"Who's Matt Parkman?" The woman asked aloud. She briefly scanned over his file, soaking in as much details as she could. She had never heard of him around that station. She might have seen him, but probably never knew who he actually was. And it didn't matter to her. She tucked a loose curl of coffee brown hair behind her ear. "Where is he?" She asked the woman behind the desk.
"He should be through that door." The lady asked, not even looking up. She lazily used her pen to point to the door on the left.
She walked over to the door and pushed it open. There, sitting at the small table was a man. She assumed Matt Parkman. "Matt Parkman?" She inquired. He quickly stood up. He was a tad chubbish with short black hair.
Well, he looks better than some of the losers here.
"Agent Stormm?" He inquired back, one eyebrow raised.
"It's Julianne." She pointed out. "You know," She said, placing the file on the table, "I couldn't help but notice it says here that you can…read minds? Am I correct?"
This should be interesting. Let's hope he's not as a much as a nutcase as his file says he is.
"Correct." He said, giving a small nod.
She smirked. "You know, I'm not very surprised. Considering some of the cases I have had lately." She sighed. She crossed her arms. "I trust you know about the man Gabriel Gray. Of course, he likes to refer to himself as Sylar."
"Yes." Matt said, nodding. "I do."
"Then I don't need to explain to you how he likes to murder his victims. And what is so special about those victims?" She asked.
"I know all about him." Matt informed her.
"Okay." Julianne sighed. "Back to the mind reading problem. I don't entirely believe you, but like I said. Some pretty abnormal things going on lately. Just keep your thoughts to yourself, and let me keep mine to myself." She said.
He gave a brief nod. "I understand."
"Of course you do." Julianne said. "Got your badge? Your gun? Good. We already have a case. It looks like Sylar decided to have another treat. As if all of the powers he has already aren't enough for him." She headed for the door and expected Matt to follow her. Which, he did.
She made her way to the employee's parking lot and found the police car she was looking for. She tossed him the keys as she made her way to the passengers' side. "You're driving." She told him.
She grabbed the handle and opened the door, bending down and sliding in. She closed it behind her as she buckled. By the time she was in, so was Matt. "So. Where to?" He asked her, starting the car.
"3976 Walnut Drive. It's only the Map screen." She told him, pointing to the small screen built into the car. It had a map on it with a red dot on their destination. "Married?" She asked him, five minutes in.
"Yes." He answered.
"Kids?"
"Not yet." He answered her, keeping his eyes on the road. "Are you married?"
"Nope." She answered him.
"Why not?" He asked her.
She looked over at him before looking back out the window. "I'm not the settle down type." She answered. He didn't ask anymore questions the rest of the way.
"We're here." He stated, pulling up on the curb. There was a house, marked off with caution tape. A few officers standing outside. You could see it was busy inside.
Julianne hopped out of the car and made her way over to the caution tape. She lifted it up and walked under it, expecting Matt to follow. She briskly walked inside the small house. The first thing she saw was a man near the dining room table, top off his head missing. But, that wasn't the only thing missing. His brain was missing too.
She felt Matt walk up and stand beside her. "Sickening, isn't? Makes you wonder what was going through Sylar's mind when he did this." She stated.
God, I hope I don't throw up.
She redirected her eyes. She couldn't help but get annoyed when Matt took a step away from her. "Did you read my mind? What did I say?"
"Sorry." Matt said, looking down.
Julianne rolled her eyes. A woman walked up to her and handed her a file. Julianne started flipping through it. "It's amazing. No fingerprints. DNA samples. He must really know what he's doing."
"Well, you know, he does have super powers." Matt pointed out. "That might make him a little above average."
Cute.
"No, Parkman, I didn't realize that." She replied, sarcastically.
