[i]We need to talk, when are you free?[/i]

That was the message Anya had sent Marcus. Instead of turning him in to Liberty as ordered, she would propose he work for her. Her superiors would be pleased at the fact that she acquired another Altered to help their cause, pending Marcus’ approval of her proposal, of course. As for Jonah, well, he would have to live with the fact that Marcus was unable to be captured. But that mess could be handled down the line.

An hour or so later, Anya quietly entered her target’s home, watching him through his own camera in the kitchen. The middle-aged scientist could not anticipate the gloved hand that suddenly covered his mouth while Anya simultaneously injected a clear liquid into the side of his neck. Dr. Scott’s initial reaction was one typically expected of an individual in such position: a lot of thrashing around in panic while struggling to free himself from her grasp. He was older than Anya, but his strength remained. Dr. Scott pushed back against his attacker, making Anya crash into the wall. She never let go of him, despite nearly having the wind knocked out of her. However, a sudden surprise elbow to her stomach made her finally release him.

“What have you done to me?” Dr. Scott clasped his neck, creating some distance between himself and the agent before turning to face her. Anya stood up straight, angered by the blow she’d received. She ignored his question and kept her eyes on him, waiting. At that point, Dr. Scott took it upon himself to rush at her, but he failed miserably as his legs suddenly gave out. Anya sidestepped to avoid having the man fall on her. She then knelt down to check to make sure he was unconscious, and she phoned her contact after the fact.

“It’s done.”

The sudden screams made Michele look up. They were coming from around the corner, and the young woman ran up to the end of the block to try to see what was going on. When she turned the corner, she was met with a gruesomely horrific sight. One of those checkpoints that had been the topic of hot debate immediately following the announcement had been attacked. From a distance, Michele saw the bodies on the ground. She also made out an individual who appeared calm despite the chaos surrounding them. Had they been the one responsible? Michele assumed such was the case.

The young woman hurriedly walked the perimeter to attempt to get a closer look. It appeared members of the National Guard had been burned alive, an act that would inarguably make the lives of the Altered like herself worse than it already was. Michele attempted to get a closer look while pulling out her phone with the intent to call for help.
