Day 2
It's eight o'clock. A crowd of commanding officers along with my father, Vlad, and I gathered in the briefing room. A projector listed different bits of information and a large map was placed on the center table.
Dad handed me a folder with 'Project 115' printed on it in huge letters.I opened up the folder and started to go through it. I was disturbed by the fact that element 115 was getting involved in my life again.
Dad explained to Vlad and I that this person was a high value target and he must come back alive. He described the target's appearance to be a man in a ghillie suit. In fact, he was only known as Ghillie. He was of Scottish origin and served in the Royal Guard. Ghillie went rogue and disbanded from the military. After that he had worked as a mercenary or soldier for hire.
"Why does this include us?" I raised my voice. "You know what I've had to deal with in the past! Why can't you send somebody else?"
"Because Ghillie knew your father and he was the first experiment of his2 that was exposed to element 115." He snapped back. The whole room fell silent.
I had no clue what to say.
"Ghillie isn't exactly stable. He mumbles to himself and often goes on rampages. That's what we need you for, Samantha." He paused. "You have the power to fight him off so he doesn't jeapordize your squad's lives."
"You want to pit me against another freak?" I asked.
"You're no freak. You're gifted." Vlad stated, placing a hand on my shoulder. Everyone else in the room nodded or gave me agreeable looks.
Dad suddenly announced, "This meeting is dismissed. Everyone return to their respective posts. Samantha and Vladimir, prepare for the days ahead."
