Chapter Four:

"Let's see here," I whispered with a smile as I opened up the circuit mainframe box for the large building I was inside of. There were too many guards around and I also wanted to see if they had information on anyone else with abilities. Sylar and I couldn't be the only ones right?

I lifted my hand and felt the surge of electricity as it sparked from my hand. It zapped the mainframe box and the lights flickered as I let the power go out completely. They probably had a generator and would it would quickly boot up. I needed to get out of here quickly.

Wait a minute… what is that? I turned my head as a binder caught my attention. Walking up to it, I opened to the first page. There was a picture of a blonde haired girl and an address was scribbled underneath. I skimmed the page and saw the power description page: manipulates reality. Illusion - Is that they're trying to say? Anyway, I'll think I'll take it.

"Hey you!" I turned my head quickly as a guard stood in the doorway, reaching for his gun. I thrust my hand forward, releasing a fatal electric bolt from my fingers. The man was knocked backwards from the volt and his body quickly caught fire.

I tucked the binder under my sheet and stepped over the burning body of the guy. As two more men ran down the hallway, I lifted my left hand and swung it to the side, my telekinetic powers throwing the men into the walls. I threw my hand forward at them, allowing a fatal blast of electricity to course through my hand and zap the guards. I just smiled and laughed as I continued down the hallway. Anyone who got in my way when die painfully – electricity conducted through their system is a terrible death – a death perfect for an unevolved human.

Finally with the exit in sight, I gave a smile before stepping out into the bright sunlight. No unevolved humans stood in my way of power.

Murder Count: 6

***

This first person's name was Erica Malarino. She was living nearby, a small house in Costa Rica – lucky for me.

I had not come across any company owners and was able to shut down part of a bank while extracting some money. I used that to buy an apartment building. I had set the binder down on the coffee table and sat down to look at some more parts of the binder. The second person was a man called Brian Davis, but a big stamp covered the page. It read "TERMINATED"… as in dead. It said his power was Telekinesis… did Sylar kill him and get his ability?

Anyhow, I think it was time to meet this Erica Malarino. Who knew what she could possibly make me see…

It wasn't long until I was at 56 Redhouse Drive knocking on the crimson framed door. I could hear hustle and bustle inside the building and slowly, the door opened.

"Hello?" a voice asked.

"Are you Erica Malarino?" I asked, trying to look through the crack of the door to see her face.

"Yes," she answered. "Who are you?"

"My name is Gale…" I began. I didn't want to use my last name just in case she was an agent and the book I got was fake. What was a good word for someone who was dishonest and for someone who couldn't be trusted? I know. "..Knave." I finally said with a smile.
