walked into carriage five, just as Fiona was pulling up her white
trousers. The sight of her cute naked ass did things to the inside of
my body. The woman was beyond sexy. Her body looked like it had been
hand sculpted by the gods. Artists could spend years dedicated to
creating the perfect smile, but here it was before my eyes. Fiona was
a masterpiece. She looked back over her shoulder at me and smiled.
This time it was a naughty smile. I must have had a pretty naughty
expression on my face too. I was practically drooling over her. She
slipped on her top and zipped it up. I was disappointed to see her
naked back disappear, but the memories of our time in the shower
stayed fresh within my mind. I think the image of her naked body bent
over in front of me would stay with me for the rest of my life.
    ‘ We
have about two minutes before those things get here,’ said
Fiona.
    ‘ What
weapons do you have?’ I asked.
    ‘ Not
much left.’ She tied her belt around her mid-section and tapped
her handgun. ‘Police issue automatic side arm with one magazine
left.’ She scooped up her sub-machine gun. ‘One magazine
left in this bad boy, too. What about you?’
    I
pulled the acid shotgun from my back holster and handed it to her.
    ‘ What’s
this?’ she asked.
    ‘ A
present,’ I replied, as I unclipped the ammo pouch from my
belt. ‘It is a pump action acid shotgun. Those things don’t
like fire, so this might work on them too. It will burn through
anything it touches. You have enough rounds in there to survive this
thing.’ I handed her the ammo pouch.
    ‘ What
about you?’
    I
tapped my thigh holsters with the two bolt revolvers.
    ‘ I
got three re-loads for each gun.’ I pointed to the bolt rifle
on my back holster. ‘I have one magazine left in that and three
grenades.’
    ‘ What’s
this thing?’ she pointed to the computer tab on my belt.
    ‘ That
is a remote guided tactical nuke that is sitting in orbit.’
    Fiona’s
jaw nearly hit the floor.
    ‘ You
were carrying something like that on you?’
    ‘ It
is my plan b,’ I told her.
    ‘ Going
out with a bang, eh?’
    ‘ If
Prisoner X gets me then I will make sure I get him, too.’
    ‘ We
will get him,’ replied Fiona. ‘I got your back, 3-57.’
    A
sense of dread washed over me. I would have thought that her words
would have comforted me, but all it did was remind me of Emily. Emily
had said she had my back, too. I had promised her that I had hers,
but in the end I let her die. It hurt my heart to even think about
it. I could have saved her. Prisoner 3-59 had slit her throat from
ear to ear. I had the chance to save her, but Rose, the one inside my
head, had taken over my body and forced me to watch her die. How had
Emily felt? She had looked so frightened. Her eyes had pleaded with
me to save her, but all I did was sat there, unable to move.
    ‘ You
okay?’ asked Fiona.
    ‘ Huh?’
    ‘ You
spaced out for a minute there,’ she disarmed me with a smile.
    I
have to keep her alive.
    I
like Fiona.
    She
is nice.
    ‘ Fiona,
I won’t let you die,’ I told her.
    The
words left my mouth before I could stop them.
    Her
smile grew even wider and she stepped into my personal space. A sweet
gentle kiss was planted upon my lips. I closed my eyes and sank into
the embrace. I wished the kiss could have lasted forever. It felt so
nice. I could feel her true emotions for me through the kiss. We
hadn’t known each other long, but she had strong feelings for
me. It was not love, but it was something like love. It was something
nice.
    ‘ We
will get through this together,’ she replied. ‘I did some
research on the Prisoner X experiment last night. The game creators
sent us a file on Prisoner X in the hope it would help take him
down.’ I had seen the file. The majority of the missions had
detailed files and information, but I never read them. I never had
time. ‘It explained that
