Special Agent it was not my intention to undermine your investigation,” said the Director giving a somewhat sincere apology, “But due to this being an extremely time sensitive matter you left me with very little choice.”

    “Who the hell are you?” Mark still demanded to know.

    “I’m just like you Special Agent, the good guy,” smiled the Director, “You must have seen the footage already…look around you. This woman is extremely dangerous and you are not equipped to deal with her. I am. She’s my problem now. My advice to you is to finish your investigation here, file your report, and walk away from this case, for your own sake.”

    The Director does not wait for Armitage to tell him to go screw himself as he walked away followed by the doctor who accompanied him and his technicians. Agent Slater waited for the Director to leave the vicinity before him and the agents under his command move in unison creating a protective perimeter around the Director and everyone with them heading all the way to the elevator. Armitage and Mercer forgetting they had guns pointed at them walked out to the hallway with their agents to watch them depart.

    “Gentlemen.” Agent Slater finally lowered his gun along with the rest of his agents, bidding farewell as the elevator door shut.

    Armitage and Mercer headed to the nearest window with a view of the courtyard to see the Director and his party heading to the helicopter they had traveled in.

    Dustin turned to Mark and asked the obvious question: “What the fuck just happened?!”

    “We just got punked.” Mark muttered trying to quell the rage building within so that he could think straight once again.

    “Did we really just let them walk out of here?” returned a dumbfounded Dustin.

    “This place has seen enough mayhem for one day. Something in my gut is also telling me as much as that piece of shit down there is a grade “A” asshole…he’s no bullshit artist. The doctor said they got the samples they needed,” Mark quickly contemplated getting back into his thinking mode, “They just came for the blood. Get the team back in there now, scour this place from top to bottom…blood, skin, hair samples if you can find it I want it…all of it. Call the Houston office; we’re setting up camp there. Grab all of the footage. We’re starting the interviews ASAP. I also want to know who Director Rosen and Agent Slater are by the time I walk out of here. No one points a gun in my face and gets away with it.”

CHAPTER THREE

    She appeared to be running until the breath ran out of her, except she was not losing wind. Her bare footsteps sounded like that of a wild stallion charging across the open plain. Part of her screamed for her to stop realizing how fast she was actually moving, that what she was doing, what she had been doing was inhuman and unnatural. By right medically speaking, her heart should have popped several hundred miles ago, and her leg muscles should have torn off her bones, but the exact opposite was happening. Here she was clocking speeds of almost seventy possibly eighty miles an hour and she had a heart beat as if she was taking a leisure walk while her muscles did not even cramp.

    Fear was the rider that kept her moving; images of what just happened at Mountain View flashed before her eyes forcing her to move faster and faster. She had to get as far as her legs could carry her so that she could sort out what was happening. What she did not realize was at her current speed she had gone extremely far. Her tattered, bloodied, bullet riddled clothes felt like they were going to be tear from her body at the speed she was going. It was then that things also got blurry, superhuman speed did not translate to superhuman eyesight, which would allow her to see in order to maneuver at such break neck speeds as she charged right into a wooden area.

    Logic would dictate stopping at this point, but Sophia trying her best to maneuver around the trees was not
