Greg, Sean, Toby and the other three people entered what Greg now saw to be a warehouse. To be honest Greg was not expecting this. He had been more prepared for an abandoned apartment building or even a pounding nightclub but instead he was met with this: a regular old abandoned warehouse.

Sean noticed Greg's slightly disappointed look and shook his head.

"We couldn't find an underground layer that was cheap enough and had the right accommodations like a secret passage through the sewers and our own signal beacon" all of the guys laughed at Sean's joke.

"Sorry I just thought your 'sanctum' would be a little more sanctumy" Greg replied, embarrassed at the joke at his own expense.

"Don't worry the inside will probably be more to your liking" Sean swung his arm around Greg's shoulder in a friend like manner but Greg couldn't help but feel it was more to keep sure that he couldn't run off.

They walked over to the door and just as Sean was about to open the door it opened on its own and revealed a woman in her early twenties wearing black skinny jeans, a light blue tank top and black CONVERES.

"You guys are late" she said in a snippy tone with her hands on her hips.

"We know but Greg had a little trouble taking our exit out of the hospital" Sean explained.

The woman shook her head and gestured the men inside. Once they were inside she double bolted and locked the door then punched in a security code.

"He's waiting in his office and I would advise hurrying, you know how he gets when he's kept waiting" she walked off and she strutted away she took her time checking Greg out and she must have found something she liked because she shook her head and said

"Shame you don't bat for my team"

Greg stood with his mouth agape and watched the girl walk off until he could no longer see her.

"That's Kory and even if you were straight you wouldn't stand a chance, she flirts with everyone" Sean tapped Greg's mouth closed and Greg looked away from where Kory once stood and turned to Sean.

"Even if I was straight, as you so delicately put it, she wouldn't really do anything for me because I can tell straight off that that girl is a bitch and I do not date bitches" Greg informed him with a smile plastered on his face.

After a few seconds of silence Sean spoke again.

"Francis, Milo, Josh you can all go back to doing your respective jobs. Toby and I will escort Greg to the boss' office" the three men walked off and Greg found himself being steered over to an old metal staircase

As Greg was led up the stairs he took the time to look below and check out what the inside of the 'sanctum' looked like. From what he could see there was a mat area where people could workout and by the looks of an arena.

Two men were circling each other while a small group of three people were circled around the mat cheering the men. There was also a computer area where people were stationed at computers working feverishly. But what really caught his eye was the shooting range. Men and one or two woman were putting artillery together and shooting at a target in an expert manner.

"You'll start your training as soon as your gene is stabilized" Sean informed him.

"Training? What training?" asked Greg, looking away from the bustling going on downstairs.

"Of course, in order to survive in our world your going to have to know how to defend yourself, especially when you may not have time to use your power" Sean replied.

When they reached a door that Greg presumed lead into his father's office he Sean knocked on the door and Greg heard his father tell them to come in.

Greg, Sean and Toby entered the office and he took a moment to look around the office. There was a lone filing cabinet pressed up against the far right wall, a ruby colored rug that disturbingly reminded him of blood, a big picture of the California sunset that was hanging on the wall and seated behind a sleek mahogany desk in a leather armchair was his father wearing a crisp business suit.

"Take a seat son" George said, gesturing to one of the two chairs in front of his desk. Greg walk over tot eh closest chair and sat down.

"You can leave now Sean, Toby, we will discuss your tardiness later. I wish to speak to Greg in private" Sean and Toby reluctantly left and closed the door behind them.

"I know you haven't been here that long but what do you think of the sanctum?" George asked, clasping his hands together on his desk.

"From what I've seen it looks like some kind of training facility. Sean told me that when my gene was stabilized my training would began, he explained to me that if I wanted to survive in this world I would need to know how to defend myself in case I can't shift. What kind of world have I entered dad? I know you guys have murdered but what else are you involved in?" Greg asked, dying for answers.

"I guess you could call this a training facility for shifters. Shifters have very many enemies, mainly government. If the government were to get a hold of one of us we want to ensure that we are able to defend ourselves if we are unable to use our gifts" George explained.

For some reason Greg felt the need to ask a question that had been nagging at him for a long time.

"What proof do you have that Tina was the mole? So far the only evidence I've seen has been a wall painted with numbers and that could have been planted" Greg stopped talking and he sat in shock that he had so willingly given up confidential case information.

"Ah I should have warned you, shifting is not the only ability I have acquired. A miniscule amount of shifters have developed other abilities. Mine for instance is what you may call mind manipulation" and to demonstrate he put on a concentration face.

Greg suddenly felt a pressure building up in his head he gripped the edges of his chair until his knuckles turned white. His head felt like someone was playing tug-a-war with his brain.

"What are you doing?" Greg asked through gritted teeth, with a pain-laced voice.

"Reaching into your memories to see what you saw" Greg calmly explained as if he wasn't turning Greg's brain into mush.

The pain increased due to George digging even deeper into his memories. While George was doing this Greg could actually say he saw his life flashing before his eyes. Memories of him growing up, graduation from college, first day at the crime lab and finally the day he met Nick and felt love at first sight.

He could feel the blood dribbling down his lips and chin from his nose that had begun to bleed.

"Almost there" George muttered.

The images began to slow down until it stopped on a memory that Greg was surprised had been buried so deep. The memory was of the inside of Tina's apartment, but more importantly it was the numbers on the wall that George was currently observing.

"Looks like Tina's been very busy, I'm surprised we didn't find this" George said to himself.

Greg slumped down in his chair and dabbed at his nose with his hand, breathing heavily. George noticed the blood on Greg's hand and face and pushed a box of tissues over to him.

"My ability has been known to cause nose bleeds and headaches from the intrusion my prying does" Greg wanted to snatch a few tissues out of the box but his father's intrusion into his brain prevented him from doing so.

George kept track of the evidence his son and Nick had taken and just as he was about to release Greg from his control another memory came to the front of Greg's mind. It was the moment after Nick had accidentally ripped Greg's sleeve off and revealed his shifter tattoo. It was then that Greg was finally released from his father's hold.

As soon as Greg felt the pressure from his head leave he breathed in relief and leaned forward to grab a handful of tissues. He wiped the blood off his chin and hand then pressed the tissue against his nose to stop the blood flow.

"Damn it dad! What the hell was that for?" Greg grunted.

"We're going to have to retrieve the evidence that you and Nick collected. We can't afford for them to find anything that will lead them to us" George said.

Greg lowered the tissues and looked at his father in confusion.

"You mean your going to steal them? They have top of the line security system not to mention there's hardly a time when someone isn't at the lab," Greg informed him, hoping his father would see how dumb his plan was.

"I'm surprised you didn't mention that it was a crime, seems you've finally accepted your new life" George applauded his son.

"I haven't accepted it, nor will I ever I just don't want you or any of your men to do this" George rose from his chair and walked over to stand next to Greg.

"No will get caught if that's what your worried about because we have you now" George said with a gleam in his eyes.

Greg went through a millisecond of confusion before he realized why his father was so at ease with is plan.

"You know where all the security surveillances are so you can tell us where they are and we'll either avoid them or disable them," George said excitedly.

Greg wanted to lie and tell him he had no clue where the surveillances were or how it worked but he knew that his dad would see through the lie. He had been there the day the new security system had been installed and Archie was practically drooling over the new advanced technology. Telling Greg in great detail of how it all worked and functioned. He had surprisingly been able to remember all that was told to him.

"Even if I could get you in there and past security there's still the problem of nightshift/dayshift being there and its most likely that the evidence had all ready been processed" Greg took the tissues away from his nose when he noticed his nose was no longer bleeding and threw the tissues away.

His father leaned over his desk and picked up a pad of paper and pen then handed the items to Greg.

"Write down all your team members nightly schedules, that way we'll be able to avoid them" George explained.

"What about dayshift? Greg asked, still unsure.

"They're dayshift Gregory meaning that they're shifts don't start until DAYTIME and we are going to be going at night so I don't think we'll have to worry about them" Said George confidentially as he sat back down in his chair.

Greg licked his dry lips, looked down at the paper then back at his father.

"But if you have the ability to control minds why don't you use your ability to have one of the people working at the lab to just give you the evidence" Greg questioned.

George looked thoughtful for a moment before shaking his head.

"That is a very good idea but I'm afraid I can only do so much. I am still fairly new to new this ability so I have not yet gone that extent otherwise I would" George replied.

Greg reluctantly picked up the pen and hesitated on whether or not to lie about the team's times but thought better of it and wrote down the correct times. When the times were written down he had handed the pen and paper back to his father and sat back in his chair.

"So when is this thing going down?" Greg asked curiously although still a little uneasy that his father and him were talking about robbing his own work place.

"Tonight"

"Tonight?! You only just found out about all the security systems how could we possibly pull this off tonight?" Greg protested.

"We don't have a choice Gregory as you said before they may have all ready processed the evidence and if that is the case we have to get the evidence away from them so that they can't link it back to us" George stood up from his chair and walked over to the door. He opened the door and standing on the other side was Sean and Korey.

"Take Greg to his room and give him some new clothes. I want him to be as comfortable as possible during his stay" George instructed.

Greg stood up from his chair and walked to the door, before he left the room he turned to his father.

"I just want you to know that I don't agree with anything that your doing and that as soon as the opportunity comes I'm going to stop you" he told him with nothing but dead seriousness in his voice and face.

"I would expect nothing less. I will talk to you later son" George walked back to his desk and sat down.

Korey grabbed Greg's arm and led him out of the room. Sean closed the door quietly behind them and they descended the stairs.
