The Inner Circle members continue to keep the pair pinned down in the small overseer office they had holed up in.

"That's it." Maksim growled. "I've had enough of this shit." He quickly got to his feet and vaulted through the window. The mutants stared at him in surprise for a brief moment before continuing their assault when a man wearing a white face mask and a green vest yelled, "What the hell are you idiots waiting for!? Kill him!"

Maksim simply smirked, pulled out his knife, and went to work.

When he was done the warehouse floor was covered in blood and dead bodies. The only Inner Circle member left alive was the man in the white face mask. Maksim approached him slowly, casually twirling his knife as he got closer.

"Any last words?" Maksim says, his eyes narrowing in dark amusement.

"Yeah..." The man says as he stabbed a syringe into his arm. "Fuck you." He extends his left arm and opens his palm. A cloud of toxic vapor explodes in Maksim's face and the man in the man in the white face mask vanishes.

"Maksim! Are you alright?!" Alyssa shouts as she runs towards him.

"Stay back!" He shouts before breaking into a coughing fit. "That bastard used some kind of viral toxin on me."

"Are you going to be okay?"

"I should be in a few hours. I just..." Another fit of coughing interrupts him. "Need to sit down."

Maksim walks over to a nearby stack of crates and sits down on the cool cement floor. Alyssa sits down opposite him, a few feet away to avoid being infected, and the two wait for the virus to run its course as the snowfall outside gets heavier.
