Chapter 1: Prologue

"What do we have?"

"Not much. A couple of new moves, but nothing to be excited over."

A sigh. "How many subjects do we currently have?"

"Five, Sir. If we had one more, we would get all the data we need."

"Alright, call Jackson and tell him to be on the look out for one more subject."

"Yes, Sir, right away." A woman pulled out a phone and began punching in a number. A man stood behind her, watching the TV monitors set up in front of them.

They were in a dark room that was only light by the monitors. The room itself was 10 foot by 10 foot. On one wall, charts and graphs had been hung along with photos of five different teenagers. These people were scientists and they were going to get what they needed.

"Jackson, it's me, we have a new assignment for you. Start looking for one more subject to add to our pool." The woman on the phone said. "I don't care how hard it will be, just get it done." She hung up and nodded her head at the man.

"Good. In the mean time, let's focus on the anatomy on each subjected."

"Right away, Sir." The woman's fingers clicked across the keys of the keyboard as she started typing in commands.

Franklin Jackson, usually called Frank, Jack or just Jackson, put his cell phone back in his pocket and sighed. 'Great! Now that everyone has gotten comfortable with each other I have to go find another one.' He grumpily thought. He looked out of the window of his personal train car and watched the five performers practice while he thought over where to look for the next addition to their group.

After a while, he went to his desk and logged into his computer. He started a search for any clues for bizarre events that would give him a lead on where to look. For most of the evening, he searched newspaper after newspaper, article after article and still hadn't found anything. He leaned back and sighed; annoyed that he hadn't found anything yet.

Jackson sat in his chair and stared at the giant map on the wall in front of him. It was a world map that was 4 foot by 8 foot. Pins of different colors and sticky notes were stuck into it, showing where the performing group had been. He got up and walked to the map and found the pin that showed their present location. Berlin, Germany stood up from underneath the pin.

He sighed. "This job would be much easier if I already had an idea of where I need to go." He mumbled to himself. He looked at the map and realized that there were hardly any pins in Russia. He looked at Moscow and shrugged his shoulders. "I guess that's where we are going until I have a clue." He picked a box full of pins and placed a purple one in the middle of Moscow. "Russia here we come." He said as he put down the box and headed outside to inform the rest of the group.
