A/N: so…sorry for the wait. I had given up writing, but decided to finish this first and then stop. Thanks for choosing Erased. Review please!

Adi POV

"Miss Rivera, the principal will see you know." I smiled at the intern, one of the reasons I love getting sent to the office, and walked to the back to sit in my—yes, my—chair.

"What's up, Mrs. Greene?" I asked. The principal, Mrs. Greene and I are very close. I'm here so often that she can't even be mad at me anymore.

"Adi, what did you do this time?"

"I don't really remember," I told her with a sheepish smile. "I might have fallen asleep."

She rolled her green eyes at me and smiled. "I'm sure. So what's new with you?"

"Uh in Lang, we started this project. I'm dreading it, it's myth vs. alienation. We're focusing on these kids from America that have wings."

"Oh, yes I know all about them. My daughter loves them."

"Well are they real?" I asked. "It seems so farfetched." Mrs. Greene shrugged.

"I don't know, Adi. But lots of people think they're real. There are pictures and videos, and interviews. Lots of evidence to prove they exist."

"Then where are they now?"

"Lots of people wanted them dead or captured, Adi. They're probably in hiding. They are, after all, only kids."

"And their names: Maximum Ride, Fang, Iggy, Nudge, the Gasman, and Angel. Do they all have Ride as a last name? Or is Max the only one special enough to have one? And Fang, what is he a vampire? And the Gasman—uh gross."

Mrs. Greene stared at me during my rant. "Have you been sleeping, Adi?" She finally asked.

I sighed. "Not really. I have a lot on my mind. Mum left for work again, and I'm just really restless."

"Maybe your minds trying to tell you something." She suggested.

I shot her a look. "Right."

Unknown POV

"Well? How is it?" I asked as the men in military uniform got out of the car.

"Everything is exactly in place." Their leader, Lt. Carstarphen, and one of my close friends said.

I grinned. "Perfect, this is perfect. And she doesn't remember you at all?"

"We had a staring contest, but a girl, Mina I think her name was, pulled her out of her trance." I nodded, picking up a duffle and throwing it into the armored truck.

"Great, you're staying here, right?"

He nodded. "Yeah and Summers is going to New Zealand, Greek to Canada, Edmond to the Bahamas, and Cord to England. Are you sure you don't want me in Virginia? Greene is already here, and making progress from what I understand.

I thought about it. "Actually, yeah that's a good idea. I need to deliver something anyway, but can't get too close. So that'd be perfect."

"Cool." He said and took the package I gave to him.

"And avoid Anne Walker; she's really getting on my nerves. She's getting way too close."

"I could always shoot her." Carstarphen suggested with a grin. "No one'll miss her."

"No one will miss her," I agreed. "But Itex would definitely notice."

"Eh, you could always—"

"No."

"Party pooper. Well, gotta go. Planes leaving soon. I'll get the package to your insider ASAP."

"I appreciate it."

We started walking towards his plane. "So when are you leaving?"

"Not long after you guys. I have a meeting with Greene this afternoon then I'm leaving."

"Where ya heading?" I put my finger to my lips.

"It's a secret."

Adi POV

"Mrs. Greene, sorry to interrupt," The intern said, sticking his head in the door. "But I wanted to remind you about your meeting downtown in 30 minutes."

Mrs. Greene jumped up. "Oh! Right, I completely forgot. Adi, I have to go."

"Okay, who are you meeting?" Mrs. Greene smiled at me as she gathered her things.

"An old friend. Your would love her."

"Well you should take me than. It's not like I'm doing anything." She gave me a look. "Okay. Okay. Maybe another time. Have fun."

"Thanks Adi, oh and try not to fall asleep."

"Yeah. Right." I said and she ran out of her office.

Unknown POV – this is someone else's POV. Not the one a second ago with the soldiers. Sorry for all the changes in POVs, I'm trying to fill in some blanks.

Mia,

I am pleased to know she does not remember much. However, please let me know how your future tests on memory go. Another thing, I want you to be keeping a sharp eye out for Fang. His description: 6 foot two, black hair, dark eyes, olive skin. I know I said he was dead but the other day one of my scientists gathered information about activity in and around Virginia, and sends the Flock is a member names, and Dylan, Ella, and Dr. Martinez are in our custody I have to assume Fang is alive. If he is, then the first person to help go to is Max.

Keep me updated.

Director,

Nothing out of the ordinary here. She's keeping to a normal schedule – spending times with friends and spending time in principals as much as usual.

A Fang has gotten a hold her, and then she shows no sign of distress—so I figure if he did then she didn't remember him up at am just thought he was a freak or he has no idea where she is.

Another thing, I don't think he would go straight to Max because he knows that you know that that's what you would expect. If it were me, I would assume he would go for someone like Nudge or the Gasman first. It wouldn't be Angel because that would also be too obvious, and Iggy is blind.

Hope I've.

A/N: who are the two unknown people? Anyone want to guess? I'll give you a virtual cookie if you review. Have any ideas? I'm still just writing with no real idea how to get to the main plot. Suggestions? Review? Pretty please with Fang on top.
