Special Circumstances arrives within hours and find Maddy and Az, kidnapping them and setting fire to their home. Their paranoia turns out to be fortuitous after Tally accidentally sets off her pendant's tracker. Maddy and Az always thought that Special Circumstances might find them one day, and so carefully prepared a hidden cave filled with supplies in case they ever needed to run, teaching their son what to do if they're invaded. Impressed by her, they explain the secret of the Operation's lesions over a cup of tea. David eventually introduces a new Smokie recruit, Tally, to his parents. Maddy and Az live somewhat apart from the rest of the Smoke, preferring to live quiet lives.
He told them about his home and acted as a guide for many such Uglies, bringing them safely to the Smoke. Curious about the city his parents came from, David probed its borders and met more tricky Uglies wanting to explore the world. They took a few rebellious Uglies with them and established the Smoke deep in the wild. Special Circumstances soon shut down their research and ordered them to forget about the lesions, threatening to take away their licenses.Īgreeing that they couldn't forget what they learned, the couple decided to run away. They concluded that the lesions were an intentional part of the Pretty Operation. One day, the couple discovered the lesions found only in Pretties' brains and began to research them, finding out that only Pretties with jobs requiring quick-thinking were free from lesions. She soon met and fell in love with Az, a surgeon, and they eventually got married. Maddy was born in Tally's city and became a cosmetic surgeon as a middle-Pretty, eventually joining the Committee for Morphological Standards, more commonly known as the Pretty Committee.
