Chapter 6: The girl

"Hello Hanna. I have heard a lot about you." Mr. S said as he walked over to me from behind the desk. He offered his hand out for me to shake which I accepted with my own. "Allow me to give you the grand tour! You are at a secret base of operations for gifted people. People like yourself and Jacob here. We have only found a few people so far, but we expect those numbers to increase soon with our training sessions for the field." He explained as we walked out of his office and through the halls of this "Base of operations". Man, they train people here? Are they government agents? What is all of this? How many people are here? I look at Jacob and back to Mr. S and realize I have said all of this out loud. "Eager are we?" Mr. S said with a megawatt smile. " We are a secret organization that is federally funded. Yes, we train people here and even house them if needed. There are special rooms for each student with abilities so we can monitor their powers and study what they do. There are three students, two male, one female, and I am the only federal agent here." he rattled off like it was common knowledge. "Jacob can show you more from here, i'm afraid I have some business to attend to. It was very nice meeting you, Hanna." He informed. "A pleasure meeting you too sir." I echoed back as he strutted down the hall away. "Lets go to my training room so I can show you my powers." Jacob declared.

We crossed through the room with the girl in the tank again, and I couldn't help but feel like something was wrong with her. "Hey Jacob, are you sure she's okay?" I asked as I walked up to the glass tank holding her. I pressed my hand to the frigid glass and moved so close my forehead was almost touching the glass. I stared at her for an eternity and admired how flawless her skin was, wishing I had her beautiful ivory skin. As I was looking at her I hadn't noticed how her hand had moved so it was now almost touching mine. I looked up from our hands to her face to see her staring at me. I jumped back, away from the strange girl. She stared at me as if no one else was there and Jacob wasn't behind me. She motioned me closer and pressed her hand to the glass. I did the same hesitantly and then everything went white.
