While walking with Samuel towards the briefing area, I got back together with my friends who also followed.

"The moment you boys stepped in this place you came with intentions to help us stop this monster." Samuel began. "Thanks to Darren's intel and new power I can brief the other Squads."

"Other squads?" I questioned.

"As you know we have been against a grave threat." Samuel explained. "You guys aren't the only ones who can fight against such an enemy. We have people who dabble in other sorts of power and with them I have created squads who help with my research and try to stop the murders going about." He raised his bony finger and started listing them off. "Alpha, is the first, Beta the second, and so on will be Gamma, Delta, Epsilon, Zeta and Eta. You boys will be the eighth squad, Theta."

"Sounds cool." Japheth smiled excitedly. 

"Yea it does." Chris agreed. 

"You named them after the Greek Alphabet?" Joshua asked.

"Quite a wise young man." Samuel gave Joshua a nod of approval.

We all entered an auditorium, surrounding us were many faces of the squads. Samuel went to the center and cleared his throat.

"From now on this will be the eighth squad, Theta." He introduced us one by one. There were some eyes of excitement, some of exhaustion and others of curiosity.

"Hey what's with that guy over there?" Chris tilted his head to the right. We all turned to see the blank expression of a blind person. Their pupil less eyes reflected nothing at all, it felt like seeing into a mirror.

"No idea." Japheth glared. "But it feels like they aren't right in the head."

"Now my leaders introduce yourselves." Samuel called out.

Seven people jumped down from the second floor above our heads. Three men and four women. Only one I knew and that was Cleondra.

"I am the leader of Alpha squad." She smiled. "Cleondra Simmons"

Another woman walked forward, she was the shortest of the group. Her hair was short but still moved freely with her jitter like nature. She smiled brightly at Chris and then turned to the rest of us.

"Aria of Beta Squad." She chuckled.

The light to my right was suddenly taken away by a large shadow, when I looked up a large man had become my main view. His face was like a toddler's own.

"I'm Isaac." He said through a cheerful grin while pointing at himself. "And uh... I'm in Gamma Squad."

Another male came forward, he chewed loudly on a piece of gum that was probably there before this meeting. His sharp eyes scanned me and then went to Samuel.

"These the new guys?" He yawned. "So I can go back to sleep now right?"

"Don't be rude, Andrew!" The next female who looked like him sent a punch into his head. "I'm sorry for my brother." She brushed back her dark hair and sent a hand towards me for a handshake. "I'm Alex." She smiled. "He's with Delta and I'm Epsilon."

I took her hand.

"Darren." I smiled.

Two void eyes came closer to Joshua. It was the guy from earlier, but really it was a woman. She kept staring until Joshua asked what's the matter.

"Just remembering you guys by smell." She chuckled oddly and walked back. "Captain of the Zeta squad, Misery."

We all noticed the last one didn't want to say anything at all.
