Sylar hadn't committed a lot of murders lately which was odd for one would expect someone like him to track down every mutant human around and take their power as soon as he could. But he had only been responsible for one death, that of a young man much like Elle actually who had the ability to shoot blue electric lightning from his fingertips and toes. The only difference was that he was a guy not a girl but that didn't matter to Sylar, all he was interested in was the power itself and the carrier meant nothing at all.<br/><br/>Not to mention the fact that Elle could only channel it through her hands and this man could channel it through his toes as well which was a bit odd. Sylar's hunger had driven him to Paris France a day after he had obtained that ability for he had heard of a power being there that was supposedly quite cool and he wanted to see what it was. He did not know what it was as of yet but from his resources it was something he would find interesting and that had him hooked so he was here to find out what it was and where he could find it.<br/><br/>He didn't expect to run into anyone he knew since everyone he knew was either dead or in the United States...<br/><br/>Sylar had no need to book a room in a hotel or find an apartment or house to live in. No, he would simply break into someone's home and use their lodgings for it wasn't as though he intended to stay anywhere for longer than a day and there was no need for checkout either. No, he wanted to research this city and find out where this 'special ability' could be hiding and who would be the carrier and that was more difficult than it sounded for some people were very good at being secretive if they didn't want anyone to know who they were or what they could do.<br/><br/>Where should he start looking...well most likely the newspaper to see if anything strange had happened lately. So he headed off to one of those news stands.
