CHAPTER 36
Third Person POV
"Angel?" Iggy asked from the tree branch above Angel. "Can you reach any minds from here?"
"I can try," she replied.
Nudge and Iggy remained quiet as Angel began concentrating. Nudge examined the School from her perch next to Angel.
"There's a vent on the roof near the south end at 5 o'clock," Nudge declared.
Iggy nodded, calculating the distance and direction in which Nudge described.
Angel sighed and said, "I'm only getting a little bit from inside. We're too far away."
"Let's get to the roof," Iggy stated. "You can try again from there."
A loud explosion echoed through the area, causing Nudge and Angel to tense up.
"Music to my ears," Iggy smiled. "That was our wonderful creation you just listened to."
"Come on," Nudge chuckled before composing herself. "We need to go."
The three bird-kids flew high above the School, circling it from above while checking for any immediate dangers.
"All clear," Angel announced.
Nudge took the lead, and, one by one, they folded their wing in, dive-bombing toward their desired landing spot. Snapping their wings out again at just the right time, they landed silently on the roof. Angel took Iggy's hand and followed Nudge to the air vent.
Nudge's hand hovered over the screws holding the metal cover over the vent, and slowly pulled them to her. Iggy and Angel held onto the cover and gently placed it to the side when the screws were removed.
"Wait," Iggy said almost inaudibly. "Are you getting anything, Ange?"
Angel closed her eyes, listening for thoughts.
A moment later, she opened her eyes and worriedly whispered, "Yea. It sounds like Max, Fang, and Gazzy are winning against the Flyboy army. The white coats are going to send more soon."
"We have to work fast," Iggy demanded. "Let's go."
Angel climbed in first, followed by Iggy, then, Nudge. They crawled through the vents until they reached an opening to an empty room. Angel and Iggy crawled over the hatch, letting Nudge put her powers to use again. She caught the door before it crashed to the ground and set it behind her in the vent.
"I'll go first," Iggy whispered.
Being the tallest, he could land below while making the least amount of noise. Doing just that, he slipped through the opening and soundlessly landed in the room. He held his arms up to help Nudge down. Once her feet touched the floor, she began scanning the room.
Angel dropped into Iggy's arms, and he carefully set her down on her feet.
"We're clear," Angel said into their thoughts. "I don't hear anyone saying that we're here or anything."
Iggy and Nudge nodded, then, Nudge glided toward the computer in the corner of the room.
"I'm going to see if I can hack the security cameras. You know? Set them on an endless loop," Nudge whispered with an evil grin.
"Do it," Iggy agreed. "Angel, keep on guard with any thoughts that are closing in. I'll listen out for footsteps."
Nudge's fingers flew across the keyboard, opening window after window and typing in different codes.
When she paused, Iggy glanced over to her direction and asked, "Did it work?"
"Well, yea," she spoke softly. "But I found these other files. About some of the plans for Itex. They kind of look like decoy plans, though. Like, they were expecting someone to try to come and steal them. And some of them have interesting titles. Here's the old Re-Evolution Plan. Oh, and this one is 'Fire.' There's a bunch more. 'Plant.' 'Decoy.' 'Sun.' 'Dates.' Wonder what that's about."
"No time," Iggy said quietly but quickly. "Someone's coming down the hall. We need to hide."
"I'll try to make them keep walking," Angel said in Iggy's mind.
Angel held up a hand to Nudge, motioning for her to remain still and quiet.
Finally, the footsteps passed their room, and they all let out a relieved sigh.
"Ok," Angel whispered. "The hall is clear. Now what?"
"We need to find the central computer," Iggy decided. "Wipe out the entire hard drive so they can't use the Flyboys or anything."
"Where will we find that?" Nudge asked curiously.
Angel answered, "I think it's at the very center of the building. At least, that's where most of the thoughts are coming from."
"Alright," Iggy announced. "Let's go find that computer!"
