Chapter 2 - Shout out, break out
Two days had passed since his capture, Will was sitting in his cell facing the floor, still unable to take in that his normal life was over.
‘Are we going to be here forever?’ he asked his cell mates in a worried tone,
‘Of course not’ replied Mike chuckling.
‘Yeah’ Libby responded, ‘we’ll find a way out of here’
‘But my mum…’ Will began, but stopped mid-sentence, ‘we have to get out’. Standing up and facing the cell door, Will charged at it. BAM! He crashed into it and fell back onto the floor, unsuccessful and unhappy.
‘If only I had an ability like you two, he moaned, this seemed to be a subject he was unable to drop.
‘You’ll have one’, Mike replied ‘otherwise you wouldn’t be here, I’ve got technopathy and Libby emotive ability manipulation which basically means her emotions depend on what she has, if she didn’t want to be seen she’d become invisible. Give it time though Will, you’re young.
‘Argh’ will shouted in annoyance, however this was no ordinary scream, Mike was thrown back against the cell wall by a sonic wave of energy, Libby looked on in shock ‘What on earth!’
Will froze before a smile spread across his face, turning towards the door, without saying a word, Will suddenly screamed, releasing another sonic wave, blowing away the door. ‘C’mon, quickly’ he muttered to the other two’, as the three prisoners ran out of the cell.

Sitting at a park bench overlooking Lake Sonny 10 miles away, Amy was terrified. She knew whoever was after he was professional and would not give in and she could not return home or contact any friends or family. She began to cry when she saw a squirrel by her foot, writhing in paint, blood coming from its wound, feeling pity Amy reached down and stroked it, the creatures injuries immediately healing. A bypasser stared in shock and the two agents behind her smiled.
Suddenly to the agents’ shock they were both fired into the lake by two powerful blasts of water from behind. Amy turned around to find a well-built man was standing over her.
‘C’mon’ he muttered ‘they’ll be more’, still taking in what just happened Amy asked ‘What, who are you?’
‘It doesn’t matter, now move’. With no other option than to trust the man Amy followed.
‘The pair climbed into a stolen truck and Amy nervously looked at the man as he drove off.
After driving for atleast five minutes Amy plucked up the courage to ask, ‘Where are we going’.
The man did not look but replied ‘These agents, I’ve been watching them, they’re capturing people with abilities. You may have escaped but they’ll be back and they won’t stop looking for you. Others in the area have been taken to some prison which is where we’re going, however I think that this operation is bigger than just North London. They’ll be other prisons up and down the country, perhaps all over the world. This operation means are lives will never be the same again’
Amy looked at him in silence, the full realisation of what was happening hit her. ‘Well we need to get as far away from these people as possible, why are we driving towards one of their prisons.
‘As much as I hate other evolved humans, we face a threat which means we need some. We’ve gotta put a stop to this operation, now there it is’.
Amy looked ahead, a seemingly normal warehouse stood in front of them, she frowned but followed this stranger out of the car and towards this ‘prison’.

No sooner had Will, Libby and Mike exited the cell when an alarm went off and the foot steps of guards coming towards them could be heard. The three immediately began running up the stairs to reach the ground floor, in the underground labyrinth of cells they would never escape.
They reached a corridor but at the other end agents flocked in guns raised, firing an the escapees. In a spurt of fear, Libby encircled her Mike and Will in a forcefield which the bullets did not penetrate.
Mike focused and the automatic door closed between them and the firing agents. He swore, ‘what do we do now!’ But before anyone could answer screams off agony could be heard behind the door. Instinctively opening it, they saw ten or so knocked out, drenched agents and behind them a man and young woman.
Libby dropped the forcefield as the man gave a dry simile, ‘follow me, quickly’, automatically assuming a leadership role. As the five evolved humans ran out of the warehouse, avoiding the shots of the ensuing agents, Hydro knew it was time to fight back.
