Drake was taken to a secure military base camp. He was unmercifully thrown into a cell. It had a bed with one scratchy blanket and a toilet. Nothing else. Drake even found a tooth in the blanket. Score for him.
He was scheduled to have an inspection of his whip any minute now. Soon two brave, but stupid, guards will come and unlock his door. Drake planned to attack them. Even if he got caught again, what could they possibly do to Drake? For some reason, Drake stopped turning into Brittney.
It's a shame, he thought. I was starting to warm up to her. Not.
Now Drake had no weaknesses! Except if he actually thought about it, Drake wondered if he was still unkillable, now that Brittney wasn't a part of him anymore. Drake didn't care. As long as he had his whip and a gun, he was unstoppable.
Drake heard footsteps. He smiled his shark grin.
Excellent. Fresh blood.
Two guards opened the cell door. They were heavily armed with machine guns. Drake was itching to hold those guns and shoot everyone in sight.
"Monster Kid, it's time for your whip's doctor appointment," one of the guards snickered.
Drake just grinned at him. The guards backed up. Even adults knew that this kid meant trouble.
It was too late for the two prison guards. Drake uncoiled his whip and snapped it across one of the guard's face. He started screaming, and Drake started laughing. Drake wrapped his whip around the other guard who was petrified.
Drake smiled his shark grin once more. Too bad that was the last thing the two guards saw.
It didn't take long for Drake to work his way out of the prison in the lowest level of the base camp. Now that Drake had a machine gun, he was invincible. Drake strut into the room you first walk into. No one tried to stop him, after seeing the trail of dead bodies he left behind him. Drake thought it was too easy, but he didn't mind. He wasn't one for conspiracy theories. Drake thought he just caught the guards off guard. Drake grinned at his pun.
Drake waltzed out of the base camp. The alarms started going off.
It's about time, Drake thought with a sadistic grin.
He hopped into the nearest car, which surprisingly had its keys in the ignition.
Idiots, Drake snorted. It's like they wanted me to escape.
Guards and soldiers came rushing out of the building, holding guns and tranquilizers. They started shouting at Drake to stop. Drake was surprised they actually expected him to stop. He started the engine and peeled out of the parking lot, making sure to hit a few troops. Drake grinned and gave the rest the middle finger as he drove away.
Drake planned to give two certain girls a special visit...
Katie was an intern for the CIA. She was the youngest intern for the CIA in it's history, to be specific. Only 15 years old. She skipped a few grades.
Katie was assigned to work with some professionals on a new top secret case- Case 43. Someone created a fake "CIA." It was a group of people who claimed they were the real CIA. So far, there was no information on who is in it. They have been very careful to cover their tracks. No one in the real CIA knew how it happened. The public didn't know yet, thank God.
"The latest information we have of Case 43 is that their leader goes by the name of 'the General,'" Dr. Andrew Reynolds drawled on in his monotone voice. Dr. Reynolds was the head of Case 43, and he was very thorough with new information. Katie brought in four cups of coffee just for her in preparation for this meeting. She had to stay awake because Dr. Reynolds was considered a genius, so practically everything he said was important.
"It seems like the General has Dr. Weigman working for him, plus several hundred soldiers. We have no records of these soldiers, which is odd. But, some of you may remember Dr. Weigman," Dr. Reynolds continued. Some CIA agents around the table nodded their heads and chuckled at the mention of Dr. Weigman. Katie never met him personally, but she heard stories. They weren't good stories.
Dr. Weigman was known as a crazy, mad scientists ever since the Anomaly happened. He said that an alien species was part of the meteor that hit the power plant thirteen years ago, and it must have mixed with human DNA to create a powerful, radioactive monster. He also said the radiation leaked into the food and water the children used and cause the mutations.
Everyone shrugged off his crazy conspiracy theories.
Dr. Weigman then came up with a horrifying idea. He designed the blueprints of a machine that could extract a quality out of a human and inject it into a new human. The only problem was the human that was used to take a quality from had a 99% chance of death.
Dr. Weigman planned to use it on the children from the Anomaly to get their powers, if they ever escaped.
Dr. Reynolds soon learned about this, and to give Dr. Weigman the benefit of the doubt, Dr. Reynolds said the scientist must be growing senile and fired him. The other option was to believe Dr. Weigman was a mentally unstable, power-hungry sadist.
Dr. Weigman wasn't heard from after that.
"We also think the General has hold of ten of the Perdido Beach Anomaly Kids. Seven of them having a mutant power," Dr. Reynolds continued grimly. He shuffled papers as the new information sunk in to the members of Case 43.
"Do you think Dr. Weigman built what he was planning on building here?" Katie asked quietly.
"We just have to hope he didn't," Dr. Reynolds replied.
Or hope those kids can escape, Katie thought to herself. She was amazed at what the had been through. No parents for months, yet they still survived. She was the same age as some of the Anomaly kids, yet she couldn't imagine how she would react in a situation like that. Katie would have been part of the Anomaly because she lived in Perdido Beach. But she was applying for her internship at the time.
"Now, I want-" Dr. Reynolds started before a siren cut him off.
CODE RED! CODE RED! PRISONER ESCAPE! The voice blared as red lights flashed.
Everyone in the room said a few well-selected words almost simultaneously as they rushed out the door.
