"An Assassin..." Mei said coldy with her eyes down to the ground.
Everyone just stared at her.
"I told K. Ross, I'd pay him back for his car when I had the money to fix it!" the driver yelled.
'I knew scratchin' his car would be the death of me.' the man thought.
"I don't work for him." She said as she raised her arm and fired some kind of mechanized spear head out of a concealed wristband.
It stabbed Mona through the heart before beeping and flashing.
"Mei..." Mona cried, "How could you?"
Everyone screamed as she was blown to chunks right in front of them.
Mei threw out a fistful of pellets, covering the area in dense smoke.
"Dr. Pharall, I have secured the antivirus, falling back to base now..." Mei said into her wristband as she ran off with the black box.
"Excellent work, Mei. Your mother would be proud." a voice said from inside the wristband.
Mei ran as fast as she could into the desert as cars began to zoom in towards the gas station.
Soldiers poured out and found everyone in disarray as flies swarmed Mona's obliterated body.
"The serum has been stolen, and Dr. Grant's daughter is dead." a soldier said into his phone.
"Understood. heading back with the survivors now."

Cailin sat in the tent quietly as Rachel cried, Jamie comforting her.
"Goddamn it, why'd it have to happen." Rachel sobbed.
"It's okay sis, things'll be fine, they'll get the serum back." Jamie said.
"Who cares?! Mona's dead! I can't believe I trusted her!" Rachel screamed.
"I couldn't save Emily... and now I could save Mona.... it's not fair goddamn it!"
"Easy ladies. We have an answer for you." said a decorated man.
"Good... I'm ready to fucking kill that bitch...." Rachel said as she wiped the tears out of her eyes.
"We've located the facility where the serum is being held via GPS." he said, "We're sending you and some of our finest men in to go an d retrieve it. Gear up by the helicopters.... oh, and good luck..." the man said as he walked away.
