Hello! Thanks for all the loving coments and fans. Though I wish there were some more, aw well heres the next chapter it's in Fangs POV, sorry to the Iggy lovers!! I miss him but he's up next!! Here we go: Disclamier: Again i do NOT own Maximum Ride, Patterson does but read my story!!

Chapter 5: Figuring It Out

I paced back in forth in the living room, heart pounding, head throbbing, wings tingling. I just couldn't sit down and relax, no way. Not while Iggy was wherever he was. Who knows what they're doing to him now.

Max was talking quietly to her mom and Ella; the others where spread among the couch all sitting wide awake and scared.

No one could sleep at all now. Nudge was lying across the couch wrapping Angel's bloody wrist while the Gasman had his eyes glued on the window.

"Fang?" Gazzy brought me out of thought. He was standing up now right next to me tugging my shirt. "Where do you think Iggy is? Do you think he's okay?" He squeaked in a small voice.

Iggy was his partner in crime. He needed Iggy.

Iggy had gone through enough pain being blind and all now. The thought of him suffering even more boiled anger in my veins.

"I don't know Gazzy." I sighed regretting my words. "But I promise you we will save him. He will be okay." I ruffled his messy hair and he smiled faintly.

"I know." He croaked looking back outside again. My throat felt tight and I shook it off returning to my pacing. Okay Fang think. Where could he have gone? Who could have him? What could they be doing to him now? Would he be okay?

Fang calm down. One thought at a time. Even though I knew who this was I couldn't help but shudder as she talked to me. It still was different to know a little six-year-old was entering your mind, reading your thoughts. Kinda odd right?

I know Angel. But why are we just sitting here when he's out there? I thought back still walking.

Because we don't know where he is exactly. I know, I just want to leap out the window now and fly everywhere just to find him. Angel looked at me from the couch, eyes swimming in tears. I walked over taking a seat next to her and wrapped my arms around her body. I stroked her hair as she leaned on me and buried her face.

I know but promise me you'll stay put and won't control minds unless Max or I say. We can't afford losing another one of us yet. Angel nodded as I pondered.

"Fang." Max called from the kitchen. I carefully moved off the couch heading for Max waiting for what's next. When I came in I wrapped my arms around Max's waist and looked at Dr. Martinez.

"Why do you think they took Iggy Fang?" She began. I stopped for having to never really think of this. "Do you think they took him only as a reason?"

"No! Why would they take Iggy? I mean he's well…" max bit her lip.

"Blind?" her mom finished. "Does that mean he's completely useless? Is he really not valuable?"

"No! we never said that." Max protested.

"But that's how Iggy feels you know." Angel walked into the room now obviously not thinking about respecting privacy. She shot me a look but went on. "He feels useless sometimes and deadweight, at least in his thoughts he does."

"So why would the Erasers take him and leave you all behind? I mean they haven't come back for you and they took him?" Dr. Martinez folded her arms over her chest.

"I-I don't know." Max stammered.

"She's right Max. They want him for a reason. Maybe to get to us, but they want him." I said slowly thinking about what Angel said. I can't believe Iggy thought that way.

"Gazzy what are you doing?!" Nudge shrieked from the other room.

Uh-oh. We all bolted in the room, to find Gazzy at a desk rubbing a pencil across the back of a paper. Our note.

"Gazzy!" Mom yelled racing over to him but Gazzy shoved her back.

"Stop Max! Look I found a clue! Just stop!" Gazzy yelled raising the paper up. Everyone froze then and listened to Gazzy carefully as he began. Gazzy laid the note down with the pencil rubbing on the back. In deeper writing were etched

N.Y.C 22, 115

Was it a clue? Could it actually mean something?

"Somebody left us something on the back of this note. Now we just have to figure out what it means exactly." Gazzy ruffled his brow. Max grabbed him in a tight hug.

"Good job man! This is so helpful!" She cried and I felt a grin upon my lips.

"Nyc? Nyc? Nyc? Now what does that mean?" Nudge groaned on the couch. Now I felt the happiness grow as I shot up.

"New York City! The initials! Something's in that city!" I said, and everyone's faces lit up as they realized it fit perfectly. But what did 22 or 115 mean?

"Maybe…" Ella murmured pulling some papers out.

"What's that?" Max asked looking at the papers leaning over her sister.

"Maps of New York City. Those numbers look like coordinates maybe. It could be a place." Ella murmured glancing at the pages.

Maybe we would find Iggy soon.

"So the central library huh?" I muttered looking up at the large marble library directly at a stone lion.

"Um, maybe I was wrong?" Ella frowned gulping. I shrugged and was the first to enter the building and guess what the first thing I saw was.

Max's name. Lying right by the door on top of a CD. It was by some band called the red Hot Chili Peppers or something like that. Max saw it too and snatched the CD.

"So what now? It's a freaking CD!" Max cried pushing the CD into those free play headphones. I had to agree, we were at the right place but how was this suppose to help us at all? I slid the head phones on and listened to the first song. Maybe they were instructions.

Turns out the first song was called California Cation. Suddenly like a hot iron, it hit me and Angel gaped. This was a clue! The song was a clue!

"He's in California! The School!" I yelled along with Angel.
