“What’s the plan Kim?” Alex asks.

“We’ll go ahead and clear out some of the building if anyone's left, then wait

for Captain Smith and the rest of the Department. They'll do their thing and we’ll

be home free. Now let's move.” I command.

The building is abandoned when we get in, I scan for heat signatures and

have been sleeping in here. Normally Syndrome would dispose of these people
right off the hop, using them for even more sinister experiments or just killing

them and dumping the body. But some of Dr. Taylor’s mutants, even those who
