Sorry guys, another filler today. Something big is going to happen soon, a couple big somethings. I think I know what I'm going to do, and something should happen within the next few chapters.
Thank God we landed without attracting too much attention. We were all exhausted and hungry, and the last thing we wanted to do was have another confrontation with the media. They were too distracted by the explosions, anyways. We went to the library, the same one we went to last time we came to New York, partially to research on the DG, but mostly to get our bearings. We'd had a very long day.
But one thing still bothered me. If the DG sent those Erasers after us, why blow them up? Unless…the DG didn't send the Erasers. Then who did?
There were only three possibilities I could think of: Jeb, rouge whitecoats, and Itex. All of them were bad.
Could Itex really be back? That would really complicate things. Taking them and the DG down seemed nearly impossible. For once, the Voice wasn't there to comment.
The sun was setting. And we'd still accomplished nothing at the computers. "We should probably get going," I said. I didn't get an actual response, but everyone stood up and walked over to me. We left and started heading over to Central Park. When we almost had complete tree cover, Iggy's phone started to ring in his pocket…what the hell? How was that still in his pocket? We'd been flying, shot at on a plane, nearly blown up on a boat, and he still had his phone in his pocket?
I tried to listen in on his conversation. "Hello? Oh, hey Fang. Yeah we're alive, who'd you think answered the phone? Really? Ok, I'll tell her." Iggy hung up. I hadn't heard a word Fang had said. He turned to me. "Fang called to make sure we didn't die when our flight exploded. And he said he found the DG website," Iggy snorted. I guess I was glad he thought to call after hearing our flight exploded, but I was pissed he couldn't call me himself. As far as the DG website was concerned…couldn't he have called us hours ago while we were still at the library?
Subject 11, formerly known as Angel, stood among DG organizers. "The One Light will save us all," they chanted in unison. "We must kill the humans to save the planet. And in order to that-" the continued. Angel finished. "-We must kill the Flock."
So, there's the setup for some action in the next few chapters. It's a short chapter, but it's an update. R&R?
