First Order's Mercenary

prologue: searching for an old friend

?: (voiceover) it all started when I received a message from the supreme commander of the first order. My mission was to find the daughter of a scientist and protect her from the chef of Raccoon City police. As I was going to the city anyway to search for an old school friend, I didn't know what was going to happen.

-A stormy night, 22/9/1998, a week before the destruction of Raccoon City-

A modified tractor truck is being driven in the rain as a young man at the age of 22 was listening to the radio. He drives towards a service station as a horde of the undead notices. The truck arrives at the service station as a young woman with a red jacket is finishing up with a payphone.

?: (driver exists from the truck) Hey there.

?2: you here to find someone?

?: yes. My brother, Chris. You?

?2: I'm here for a couple of people. One of them is a kid to protect.

?: a kid? Oh before I forget, I'm Clare. You?

?: Finnegan.

As the two chat, something catches their attention as Clare drew her sidearm. The pair cautiously head to the service station's shop. They find that the store had its power cut.

Finnegan: (draws a long barrelled revolver) something's wrong.

Claire finds a clerk on the ground while covering an injury on his neck. The clerk points towards the refrigerator's door as it was open.

Claire: do you want to check it out?

Finnegan: sure.

Slowly, Finnegan walked through the refrigerator as he was hearing some noise from the other side. He disengages the safety of his long barrelled revolver. Finnegan finds another clerk was having trouble with a Zombie.

Finnegan: Sir, do you want help?

?: just stand back, sir!

The Zombie had started to eat the clerk and attempts to attack Finnegan only to have its head blown off by Finnegan's revolver with a cold expression like he didn't care.

Finnegan: tch, typical Zombie...

After he engages the safety of his revolver, Finnegan came across a key as Claire came running while she had her own gun unholstered.

Claire: the store is about to be overrun.

Finnegan: (tosses the key) catch.

Claire catches the key as Finnegan draws both of his twin long barrelled revolvers. He instructed Claire to stay behind him as they went into the store. Seeing as he easily gunned down the Zombies as they tried to swarmed them, Claire was impressed. As they came to the door, Claire held her hands up as a rookie police officer held his gun out.

Claire: whoa, don't shoot!

?: you and your friend, get down!

Finnegan and Claire did as they were told when the rookie cop shoots another Zombie from eating Finnegan.

Finnegan: thanks.

?: no worries. (Notices an unfamiliar symbol on Finnegan's shoulder) are you with the First Order?

Claire: (confused) First Order? Who are they?

Finnegan: let's not worry about that for now and let's get out of here.

?: he's right.

Finnegan whistles to his modified truck as it converts its grill, revealing a multiple barrel gun known as a gattler. Both the new comer and Claire was surprised to see Finnegan's truck to have a secret compartment.

?: voice activated?

Finnegan: (smirks) you bet. (Gestures to an abandoned police cruiser) take the cruiser to Raccoon City and find anything out for me.

Claire: (Unsure) how would we do that?

Finnegan tosses a couple of razor like devices to the pair and informs them of his communication numbers. After they had entered the numbers and synchronised, Claire and the new comer, Leon ran to the cruiser, they entered the cruiser and left the service station as they saw it exploded.

Claire: think we will see Finnegan again?

Leon: something tells me that we will.

From the smoke of the destroyed service station, a familiar truck had appeared and was driving towards a city.
