It Won't Help

She chuckled.
"It seems as if you are merely a child, Menaris. Emotions define us as human."
He scoffed.
"I don't see the advantage of these... emotions."
She turned around, green eyes ablaze.
"They are advantageous. It's just that it won't help you - and me - and our particular stance in life. We don't understand the value - apparently, this is the only area where we have no control over, and is also the one that has the most control out of all of us."

Orphaned at a young age, Phylicia Ortel learnt to get by and learn the truths of life early on. Brought up by the harsh realities of the world she had lived in, she keeps her emotions under lock and threw away the key - if she even had emotions.
Turned into a sociopath - deadly and intelligent - she has turned into one of the most reputable investigators around Britain.
Having absolutely no empathy and a knack for knowing a person's entire background with a single glance, she takes on numerous cases that had demanded her presence.

Until a certain turn of events turns the hunter into the hunted.

Accompanied by a kind and experienced medic and an abnormally closed off sociopath as well, Ortez tracks down the individual who had made her beautiful, complex mind burn into nothing more than cinders - ash that can very easily be blown away. Ortez has to break through the limitations that bind her genius to the ground, and ultimately execute her grandest, most intricate plan to save Britain von sich selbst.
