"Paitence Booker, we can't just go marching onto that island before we..."
Before she could finish her sentence, the building shook violently, Booker couldn't make out much from the smoke shrouding the room but the faint outline of an Zepplin, he could tell they were ready to strike again.
"Get down, Daisy!" he yelled, pushing her out of the way, seconds before the second explosion shook the building and covered the room with dense smoke.
He looked out the window, he could see that the founders were already moving to their location.
"Stay here, I'll be right back" He said, leaping onto the skyline.
Once he'd arrived at his destination, he dispatched a good portion of the soldiers and began making his way toward the Zepplin.
He charged into the airship, ready to fight, but the soldiers didn't attack him, instead they just...stood there, twitching violently with their noses bleeding.
"What the..." Booker said in confusion as he looked on at the soldiers.
"You're welcome for the assist" A female voice suddenly said from the corner of the room, Booker looked over to see a suited man and woman standing in the corner, seemingly amused.
"Who...Who are you?" Booker asked, confused as to how they got there.
"No, Dewitt, the question is, Who are you?" The man said with arrogance in his tone.
Booker didn't answer, he simply looked on in confusion as the man approached and handed him a small envolpe simply marked " ".
"What's...What's this?" He asked taking it and inspecting it's contents, finding a photo of himself and a young woman standing in an elevator, he immediatley recognized the girl as Elizabeth, the one he'd been sent to look for.
He was never with her, much less being in an elevator with her, yet the memory was still there, suppresed but there, he felt a bit of blood begin trickling out of his nose.
He looked up to question the man and woman, but they were gone, seemingly vanished out of thin air.
"Just what the hell is going on here..." he said as he refocused himself, he quickly realized the Zepplin was beginning to spiral out of control,
He quickly hopped out of the back port and onto a nearby Skyline, hearing the loud engine of the Zeppling fade behind him.
Once he hit the ground, he immediately spotted Daisy and the Vox troops.
"This is it, Booker, we can't waste anymore time waiting, we have to move on that outpost, NOW!." Daisy said with a look of both Anger and concern.
Booker sighed and spun the blade of his Skyhook. "Alright, but after this, I need that favor." He said, readying himself.
"We have a deal." Daisy replied as she and the troops walked away.
Booker looked at the outpost and loaded his pistol, it wouldn't be easy, but he had to do it..the words "Bring us the girl, wipe away the debt" flashed in his mind, it was time.
