"So, we just sit and wait until you see him do something?" I asked, leaning my chair back against the wall. "Yep." He said, taking a sip of his milkshake and looked out and the people passing us. "What makes you think he's at the mall?" I asked. "He's a 21 year old guy with a sick, sick mind." He said, leaning back in his chair and put his hat on. "So what's the plan? Look suspicious so people think we're robbers?" I asked. He looked at me and I raised a eyebrow. He sighed and took the hat off, crossing his arms. "What do you mean he is sick?" I asked. He looked at me, then reached into his jacket and threw a folder at me.
"His name is Eric Gordy. He was a Serial Killer before he got his power. When he did get it, he was able to do as he pleased without getting caught." I looked over the file, seeing that his power was to seduce anyone, and make them slaves. I looked at his picture, tilting my head. He had slicked back, black hair, bright blue eyes and a look about him that told me he knew what he was doing.
"So, what's the plan?" I asked. "Find him. Wait until he is alone. Kill him." He said, sighing some as if this was everyday stuff…Wait.
"It's a mall. He's never going to be alone." I said. He looked at me. "Look. We both know I'm the practical thinker here." He gave me a blank look and I smiled. "Look. Why don't I find him, lure him down a dark ally, and then you kill him?" I said. His face became serious then. "No." I rolled my eyes. "You forget I'm immune to other peoples power." I said. He leaned forward, rested his arms on the table. "Then how did Atticus get into you're mind? Or how my father was able to use his powers on you?" I looked away at that, thinking. "You lost that ability when I gave you the shot." I blinked some, looking at him. "I can still go after him a lot easier then you." He glared at me. "I'm not going to let you near that monster." I laughed some, looking at him.
"People call me one, but only because I kill other people who deserve death. Him. He takes innocent lives. Young girls. Seduces them. Tortures them. Make them cry out. Kills them off slowly to prove he's a man." he looked deep into my eyes. "I will not risk it." I put my chair down and leaned on the table as well. "Do you want his power, or want him dead? 'Cause it sounds to me big, bad Sylar is out for blood." His eye twitched and I smiled, sitting back in my chair and crossing my arms. "I'm not letting you go near him."
*Sylar's POV*
I scanned the crowds as Jinx and I sat at the same table for the past two hours. She was now playing with some French fries, looking bored out of her mind. "Why don't you go back to the apartment or something?" I asked. "It's boring there too." She muttered and I rolled my eyes. Her stomach growled and I looked at her, noticing how the dark circles under her eyes were really dark. "I thought you said you ate?" I asked. She smiled innocently. I sighed an was about to call the waiter when she grabbed my arm. "You have to eat." I said. She bit her lip. "I don't like eating in front of people. Just give me a ten and I'll go get some beef jerky or something. Just to tide me over until we can get home." I couldn't help but smile when she said home.
I sighed and pulled out a ten, giving it to her. "Be back in 15 or I'll come looking for you." I said. She smiled that smile that made me want to kiss her and kill her at the same time. "See you in 20 then." She got up and walked past me. I watched her merge with the crowd, not blending in completely.
"That look on your face is kinda pathetic." I turned to see Atticus sitting where Jinx was, munching on some French fries. I inhaled some, looking back out to the crowed. "Here for a chat or free food?" I asked. "Both." He said, reaching over and grabbing my soda, drinking it. I turned my chair to face him, crossing my arms. "Well, let's chat then." I said. He smiled.
"Why do you think I'm here?" He asked. "To annoy me?" I said, raising a eyebrow. "Oh I forgot how witty you were." He said, putting a elbow on the table. "As much fun as it is to play with you, not this time." He looked away some. "Speaking of time." He muttered, then looked at me. "Look. I really mustn't be here. God, this sucks. " He put a hand over his head. I tilted my head, looking at him. He sighed and looked at me with those same black eyes that I have. Murderous. Unforgiving.
"You need to go and get Jinx right now." I furred my brows. "I need you to use that thick skull of yours and think!" I just stared at him, twitching my fingers. "This could seriously mess up time/space warp…thing. I haven't a clue." I smirked. "Hiro?" He sighed. "Yeah. Anyway." he growled, making me laugh. Last time I ran into Hiro is when he transported me and Elle onto that beach where I killed her. Good times.
"Let's do this together, shall we?" He leaned forward, looking around a bit. "There's a stark raving lunatic with abilities roaming around in this mall." I nodded. "You know what he's looking for." My eye twitched. "He's after someone that catches his attention." He raised his eyebrow. "We both know what attracts men with abilities." I stared at him, jaw clenched. "He'll come after her." He said. I glared. "He wouldn't touch her." I growled. Atticus laughed. "We like 'em strong, un-afraid and beautiful. That's what get's our attention." I wanted to rip his throat out with my bare hands. Feel his blood on my hands. His power to be mine. To see how it worked. Tick. Tick. Tick.
"Jinx. She's strong. She laughs at men like us instead of fearing like she should. She's beautiful. Pure, raw beauty. Exotic and luring, a power she not knows yet." I looked down. "Yeah. Thought you knew about that. But that's not why I'm here. You just let her walk away alone with that luring power of hers with some whack job running about." I stood then, looking to where she walked too.
*Normal POV*
"Not so tuff now, are ya?" I growled, looking up through my bangs. "I'm not afraid of you." I said, showing him yellow eyes and yanking on the chains. It was kinda annoying that being chained to a wall was starting to get normal. "No. No your not. Not yet." He put a knife to my cheek, running it along softly and ending it by my ear. "I'll break you and that animal." He flicked his wrist and sliced a U shaped cut on my cheek, lifting the blade to his mouth and licking the blood off it.
Boy, I really got into it this time.
