It was a long, hard flight. My muscles still ache. We were made (shudder) to endure extreme muscle duration. But not like this. Fang is heavy. I think he blacked out halfway back to the park. If anyone saw us way up there, I wonder what they would have though. I was going to kill fang.

"We could have taken those guys back there!" Gazzy yelled once we had landed in our beloved, deserted building. We pulled Fang onto one of the old sleeping bags and let him keep dreaming.

"Gazzy, if you even think...!" Nudge started. Iggy interrupted her.

"Guys, go get us some sandwiches." He said and thrust a crumpled $10 bill into the air around Nudge.

While Angel, Nudge and Gazzy flew off, Iggy turned to me.

"What are we going to do, Max?" He asked. Panic wasn't far from his voice.

"What do you mean?"

"If he did it once, he could very well do it again. He didn't tell anything, sure, but what if he's wearing down? If he leaves again, he's not going to go to spy, he's going to blab on us. We've gotta keep an eye on him."

"Iggy. This is Fang. What has he done before?" I asked. I was surprised at Iggy.

"I'm just sayin'..."

"Sorry for being such a sap." Fang said. He was finally sitting up and eating. "I really wanted you to take me." A hint of a smile flashed across his face.

"Of course." I looked out over the bright night lights of New York. Suddenly I was angry. "Why, Fang? Why did you do it?"

"I was starting to worry about you all. Angel just isn't the same after they got her that one time."

"Fair. But would you stop acting like super man before you get us all killed?"

"I was just trying to..." Fang paused. Street cars honked loudly below us. "Whatever. Look, Max, They did something to Angel. They messed with her mind and her DNA or something. Pretty soon she's going to leave us."

"Angel wouldn't..."

"She's not the same Angel we used to know." I nodded. Yeah, definitely not. But then there are two people I have to keep my eye on. If both eyes are taken there's none left for the Erasers, or worse. This would be the perfect time for them to come. Right when I wasn't looking.
