ASHMORE CONGOLMERATE HQ- NEW YORK CITY
"As CEO of Ashmore Congolmerate, and as Walter's own mother, I vow the American people that I will assist the authorities in finding my son, and the mutants responsible for such an unnecessary tragedy," a beautiful blond woman in a crisp blue pinstripe business suit announced to the world and wiped away a tear rolling down her make-up caked cheek with her breast pocket handkerchief,

Turning around as sounds were starting to come back to him, Walter pressed up against the metal bars, a look of abject terror stricken upon his face as screams of mercy and pleas for help echoed down the cell block.
And soon he would join in...
