CHAPTER 2

Chloe watches Nina leave but quickly turns her attentions back to the doctor.

"Nina is a good friend of mine, who can be very persuasive when she needs to be and I really hope not have to have to use her special abilities." Rosen says surveying Chloe with his grey eyes.

"Where am I?" Chloe asks staring around the office. Her shin is fizzling and she spots a window top full of potted plants she can feel the soil in the pots and she breathes in.

"Would you not like some water?" he asks ignoring her question, she realises he is doing exactly what she is doing avoiding the questions being asked, this gets her back up. Rosen gets up and heads to the sink.

"What kind of doctor are you?" Chloe asks. Rosen grabs a glass and turns the tap on. Chloe's blood flows faster as soon as she senses the water coming out of the tap. Rosen turns to see her sitting on the couch with her eyes closed. She opens them up and they fall straight on the water.

"You have not had water in a while now." He says advancing with the glass, Chloe's heart is racing now and her brain feels clear and alert. Rosen is stood just in front of her now with the cold glass in his hands. He holds out the glass and Chloe reaches out for it hand shaking slightly. She is about to grab it but he lets the glass slip to the floor and the glass shatters into onto the floor and Rosen laughs. Chloe looks up at him and frown when his eyes are not on her, they are lit up and looking down and he is smiling widely.

"Extraordinary!" he says. Chloe frowns at him and looks where he is looking, the water. The water from the glass is floating midair and moving around. Chloe gasps panicking and the water falls to the floor splashing all over her and Rosen's shoes. Chloe's heart nearly stops and Rosen backs away shaking his head.

"You are extraordinary." He says sitting back on his desk.

"But I didn't..." Chloe stutters.

"Fire and water, is there anything else you can do?" Rosen says Chloe swallows hard.

"I didn't do anything." She says not even convincing herself. Rosen just smiles at her.

"Chloe we both know what you can do. I have seen it first hand, twice now." Chloe frowns at him.

"You were there when I..."

"Caught fire?" Rosen say, "Yes I was."

"Were you also there when they locked me up and pumped me full of drugs?" Chloe asks her anger building.

"Yes I was and I am sorry about that. You were very hard to find and things got out of hand. I am sorry about that." Rosen says looking genuinely sorry, making Chloe relax slightly.

"Why were you trying to find me exactly?" Chloe asks sitting forward in the chair. "I have never done anything to hurt anyone intentionally."

"I know but someone with you specific skill set can be very hard to miss." He pauses and Chloe considers him, "The trick with the house fire."

"It wasn't a trick, the place was burning down. There were people in there. I saved them." Chloe says clenching her fists and shutting her eyes.

"I know Chloe," Rosen says moving towards her and kneeling on the floor in front of her. Chloe opens her eyes and stares at him confused about why he was getting so close, his closeness unnerved her slightly. "I am well aware of what you did for those families. You saved many lives."

"Then why am I being hunted like I am the one to blame for it?" Chloe says lowering her head.

"You are not being hunted."

"Then why am I here!" Chloe says her eyes filling with tears despite herself.

"We wanted to talk to you." Rosen Says sitting back on his legs.

"Could you not have just sent a letter, an email?" Chloe moans wiping her eyes.

"We did try and contact you but you had left your apartment." Chloe looks up at Rosen now a look of disbelief on her face.

"I didn't leave," she says through her teeth, "I WAS CHASED OUT!" she yells rising to her feet. Her body shakes and Rosen scrambles to his feet. Chloe shakes with the familiar fizzle she gets when she loses her temper. Rosen looks around him and his voice remains calm but his eyes have a worried look on them.

"Do you always cause this sort of reaction when you are upset?" he says with an almost satisfied look on his face. Chloe frowns and looks round and sees the water she dropped on the carpet floating around her hands and the soil from all the plant pots rising in five dark columns. She looks back at Rosen and shrugs.

"I have been upset a lot recently." Chloe says the water swirling around her hands. Rosen walks over to the soil and puts his hand in the column and turns to Chloe.

"I understand and I am terribly sorry about how you have been treated but you are safe now."

"Safe?"

"Yes Chloe, safe. Do you see any cuffs or guns?" Chloe looks around herself at the light airy office and all its windows. When she looks into the hall and sees Nina standing there with a group of people who are all looking in at me. There is two women including Nina and three men, she lets everything drop.

"Who are they then?" Chloe says looking them all over. She notices the biggest one and mainly notices his gun. "He has a gun."

"Bill is part of my team he will not harm you." Rosen says.

"Whatever you say," Chloe says but then a memory comes to mind. "Bill? He is the one who was chasing me." Chloe said her blood rushing through her veins the soil rises up again and the tap begins to rattle in the sink. The tap bursts and water pours out swirling around Chloe.

"Chloe, stop." Rosen shouts trying to reach her. Bill bursts through the door and pulls out his gun. "Bill no!" Rosen says as Chloe turns to face bill rage clear in her face. One of the other men dives in behind Chloe and grabs her around the waist and wrestles her to the floor. The water crashes around them and they are soaked.

"Get off me!" Chloe yells. The man pins her hands behind her back and she struggles.

"Relax." He says in her ear. "Nina, can I get a little help here please?" Chloe watches a pair on stiletto shoes walk over to her and her face is pulled to the side, she locks eyes with Nina.

"It's ok Chloe, just relax." Nina says and Chloe instantly relaxed and Hicks lets her go. Chloe lies there and Hicks get up. "Now Chloe I want you to get up and sit come with me." Nina leads Chloe out into their conference room and Bill follows.

"Rachel can you please call a plumber, Cameron could you please turn off the water supply." Rosen says running his hands through his hair.

"What shall I do Dr. Rosen? The office is flooding." Gary says walking back and forth.

"Come with me Gary we are going to talk to Chloe." Rosen says Gary follows and sits down in the seat opposite Chloe.
