A/N: Yay. Time for my second installment in the all-too unique MaxLock crossover. I apologize for the somewhat short chapter, it is just very much packed with information. Anyway, I got told that I didn't really explain why the American government wanted him, and I did that on purpose. It is very important that they never tell him why. I didn't think I would have to point that out. Anyway, enjoy. And, as always, be honest with your critique.

"Mister Sherlock Holmes, you must understand that the moment we begin telling you this, you are permanently endowed to get to the bottom of these matters."

"Okay, okay, get on with it." Sherlock was not the kind of man to take authority seriously, no matter how much power it claimed to possess.

"Recently, It has come to our attention that a genetic experiment, publicly referred to as 'The Angel' has escaped from her holdings. We-" The voice was cut short by Sherlock.

"Genetic experiment? What kind?" His annoyance was replaced with curiosity as the subject of science came to his attention.

"She had a certain... Trait... Grafted into her DNA while she was still in the womb." The monotonous voice lost its regularity as the topic became more and more delicate.

"What trait?" Sherlock wanted all the details.

"Wings. She has wings. The operation was not expected to end up successful, but her body accepted the wings and she gained control of them even still inside the womb. Sadly, this resulted in the rater graphic death of her mother, as the wings became to big for her womb, and her abdomen literally exploded. Now, Mister Holmes, if you wouldn't mind-"

"Interesting. This is a rather unique case." Sherlock did his best to ignore John's triumphant sideways glance by turning his back completely to the blogger.

"Yes. Well, she escaped her holdings and left no trace behind. We normally would not contact anyone outside the country about these sort of things, but then what happened next was what blew things out of proportion." The voice broke its monotony when it coughed, cleared its voice, then continued. "There have been mysterious events at schools. The days start normally, and then around 10 or 11 in the morning, all the students begin to pass out. Some go brain dead, others insane, and even a few of them have died. We have no leads, nothing is left behind, and even thought that sounds like enough on its own, there is more."

"Go on." Sherlock's mind was racing. Nothing like this had happened in such a long time. All the possibilities, he was mentally raising the rating to a solid seven.

"After the things go into effect, The Angel shows up. She scours the campus, and then leaves. This has happened thrice so far. No one has been able to get anything out of it, except for the fact that The Angel is somehow connected to this."

"And what do you want me to do about it?" By now, he had factored out about seventy possible theories.

"Solve it. Figure out her connection, how it is being done, and who is doing it. Hopefully, we would like if you could bring it to a stop."

He paused, thinking. This case would take some serious dedication. Lots of running, and perhaps some life-threatening situations. Just his cup of tea. "Is there any particular pattern to these attacks?"

"No. One happened on the east coast, in Florida, and just a few days later, one happened in Texas, on the southern cost."

"Do not treat me like a child, I know where the geographical United States are. You bore me. But I do accept this case, I expect you to have tickets for me to leave by tomorrow, and not a minute later." He slammed the phone down and turned to John, who was grinning triumphantly.

"You were right this time, John," The detective admitted reluctantly.

"Perfect. Now fill me in, and do not BORE me," He said this with a smug smile which was missed by the detective.

"Well, it revolves around this mysterious girl called 'The Angel'..."

A/N: awesome. Now that that is over, I have a request. I made a post on my tumblr, .com about this, and to get a rough idea of how may people are reading this, please just like the post on the updated chapter. Also, about the timeframe in the "Maximum Ride" timeline, I think it is before Max and her flock, before the School was established, but it is somewhat foreshadowed in this fic. As always, critique and such, whatever. Cheers!
