Chapter 3

Walking out he just kept going, just a little pissed that they had interrupted another session of sex damn, I really wanted her too! A man looked on from the other side of the street opening his phone he had to report this.

Alan went to the Train station buying a ticket, and he waited for his train. Harman could feel the man now much clearer than the day before. He’d finally found where the man lived but when he got there found nothing, only the signatures of several boosted ones. Crap he hated to deal with those weaklings. The amount of power the man had was almost staggering, if he didn’t know better Harman would have sworn it was Varick he was feeling. Keeping his power as low as he could though ready at a moment’s notice, Harman followed the man. Suddenly Harman felt a tingling from near the entrance, damn it! They had company and it wasn’t the good kind.

Alan had sat to await his train out of the city, a moment later he knew he wasn’t alone. Great, he thought, though he could do this without moving, reaching out he touched all those he felt. They all went to sleep except one who made no move toward him. Reaching out, he tried again, hmmm Alan thought this one is unlike the others. Alan’s senses snapped to full as he looked closer at the man. When the one made no move toward him Alan decided to just watch him. If worse came to worse he could always try to make him go away.

Harman reported what had transpired including the man trying to put him to sleep, Varick smiled he was glad he and Harman had worked as long on his defenses as they had, now only Truda’s defenses were mid level but she was working every day to increase. “I want you to only follow him do not approach make no move toward him stay as far from him as you dare, when we know where he has gone we will follow.”

“Understood Varick though I am worried about the boosted ones they have to have come from someone. I am afraid that one of Bauer’s assistants may have also survived this long. I will keep you apprised of everything.” Harman said as the train started to pull in, Harman walked to the far car as the man went to the front though he couldn’t see him Harman could feel the man watching him. Smiling Harman thought so the man wasn’t a fool after all, good, as he took his seat and waited for the man to make a move.

Back at the station another of the boosted ones as Harman had labeled them was passing his hand over the entire area. Hmm the older man thought back at the accounting firm, this is most unexpected. The energy signature was exceedingly strong as he’d thought. The older man felt that Alan had just emerged and he was already so strong he couldn’t be controlled, plus the fact that his pawns were no match for him. Sighing he had to gain control of him if he was going to take the doctors files he needed them if he was going to live longer much longer.

Alan rode the train for hours as the distance stretched farther and farther from that cesspool of a city he’d been in. The smell of the hundreds of unwashed bodies that had been there before almost making him gag, unfortunately he had to have his senses this open, Finally the train stopped and Alan got off he’d felt the man at the other end the whole time. Though the man made no move toward him Alan could feel that the man wanted something from him, though what Alan wasn’t really sure.

Harman felt the man get off the train the whole time reaching out to make sure the whole time where Harman was. The cool breeze helped to clear his overworked senses. Harman was starting to like the man more and more, following at a very far distance Harman felt the man tense up more. Hmmm Harman thought the further away I get the more nervous he gets what is up with this man?

“Harman; we departed the train at the end of the line, I’d estimate that we are approximately 16.1 klicks from the city. Please advise as to action to take.” Harman told Varick.

Varick was silent for a moment they’d been looking for this man for several months now no sense in losing him. “Back off to a safe point, we will be there in a few hours I am hoping to put an end to the speculation as soon as possible.”

“Understood, backing off, and extending to full range,” Harman told Varick as he hung up. This man didn’t feel like he was going to be fooled that easy. Walking in the opposite Harman bedded down in the forest behind the train station. Damn he thought it was good to get out in the field again.
