at me, and knocked me down. I hit my head on the coffee table, ouch, and slowly sat up. I felt something wet trickle down my head, reaching up to touch it my hand came away red.

Dog boy got back up, so did I. Swaying a little, I knew I wouldn't be able to fight him. So I screamed, a look of shock came over his face.

"What? Didn't expect me to scream, Dog boy." I think I made him angrier, because his face turned red, and he growled. Making him sound more like a dog.

"Boss said he wanted you alive, but he didn't say in what condition." He barked out, it was then I realized he was trying to kidnap me.

Where the hell was Fang? Did he not hear me scream? Or was he caught up with someone too? Right as I thought those things I heard Fang's voice through the door.

"Max? You ok. I thought I heard screaming.." he trailed off, waiting for my reply.

"Fang! He-" I was cut off by dog boy ramming into me again. My head hit the floor with a sickening thud. I lay there, taking in everything around me.

"Max? Max, answer me! Are you alright?" Fang's panicked voice filtered through the door. I heard a bag, then the sound of wood splintering.

Dog boy, who had been holding me down, looked startled. Then he was gone, being taken down by a black blur.

I couldn't make anything out, but yelling, then a thud, and silence. That's better, all that noise was hurting my head more.

Fangs worried face came into my line of sight, he was saying something that I couldn't make out," ..stay... me..." his voice was so smooth, my eyes started closing, and I felt something hit my face.

Ignoring that, I let myself fall unconscious, where nothing hurt.
