Chương 10: Emails
"Get Uroboros? If Terrasave was trying to get it wouldn't they have just gotten it from the B.O.W that had attacked us at the port all those years ago?"
"I have no doubt they did, but what Zane had, was different. His body was able to, live in co-existence with it, making the virus a symbiote more than a disease. Someone had given Terrasave word about Zane's condition, who that person is I'm still trying to figure out, but they wanted to make sure things went smoothly and exactly how they wanted, so they sent me. Not long after finding Zane, I found out about his, special condition, and how he could have survived that night. I knew something wasn't right, and Terrasave knew.
Wasn't long after that before we were being hunted by other agents,"
Page stands there, staring at his slightly troubled expression, trying to figure out if this is all made up.
"...If Zane really was alive and not a zombie, why did you kill him then?"
"Because I knew as long as he was alive with that thing in him, he would never be safe. I disposed of him in a trash facility, burning his body in an incinerator to destroy everything so no one could get the virus...but, a woman in red was there as agents showed up and starting chasing me down again. I have no doubt that if anything survived, she got it,"
"Woman in red? There's lots of those in Terrasave,"
"She wasn't an agent, at least not for Terrasave," As Jacob takes another sip of his soda Page stares at the floor, processing everything he's said.
"As much as I'd want to believe you Jacob, I can't,"
"Hm?" He asks while he's taking another sip.
"Hand me my bag, and don't try anything funny," Page demands as she pulls out her taser, "I may not have the guts to shoot but I can tase you,"
"Alright, alright," Jacob says as he takes off the bag and hands it to her. She takes the bag and heads for the front door.
"Stay there," She states before walking outside and closing the front door. She opens her bag and pulls out the file Norton gave her. She never read anything but the mission briefing so far. As she brushes pasts the documents, reading the first sentence of each one she finds on that catches her interest. It's an email sent from Professor Luther.
Luther? Wasn't he that scientist fired from Terrasave all those years ago for doing illegal experiments? Why is this in here?
Pulling the file out she sees that the letter is addressed to Jacob. It reads:
"Agent Jacob, the creature you and Agent Page are being sent to deal with is believed to carry a form of the G-Virus inside of it. We have something extra we need you to do, retrieve a sample of its body while it's alive, but make sure no one sees you doing it."
Page stands there, staring at the printed email.
"Was this the only one?!" Page asks as she stomps back inside. Before Jacob can react she thrusts the paper at him, almost making him spill the second soda that he's started drinking. He only has to glance at the paper to know what it is.
"Where did you get this?" He asks with a raised eyebrow.
"Don't change the subject, answer my question," Page states aggressively.
"No, this wasn't the only one,"
"How many more of these did you get? How many more missions were you doing stuff behind my back?" She asks with a hostile tone.
"Every mission except the first three. I could understand being shocked but I don't get why you're getting so emotional about this,"
Page reaches into her bag and pulls out cuffs.
"What do you think you're doing?"
"Arresting you,"
Page puts the bag down and walks up to him. She goes to grab the arm holding the soda but he moves it out of her grasp.
"I'm not gonna let you arrest me," Jacob states as he looks down at her with an irritated look.
Page reaches for his arm and he moves it once more. She goes for his other arm and he moves that one.
"Fine, you asked for it," Page says before she takes the taser and zaps him with it. His whole body tenses up, causing him to stumble forward but he manages to stay on his two feet. He drops the soda and email, the soda spilling on the floor and the paper. Page removes the taser, leaving Jacob winded and recovering from the pain. She takes the chance to put his arms behind his back and cuff him.
"P-Page," Jacob stutters, "You read the email, you know why I had to do it,"
"I don't care why you did it, now start moving," She states as she pats him on the back. He refuses to move.
"What do you mean? Why wouldn't you care?" Jacob turns around looking at her with a mixture of anger, confusion, and worry, "Don't you get that I did it to keep you safe?"
Page stands there, staring at his expression. It's an expression he rarely has, the only times she's seen him with this look has been whenever he's had to save her from danger. If the date night has taught her anything, it's that he's a convincing actor.
"The email didn't say anything about me other than don't let me see you getting the sample,"
"What? What are you talking about? Of course they said more than that about you. Page, I'm the reason you weren't sent with that group of agents to that island near Russia!" He exclaims with fury, "Let me see that email again, someone must have forged it or tampered with it,"
Page glances down at the soda filled paper.
"It's stained too much to be able to read it," Page replies.
"Of fucking course," He says looking down at it, "Than take me to my office in the city, I have the original emails saved on my computer,"
"Why should I trust you? And why would you have saved them?"
"Because we've worked together for years. I saved the emails as evidence against them, I've been living here trying to get everything I need to show everyone what Terrasave is really trying to do,"
"They're trying to keep people safe from bio-terrorists. That incident with the agents being taken to that island, Norton did everything he could to weed out anyone else who was suspected of doing anything of that sort again. Now," She grabs her bag and puts it on him, "Get going," She states more firmly, pointing to the front door.
"That's not what he did," Jacob replies as he hesitantly turns around and walks to the front door, "He was getting rid of anyone who didn't bend to his will,"
As the two walk outside they notice a smoke trail in the air. Following it, they see it's coming from the flea market which is set ablaze. Jacob looks to Page who glances at him before walking up to him.
"Where's your keys?"
"Front left pocket,"
Page takes the keys from his pocket and gets on the scooter.
"Come on,"
Jacob gets onto the scooter, holding onto the seat as best he can with his cuffed hands.
"Once we're done with the market," Jacob says as she starts up the scooter, "I will drag your ass to my office if I have to to prove to you that I was keeping you safe,"
"When we're done with the market we're leaving this island," Page states before they take off down the road towards the roaring fire.
