It was another operating room, and on the table was the jolteon that zapped him. She was unconscious now, and missing her rear right leg. The leg was completely gone, revealing all the flesh and ports the mechanical leg was once anchored on to. The rest of her paws were strapped down to the table. Were they chopping their own up now? At the opposite side of the room, there was an open door. He guess the butcher that was chopping her up, ran away once he heard the bullets flying. Nearby there was a big metal shelf full with medical supplies he looked through what they had. Luckily, there was a box of hypostims. "This should brighten up my day." He thought aloud as he grabbed the box and put it down on the metal table the seemingly dead jolteon was laying on. He then turned his attention back to the door. He had to barricade it before more of those harvesters came busting through. He put the pistol down for a moment to grab and push big metal shelf with one hand. Slowly, it began to tip over until it hit the ground with a big loud crash. If they didn't hear the gunshots, they would sure hear that.

"H-help me..." The jolteon faintly begged the lucario.

Cheng spun around, now looking down at her. He was surprised to see that she was still alive. "Help you? Why the fuck should I help you? You're the fucking reason I am here in the first place! I should just let them cut you up... No one will miss you..." He replied as he began looking to some of the medical tools. He didn't like the thought of fishing around inside his own body for bullets, but he had the stims ready. He guessed he should just get it over with.

"I needed the money! I needed to eat... I was going to die... I was going to starve..." The jolteon told him as she watched him grab some forceps.

"Now you can enjoy having all those limbs of yours cut off while you're still breathing. Sucks to be you." The lucario told her as he prepared himself to dig those bullets out of his shoulder. Time was running out, he needed to do it fast. He could hear them outside the door, yelling about the three dead men. He needed to do it, he couldn't just stand here and think about it all day. They could come rushing through that door at any moment, so he pushed the cold forceps into himself, into the bloody wound.

"You're going to let them tear me apart? You're worse than I am... I didn't have a choice..." The jolteon felt all hope fading as she heard the men outside now pounding at the door. The thought of having the rest of her legs and eyes torn away from her terrified her.

"I am not risking my life just to save you!" Cheng shouted as he pulled a big chunk of metal out of himself. The mushroomed bullet was covered in his blood. He dropped it to the floor before grabbing a hypostim, pulling the cover off the needle and then injecting the fluid straight into his neck. Already, it was dulling the pain.

The jolteon knew it would only be a matter of time until both of them are dead, unless they work together. "I-I know a way out... Take me with you, and I will help you."

Just as Cheng opened his mouth, he heard bullets striking the big metal shelf behind him. They were trying to shoot through the door. It sounded as if there was at least five more men out there with automatic weapons. He doubted he would be able to kill them all with just a pistol. Any information she had might be his best bet to get out of here. "Fuck me! Fine, fine I will fucking help you... Your help better be worth me lugging you around." He told her as he began undoing her restraints. Once he undid them, he grabbed his gun using his left hand. His shoulder was hurting like hell, but that hypostim helped him deal with it. He scooped the jolteon up with his right arm.

The jolteon looked towards the nearby open door. "That door leads straight down to a staircase that will take you to the streets. There is a door, but I know the code to it." She told him as the lucario carried her to the door.

Just as she had said, the door led straight down to a staircase. "Should I expect any guards outside?" The lucario asked before then hearing a large explosion behind himself. He guessed they resorted to explosives in order to flush him out.

"No, but you should run before they get us! The code is two-three-four-five!" The jolteon exclaimed, worried that they might catch up with them and finish the job.

"Seriously? Amazing password, no one would figure that one out." Cheng hurried down the stairs as fast as he could whilst carrying the jolteon. In the end, they reached the very bottom of the stairs, and were confronted by a strong looking door and a keypad. He tapped it in using the barrel of his handgun. The lucario could hear the men entering the stairwell already as he pushed the door open using his uninjured shoulder and ran through the streets.

The jolteon looked around as she was carried away from the parking lot and taken to wherever Cheng was heading. She noticed everyone staring at them. "They're all looking..." She whispered.

"What do you expect? You're missing a leg, and I have two holes in my shoulder and a gun in my hand. It would be weirder if they didn't stare." Cheng replied as he hurried down the streets of Hengsha, trying to avoid all the alleyways they may get cornered in.

"Where are we going?" She asked him before growling in pain. The entire spot where her missing leg was hurt like hell.

"You will see when we get there..."

Half an hour later, Cheng carried the jolteon into his apartment, putting her down on his creamy coloured leather couch. "Don't bleed on it too much." He said to her before then sitting down next to her, still holding the gun. His home was nice, but nothing special. His floor was made up of fake wood, light in colour and quite reflective. Two of the walls were white, the one with the TV mounted on it was red. One wall was just a huge glass window, giving a quite nice view of all the streets and buildings below it.

The jolteon lay on her side as she looked at him with those strange green eyes of her's. She knew he didn't have to bring her back here with him after what she did to him. He could've just dropped her after she gave the code, but he didn't. "Thank you..."

"Hm? What for? For saving you? It was either that or get fucked up by those harvesters." He replied to her with a sigh.

"You didn't have to bring me back with you, that's why I'm thanking you." She bluntly told him.

"Can't say dropping you didn't enter my mind. I just didn't want to give those harvester fuckers any money by leaving you behind. Besides, now you can make yourself useful. You can still zap people, right?" The lucario asked her. She simply nodded in response. "Good, then you can keep watch over my place. If any of those harvester fuckers come barging through the door, don't hesitate to fucking roast them alive."

Hearing him talk like that, and knowing he knew how to kill made her wonder just what was it he did for a living. Those augs looked quite expensive, they certainly weren't from the harvesters. "What do you do for a living? Are you some kind of mercenary?" She asked him.

"Fuck no! I am a reserve in the army... And I have an accounting job..."

The jolteon looked stunned for a moment before breaking into a small giggle. "You have an accounting job? I thought you were some assassin with the way you fight." She said with a smile.

"Just because I deal in numbers doesn't mean I can't smash people's faces in." Cheng defensively replied as he turned the TV on.

"I just never expected someone like you to have a job like that." She said as she turned her attention to the TV. "My name's Jiao by the way."

"And I'm Cheng. What's your story, Jiao? Want to tell me the reason you almost got me ripped apart?" Cheng quickly questioned her once again.

"I told you I needed money... I needed to eat... I can't get a job anywhere, every job is already taken. There were only two things I could do... Sell myself or join the harvesters..." She looked away, not really wanting to talk about this right now, but she guessed he deserved an answer.

"And they stabbed you in the back... Tell me, if you're so poor, how come you have such expensive looking legs?" Cheng questioned her, thinking that there was something she wasn't telling him.

"I wasn't always this poor... Let's just leave it at that." She didn't really feel like sharing all of the gritty details of her life with someone she only just met.

"Fine, talk when you wanna talk." He said as he stood up, and walked towards his bathroom.

The jolteon watched him walk away. "Where are you going?"

"I still have one more bullet stuck inside my shoulder... I'm going to pull it out." The lucario told her as he walked away, and closed the door behind himself.

The jolteon was now alone in the room, her strange eyes looking over every detail of his home. Compared to where she's been sleeping, it looked great. Sure it could use a little more color, but other than that, it was nice. She began to stand up, but doing that with only three legs was pretty hard to do when she was so used to having all four. She hopped off the couch, stumbling and almost falling over when her paws hit the ground. The sound of her metal paws clacking against the hard fake wood floor could be heard clearly, even over the sound of the TV. She walked around Cheng's home, looking at all his possessions. She was just curious about what this man was really like. She made her way into the bedroom, and a familiar scent hit her nose. "Ugh, does he have a girlfriend? Or is he just..." She didn't finish the thought, not really wanting to think about that right now. His bedroom seemed fairly plain, with the same fake wood floors, the walls being a sort of off white color. It was clear he wasn't an interior decorator.

"Fuck!" Cheng yelled loudly from the bathroom, loud enough for Jiao to hear him.

Jiao jumped slightly at his voice, she guessed he must be pulling that bullet out of himself right now. She decided to keep looking around. A quick glance under his bed revealed what she already suspected. "He must be single." She thought to herself before looking away from the dirty magazines. She would probably jump on his bed and get some sleep, but she already knew what he got up to in that bed. She heard a door opening up somewhere, she guessed Cheng was walking out of the bathroom. She hurried back into the living room just in time to see him walking out.

Cheng looked back at her, seeing her walking out of his bedroom. "What were you doing in there?" He questioned her with an inquisitive look on his face.

"Just looking around." Jiao replied as she walked back towards the couch.

"You've only been in here a few minutes, and already you're poking around my stuff?" Cheng sat down on the couch, holding a bottle of something in his hand.

"Sorry." She apologized as she hopped back up onto the couch, only now spotting some kind of spray bottle in the lucario's hand. "What's that?"

"This is going to make sure you don't get an infection. Turn around and let me see that missing leg of yours." Cheng told her.

Jiao didn't look happy, but she knew it needed to be done. She let out a faint sigh as she turned around, letting him see her missing leg. "This is going to hurt, isn't it?"

"Like hell..." Cheng replied, deciding to be honest instead of sugar coating it. He looked over the spot where her leg once was. It was all sore, and hairless. The flesh was pink and wet looking, as if it was trying to heal itself. He could see ports, both small and large. The largest port was the one right where her bone would be. "Shit... Here, bite down on this." He said as he grabbed a nearby cushion, and brought it to her mouth. She did as he said, and bit down gently. Then, he sprayed the entire wound down, causing her to scream into the cushion she bit down in. Her sharp teeth began ripping right through it as the huge missing part of her stung more than anything she's felt before. She fell onto her side as she felt him spraying on even more. "Fuck! Didn't you get enough on it the first time?!" She screamed at him before starting to sob in pain.

"I had to make sure I got every part of it..." He replied to her as he stopped spraying, and put the bottle down on the floor. He knew just how much it hurt, he had to spray down the holes in his shoulder too. He looked to his cushion, seeing her bite pattern torn into it. "Looks like I will need a new cushion."

Jiao stayed on her side, recovering from the immense pain she had felt just a few moments ago. It hurt, but she knew that was something they had to do. "Thank you..." She quietly said.

"You're welcome." Cheng casually replied to her before then hearing a knock at his door. His expression soon dramatically changed to one of dread.

Jiao looked back to Cheng. "Maybe it is one of your friends?" She said to him.

Cheng grabbed his pistol and pointed it towards the door. "Don't have any." He replied as he got ready to fight.
