skin as he stayed silent at my back. The sights of the body bags now coming out of the hotel were like omens of things starting to get worse for me if I said no. I was about to turn when he spoke.
    “I don’t have much time left Sara; I want to leave you with a gift of freedom if you work for us.”
    “What freedom would I have? I bet you would put some tracker on me and “my kind” just to make yourself save from us?”
    “You are wrong the division that I am creating, where I want you to be part off, would be yours to control. You do as you see fit under the circumstances.”
    “No more chasing me?”
    “Yes.”
    “I will do what I want.”
    “Yes.”
    I turned looked into his eyes and they were still sad, droopy if you may. I was about to say yes when he said “Just one thing.”
    “I knew there was a catch.”
    “Don’t get me wrong it’s just a safeguard for your family.”
    “I don’t have a family.”
    “Well your kind then.”
    “What is it?”
    “We need you to give us samples from each and every one of your kind you can find.”
    “I knew it, for tagging, then the answer is no. I don’t care you chasing me or the others. All I want is to be left alone and in peace.” I said as his brow arched downward and his lips tighten.

    I looked back at the hotel and it was still lit with strobes of the cop’s cars red and blue lights. People were gathering outside as the black body bags were coming out, how many did Alex attacked? I thought, and only I knew at the moment the danger that would unfold in just a matter of days, if things are not taken care off now. I looked at Jeremy still with the arched brow and tight lips glaring at me.
    “Sara you know what will happen.” He said as he moved to my side, his suit flapping to the winds song, his back straight, tight, and his arms to it embracing the lower part. “If it were not a matter of urgency I would not offer this. There are two others we could identify. God knows how many others are out there.”
    I looked forward and embrace myself reme mbering the first time I watched one come back, one of my victims, the nurse. Then I heard the shot coming from the back of a locked memory and Jeremy with his military uniform glaring down at the corpse. I jumped as it echoed all over again in my head. Then I moved my head down looking at the asphalt under my feet then forward again.
    “Just this once,” I said knowing that this time things are different. There are others like me out there and I would have to protect them from him, I know he is planning something else. I know that since I am not unique as b efore all he had to do was catch one of us so he can do his experiments all over again. But again, what if the others are just that, experiments that they knowingly have unleashed to the world and the danger they possessed.
    I turned around without saying any other word to him he only screamed to the nights wind were to meet the next day as I walked away. The wind distorted his words, but I u nderstood where to go. I walked with no intention of stopping anywhere, just move forward with no actual direction. I went north through Gregory Street and then back south going towards the forest. I don’t know why I had the urge to go there, maybe because I always have found the solitude of the forest welcoming. At the edge of the forest I looked left and back. My trail is spotless no one had fallowed me; there was no one behind a tree, a car or any other place they could use to hide. I moved inside the forest beside a tree with its trunk carved with a heart and two letters ‘G’ and ‘C’ with a plus sign, I put my finger to the bark of the tree and traced each curve the carving made. I felt that it was just nothing interesting at the time.
    I walked on a small grassy path for several minutes inside the forest with the night chi lly as it was and rustling of night creatures around. I lay on a clearing I found
