Maximum Ride 2

"The picture was of baby Gasman, with his telltale cowlick, being held by a women who looked kind of tired and washed out. The camera was focused on a wooden table, then a slip of paper lying on the table. It was a check. The name it was made out to was obliterated. The check was from Itex, for $10,000. His mother had sold him for $10,000 to the whitecoats at the school."(pg 147-148)

Reading the other books Max keeps finding pictures of themselves when they were younger. Where does she keep finding these pictures but not fang and herself. In the first book when they went to the institute, they found files on the flocks. Iggy tried to find his mom from the address but Ari was there. When she found more pictures in this book she must have kept the files with her maybe? Gasman must been happy to see his baby picture with his mom but she was under stress. When I read about the check for $10,000 I was surprised that Gazzy's mother sold him to the scientist at the school. That is messed up selling your own child to people you do not even know. But for $10,000 is a lot and she was stressed out so she probably had to take the offer and take a break from working. This makes me think if the flocks parents also had this kind of offer to them because they figured out that their parents gave them up to the whitecoats. If that happened to me I probably wound not take that offer and keep my child.

"Thanks, Max," Ari said when he was within earshot."You won't regret this, I promise. I'm going to keep you safe." (pg 162)

Before Ari thank Max. Ari helped the flocks escape from their cage. As the flocks flew in the sky Max sees the guards with guns running towards Ari and she knew they were going to kill him. The flocks wanted him dead because he tried to kill them like a hundred times. Even tho Max had already killed Ari once and if he died again he might be resurrected again. But Max has a feeling that Ari is started to change because he helped the flocks get out. The flocks don't trusted him but Max and Angel do. It seems like this could be a leading trap for the flocks.
