A/N I've been forgetting the Disclaimer for the past chapters. Even though this is FANfiction, so I really doubt it is nessecary. Oh well.
DISCLAIMER: Recognize anything in this story? Then I didn't come up with it. The Flock, the School, the Voice...all James Patterson's.
CLAIMER: See anything you don't recognize? It's mine. Like the plot and 29...thats it. xD
Thanks again for the couple more reviews !!
Keep them coming, and happy reading!

FANG POV
As soon as I heard the scream and the familiar whirring sound, "Nick" vanished. Fang was back, and I was ready.
I turned to Max, but she mouthed a firm "No." I sighed. She mouthed again: "Too many innocents."
Her booming voice snapped across the room like a whip.
"U and A!" She called. Just as we all were prepared to break the bay windows in the lunchroom, I heard a cry come from my table. I turned around to see 29 looking worried. Well, as worried as she could look.
"Iggy!" she yelled. Immediately, we all scanned the room.
Where the hell was he?
MAX POV
As we were about to take of, 29 alerted us of Iggy's absence.
I hesitated.
"I can get him. Meet…" 29 looked at me with a questioning face.
The cave you all first met in.
I repeated it to 29. She nodded and took off, ignoring the cries from the stunned students. Then I almost choked.
Voice?
Time to talk later, Maximum. Get out, now.
I didn't think twice, and I nodded to my flock to take off
29 POV
I sprinted through the hallways, taking out about 5 flyboys as they came at me. After a quick scan I determined there were only about 10 left. I stopped for a second, finished the rest of them off with a few well-aimed kicks, and let my thoughts turn to Iggy.
My legs suddenly brought me to the auditorium. I opened the door, but what I saw caused me to stagger backwards. Iggy was in the auditorium.
But he was fiercely kissing an obnoxious blond girl.
My Iggy. He was the reason I had turned around. He was the only thing that kept me from returning to the comforts of my own mind.
I felt my old training start to resurface, that which I had tried to bury. But this time, I didn't fight it.
I welcomed the numbness.
Iggy POV
"Iggy?" I heard an obnoxiously high voice callout. "I left my phone somewhere in the auditorium…you have the best ears in the whole school…if I called it do you think you could find it?" I could almost see the puppy-dog face. Almost.
"Yeah, sure." I could tell who she was, but I had nothing else to do and why not help someone if you could?
"I think it's around here somewhere…" she said, as she led me down a few rows into the darkened hall. I accidently bumped into her. I had been straining my ears to here the alleged phone ring, so I had not been paying attention to my immediate whereabouts.
"Oops, sorry." I said, hurriedly backing away.
"Don't be." She breathed in my ear. Thanks to my sightless eyes, I couldn't figure out what was happening. She pressed her mouth to mine and wrapped her arms around my neck.
I didn't know what to do. I prayed for someone to come in and save me.
How wrong I was.
When I heard the door open, I pulled back, silently worshiping my savior.
But when I heard the intruder's voice, I froze.
It was 29.
But it seemed worse than that. All the training we had done for the past two years had evaporated. She was cold and aloof. Kai was mostly certainly gone, and so was 29.
Experiment 29 was back.
Maria's POV (girl Iggy's kissed)
Look, call me desperate, but I took advantage of a blind guy. He's cool, hot, and adorably oblivious. But when that freaky silent emo chick busted in, I wanted to kill her.
But when I looked closer at her face, I thought she was going to kill me.
29 POV
I cleared my throat. This was it. He needed to know who I was and what he had done. The numbness could wait.
I wasn't going to completely abandon the outside world.
Yet.
"You know, Ig, I really did wonder where you could possibly be that you might not hear Max call a U and A." I felt a bizarre sense of pleasure at the shock on his face.
"Yes, this school is infested with Flyboys." I said this slowly, as if I was talking to a child. So it wasn't really infested--I had taken them all out quite easily. But he didn't need to know that.
I turned to go, but turned back again. "The door's ten steps to your left. I'll meet you there. See, even the silent freak has some regard for loyalties." I said quietly. I felt the impact of what I had just witnessed finally hit me, and I felt tears begin to well up.
God damn it, tears? I've never cried since I was brought to the School. No way was he going to start me crying.
I felt my old training come over me, and I tightly bound my feelings. I banished them into my subconscious.
Kai was gone. 29…no. Experiment 29 had returned.
Iggy POV
I was so disoriented.
This can't be happening. No way. It just can't! I mentally screamed. My mind was in such turmoil that I forgot about the blond chick.
"Holy shit." She breathed.
"What?" I asked bitterly.
"When she saw us, it was like her face had seriously been turned to stone. Like, even stonier than before. I was sure she had died."
My fears had been correct. 29 was back.
I sprinted to the exit.
Not surprisingly, it was exactly where 29 had said it would be. When I reached the platform outside, my hearing picked up an impatient tapping of the foot.
I reached out and found 29's arm. She violently shook me off her.
"Let's go." She said icily. Though the words themselves meant nothing, her tone was one not to be mistaken.
"No." I said, replacing my hand back on her shoulder, "We need to talk." She once again shook my hand off her shoulder.
"We never need to do anything together again." She hissed. I shuddered at the coldness in her words. She repeated the directions o the cave monotonously.
I couldn't see her face, but I sensed this was no time to push it. We soundlessly snapped out their wings and took to they sky.
We flew to the cave in a cold silence.
My updates won't be three/day anymore. Probablly only one today, unless I get reviews.
Please review!
