Corruption

I hate the people in this chapter

Chapter 11

"Everything is falling apart according to plan." The regal woman stood in front of her superiors, a devilish glint in her steel gray eyes.

"Ryker Apex was able to escape from Syndicate along with the help of Petra Thea Virago. She used her powers over chaos while he used his control over electricity. Needless to say, Syndicate is crippled from the destruction of their biggest prison. Prisoners escaped and have caused havoc as payback to Syndicate. Few have been apprehended. As for Theo Sonders, he escaped along with his mentor and Jasper R. Olchi and Edward Tarrant. Sonders was provoking Apex, causing the rage and power necessary to overpower his restraints and escape."

The board nodded at the dark blonde haired woman. Her upturned nose was powdered as well as her cheeks. Her thin lips were stained a dark purple, matching her eye shadow.

"So it is going according to plans? Do they hold the key for an Abnormal army?" This was directed at the male next to the woman. His light brown hair was combed neatly back to the nape of his neck. There was a look in his eyes that could send a shiver down a murderer's spine.

"Yes sir, we believe that they hold the secret to immeasurable power. Both don't realize all they can do, once they unlock their true potential, they will be an unstoppable pair." His voice was rich and full, one that called attention to himself immediately.

The board looked deep in thought as they gazed at the pair in pristine lab coats. The woman stood a half head smaller than her male counterpart. Both had steely eyes, only differing in color. Their expressions were grim but had a slight confidence at their data.

"When will you bring them in? Is the rebel group also to be brought in with their leader?" A stoic woman asked, her mouse face focused on the data sheets in front of her. Two pictures were of the boys. Sonders was from his Syndicate badge, clearly showing every inch of his face. Apex's was darker, barely showing his face. Despite Syndicate taking a picture, it seemed as if all cameras didn't want to capture him.

"Only a few of the powerful ones. We will take in Petra Virago, Lucas 'Luke' Kerro, Leone 'Lee' Orchid, Kesha 'Keet' Fallon, Achaz 'Pyro' McCaedwalla, Cheshire 'Chessie' Saeger, Waylon 'West' Chamness, George 'Manny' Sanchez, Korv 'Kiko' Ra'ad, and Penelope Apex. All show tremendous power and mental mindset. Penelope Apex is simply to keep her brother in line." The woman passed out folders of each subject with a picture on the front.

"When will we acquire the subjects?" An elderly gentleman with a snowy beard asked. He was going over the blind brunette's folder with a deep interest.

"We believe that opportune time to acquire the subjects is in a few months. After there is more tension forcing them to show their true potential." The man gave his counterpart a quick smile before turning to gaze at his superiors once again.

One woman with the temper of a viper spoke up, her vermilion lips pulled taunt into a scowl. "I do not see what is so special about these... children. What makes them so special as to go to such lengths to get them. We will be spending quite a bit of money just to extract the few that we actually need. We don't even fully know the rest of their power. What if they fight back?"

The pair glanced to each other, finding annoyance at the woman who closely resembled a stick. The scientist pulled out a transparent holopad from her lab coat and set to work tapping away. Her male partner straightened his dress shirt before addressing his superiors.
