    And Flock Rule Number Two is, Don't argue with Max or you'll live to regret it. I spun and stomped out to the clearing, turning back for one last jab at Dylan. And by the way, you clearly DON'T know me better than Fang does. Do you see Fang arguing with me? No, you do not.
    Fang rolled his eyes.

    Ari! Jeb had finally seen his son. He rushed to Ari's side and knelt next to him. Looking stunned, he gathered Ari's hulking form and held him to his chest. I'm so sorry.

  • James Patterson Quote #19

    Commercial books don't even get covered. The reason why so many book reviews go out of business is because they cover a lot of stuff that nobody cares about. Imagine if the movie pages covered none of the big movies and all they covered were movies that you couldn't even find in the theater?

    Cuando lees un libro lo suficientemente bueno, de alguna manera has hecho las cosas sobre las que leíste.

  • James Patterson Quote #21

    Dear God, said Nudge under her breath, I want real parents. But I want them to want me too. I want
    them to love me. I already love them. Please see what you can do. Thanks very much. Love, Nudge.
    Okay, so I'm not saying we were pros at this or anything. (Max thoughts)

  • James Patterson Quote #22

    Dear Max -

    You looked so beautiful today. I'm going to remember what you looked like forever.

    ...

    And I hope you remember me the same way - clean, ha-ha. I'm glad our last time together was happy.

    But I'm leaving tonight, leaving the flock, and this time it's for good. I don't know if I'll ever see any of you again. The thing is, Max, that everyone is a little bit right. Added up all together, it makes this one big right.

    Dylan's a little bit right about how my being here might be putting the rest of you in danger. The threat might have been just about Dr. Hans, but we don't know that for sure. Angel is a little bit right about how splitting up the flock will help all of us survive. And the rest of the flock is a little bit right about how when you and I are together, we're focused on each other - we can't help it.

    The thing is, Maximum, I love you. I can't help but be focused on you when we're together. If you're in the room, I want to be next to you. If you're gone, I think about you. You're the one who I want to talk to. In a fight, I want you at my back. When we're together, the sun is shining. When we're apart, everything is in shades of gray.

    I hope you'll forgive me someday for turning our worlds into shades of gray - at least for a while.

    ...

    You're not at your best when you're focused on me. I mean, you're at your best Maxness, but not your best leaderness. I mostly need Maxness. The flock mostly needs leaderness. And Angel, if you're listening to this, it ain't you, sweetie. Not yet.

    ...

    At least for a couple more years, the flock needs a leader to survive, no matter how capable everyone thinks he or she is. The truth is that they do need a leader, and the truth is that you are the best leader. It's one of the things I love about you.

    But the more I thought about it, the more sure I got that this is the right thing to do. Maybe not for you, or for me, but for all of us together, our flock.

    Please don't try to find me. This is the hardest thing I've ever done in my life, besides wearing that suit today, and seeing you again will only make it harder. You'd ask me to come back, and I would, because I can't say no to you. But all the same problems would still be there, and I'd end up leaving again, and then we'd have to go through this all over again.

    Please make us only go through this once.

    ...

    I love you. I love your smile, your snarl, your grin, your face when you're sleeping. I love your hair streaming out behind you as we fly, with the sunlight making it shine, if it doesn't have too much mud or blood in it. I love seeing your wings spreading out, white and brown and tan and speckled, and the tiny, downy feathers right at the top of your shoulders. I love your eyes, whether they're cold or calculating or suspicious or laughing or warm, like when you look at me.

    ...

    You're the best warrior I know, the best leader. You're the most comforting mom we've ever had. You're the biggest goofball, the worst driver, and a truly lousy cook. You've kept us safe and provided for us, in good times and bad. You're my best friend, my first and only love, and the most beautiful girl I've ever seen, with wings or without.

    ...

    Tell you what, sweetie: If in twenty years we haven't expired yet, and the world is still more or less in one piece, I'll meet you at the top of that cliff where we first met the hawks and learned to fly with them. You know the one. Twenty years from today, if I'm alive, I'll be there, waiting for you. You can bet on it.

    Good-bye, my love.

    Fang

    P.S. Tell everyone I sure will miss them

  • James Patterson Quote #23

    Denial is not just a river in Egypt.

  • James Patterson Quote #24

    Do you ever miss it, not being a doctor anymore?
    I shook my head, frowned a little. I really don't. Something delicate and essential broke inside me when Isabella died. It will never be repaired, Kyle, at least I don't think so. I couldn't be a doctor now. I find it hard to believe in healing anymore.

  • James Patterson Quote #25

    Do you want to know the closest thing to feeling the most powerful you can feel ?
    Flying alone at night.Risky.Nothing but you and the wind soaring way above everything , Slicing through the air like a Sword. Up and up until you feel like you can grab a star and hold it to your chest like a burning, Spiky thing

  • James Patterson Quote #26

    Every other person in the world would have looked at it and thought, Max would hate this. It was girly. It was beautiful. It wasn't made of titanium and black leather with spikes on it. But it seemed exactly right, in a weird, heart-fluttery kind of way. And I really loved it.

  • James Patterson Quote #27

    Everybody in! I said.
    Which was when we discovered the final problem.
    Little Echos aren't designed to hold six, count them six, larger-than-average-sized children.
    And their wings.
    And a dog.
    This is like a clown car, Total grumbled front my lap in the front seat.
    Why does the dog get to sit in your lap?'' Gazzy asked plaintively, as we rattled and banged down the dark streets. How about a kid?
    Oh. 'The dog.' Very nice, said Total.
    Because you're not allowed to have people on your lap in the front seats, I explained. It's not safe. If a cop saw us, we'd be stopped for sure. You want Total back there?
    Everyone in the back screamed no at the same time.

  • James Patterson Quote #28

    Except fang. I glared at him. Go on, try to stop me, I dare you. It was like the old days when we used to wrestle, each trying to get the better of the other. I was ready to take him down, my hands curled into fist. I was just going to say be careful, Fang told me. He stepped closer and brushed some hair out of my eyes. And I've got your back. He motioned with his head toward the torpedo chamber. Oh my God. It hit me like a tsunami then, how perfect he was for me, how no one else would ever, could ever, be so perfect for me, how he was everything I could possibly hope for, as a friend, boyfriend, maybe even more. He was it for me. There would be no more looking. I really, really loved him, with a whole new kind of love I'd never felt before, something that made every other kind of love I'd ever felt feel washed out and wimpy in comparison. I loved him with every cell in my body, every thought in my head, every feather in my wings, every breathe in my lungs. and air sacs. Too bad I was going out to face almost certain death. Right there in front of everyone, I threw my arms around his neck and smashed my mouth against his. He was startled for a second, then his strong arms wrapped around me so tightly I could hardly breathe. ZOMG, I heard Nudge whisper, but still fang and I kissed slanting our heads this way and that to get closer. I could have stood there and kissed him happily for the next millennium, but Angel, or what was left of her was still out there in the could dark ocean. Reluctantly, I ended the kiss, took a step back. Fang's obsidian eyes were glittering brightly and his stoic face had a look of wonder on it.Gotta go, I said quietly. A half smile quirked his mouth. Yeah. Hurry back. I nodded and he stepped out of the air lock chamber, keeping his eyes fixed on me, memorizing me as he hit the switch that sealed the chamber. The doors hissed shut with a kind of finality, and I realized that my heart was beating so hard it felt like it was going to start snapping ribs. I was scared. I was crazily, deeply, incredibly, joyously, terrifyingly in love. I was on a death mission. Before my head simply exploded from so much emotion, I hit the large button that pressurized the air lock enough for the doors to open to the ocean outside. I really, really hoped that I would prove somewhat uncrushable, like Angel did. The door cracked open below me and I saw the first dark glint of frigid water.

  • James Patterson Quote #29

    Fang swerved closer to me, big and supremely graceful, like a black panther with wings.

    Oh, God. I'm so stupid. Forget I just said that.

    He needs a Band-Aid, I said. A look passed between me and Fang, full of suppressed humor, relief, understanding,love — Forget I said that too. I don't know what's wrong with me.

  • James Patterson Quote #30

    fuzzy black lines hiccuped across the screen.
