This is my second book. It's more sci-fi then my previous drama... I think this one will be a little longer than broken and will take a lot of research and time to complete... Once again... I hope you enjoy... dont forget to tell me what you think

Delusions of Faith

Summary…

In the vast region of Argentina there is a corporation, Quincorp IND., a company who believes they are "Above The Law". With endless cash flow and unlimited technology, they begin their research in the late 80's by abducting children to perform neurological experimentation on their brains and bodies. With the new serum Dr. Armendez Diego has created, called PHYCOSISLABIN, they plan to take control the world.
PHYCOSISLABIN is a chemical known to cause the neurons in the human brain to work more efficiently and more rapidly to stimulate all the unused areas of the brain, or to put it lightly, development of telekinesis.
One child, Alistair McRyan, escapes from the clutches of the evil organization. Clueless to his past and unknowing of his future, he is found on the doorsteps of The Zurich's great manor. Subconsciously Alistair has been sending visions of his past torment and recent tragedies to Emily Zurich's dreams. Now, suffering from amnesia and insomnia, Alistair and Emily, must pursue their unknown destiny. During their journey, Alistair begins to develop strange powers: he can move things with his mind, hear people's thoughts, and he begins to remember his long forgotten past. Suffering from flashbacks of his tormented past of endless torture, they begin to unravel the mystery, which is Alistair.
With help from Emily's connection to the FBI and Special Tactic Forces they begin a secret war on Quincorp. But, when they dig deeper into the origin of the corrupted organization they find out more then they can handle; more "experiments", more children kidnapped with the same powers as Alistair, some even more powerful. Now using Alistair's abilities and Emily's tactical skills they are forced to face their destiny with their Delusions of Faith...

PROLOGUE
January 9th 1988

Somewhere off the coast of Mar Del Plata, Argentina, Dr. Armendez Diego was up late working on his “prize-winning project”. I'm going to make millions, Diego thought, If only I can… Suddenly, his train of thought was interrupted by the chemical reaction that infused from inside the vile. The chemical mixture of the boy's blood, type-A and the antigen type-B was a perfect match. PHYCOSISLABIN will work, it's perfect. Nobel Prize here I come. Diego worked hard all night until he could perfectly fuse together the boy's blood and PHYCOSISLABIN.
PHYCOSISLABIN (SIKE CO SIS LO BIN) was a chemical Diego has been working on since he graduated med-school. It was known to cause the neurons in the human brain to work more efficiently and more rapidly to stimulate all the unused areas of the brain. The only problem was, that using an adult brain would cause in deterioration of the cells. But, a child's brain was still developing. It would make the injection be sort of a pre-pubescent additive. This way the brain would accept the added hormones and cell stimulants and wouldn't cause and over-reaction causing the cells to die out and eventually deteriorate the brain completely.

Diego turned towards the body of the 4 year old boy who was still unconscious and filled the syringe with 5ccs of the PHYCOSISLABIN liquid. When he brought the chemical to the IV, which was injected directly into the boy's brain, he paused for a bit and looked down at the body of his only son. Then plunged the needle into the IV.
It's all down hill from here…

Chapter 1: The Glow
August 19th 2004

Emily Zurich, one of the FBI’s newest recruit and special tactics agent was still training in the Washington DC facilities. She is one of the most accelerated students in her class due to her small arms weapons and tactical skills. Even her grades were no lower than A-pluses. Ever since she was five years old she would watch cops shows and detective movies and want so badly to be one of those top agents who no body messed with. But most of all she wanted a family of her own. Her father was never really around because he was always traveling the world or working in his lab for days and weeks on end.
When she was younger she had an accident during an ovarian surgery. The doctors mistakenly removed too much of her ovaries in attempt to remove a growing cyst ending with her inability to have children. But that was the last thing on her mind right now. She needed to cram for her chemistry exams.
Emily was up late reading in her Advanced Micro Chemistry book in her study when she came to the realization that her father hasn't come up from his laboratory tonight. Come to think of it, he hasn't come up for a few nights now. What the hell is he doing down there? She thought.

Dr. Alan Zurich was always working in his lab in the basement. The door was scarcely open and the red light, meaning no entry, was always on. Alan was always disoriented when he came up, like he has been up for three straight days doing nothing but mathematical equations and chemical experiments. The strangest thing was that his eyes had a greenish glow to them. They have always spooked Emily when she was younger and now even more at 23, which she just turned this past November.

Emily, still sitting in her large comfortable chair, closed her book and lit a cigarette. Emily wasn’t a person who smokes all of the time, but only when she was nervous or angry. Right now, the way her father’s behavior the last few days has put her nerves to the test. He hasn’t been acting like the same person anymore.
After each drag she stared deeply at the dim glow of the red light inside the kitchen from her long study, which was fire-lit and extremely comfortable. She thought to herself, why hasn't her father been up for the last three days? I wonder if he is ok. Maybe I should… CRASH!

A loud noise erupted from inside the kitchen. The sound startled Emily and she dropped her cigarette on the floor. Quickly she scrambled to the ground to pick up the still lit cigarette, burning herself in the process. Only leaving a small burn on the carpet she furiously wiped the spot with her hand then placed the butt into the ashtray. Slowly she made her way to the kitchen to investigate the crash.
Still shaken up, she inched her way around the corner of her study and through the threshold into the hallway that lead kitchen. The only light was that of the red bulb burning dimly in the back corner, away from everything, like it was hiding there. I bet you would have missed it if you didn’t know it was there. The scariest part about that is that’s how Dr. Zurich wanted it.
Slowly, Emily made her way past the sink and the stove, and then past the large pantry, which was over stocked with food. Moments later the red like flickered and went out and she was alone in the darkness of the kitchen. Her heart began to pound so hard she could hear it as if it was right in front of her. The pounding grew louder and louder. So loud she thought she would go deaf. Then another sound of a door opening filled the dark room. Then footsteps. Sweat began pouring down her face and lower back. She took a few steps backwards when she bumped into something. She let out a yell.
“Hey Em, It’s me.” A man said switching on the kitchen light. “What are you doing standing here in the dark?”
“Dad…” Emily finally said catching her breath. “I heard a noise, I thought maybe you were hurt.”
“No I’m fine. It was the damn cat. Tripped right over her and caught myself on some lose pots in the stairwell.”
“You sure you’re alright?”
“Yeah, yeah, I’m fine… Just a bump.”
“Well I’m going to bed, Michael called he is coming home for the weekend.” Emily relayed glaring into his shinny green eyes.
“Oh great, how is Mikey, Still getting A’s?”
Emily hesitated for a while knowing damn well Mikey was failing two classes then finally said, “I’m sure he is doing fine.”
“It’s the Zurich genes”, He said proudly touching his daughter’s chins with his index finger and thumb “Well I’m going to bed… good night hunnie.”
“Night dad...” She said accepting his kiss on the cheek.
Emily watched as her father walked out of the kitchen and up to his wing of the estate. Still catching her breath she made herself a cup of tea and lit another cigarette...
