  “Fans still hanging on your every word?” Max asked sleepily some time later.

  Fang looked up from his blog. He didn’t know how much time had passed. The slightest tint of pink on the horizon made the rest of the world seem blacker somehow. But he could clearly see every freckle on Max’s tired face.

  “Yep,” he said. Max shook her head, then relaxed into the crook of a large branch. Her eyes drifted shut again, but he knew she wasn’t yet asleep—her muscles were still tight, her body still stiff.

  It was hard for her to relax her guard. Hard for her to relax period. She had a lot to carry on those genetically enhanced shoulders, and all in all, she did a dang good job.

  But no one was perfect.

  Fang looked down at the screen he’d flipped off when Max had leaned closer. He thumbed the trackball, and the screen glowed to life again.

  His blog was attracting more and more attention—word was spreading. In just the past three days, he’d gone from twenty hits to more than a thousand. A thousand people were reading what he wrote, and probably even more would tomorrow.

  Thank God for spell-check.

  But the message on the screen now was particularly odd. He couldn’t reply to it, couldn’t trace it, couldn’t even delete it without its mysteriously reappearing moments later.

  He’d gotten one just like it yesterday. Now he reread the new one, trying to decipher where it came from, what it meant. Looking up, Fang glanced at the flock, now all sleeping in various nearby trees. It was growing lighter with every second, and Fang was pretty whipped himself.

  Iggy was slung across two branches, wings half unfolded, mouth open, one leg twitching slightly.

  Nudge and Angel had curled up close to each other in the crooks of wide live oak limbs.

  Total was nestled on Angel’s lap, one of her hands holding him protectively in place. Fang bet it was incredibly warm with that furry heat source snoozing on her.

  The Gasman was tucked almost invisibly into a large hole made by long-ago lightning. He looked younger than eight, dirty, pale with exhaustion.

  And then Max. She was sleeping lightly, characteristically frowning as she dreamed. As he watched, one of her hands coiled into a fist, and she shifted on her branch.

  Again Fang looked down at the screen, at the message just like the one he’d received yesterday.

  One of you is a traitor, it read. One of the flock has gone bad.

  We’d never been to Dallas before, and the next day, we decided to visit the John F. Kennedy memorial, as part of our “Highlights of Texas” tour. Or at least the other kids had decided, and they had outvoted me and my wacky “lie low” suggestion.

  Now we wandered around the outdoor site, and I have to tell you, I could have used a couple of explanatory plaques.

  “This thing is going to fall on our heads any second,” Total said, examining the four walls towering over us and looking around suspiciously.

  “It doesn’t say anything about President Kennedy,” the Gasman complained.

  “I guess you’re supposed to know already when you come here,” Iggy said.

  “He was a president,” Nudge said, trailing one tan hand along the smooth cement. “And he got killed. I think he was supposed to be a good president.”

  “I still think there was a second shooter.” Total sniffed and flopped on the grass.

  “Can we go now?” I asked. “Before a busload of schoolkids comes on a field trip?”

  “Yeah,” said Iggy. “But what now? Let’s do something fun.”

  I guess being on the run from bloodthirsty Erasers and insane scientists wasn’t enough fun for him. Kids today are so spoiled.

  “There’s a cowgirl museum,” said Nudge. How did she know this? No clue.

  Fang opened his laptop to a Dallas tourist site.

  “There’s a big art museum,” he said, with no convincing enthusiasm. “And an aquarium.”

  Angel sat patiently on the ground, smoothing her teddy bear Celeste’s increasingly bedraggled fur. “Let’s go to the cowgirl museum,” she said.

  I bit my lip. Why couldn’t we just get out of here, go hide someplace, take the time to figure everything out? Why was I the only one who seemed to feel a pressing need to know what the heck was going on?

  “Football game,” said Fang.

  “What?” Iggy asked, his face brightening.

  “Football game tonight, Texas Stadium.” Fang snapped the laptop shut and stood. “I think we should go.”

  I stared at him. “Are you nuts? We can’t go to a football game!” I said with my usual delicacy and tact. “Being surrounded, crowded, by tens of thousands of people, trapped inside, cameras everywhere—God, it’s a freaking nightmare just thinking about it!”

  “Texas Stadium is open to the sky,” Fang said firmly. “The Cowboys are playing the Chicago Bears.”

  “And we’ll be there!” Iggy cheered, punching the air.

  “Fang, can I talk to you privately for a second?” I asked tersely, motioning him out of the memorial.

  We stepped through an opening in the cement wall and moved a couple yards away. I put my hands on my hips. “Since when are you calling the shots?” I demanded. “We can’t go to a football game! There’s going to be cameras everywhere. What are you thinking?”

  Fang looked at me seriously, his eyes unreadable. “One, it’s going to be an awesome game. Two, we’re seizing life by the tail. Three, yeah, there’s going to be cameras everywhere. We’ll be spotted. The School and the Institute and Jeb and the rest of the whitecoats probably have feeds tapping every public camera. So they’ll know where we are.”

  I was furious and didn’t know what to think. “Funny, you didn’t look insane when you got up this morning.”

  “They’ll know where we are and they’ll come after us,” Fang said grimly. “Then we’ll know where the tornado is.”

  Comprehension finally dawned. “You want to draw them out.”

  “I can’t take not knowing,” he said quietly.

  I weighed Fang’s sanity against my determination to remain the leader. Finally I sighed and nodded. “Okay, I get it. One major firefight, coming right up. But you so owe me. I mean, my God, football!”

  6

  This may surprise you, but people in Texas are very into their contact sports. I saw more than one infant wearing a Cowboys onesie.

  I was wound tighter than a choke chain on a rottweiler, hating everything about being here. The Texas Stadium was, shock, Texas size, and we were surrounded by more than sixty thousand popcorn-munching opportunities to go postal.

  Nudge was eating blue cotton candy, her eyes like Frisbees, looking at everything. “I want big hair!” she said excitedly, tugging on my shirt.

  “I blame you,” I told Fang, and he almost smiled.

  We sat down low, by the middle of the field, about as far from any exit as we could be. I would have been much happier, or at least slightly less miserable, in the nosebleed section, close to the open sky. Down here, despite the lack of roof on the stadium, I felt hemmed in and trapped.

  “Tell me again what we’re doing here,” I said, running a continuous scan of our surroundings.

  Fang popped some Cracker Jack into his mouth. “We’re here to watch manly men do manly things.”

  I followed Fang’s line of sight: He was watching the Dallas Cowboys Cheerleaders, who were not doing manly things, by any stretch of the imagination.

  “What’s going on?” Iggy asked. Unlike the others, he was as tense as I was. In a strange place, surrounded by loud, echoing noise, unable to get his bearings—I wondered how long it would take him to crack.

  “If anything happens,” I told him, “stand on your chair and do an up-and-away, ten yards out and straight up. Got it?”

  “Yeah,” he said, turning his head nervously, wiping his hands on his grubby jeans.

  “I want to be a cheerleader,” Nudge said wistfully.

  “Oh, for God’s sake,�
�� I snapped, but a look from Fang shut me up. It meant, don’t rain on her parade. No matter how ill-conceived and sexist that parade might be. Inside, I was burning up. I never should have agreed to this. I was hugely miffed that Fang had insisted on it. Now, watching him practically salivate over the horrifically perky cheerleaders, I got even madder.

  “They’re wearing tiny little shorts. One of them has long red hair,” he was murmuring to Iggy, who nodded, rapt.

  And we all know how much you like long red hair, I thought, remembering how it had felt, seeing Fang kiss the Red-Haired Wonder back in Virginia. Acid started to burn a hole in my stomach.

  “Max?” Angel looked up at me. I really had to get these kids into a bath soon, I realized, looking at her limp blond curls.

  “Yes, honey? You hungry?” I started to wave down a hot-dog vendor.

  “No. I mean, yeah, I’ll take two hot dogs, and Total wants two too—but I meant, it’s okay.”

  “What’s okay?”

  “Everything.” She looked up at me earnestly. “Everything will be okay, Max. We’ve come this far—we’re supposed to survive. We’ll survive, and you’ll save the world, like you’re supposed to.”

  Well, reality just shows up sometimes, doesn’t it?

  “I’m not comfortable in this stadium,” I explained, trying to look calm.

  “I know. And you hate Fang looking at those girls. But we’re still having fun, and Fang still loves you, and you’ll still save the world. Okay?”

  My mouth was agape, and my brain was frantically trying to process which statement to respond to first—Fang loves me?—when I heard someone whisper, “Is that one of those bird kids?”

  7

  Angel and I looked at each other, and I saw a world of comprehension in her gaze that made her seem much older than six.

  It took only seconds for the rest of the flock to hear the whispers and to realize that the whispers were growing and spreading.

  “Mom! I think that’s those bird kids we saw in the newspaper!”

  “Jason, look over there. Are they the kids in the pictures?”

  “Oh, my goodness!”

  “Rebecca, come here!”

  And so on and so forth. I guess some photographer must have gotten picures of us flying away from Disney World and splashed them all over the newspapers. God forbid we should be able to watch a lousy football game with nothing extreme happening.

  Out of the corner of my eye, I saw two blue-uniformed security men starting down the aisle toward us. A fast 360 revealed no one morphing into Erasers, but there were many eyes on us, many mouths wide open in surprise.

  “Should we run?” Gazzy asked nervously, watching the crowd, mapping exit routes like he’d been taught.

  “Running’s too slow,” I said.

  “The game hasn’t even started,” Total said bitterly from under Iggy’s seat. “I have money on the Bears!”

  “You’re welcome to stay here and see how the score ends up.” I stood, began grabbing backpacks, counting flock members. The usual.

  Total crawled out and jumped nimbly into Iggy’s arms.

  I tapped Iggy’s hand twice. In an instant, we climbed onto our chairs. The muttering of voices was swelling, rising all around us, and the next thing I knew, our faces were twenty feet high, being projected onto the enormous stadium screens. Just like Fang had wanted. I hoped he was happy.

  “Up and away on three,” I said. Two more security guards were approaching fast from the right.

  People were moving away from us, and I was glad the stadium had a namby-pamby no-weapons policy. Now even the cheerleaders’ eyes were on us, though they didn’t pause in their routine.

  “One,” I began, and we all leaped into the air, right over everyone’s head.

  Whoosh! I unfurled my wings hard and fast. My wingspan is almost thirteen feet, tip to tip, and Fang’s and Iggy’s are even wider.

  I bet we looked like avenging angels, hovering over the astonished crowd. Kind of grungy avenging angels. Angels in need of a good scrub.

  “Move it!” I ordered, still scanning the audience, checking for Erasers. The last batch of Erasers had been able to fly, but no one seemed to be taking to the air except us.

  A couple of hard downstrokes and we were level with the open edge of the roof, looking down at the brightly lit field, the tiny faces all staring at us. Some people were smiling and punching the air. Most seemed shocked and scared. I saw some faces that looked angry.

  But none were elongating, becoming furry, growing oversize canine fangs. They were all staying human.

  As we shot off into the night, flying in perfect formation like navy jets, I wondered: Where have all the Erasers gone?

  8

  “It sucked, but it was way cool at the same time,” Gazzy said. “I felt like the Blue Angels!”

  “Yeah, except the Blue Angels are an extremely well funded, well equipped, well trained, well fed, and no doubt squeaky-clean group of crack navy pilots,” I said. “And we’re a bunch of unfunded, unequipped, semitrained, not nearly well fed enough, and filthy mongrel avian-human hybrids. But other than that, it’s exactly the same.”

  I knew what he meant, though. As mad as I was about our being in that situation in the first place, and as much as I hated being on the run yet again, and as vulnerable as that last little stunt had made us, still—the feeling of flying in tight formation, all of us with wide, beautiful, awesome wings...it was just incredibly cool.

  Gazzy gave a hesitant smile, picking up on my tension, not knowing if I was trying to be funny. I sat down, stuck a straw in a juice pouch, and sucked it dry, then tossed it aside and drained another one.

  We were hiding in the Texas mountains, close to the border of Me-hi-co. We’d found a deep, very narrow canyon that protected us from the wind, and now we were settled on the bottom, in front of a small fire.

  I hadn’t been this mad at Fang for this long a period of time since—never. Sure, I’d agreed to his lame-butt idea, but actually, now that I thought about it, it was about six times stupider than I’d realized.

  “Hmm,” said Fang, looking at the laptop. “We’re everywhere—TV news, papers, radio. Seems a lot of people got photos.”

  “There’s a surprise,” I said. “I bet that explains those helicopters we were hearing.”

  “Are you okay, Max?” Nudge asked timidly.

  I gave Nudge an almost convincing smile. “Sure, sweetie. I’m just...tired.”

  I couldn’t help shooting a glance at Fang.

  He looked up. “I got a hundred and twenty-one thousand hits today.”

  “Whaaat? Really?” He had that kind of audience? He could barely spell!

  “Yeah. People are organizing, actually trying to find out info for us.”

  Iggy frowned. “What if they get caught by whitecoats?”

  “What are you writing about?” I admit I hadn’t been reading his blog. Too busy trying to stay alive, etc.

  “Us. Trying to get all the puzzle pieces out there, see if anyone can help us put the big picture together.”

  “That’s a good idea, Fang,” said Angel, turning her hot dog over to burn the other side. “We need to make connections.”

  What did she mean by that?

  Connections are important, Max.

  The Voice was back.

  9

  I was so startled by the Voice’s sudden reappearance that I jumped and practically fell against the rock wall.

  Instinctively I put a hand to my temple, as if I could feel the Voice running under my skin like a river.

  “You okay?” Iggy reached out and touched my jeans. He’d felt me jump.

  “Yeah,” I muttered, walking away from the group. I felt them all looking at me, but I didn’t want to explain.

  Voice. Long time no annoy, I thought.

  You were doing pretty well on your own, it replied. As before, it was impossible to tell whether it was young or old, male or female, human or machine. I was instantly aw
are of a schizoid reaction: Part of me felt irritated, invaded, suspicious, resentful—and part of me was flooded with relief, like I wasn’t so alone.

  Which was dumb. I lived with my five best friends and a dog. They were my family, my life. How could I possibly feel alone?

  Everyone is always alone, Max, said the Voice, chipper as always. That’s why connections are important.

  Have you been reading Hallmark cards again? I thought. I walked out to the end of the canyon and found myself a mere ten feet from a ledge that dropped sharply into a much deeper, bigger canyon.

  Connections, Max. Remember your dream?

  I frowned, not knowing what the Voice was talking about.

  You mean my dream of becoming the first avian-American Miss America? I thought snidely.

  No. Your dream that the Erasers are chasing you, and you run through the woods until you come to a ledge. Then you fall off the ledge but start flying. And escape.

  My breath left my chest with an audible oof. I hadn’t had that dream since...well, since my dream had been replaced by a reality that was much worse. How had the Voice known about it?

  “Yeah, so?” I said out loud.

  This canyon is very much like your dream. It’s as if you’ve come full circle.

  I had no clue. No idea what the Voice meant.

  Connections. Putting it all together. Your dream, Fang’s laptop, people you’ve met, places you’ve been. Itex, the School, the Institute. Isn’t it all connected?

  Okay, but how? I practically shouted.

  I almost thought I heard the Voice sigh, but probably just imagined it.

  You’ll see. You’ll figure it out. Before it’s too late.

  That’s comforting, I thought angrily. Thanks.

  Then I had another thought. Voice? Where are all the Erasers?

  Granted, the Voice had never answered a direct question—no, that would have been too easy. You don’t just give the rat a piece of cheese—you make her work for it, right?

  Shrugging, I turned and headed back to the others.

  They’re dead, Max, said the Voice. They’ve all been...retired.
