“You’re not going to get into trouble for this are you?”
Don looked over at his companion as they rode the hotel elevator. “No. As far as anyone knows back at the office, I’m chasing down a lead. ‘Could ask the same of you.”
Raising her eyebrow, Megan gave him a look that again said he was underestimating her. “Why would I be in trouble?”
He shrugged his shoulders. “Your partner didn’t seem too keen with you talking to me about any of this. Which I still don’t know the full story of.”
The elevator doors opened on the eight floor. She snorted, “Noah’s not like us. He’s normal and extremely mistrustful of people with abilities.”
They headed left into the hotel land of muted lights and horrible carpet. “Then why do you work for him?”
“It’s the way The Company works.”
That was the only answer she gave him and they fell silent until they came to the room. A key card blipped through with a ‘snick’. The hotel room was simple, two beds, a TV, bathroom, and desk. It was the desk where Noah Bennet sat. The taller man didn’t even rise, blue eyes challenging behind horn rimmed glasses.
Megan crossed the distance as Don refused to back down. He could hear her lean down and whisper, “He can help us, Noah. He has an ability.”
“You asked who Sylar was, Agent Eppes,” Bennet drawled in that Southern twang. “Everything you need to know is in here.” A thick folder was passed over.
Don spent the next ten minutes reading in silence. Looking at pictures of brainless victims, blood pooling and spattered, all at the hands of a man who wore black like the shadows of the Devil. Finally, he looked up. "How do we stop this bastard?"
