After visiting her for a few minutes the next morning, Sylar walked down to the parking lot of Jodie's apartment complex and got in his car. He sat back for a few minutes to think.
Take it like a man, he told himself. Tell her to her face. "Jodie, I kill people for their powers…" No, are you kidding?
Sylar sighed and started the car.
And I have absolutely no one to talk to about this.
"Perfect," he said aloud in a sarcastic tone. He pulled out of the parking lot and drove to Mohinder's place.
Now Sylar stood over Mohinder as he was typing on his laptop.
"What do you think would happen if Sylar had a girlfriend?" Sylar asked.
"Zane, I doubt that anyone in their right mind would ever date a man like Sylar," Mohinder replied.
Sylar didn't say anything for a few seconds as he soaked in Mohinder's insult.
"Well," Sylar said, continuing. "Let's just say that he did. What would he say to his girlfriend if he wanted to tell her about how he murders innocent people?"
Mohinder stopped what he was doing and turned around to give Sylar a weird look.
"I have no idea," he said. "Why would you want to know something like that?"
"Just curious," Sylar replied. Mohinder turned back around and continued what he was doing on the laptop. Sylar sighed again and looked over to his right and saw a piece of paper. He picked it up and looked at it.
"So this is the list," Sylar said to Mohinder.
"Yes," Mohinder said. "What's left of it. And most of these people are missing or dead."
I'm sure you've seen the rest of what happens here. Mohinder finds out who "Zane" really is and straps him to a chair. Sylar gets loose and attacks Mohinder, then Peter, when he arrives. Mohinder ends up knocking out Sylar and taking Peter to his Mother's house.
Sylar woke up on Mohinder's floor atop of a bunch of junk that was tossed around during all the attacking. He coughed and rolled over to get on his hands and knees. He noticed the smashed laptop not too far away from him.
"The list…" he said to himself and grabbed the first thing he could reach. This happened to be a long piece of wood; probably from the board on wheels that Mohinder knocked him out with. "No!" he said and smashed the laptop even more. "No!"
He threw the wood to the side and noticed a ripped up piece of paper next to the laptop. He picked it up and read what was on it. He had found the information of Isaac Mendez. Sylar got up off the floor and was about to head out the door to find Isaac, when he saw the list he had been holding earlier, still in the spot he had left it. He picked it up, folded it into fourths, and stuck it in his pocket.
Back at Jodie's place, she sat on the couch reading a book Sylar had let her borrow when he had first told her about his telekinesis. It was the book by Chandra Suresh that Sylar had become fond of. Jodie concentrated so hard on reading it that she jumped and fell off the couch when a bird hit the window in her living room.
"Jeeze," she said and set the book down on the coffee table. She got up and walked over to the window. The small, brown bird was lying dead on the window sill. Jodie sighed. "Poor thing," she said and opened the window. She looked at the bird for a few seconds, and then carefully picked it up. She closed her eyes and held it in her hands, as if waiting for something to happen. After a few seconds, the bird started to twitch. She opened her eyes and looked down at the bird. It was alive. It stretched out a wing and sat in her hand as if it couldn't tell what had just happened. When it didn't fly away, she, very gently, cupped it in her hands so it couldn't and closed her eyes again. The bird was struggling to get out of her grip. When it stopped moving, Jodie opened her eyes and looked at the bird. It was dead. Jodie smiled as she concentrated on what she was doing. She wasn't smiling because she had killed the poor bird. She was smiling because she had just proved something about herself, correct. The bird started to twitch again then slowly stood in her hand. It looked at Jodie then flew away.
Jodie laughed. "I knew it," she said.
Thank you for reading this! It's obviously not done but leave reviews and tell me how you like it.
