Maximum Ride Page #4

Please. It wasn't my fault.

He started it. Please!

A little help here, please?

What are you doing?

Stop! Please!

It's all going to be just fine.

When I get out of here,

you're going to be sorry!

You need to calm down.

Hurry.

Get off of me.

- Hold her down.

- I'm trying.

Calm down.

- No!

- Hurry!

Everything's

going to be just fine.

Keep her immobile.

Now take deep breaths.

You need to calm her down.

Keep breathing.

Her heart rate is increasing.

Calm down.

We need a sedative.

Got it.

No! Get off of me!

Calm down.

That's it, deep breaths.

Everything will be just fine.

Okay.

I just wanna be normal.

Um, I don't really know

what would have happened

if you weren't there.

At least stay for breakfast.

My mom really wants to meet you.

Okay.

Okay, this one's, like, a little

well-done, but here you go.

Okay, I don't get it.

Where do you put it all?

I have a really fast metabolism.

Hey, girls. Laundry done.

Thank you, mom.

Yep.

I washed your clothes.

The shirt was a loss, but you

and Ella are the same size.

Um, after breakfast, why don't

you go up and take a shower?

I'll meet you in the clinic

when you're done.

I need to have

another look at you.

They are stopping in lake mead,

we'll be right behind them.

There's a cabin

just north of there.

Pick up the pace so that we can

catch them before they leave.

It's a solid plan.

I don't see any

other alternative,

unless you got some bright idea.

She's gone.

What?

Seriously, nudge?

Come on.

But I just...

Never, never do that again.

I was just looking.

We didn't know where you were.

You're right.

You do heal fast.

What do you mean?

As far as I can tell, your shoulder

is nearly fully recovered.

Did you know that was there?

No, what is it?

I would say it looks like

a tracking chip.

Like the kind

people put inside their pets.

Can you get it out?

It must have been put in

when you were very little.

Your muscles, nerves,

even your blood vessels, have

grown completely around it.

If I tried, I'm afraid you'd

lose use of your hand.

Then there's this.

You see this long, curved line?

It looks like bone.

Secondary skeletal system

underneath your muscle tissue.

Which just

doesn't make any sense.

The scar on your back.

That was recent.

Very recent.

Layered over and over again

in the exact same place.

Look, I don't know what

kind of trouble you're in.

I'm not sure

if I even want to know.

But you're a brave girl,

and we owe you.

And we'll always

be here for you.

No questions asked.

Thank you.

Uh...

I don't feel very good. Do you

mind if I just go and rest?

Of course.

We can talk later.

This isn't gonna work.

You can hurry up.
