Chapter 3.
On the other continent called America a new head of the Company was furious still looking at the phone.
"Can you find where it can from?" he stormed near one of the computer workers. The computer center was just several blocks from his office, so that was always the first place to go to. And also the last one, as for the last 3 years computers in the Company became the most important thing – researchers made a brilliant things with those of extraordinary people who would die soon anyway – of age or just because that was their fate – they transmitted their minds and abilities into the computer system which allowed to use their knowledge faster and with more profit. Bt some things were still under construction. They needed to be improved.
"Uhh, no, sir. It was too short I'm afraid." The man replied hurrying to burry his head to his work again.
Nathan was disappointed but as he could do nothing, Claire would remain in the unknown to everyone location. Swearing under the breath, he left to his office. There, a visitor would already wait for him:
"G'morning" a dark haired man said from the chair still remaining unseen by Nathan.
"Who…" was all he said before the stranger turned to face him – it was Syler who now smiled broadly.
"Wouldn't you be glad to meet an old friend?" he asked getting off the chair and looking directly into Nathan's eyes.
There was a pause, like Nathan was still hesitating of what to do. Then, he smiled back giving his guest a hug.
"It's been a long time" Petrelli said, his voice sounding relaxed. "We were all worried. Where were you?" He really did feel worried after the man disappeared, but no one in the world would now know for certain why.
"Here and there" Syler answered moving his hands from one direction to another. "Kept an eye on the children."
"Mind a coffee?" Nathan glanced at the door. "Outside."
"Sure."
As soon as they left the building, the two of Nathan's bodyguards joined them in the street. He looked at them, attentively searching for anything new there. There wasn't, those two were still Anton and Steve. One of them, the one taller, could easily handle any situation on his own, and Nathan remembered that. The guy could just switch the temperature around him from minus 150F to plus 150 F, creating fires or ice without hurting himself.
And the other would create a dark or lighting space for several hundred feet around, like the personal day or night.
This time, they would stay in the facility.
"I don't need you, guys" said Nathan. "I'll be back shortly. Thanks."
He needed his privacy now even more than any time before. So the two of them walked down the street after which they both just… vanished. To appear in the same place just moments later that evening.
But for those moments many things would happen.
