Dr Suresh's lab, New York

"So Maya, tell me a little more about yourself" Mohinder asked the women nursing his bleeding nose.

"Well I come from Venezuela. When my brother Alejandro was married, I found his wife cheating at the wedding. It was then this dark curse came over me and killed all of the guests at the party except me and my brother" Maya tearfully remembered.

"And where is your brother now?"

Maya then broke down into tears, Mohinder tried to comfort her but she clearly felt she must of been to blame.

"It is all my fault. Molly tried looking for him but she told me he was nowhere. He was dead. Had I not got this curse we would never of had to come to America and we would never of met Gabriel, my brother's killer." Maya exclaimed.

"Sylar, or as you call him Gabriel, is a ruthless serial killer. He killed by father simply because he didn't see any signs of abilities. Since then he has murdered numerous gifted people to obtain their abilities. Your lucky you found him when he had contracted the virus otherwise he may of killed you then."

With tears in her eyes, Maya reflected on her personal lucky escape whilst still feeling guilty for her brothers death.

Costa Verde, California

Claire had begun to realise just how much she needed West just now. Not long ago she rejected him after he told her not to go public about their powers. But ever since her dad had disappeared again, he had been her only comfort.

But even so she still felt that he had been wrong. Whoever this company was they had only caused her and her family pain. She had no idea what these people wanted or what part her dad played in it all but she knew that people like West, were being kidnapped and having trials performed on them. People were being treated like guinea pigs by some faceless group.

She was adamant that whoever this company was they had to be exposed and if West didn't like that, then that was a sacrifice she would have to make.

Primatech Research, Hartsdale

Noah Bennet had returned to Primatech Research from Suresh's lab. He had explained the Elle situation to Bob who seemed unconcerned with what he had just been told.

"We can deal with my daughter later, right now we have more pressing issues to deal with." He told Bennet as he handed him a file containing the information of a man called Matt Neuenberg, a 32 year old male with instant recall.

"A few months ago, I told Matt to download the entire list of talented people that this Company knows of to his memory. It was to ensure they could never fall into the wrong hands. However it would appear that someone got to Matt. He disappeared 3 days ago. It is imperative we find him for he is the only person who knows those identities. If he was to talk to anyone, hundreds of lives could be in danger."

As Bennet turned away to head for the door, Bob added,

"If it comes down to any, morally grey areas Mr Bennet, shoot to kill. No one can find out those names."
