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.
