Edonia, Eastern Europe

"Energy Booster 300 test! 50 dollars to every partispant." it was werid enough to find a bubble blond sitting at a little desk like the one I saw in front of the ruined buliding but... actually that was weird this enough. "Wait... 50? I dont got a job right now.. so I'm in." I shrug, stop the juggling of the apple in my hand and walk over to the table. I stayed as a mercenary, pay is good and money is about the only thing that keeps comin back to me in this world. That and the story Sheva use to tell me when I was young... and when she was still alive.

"Your father was an amazing hero, you may hear other stories about your dad but none of them are true! Your dad was a hero to then end and now" She'd look at me and smile through tears(she'd always cry at this point). "through you Jake. Your as strong and smart as your father. Always remember that."

"Thank you for signing up! Please take your dose of the Energy Booster 300 and go up to the seventh floor." she smiles and I nod. "Will do lady." I grab one of the five plungers on the table and head up to the seventh floor. I whistle something as I round the corner of the floor, my apple still in hand. I keep whistling as I lean against a wall and slide to the floor.

"Hmph. Easiest 50 bucks I've ever made." I place the booster on my neck and inject myself. I flip the plunger in my hands as some other guy walks in.

"Hey, these things do anything for ya? Mean, they said it was an energy booster but" I fling the plunger to the other side of the cement room. "I dont feel any different." I slowly stand, holding out and juggling my apple in one hand.

"Ya know, between me and you, we should've ask for more money." I feel the sudden air rush, the swipe of a knife slice my apple in half as step back. "A lot more." I throw the apple half still in my hand and watch the half melted ugly ass fucker try to get its knife unstuck from the wall. My reactions kick in as he finally does pull the knife out and comes at me. My movements are quick and sharp.

"Havent lost my touch." I smirk and kick the now side ways psyco against the wall. "I'm pretty sure this wasnt part of the contract but I'm willing to renegotiate." I crack my knuckles.

"Hey! Did you take your dose?!" Another blond runs into the room. 'Whats with the blondes? Am I in Paris?'

"Yeah. If you want your own hit, you gotta sign up with the lady downstairs." I shrug, popping a bone in my neck. I look at the dissolving body of the guy that just tried to attack me. "Thats nice." She checks her phone and nods. "That's it. You've got the anit-bodies." I nod and smirk. "Well thank you very much." Then I actually hear it. "Wait, what?" She walks over to a grabage disposal.

"Jake Muller, you may be the key to saving this world." before I get to question anything, a whole bunch of roars and loud yells sound behind me. "Better save myself first." I smirk and sling myself through the shoot. I finally land on my feet outside, but no blond followin me. A couple of gunshots ring off and two seconds later, blondie is fall down the shoot, landin on her ass.

"Lose somethin'?" I smirk, holding in my laughter. "Just my balence." she stands and dusts herself off. "I'm fine." She pulls out a badge. "Sherry Brikin, United States-"

"Yeah,yeah good for you but now's not really the time." I point at the shoot above us, where you can here the freaks upstairs comin down. I walk around her and look back.

"You comin'?" she sighs. "After you." We move through the alley to the ruined streets.

"Fucking BSAA... They must be bored..." I mumble and finally spot a red, slightly dented door. I run over to it and try to kick it in.

"Girly! Little help?!" she runs over to me, her gun in hand, and we kick the door open. We run inside and she aims at the door while I walk over to a small thin window. "Alright then. First things first. I want 200,000 up front, another 200 when this is over. Oh and the B.O.W's" I tilt my head to look at her face.

"Those are extra. An additional grand." she walks over to me with a look of shock, and disbelief and I cant help but smirk. "Each."

"I'm not here to hire you." she scoffs. "What?" I look at her and narrow my eyes. "Why are ya here?" she looks away n keeps quiet for a second. "Your blood." I shake my head and chuckle. "What are you, the Red Cross or somethin?" I watch as she turns away and sways from side to side. "No, listen, those...things that attacked us, they were all exposed to a new virus called the 'C-Virus'. The same strain that you just took a dose of." I look at her. "It didnt affect you because you have the anti-bodies." I absentmindly rub the spot where I pumped the plunger into my neck. She comes closer to me, while I'm still tryin to understand the fuck she just said. 'Virus... those things... anit-bodies... not here to hire me... The fuck is going on?!'

"Right now we're racing agaisnt a global bioterrorist attack, and we needed a vaccine yesterday!"

'She works for the state...she wants to save these people... people that i'm hired to kill...'

"We need you, Jake." I look at her. She's innocent... the baby blue eyes shine with determination and even a bit of power. "We need your blood." I close my eyes and walk back over to the barred window. I stay silent for awhile...

"50 million dollars."

"what?"

"Cash. Non-negotiable. That'll get you one pint." I smirk. She opens her mouth and I can just hear her saying 'Your a dick!'. But she quickly shuts her mouth and clenches her jaw.

"I dunno bout all that. I'll see what I can do. But you, need to come with me." She jerks her head to the other door behind me. I tilt my head side to side. 'I can not go and deal with these bullshit BSAA idiots or I can get my money for, what maybe 3 pints of my blood? I'll have 2 extra pints, I'll live.'

"After you girly." I smirk and as soon as she's kicks in the door, me and Sherry set off to save the world.
