Iggy backed behind the door as Jeb came out mumbling. He had been on the phone. Iggy had overheard his entire conversation. Iggy quickly snuck inside and grabbed whatever papers and files were on Jeb's desk. He then pulled open the bottom drawer of the desk and closed it again. He pulled the middle drawer open, tilting his head as he listened to the squeak the drawer made. Yes, that is the one. He reached in and pulled out a folder and left.
"Ig, I am so hungry." Nudge complained. They had been in the air for about 4 hours. Iggy knew that the flock had to be getting tired. He was. And hungry. They needed energy to fly like this, pushing themselves both speed and distance wise.
"There is a clearing behind an old barn Ig. Three o'clock" Angel said, reading his mind and knowing he was thinking of where to land.
"Okay guys, you heard the lady. We're going down." Ig said to the flock and they all turned and landed.
After eating, everyone was asking questions and getting antsy.
"Come on Ig, we been flying for hours now. Do you even know where FAng is?" Gazzy piped up.
"Sure do. Nudge, did you say we were just outside of Arizona now?" ig said.
"Um, yeah. About 20 miles or so. Why? Oh, is that where he is? Are we really gonna find him? " Nudge chanted.
"Yeah, that is where he is. He has been helping out a local kids shelter there for runaways."
"How do you know tht Ig?" Gazzy asked, tossing his last candy bar wrapper in the fire.
"Because I overheard Jeb telling someone on the phone that that is where they could bind him. " Ig replied biting his Crunch bar.
"Oh Jeb is going to get Fang for Max? He must really care after all." Nudge said.
"Not exactly" Angel said while looking at Iggy. Iggy gave her a blank stare back, a way of warning her to stop reading his mind. What, you can't read minds? Well, Angel can.
"What does that mean Angel?" Gazzy spoke this time.
"It means that Max was right. Jeb is against us. And It means we need to find FAng before Jeb does. I overheard him telling whoever was on the phone to go get FAng. He said he would get Max and meet them at the lab in Port Angeles. " The others just gasped and stared at Iggy. They all had wanted to trust Jeb actually atarted to at some level. All of them except for Fang and Max.
"Oh no. We left Max back there with him. What if he already had her? What if they already caught FAng? What if-" Nudge started before Iggy could cut her off.
"Look, we could sit here all night wondering what if or we can go get Fang and save Max. Gazzy, douse the fire. Nudge, pack up." Iggy said as he stood up. "Angel, try to call out to Fang with your mind thing. ?See if he is in reach."
After they had the fire out and were all packed, Angel came running up to the others.
"I got him! He is in Arizona. He's okay. He said sit tight and he'll be here in a little while."Angel was shouting.
"Good job Angel. Thanks. Guess now we just wait on Fang."
