Max's POV

The boy stood there on top of the staircase. He was taller than Fang and had strawberry blonde hair and wore dark sunglasses.

"Friend or foe?" he called to us.

"Friend" I called back.

"Prove it" he said, gripping the gun.

"Well you can see we don't bear the Brax mark" Fang said. The boy lowered his gun and started heading down towards us.

"That's a little hard seems I'm blind" he said.

"Then how did you shot them?" I asked. He tapped his temple and I saw that connected to his glasses was a small electric devise.

"My own invention. It's a device that allows me to see where objects are like a bat. So I can't see details, but I get the idea when a human is around and stuff like that" he said.

"Cool" Fang said and the boy turned to look at him.

"You are the only male" he said reaching out and touching Fang's shoulder to prove he knew where he was.

"How can you tell?" I asked.

"The object I see is human sized but a little bigger in the shoulder area and that" the boy told me.

"What if he was just fat?" I asked and he chuckled.

"In this place?" he said and I grinned.

"Who are you?" I asked.

"Name is Iggy. I don't belong to any tribe. My dad owned this mall, so I've been here since, guarding the place" he said.

"I'm Max, this is Fang and Ella" I said.

"The one on the ground?" Iggy asked and I looked down to see Ella had fallen unconscious.

"Ella?!" I yelled shaking her.

"I have some medical stuff" Iggy said rushing off. Fang shrugged at me then picked Ella up and we followed Iggy.

"Ow, who put that there?" Iggy mumbled to himself as he bumped into something and Fang gave me a funny look. We followed Iggy into a room and I saw it had a bed and a few medical things around.

"Put her on the bed" Iggy said opening the cupboard and feeling around. He pulled out a box and opened it. I then watched in awe as he cleaned and dressed Ella's leg wound.

"How are you doing that?" I asked.

"My mum was a doctor. And because I'm blind my other senses are better so I can feel all the little things in the wound and that" he said wrapping up her leg. He poked and prodded at her head while Fang and I just stood there dumbfounded.

"She'll be fine, just have a killer headache when she wakes up" he said.

"She should stay here the night. This place is filled with beds and things you could use if you wanted to stay. You can stay as long as you want" He told us.

"Thank you Iggy, how could we repay you?" I asked.

"It's a tough world out there. I'd just hope if something ever happened you would have my back" he shrugged.

"Of course" Fang said. It was getting dark so Fang and I set up some beds and for the first time in what seemed forever, I actually had a good night's sleep.

"Morning" Fang grumbled as he sleepily made his way downstairs. Iggy and I were already up and sitting at a table.

"Morning" we both chimed. It was probably closer to lunch time if anything, Fang and I had both slept most of the morning away. Fang sat down next to us and we just started casually talking.

"Seems there is going to be more than just me now, we might need to work on food" Iggy said and I had noticed the cupboards were quite bare.

"Fang and I will go out today" I said.

"You sure? You were around when 4 Brax's were killed" Iggy said and I frowned. I guess that made us wanted criminals.

Eventually Fang and I decided to leave to collect supplies. Ella had still not woken to so kissed her forehead before leaving, in case we never returned.

We snuck out, staying along the shadows like always. Our little backpack was filling up with junk that might be useful. When suddenly sirens blazed. I hadn't even realised how close the truck was. It had come out of nowhere.

Fang and I bolted, running as hard as we could, not even bothering to try and be discreet about it. I ran around the corner, Fang just behind me.

It wasn't until a few meters ahead I had realised Fang had never gone around the corner.

Without even thinking I charged around the corner to find Fang. I had made it just in time to see two Brax's throwing an unconscious Fang into their truck and driving off.
