I, uh, don't know much about him. Just who he is. Never met him. Google could tell you more than I could." He looks uncomfortable at the next one, frowning in concentration. "That's the deputy warden, I can't remember his name. He came to visit my cell once, before I got taken into the arena. Came by in the middle of the night, just... stared at me. Then left." At Hursley's picture, the fear returns to Jordan's eyes and he goes silent for nearly a minute! "He's in on it! I've seen him down there! Sometimes he'd step into the arena himself, just 'cause he was bored; didn't matter what the other guy's power was, how strong or tough they were... he killed them in one punch."

She would look into them more. However, when she got to Hursley, she saw his fear and quickly, she moved the picture away from him. She didn't want to hurt him any more than she absolutely had to. Even though she hadn't received any responses from her first messages, she sent out another text to the guys following up. Dominic Hursley. He's in on it. Consider him armed and dangerous. EXTREMELY dangerous! Bring in if possible. Then, she would put her pictures back in their little file and nod. "I'm going to go check in with the Director about that exercise, okay? You deserve a break. Is there anything else I can help with?" Waitress mode: activated. « Last Edit: Jan 2, 2016 19:42:22 GMT -6 by Evelyn Cravens » Back to Top   Aaron Silverman Legend Defense ...

Waitress mode isn't something he's used to dealing with! He blushes, clearly unsure what to ask for. "I guess tell my family I'm okay? The news'll've been painting me out to be some kind of monster, I want the truth out there. Maybe find me a lawyer's phone number, too; I'm suin' the shit out of Chicago PD after this blows over."

He was across the room from her, so she would turn to leave before he could do anything with that, but it was a kind gesture. "Of course, Jordan. You can count on me." And then she'd turn to go find Jack. Back to Top   Aaron Silverman Legend Defense ...

There's also a mention of him in Paradigm's archives - as someone scouted out for recruitment, but rejected after a psychological evaluation. She also finds his Facebook page.

Not in a million years. She focuses on the information on Paradigm. What was his power? Why was he scouted? Who scouted him? And why did he fail the evaluation?

His power is super strength and durability! Tests didn't come out with a definitive extent to his powers, but his results were off the charts, and his potential was described as "frightening". He was scouted because Paradigm learned of his incredible strength when his father was attacked by a bear while out hunting; Dominic charged the bear and killed it with one punch. A team of intelligence agents investigated the reports, found evidence of similar incidents in his history, and decided to look into him. Despite such impressive scores in physical tests, Dominic's mindset was found to be unsuited to work as a Paradigm agent. In short, the conclusion was that he was a bully who would abuse his powers and station, looked down on everybody who didn't have powers, and enjoyed hurting people. After his rejection by Paradigm, he finished high school and joined the military; his activities aren't listed in Paradigm's files on him, except to say they're classified. He was, however, noted down as someone who needed to be monitored. Back to Top   Some things are worth fighting for, some feelings never die...

It seemed odd to her that he was so strong and expected to be monitored, but seemed to go under their radar. How could he end up working at a prison like this and it not be suspicious? She groaned softly to herself, rubbing at her forehead. Most prisons have daily checks on all of their inmates. She checked to see if any had been moved from their cell blocks or unaccounted for.

He was known to have gotten a job at Mercyglade sometime after the peace treaty was signed five years ago, but agents monitoring him were mostly put on other cases. Part of why Paradigm learned about Jordan's escape so quickly was agents still watching that area for any signs of trouble from Hursley! Reports she can access from Mercyglade are suspiciously sparse, as if being intentionally hidden! She can see there was a report on Kellen Vaughan being taken for a "medical exam" about a month before Jordan arrived at Mercyglade, but if she checks his prison number on Illinois inmate lookup, he's marked as deceased. For a place with a reputation for being very safe and orderly, a strangely high number of inmates listed as being at Mercyglade are marked as sick, missing, or deceased. « Last Edit: Jan 4, 2016 18:49:30 GMT -6 by Aaron Silverman » Back to Top   Some things are worth fighting for, some feelings never die...

The door being open makes him move onto his bed, closer to the door, but he doesn't try to get out. He just writes. Finally, he finishes, folding up the paper gently.
