Iggy's POV

"So what did you do?" Angel asked me after I had finished my story about the Erasers.

"Uh, well, I invited her over to the hotel. I thought you might all like to meet her," I told the flock.

"You told her where we were hiding out. What if an Eraser forces it out of her now? You've only put her in danger," Max responded but at the same time, she sounded like she would enjoy company.

I was quiet as I listened to the flapping of five wings, including my own. Five pairs of wings, where was the sixth?

"Uh, Max. Is everyone with us?" I asked, trying to listen closely to the sixth pair of wings that was not there.

Max didn't reply.

"Max?"

"What? Iggy? Did you say something?" I heard Max answer me.

Her mind was on other things.

"Is everyone here?" I asked again.

"Where's Nudge?" Fang questioned. I guessed he was searching the air for her. "She was just behind us."

"I'll look for her. No offense but I am a lot faster at flying than all of you. I need you to get back to the hotel to make sure the Erasers haven't found our location yet. I'll meet you there soon. Fang, you're in charge while I'm gone," Max ordered and then I listened to her wings flapping and quickly the sound dispersed.

"Let's get back to the hotel," Fang said quietly.

"Ig! Are you freezing? Heat rises but I bet that water was pretty cold,"

the Gasman responded.

"Haha, very funny, I'm hysterical," I replied sarcastically. "Hey, at least the bomb stopped. If it didn't you would have been in a lot of trouble!" I reasoned with him.

"You would too."

"Whatever. Just fly."

By the time we got back to the hotel, I had decided I would take a nice, hot shower before Summer came to meet the flock.

As I opened the restroom door, the stream from the shower followed me out. I had expected someone to have come knocking on the door by now, hollering at me to get finished but they had let me have all the time to myself.

"Hello? Gazzy? Is Max back? Is anyone there?" I called but no one answered.

Was this a joke? What had happened to everyone?

"Hello? Guys, this isn't funny!" I yelled.

I listened to what sounded like footsteps but I couldn't tell if I was just being paranoid until someone grabbed me from behind.
