Fang and I immediately had our eyes on Angel. She was sitting next to Iggy, who was cradling Gazzy in his arms. Gazzy's pale hands were clutching onto Iggy's shirt as if for dear life, and his face was buried in Iggy's chest.

"What's wrong?" I asked, rising to my feet. I rushed over to them and placed my hand on Gazzy's back. He was trembling.

"It happened again," Iggy said. "He…he wasn't screaming this time, though. I woke up when I heard him hyperventilating. Angel woke up and tried to get into his head, but she didn't have any luck."

I felt my heart plummet into my stomach. I'd been so busy kissing Fang that I hadn't noticed that Gazzy had been having a panic attack in his sleep. A quick glance at Fang revealed nothing but an unreadable, stony face and dark, guilt-stricken eyes.

"Is it over?" I asked quietly. I was replied by Gazzy's big, blue, tear-filled eyes looking up at me. I could tell that he was ashamed of having such a moment of weakness.

"It's okay, Gazzy," I told him. "Don't worry. Just…tell me what happened this time."

"It wasn't as fuzzy, but it still wasn't clear," he stammered, wiping his eyes. "I was in a lab, definitely a lab. I had that dizzy feeling, the one you get right after you wake up after getting knocked out. My wrists and ankles were strapped down to a cold table. I looked around, and I saw a girl next to me in the same position, and I think it was Angel, though I couldn't be sure."

He squeezed his eyes shut, and I could tell he was trying to pull himself together. He was eleven years old now, though he hadn't changed a bit in the past three years.

"Then I looked up," Gazzy finally continued. "A woman was standing by me. She was a white coat. I couldn't hear exactly what she was saying, but I did pick out a few things. She knew my name. After a moment, she leaned real close to me and said something. I got really scared, and I don't know why. Then, I woke up with Iggy and Angel right there."

I nodded slowly as my mind processed these things.

Both of Gazzy's visions had been in a lab. I was really hoping that he hadn't gained the ability of prescience, because if he had, this did not bode well.

Things began to flash through my mind.

Now do you see why, Max? Gazzy screaming, his wings locking in as he fell. Angel not being able to get into his head. Now do you see why Itex wants you all so badly? Gazzy having a panic attack in the middle of the night. Nothing's wrong with him. This day is programmed into his DNA.

Slowly, things were coming together, like the pieces of a puzzle. God, was I thankful that Angel's mind was focused on Gazzy. I didn't want her to tap into these thoughts.

Gazzy's vision of being in a lab and seeing someone get shot. Something bad is going to happen, Max. Gazzy's vision of being tied down to a table in a lab. I just know it will.

Oh, god. Oh, god, what if Gazzy's prescience was just the first ripple of a wave of new powers for our group? What if Itex knew that this was going to happen, and all of a sudden it wasn't wanted dead or alive? What if they wanted to use things against us and make us use these powers for them? What if they wanted more tests to replicate the powers into more mindless and loyal minions?

I thought of how Fang's dark eyes had been so startled to see me just the other day when I'd been tapping on the window of his foster home. His whispered question after I explained everything to him: Why is this happening again? Then, how we set off after Nudge, him being the one to find her while I held off the Erasers coming after her.

I remembered was Angel thought at me. Something's not right, Max.

I felt like screaming. What if we were still only at the beginning?

Then, the Voice's last words to me: That's for me to know and you to find out.
