Chapter Fourteen

Fang took the computer from a beaming Nudge and began to navigate around the files.

"It looks like it's just what we found in New York," she said as she looked over Fang's shoulder.

"They have to have a map…or a list…or something," he muttered as his eyes scanned the home page.

I reached past Iggy to get the pad of paper off the nightstand. "We already know that there's one in California, New York, and Florida," I said as I jotted down the states.

"The one in California is pretty much destroyed," Iggy added. I crossed that one off.

"Wait! Go there," Nudge exclaimed, pointing to a link at the top of the page. It said 'Other Affiliates.' There would probably be something in there.

Fang clicked on the link, and the page immediately opened up to another page with states lifted alphabetically in one column, and countries in another. Every single one had a link, but only about seven were red.

"What is it?" Iggy asked, slightly annoyed at being left out.

"A page of states and countries," I told him while scanning the list. "Apparently every single state is associated with Itex somehow."

"The red ones are probably the only important ones," Fang said after clicking on some of the red links. He took the pad of paper from my hands, flipped to a clean sheet of paper, and jotted down the names. "Looks like they're the main buildings; we destroy them, we destroy everything."

"What are the red ones?" Iggy asked. We really needed to start explaining things to him more. He acts so normal that we're constantly forgetting that he's blind.

"California, which we already defeated, Colorado, Iowa, Kentucky, Texas, Vermont, and Washington," Fang replied, reading off his list.

"No other countries? Or New York?" Nudge asked, looking over the list on the screen.

"Guess they didn't trust other countries enough to make them too important," I said. At least California was on the list. One down, six to go.

"How do we know that these are important, though?" Iggy asked.

"Well, California is obviously important," I said. "And I know that I've heard Iowa before…." I bit my lip, trying to remember where I had heard it before. "Oh! The new Voice told me to go to Iowa right before the brain attack!" I said, finally remembering.

"And if it wanted you to save the world, it would be telling you to go where Itex is," Fang added, quickly catching on to where I was going with that. I nodded.

"Guess this list is pretty accurate, then," Iggy said. "So, where to first, Max?"

I shrugged. "I guess Washington, so we don't have to come all the way out west again."

"Oh! Isn't that were the president is, Max? Could we meet him?" Nudge asked, quickly dropping her mature attitude and returning to her childish one. I guess old habits are hard to break.

"That's Washington D.C., Nudge," Fang told her.

Nudge's face fell. "Oh, right."

"Max? Are you guys going to come eat?" Angel called out from the kitchen. I had completely forgotten that she and Gazzy were still in eating.

"Yeah, sweetie, one second," I replied. I stood up and turned to Iggy, Nudge, and Fang. "So, Washington first?"

"Okay," Iggy said. He and Nudge stood up to join the kids in the kitchen.

"When do we leave?" Fang asked as he shut down his laptop.

"Right after we eat," I replied. The sooner we saved the world, the fewer brain attacks I'd get. I really didn't want Fang to see me have one of the new ones; he'd definitely overreact. All we had to do was save the world, and I'd be home free. Right?

AN: Sorry it's so short! I have something big that's going to happen soon. (Or in several chapters.) Just hang on. And there will be Fax coming up soon!

Remember to tell me if you want Niggy or not! If you don't reply, you don't get a say in it! So REVIEW:P

Oh, and Happy Thanksgiving:P
