There's no point in telling you how I found them. Or how long it took. Lets just say I was exhausted beyond belief once I had. Not that it mattered. We had to save Max. We had to leave NOW!

"No." was Iggy's instant answer to this. "You're completely drained. It won't help Max at all if you pass out of sheer exhaustion during a rescue attempt."

"You left without her?" That was what seemed to astound him most. Him and the rest of the Flock.

"Like you even tried to find her!" I snapped back. He looked at his shoes. Well, not looked really, but he bowed his head and looked ashamed.

"I…" A pause, then he murmured something about "She gave herself for us. I didn't want it all to be for nothing." He regained his composure.

"We'll go with you, if you rest the night, but we're not going to go in without some planning. We'll only get ourselves killed if we give them the opportunity. Now, get some sleep."
