Genesis was never considered the good child of her three siblings. She was always the one who broke the rules--whether on purpose or on accident--or acted on impulse. She stole from markets and pickpocketed passerby, but she always seemed to have evaded the guards of her city. What no one really knew was that she did all of this to help others, the people who were supposedly "beneath" her, the people her parents despised. Genesis considered herself the Robin Hood of the city. She's also heard of the rumors of a facility way outside of where she lives, a place where people are surveyed by the government. It's known to be a "camp," but that's too much of a happy term for her to consider it as. She knows something's up and she wants to know why. And she will first hand. Graham has grown up with a silver spoon in his mouth and wads of money beneath his feet. He's had his whole life planned out before him by his parents who don't even drive because they have people to drive for them. He's eaten smoked salmon and caviar every night for dinner underneath a huge crystal chandelier. He's had everything he ever wanted handed to him and he's never given a second thought about anyone else. That is, until one night. Once he arrives at the supposed camp, after a bang on the head, he meets Genesis. They both have a connection to each other that they can't explain, even though they're constantly at each other's throats--quite literally. But there are others, too. As soon as they realize it's not just them, they'll have to run for their lives or the government after them will put them back where they were placed. They have to rely on hope and on each other, or else everything will fall beneath them.

It started with hustling pool. He needed some sort of income. Living off the streets at twelve years old isn't easy in any respect, but it helps to have money. Then came the pickpocketing. It's amazing how much cash someone carries in their wallet at a time. Just a brief bump and he can easily slip a hand in a pocket. He'd have to use the credit cards quickly. He could match a signature well enough that a machine wouldn't care. It would only be a matter of time until the card was canceled, but he'd have it long enough to buy a new pair of shoes or a jacket in the winter. And the cash, he'd save that for a rainy day. Then came the shoplifting. He finds its easier to steal directly from the source. Hiding a twenty dollar shirt in a hoodie pocket was easier than finding the twenty dollars themselves, and showing up at the grocery store right when it opens and shoving an apple down his throat when no one was looking isn't as complicated as it sounds. It was never supposed to get violent. He was just trying to keep himself alive. He didn't expect them to be home. But then he made a game of it, and he never truly realized how high the stakes were - not until there were weapons involved. He did what he had to do. He snatched the knife, and what happened to the man, he'll never know. It was a nasty wound, though. If he did somehow survive it, he'll almost certainly never walk again. That day changed everything. It opened up a world of possibilities. He's been breaking the law for months, but it never occurred to him that he could just outright ignore it. He'll do what he has to do, and he'll do what he wants to do, and no law is going to stop him. And that's how this seventeen-year-old Gabriel Adams became the FBI's most wanted serial killer.
