Frank Castle was in his apartment. He sitting with a bottle of whiskey staring at a photo of his deceased family. He has been haunted by the trauma of not just the many military combat missions, his family deaths ate at him the most. Suddenly there was knock at the door. He answered and a blonde woman wearing glasses appeared. She comes in and introduces herself.
"Frank Castle?" she asked
"Yeah, who wants to know?" Frank responded
"My name Alexandria Cabot." She replied
"What do you want Miss Cabot?" Frank asked
"I need your help Mr. Castle. I need you to help me rescue a woman and her child from her dangerous husband." She said
"Look Miss Cabot, I'm not a social worker." Said Frank
"You don't understand. The woman's name Rebecca DeVito wife of Phillip DeVito is the boss of one of the biggest crime families in New York." she said
"I know who he is. This woman went to you instead of the police?" he asked
"You see Mr. Castle, I help battered women escape from their abusive husbands and relocate them, but Rebecca case is hard because her husband keeps her and her daughter trapped inside the compound with armed guards making it impossible to get to them. That's why I came to you because in addition to being a homicidal maniac, you are also a decorated Marine with the skills I need to help me in this cause. So, will you help me?" she asked
"All right I'm in." said Frank
"Good, you will be well paid." She said taking out the envelope with money in it
"Keep your money." Frank refused
"Well okay, you can pick me up tonight and we can get started." She said
"We? No way lady this too dangerous." Said Frank
"Wow, who thought that the Punisher would be so chivalrous? With all due respect Castle, I fought the Cartel and survived. So, I will see you tonight." She said leaving
Frank was annoyed, but he was also impressed with the woman's toughness.
Later that day Frank went to his secret lair getting ready for his mission. Frank asked Micro to dig up information on Alexandria Cabot. Micro goes through the file on the computer and relays the information.
"According to this file Alexandria Cabot was the Assistant District Attorney in Manhattan. She worked in the Special Victims Unit from 2001 to 2011. She helped put a lot rapists and child molesters in prison. During that time, she became a target for the cartel which caused her to be shot. The feds faked her death and put her in witness protection for two years." Micro explained
"Sounds like Miss Cabot got jaded with the system." Said Frank
"Like you except she's not going around blowing people's heads off." Said Micro
"I need you to look up the map of the DeVito Compound." Frank ordered
"I don't like this Frank. This woman has friends in the District's attorney's office and on the NYPD. If something happens to her you're going to get blamed for it." Said Micro
"I Know." Said Frank
"Just be careful." Micro warned.
