OK , please don't hate me fellow reviewers I am not teasing you by prolonging them meeting. Lol Just thought you would like to know more bout this bird woman. Anyways this is a flashback on how she came to Seattle and bcuz I"m such a nice person there shall be not one but 2 chapters put up today. Clap! Clap you ppl!

"Do you have everything?"

"Yes, for the last time!" I teased my sister.

She sighed, her blue eyes searching my face. I knew she was worried about the job I had accepted in Seattle. Going to work for a company we haven't heard of and going alone in her book was dangerous. But the company was going to provided a place for me to live and other essentials. And I think she was a little bit worried that I would get robbed or something since Seattle became really popular after 'The Pulse'. I wasn't to worried.

The company I would be working for was called Threshold. A small company that helped find missing people. Thats' what a family friend told me, she had signed me up since I was looking for a job. The head honcho contacted me and said I was a perfect candidate.

He even told me my first case. And ironically enough it was on a guy I used to know. Tyler. He disappeared about six months ago, leaving Ogden at 18 and I never heard from him. I just assumed he got a great job and got married. But my boss said the parents are worried for him and want me to find him.

I was happy to do it and quite frankly happy to be leaving home. No more abuse from my father. I finally got a job so everybody can finally get off my back about not having one. The only thing I worried about was Jesse, my sister.

"Aeryn be safe okay?" my sister pleaded.

Hugging her goodbye I promised I would be safe and hat I would write every week. Hopping into my 2005 dark blue Volkswagen I drove off, leaving my sister hugging herself, behind. Turing up the radio I swallowed my tears. Running my fingers through my one inch spikes I thought, This is my big brake, I can't mess it up.

Five hours later I was halfway through Idaho. Laughing at how much it looked the same, even though most of the world was falling apart. Specially the big cities. In October of 2006 the Internet crashed around th whole world. Making everyone lose everything.

Now anyone who's watched Dark Angel knows why we call it 'The Pulse.' A kind of dedication to the show of predicting what would happen. Only different year all together. Its ironic really. Only in our case no one knows why the Internet crashed. People tried blaming terrorists but theres no real answer to why it happened. A few people even think it was a virus of Y2K proportions. Personally I don't care, I'm happy to be alive.

24 hours later I was in Seattle, past the sector points and looking for the Threshold building. It was actually out of Seattle a little ways but close enough that you could see the city. The building was more jail looking then anything else, grey stone with windows up high. The thought of Manticore crossed my mind and I laughed, that would just be to funny for words.

Passing a guard I flashed him a badge that was sent to me before I left. Nodding me through I walked into the building. Inside, the floors were of a dark colored stone, and the walls a grey sandstone. A desk lay before me where a woman sat looking at me.

"You must be Aeryn Matheson?"

"Yea, first day here." I replied.

She nodded and left me to look around some more as she typed something into the computer.

"Alright, Doctor Jacobson will be down with you in a moment, you can sit down over there." She pointed me towards a dimly lit room across from her desk where hard seats were placed.

"Thanks." I said, suddenly feeling like something was wrong.

Sitting down I wondered what Jesse was doing, if I had said goodbye to my cat, or if I had locked my car. And why was my boss called Dr. Jacobson? A voice snapped me out of my thoughts and I looked up. A man in his early 50's at most stood before me. He had dark gray hair and a look of fake happiness on his face. The feeling of wrong welled up in me and I wondered if I could get out of this.

"Aeryn correct? I'm Dr. Jacobson, I"m so happy to see you." He said, his voice thick with comfort. As if he was trying to calm down a scared animal. He held out a hand.

"Good afternoon." I replied taking his hand and shaking it.

"Well come along, I'll show you around the company and what we do here. Then we can get started."

Standing up I followed him to two brown swinging doors and walked in. I blinked several times at the brightly lit hall. It reminded me of a hospital or an ER like what you see on T.V. I faintly listened to Dr. Jacobson as I we walked past rooms and I tried peering inside. I couldn't never see anything though.

"As you might know, we search for missing people. But do you know what makes us different?"

We had stopped in front of a door, and he was facing me waiting for me to answer. I thought about it, wondering if I had missed something during our conversation. A guy in faded blue shirt and black pants came out of the room we were standing in front of and smiled at me. His dark eyes lighting up as he looked me up and down. Watch out for him I thought

"Uh no. Sorry. To tell the truth this is the first I have ever heard of you guys."

Both men smiled at me and Dr. Jacobson put a hand on my back saying, "Well we will have to change that won't we?"

I gave a weak laugh as he motioned me into the room. My spine tingled, as he opened the door and I half expected some gross thing to leap out and kill us. Instead the room was a small office, white walls and wood floors. The desk was in the middle of the room with small cupboards lining the bottom of the rest of the room.

Dr. Jacobson walked past me and sat down at the desk. Motioning me to sit, he tapped something onto the computer. The other guy stood behind me. I felt like I was on trail or being judged.

"Let me tell you a little more about our company. Threshold is different than other companies because we don't use computers to find missing people we use special people to find them."

Oooookay. I thought wondering where he was going with this. Folding his hands he faced me and an evil smile spread across his face. My heart sped up.

"You are now going to be one of those special people. Welcome aboard Aeryn."

"Wh-?" I started and felt something slide into my neck. Immediately I felt drowsy and the feeling of a headache started.

I couldn't speak and Dr. Jacobson's words were drawn out. "Get her to the operation room immediately. We have to get her started, and damn it all to hell make sure you do this one correctly! We have to find him."
