Los Angeles Agency Branch
Conference Hall
"As an agent, we uphold our utmost duty to keep the country safe. The government has long given us the authority to wield military power to eliminate humanity’s greatest foe... Ghouls" a man wearing a white long sleeve shirt folded to the arms, along with brown pants and black shoes said.
Lorna listened carefully at what he said, they were about hundreds of them present in the hall, listening attentively. This was mandatory for every agent to attend the briefing, even though Lorna hated the classes and preferred training, she was no exception.
She sighs, folding her arms and leaning her back against the comfortable chair. She crosses her right leg against the other. This was boring to her but she listened. They said it was important so she had no choice in the matter.
"Now we face even the greatest of all threats, the highest wanted enemy of the agency," the man said, pressing a button on the small device he held. A picture came up showing the profile of Liam O’Brien on a widescreen at the center of the class.
"The black ghoul" he announced as whispers filled the hall.
Lorna’s eyes never left his picture; it looked more like a passport taken when he was human, it was said his abilities were lying dominant until it was unleashed. She tilts her head to the side assessing the picture more, he had handsome features, too bad he was a killer, that was Lorna’s thought, she couldn’t help but think what might have driven him to be such a man, a death bringer, a plague, a killer. She figured there were no answers to her question, he was the agency’s biggest threat and she was dying to bury a bullet deep in his chest to save all of humanity.
