Prisoner- Chapter 7

The flock arrived in front of Itex landing just a few meters away. Once again Jeb was there to greet them.

"Did you find them?" He asked walking toward them.

"No, she wasn't there, never was." Fang said coldly.

"That's impossible." Jeb said shaking his head. "Her chip reading came from there."

"We know you're lying." Nudge said crossing her arms across her chest.

"You're going to tell us where Max is." Angel said concentrating all her energy on Jeb.

"No I'm not." He said firmly. "I don't know where she is."

"Take us to the computer and prove it." Fang ordered.

"I tried that before remember?" Jeb questioned. "You thought it was a trap. Why would you want to chance it now?"

"Are you going to show us or not?" Fang asked stepping closer to him.

"Come this way." Jeb said turning and heading for the door.

"Nudge, come with me. Iggy, you're in charge." Fang said following Jeb, Nudge close behind. They followed Jeb down a long white hall to a small room with a computer and a stack of files on a desk. Jeb motioned for the two to come up behind him as he took a seat in the only chair in front of the computer.

"Each one of you has a code." Jeb said clicking on a code number. "Erasers too." He added looking back at the pair before turning back to the computer. "See here." He said pointing at two dots on the computer. "That one is Max and the other is Ari."

"Area 5436." Fang read. "That's the Institute?"

"Yes, each area is five miles wide and five miles long. That area is the Institute." Jeb replied nodding. "That's why I don't understand how Max and Ari couldn't have been there."

Nudge quickly looked up from where her hand was just barely touching the computer. "Fang, we should go." She said giving him a look that said I found something.

"She ran down the hall out to the rest of the flock, Fang close behind. When she stopped in front of the three Fang asked, "What is it?"

"She's in the woods." Nudge started.

"We know, remember? Gazzy told us after he got a new ability." Iggy stated.

"These woods." Nudge stated.

"Oh." Iggy said embarrassed for interrupting.

"You sure?" Fang asked furrowing his eyebrows.

"Yes." She said looking around then pointing. "That way."

"Ok, let's go." Fang said taking off with the flock close behind.
