The syringes in the special metallic suitcase were quite large. The needle itself was a good three inches long, which didn't exactly make Xin jump for joy when she saw them. However, she had heard that the Altered process in the past was quite the painful one.
So perhaps this was an easier alternative compared to before, which she was pleased about. When looking at them closely she could see that the liquid that was filled inside each one of them was a different colour, one green, one blue and finally the last one was a yellow colour.
“Of course, there is only so much data that we can gather based on the fossils of the beast we dig up.” The NIRV employee continued. “Still, I will try to do my best to
Lately, Anton Millstun had been spending more time inside his office rather than out on the field. Not because there weren't many crimes going on in Slough, it was quite the opposite. It was because lately, a certain case of his had become an obsession. In his office he had made a board, with photos of different cases and linking them all together with names written underneath.“There really haven’t been any more killings done by a crazed Altered ever since Billy has been dealt with.” The Chief of Police talked out loud, as he often did, since it helped him think more clearly.“All the deaths can be added up to him, but there are still things that don’t make sense. The main one being the blood that was foun
When school came to an end, Tom picked up his speed to get home, unable to contain his excitement any longer. Today he would be leaving Slough. Not forever, of course, but he would spend the next week or so gaining valuable work experience. The best thing about it, he would be doing so under his parents’ supervision.Honestly, Tom had always been interested in what exactly his parents were doing. When asked about it, they would explain a few details here and there, but they seemed to avoid that particular question, always stating that they would tell him once he was older.This curiosity drove Tom mad and in the end, it had largely contributed to his desire to want to follow in his parent's foot
Even at this late hour, inside the reception hall, Tom could see countless workers in their white lab coats all around the place. It seemed like a building that never went to sleep. Regardless, this was just the reception hall and there was not really anything to see here, the real interesting stuff was inside.Walking up to the desk, it looked like his father was speaking to the receptionist for a while, and eventually, they handed over a digital tablet to him.“You need to read this and sign here before we can give you a temporary pass for your internship.” His father explained as he handed over the tablet.“This… it's a contract? An NDA contract? So I can't talk about
After the trio returned to the Wolf’s Pool Club, Tyler was told to go home. He was given the same type of burner phone like all the other Howlers and was instructed to answer it as soon as he got called. The job seemed quite easy for the university student, and he was pleased with what he needed to do.Of course, he wanted to ask questions after seeing a group of scary people leaving the place, but he remembered the warning from the blonde guy in the fox mask. Surprised that Kai had decided to pay him for the rest of the month up front, he took the hint and left.‘I’ll just ask Gary about it when I see him.’ Tyler thought, unaware that the high schooler was with him the whole time. In fact, Tyler actually h
Not counting the meeting, it was a rather normal day for the Howlers. Since there was school the next day, the teenagers didn’t stay too long in the pool club, either. Each of them went back home, continuing their ordinary lives. Right now, the gang was on a reaction basis. They would wait to see the moves of the others first before they themselves acted.However, what none of them could have known was just how special tonight actually was going to be. It certainly wasn’t a night where they could have afforded to relax.What used to be one of the grey colour gang bases was currently being used by the Grey Elephants. It had been empty for a while and not even grey colour gang members were allowed
Although it was late and already dark out, there was one brave woman wrapped up in a coat traversing through the dark streets on her own. The area she was currently in wasn’t the safest, and a woman shouldn’t be out and about on her own at this late hour. She knew all of this herself when deciding to walk through here. However, she just had to.‘For some reason, I just can’t feel happy about my decision? I miss the kids too much.’ Suzan thought. ‘What's the point of having all of this money… if I don’t feel happy?’The reason she was out and about this late was because she was heading to the location of where the kids had moved to. Suzan had promised herself that she wouldn’t. The caretaker knew that
If the strange men working at the warehouse were doing something strange, then Kevin had to find out what it was before he could tell anyone about it. The young teenager understood that the police wouldn’t exactly act just because an orphan told them that he was scared in his new surroundings. The police in a Tier-3 town like Slough were usually busy, so they couldn’t just answer any call, especially a kid’s.The good news was, that at least they were seemingly taking out a few orphans at a time, for whatever purposes they had. This made Kevin believe that time was on his side. Time to figure out what was going on… or if all of it was just his imagination running wild.Thinking about this, Kevin went
Before Kevin had a chance to explain the full extent of what had happened to him and the other orphans, he decided to move away from the warehouse. Suzan seemed to understand that something was wrong, and noticing that he seemed exhausted from running, the woman took off her coat and handed it over to the young teenager. She led him to the main street and they hid between a few shops that were closed at this time.Kevin found it very hard to confess to Suzan what had happened inside the warehouse. After all, he blamed himself. Nevertheless, under some sobs he retold everything that he had seen, and immediately Suzan fell on her knees, banging against the concrete, not caring about the pain.“I’m
