Chapter 2: Connections

"Continuing to watch Project X..."
"Project X shows no signs of abnormality..."
I groaned. This was more pointless than a broken pencil.
For seven months now, I have been reading files I had stolen from the School. The files were about Percy, though the whitecoats hadn't known that he was a demigod. Amazingly, the files held almost nothing of importance to me. I kept reading though; Jeff had said something about the files holding info about me and the other Virals.
I wasn't wrong. It was as if thinking about Jeff had provoked his voice. You haven't made it to that part yet.
You don't say. My sarcasm was evident, even in thought. Instead, I get to read all this bull. Yay.
Try looking at the files from two years ago.
Why two years ago? But I obeyed.
The first bunch of pages were boring: mentions of past experiments, stuff like that. It wasn't until "April 18" that I found anything worth reading.
"Dr. Marcus Karsten is to start his research on canine parvovirus today. His goal is to create a cure for a new virus we are creating, making a fortune in the process. Let us hope he does not fail..."
"Oh my gods," I said out loud. "Karsten."
I continued reading.
"April 27:
Success!
Dr. Karsten has completed his research, and is scheduled to begin his experiment soon. We are anxious for his results."
Do you see now? Jeff asked. Everything is connected, Sam: Dr. Karsten creating the virus, Dr. Karsten testing his newly created virus on the wolfdog, you and your friends contracting the disease, your flares, everything.
I was scared to ask, but I did anyways. What about the Eraser finding me, Percy, and Annabeth? Is that connected too?
Yes.
Guess who couldn't sleep that night: me.
