El Paso,Texas.

7:00 AM.

The alarm shows brightly those red symbols onto the dark screen,waking the man up. This one growls slowly then has difficulties to move,being too tired. He turns around then goes to sit on the edge of the edge,getting his legs out of the bed. But suddenly,a naked woman gets up and hugs him by behind.

" Querido,are you all right ? "

" Sí,honey ! Can't you go back to sleep ? " The latino man asks kindly,tired. But she woman closes her arms harder around him and kisses him to the cheek area. He laughs and gently gets free. Then he goes to dress himself up,since he is naked too.

A few minutes later,the man is eating his breakfast. He is currently eating a sandwich with peanut butter. The man is latino,with an orange skin. He has long black hairs,a little mustache with a very small goatee,blue shiny eyes and a dashing face. He is also wearing a red shirt with the sleeves up to the muscles,a blue pants and brown expensive shoes. He has kept a grey jacket next to him just in case he has to go out.

After a while,his girlfriend comes out,wearing revealing clothes and kissing him to the lips. Then she sits next to him and takes a bread.

" Darling,what do you have in plan for today ? "

" Well... Except returning to my office,nothing unusual. "

" Didn't you have any special job from the policemen ? "

" No. Since last week,everything went cool ! I think I can spend this entire day with you,querida ! "

" Oh,Luis ! " Then they kiss again.

After finishing the breakfast,the latino man heads to his office,where he works as a doctor. He opens the door with his keys then heads inside. The doctor closes the door and takes a quick look at his modern office. He can see first his desk with all of his important stuffs such as a mug with multiple pens and pencils,his laptop closed,a file about his last patient and also some glasses he never uses.

Then he sees at his left a mannequin he uses to practice taek-wendo. He practices it since he's twelve... and he handles it pretty well. After overlooking his office,he heads to his desk and checks if there's anything important to see. Then he grabs a comb from his drawer and brushes his hairs in front of the mirror on the wall. He smiles to it,making sure his teeth were clean like in the sitcoms. After doing that,he hears the door being knocked.

" Come in. " He says. Then the door opens and a big man comes in.

" Good morning. " The man begins,using a russian accent.

" Good morning,sir. How may I help you ? " The doctor says while sitting on the chair like a gangster.

" Well I would like to ask you something. "

" Of course,otherwise,why would you be here ? But first,tell me... What's your name ? "

" Kravchenko. Kenny Kravchenko. "

" Kenny Kravchenko... And what is your request ? A patient to heal ? A lady to operate ? Some candies for your throat ? "

" None of it... Actually I would need you for... something particular. "

" What ? Is this about the little team you wanna form. "

" I don't remember revealing my profession. How do you know about that ? "

" You are quite popular here... Viper. Former KGB,CIA spy,multiple infiltration missions. As soon as I heard your name,I made my researches. "

" Why would a doctor like you be in possession of such informations ? "

" As a CIA agent,you surely know the answer... " Then Luis gets up and goes to walk to the window,to look at the blue sky above them. He puts his elbow against the glass and his forehead against his forearm. " I am Luis Mendez. I am a doctor who lives his life peacefully. I got no particular history. But one thing can be said about me : for a confidential reason,I am the only doctor in the world who can heal anything. "

" That's what the guys in the agency told me. Even if I don't believe it easily,I need you in my team. "

" Will there be bonitas ? "

" Yes. "

" Sorry,not for me ! " Luis stands up and sits in front of his desk. " I have already a girlfriend. And we are very happy together. That would kill he if she found me with another señorita. "

" Trust me,most women in our agency are already married. "

" That is true... Besides,I don't realky know what I would win into this... And money does not matter for me. "

" Last month,four people died at the hands of professional thieves. "

" Yes,I heard about that. "

" Imagine that more people die. Hundreds of thousands of whatever... And only you can save them. Are you gonna turn your back on them... Remember your job. "

" Yeah,that's my job... " Luis responds,thinking. " Maybe I will come. Maybe I won't. You will have my answer soon enough. "

" If you're decided to come,meet us tomorrow at the frontier with Mexico. The government has prepared a base specially for us. "

Atlanta,Georgia

Red. All he can see is red. Everything he is looking at is red. He tries to move; his chest hurts. He tries to turn his head; he has lost a lot of stamina. He tries to speak; instead he spills blood to the air,landing on his vest. He looks at his chest... Suddenly he finds a bullet hole right into his chest. The bullet managed to avoid his bulletproof vest and pierce his heart area. Now he is pissing blood like a fountain. He tries to stop the bleeding with his both hands,in vain.

So he tries to get up,but his red vision prevents him from recognizing anything and his energy is getting quickly empty. So he collapses but still resists. He understands... There's nothing that can be done for him. He is shot to the heart,he is left for dead in the middle of a desert road and he got no phone with him. Plus his mouth is full of blood. The only thing to be done... is to die like a shit on this road.

So he lies on the floor and lets himself lose the last portions of blood... when he hears a car stop behind him. He quickly puts his hands on the hole and prays mentally that someone has come to help him. But he fears he might get arrested... or shot,who knows...

" Hey,there's someone hurt here ! " Despite his situation,he can clearly hear people talking.

" Wait... He looks like one of the thieves ! " Another voice reacts. " What do we do ? Should we finish him off ?! " The injured man tries to plead for mercy,but he spills more blood.

" Wait. He hasn't got shot by one of us ! Maybe he can be useful ! Let's help him. "

" Come on,buddy ! Stay with us ! You won't be left for dead by them ! "

A month later...

Inside one of the cells of the prison,the prisoner,alone,is doing some tractions. He is half-naked with only his orange pants and his black shoes. The man himself is pretty young,with a white skin,heighting into 6'4'',with mi-long brown hairs,short beard,pink lips,a tattoo to the neck (Angel and Demon) and a scar to the right cheek. He also added multiple tattoo on his back,with mainly symboles of hatred. The man,after finishing doing exercising,lands on the floor,gets up and puts his grey T-shirt back.

At that moment,a prison guard comes in and smashes gently on the bars of the door. The man turns around,curious.

" Ryan Paige. Someone's coming for you ! In the visitor's room. "

Arriving at the visitor's room,he is surprised to see that the person facing him... is not a familiar face. Instead,it was a big man wearing a military suit and with a weird choice of accessories. Being handcuffed right after he got out of the cell,he has no choice but to sit down in front of that man.

" I suppose you're not here to bail me out. " The inmate deducts,bored.

" Ryan Paige. You worked for Solomon Kennyson... "

" Sir,whatever you are... Please don't mention that fucking name... It's... It's taboo to me. " Ryan quickly interrupts the man,showing how much he is pissed to hear that name after a whole month.

" I understand. So that's why I am here. "

" To remind me how much that man fucked me up ?! "

" Don't be so negative. " The unknown man smirks. " Besides... I don't remember introducing myself. Where are my manners ? Kenny Kravchenko. But most people tend to call me the Viper. "

" Seeing you,they're right : you look as unpredictable as a snake. "

" That's my motto ! Anyway,you surely wonder why you are here,in this visitor's room,speaking to a piece of shit like me... Well,simply... You surely wanna get revenge on the man who brought you here... "

" NOT ONLY REVENGE ! " Understanding he has shouted,Ryan calms down,stays silent for a moment and restarts his monologue. " Not only revenge... Because you see,it's true that I actually want him to pay... But there's also one thing most people don't know... One of the thieves of last month... " After Ryan says that,Kenny,interested,gets closer with his chair to the table and puts his arms onto it. " Adam... Adam... I'm gonna remember... Adam... Edgar ! Adam Edgar... He is dating my sister. "

" And where do you wanna go ? "

" My sister fell sick five years ago,and the bad news is that this virus is really rare,so there's currently no cure existing. In order to solve that,we need to pay the doctor $1,000,000. "

" That's really expensive... Wait,the supermarket... Was it only to pay this cure ? "

" Yes... "

" But why didn't they pay the doctors already ? They surely already have those millions of dollars ! "

" That... I remain silent about the why. "

" Are you hiding something from me ? "

" Well... Imagine we're in a movie. If a tell you the plot twist right now,there wouldn't be a lot of interest watching the rest. "

" We're not in a movie. "

" Still,I won't tell the rest ! "

" After this interesting chitchat... Do you accept to come with me ? Careful,if you flee after getting out,I might have no choice but to kill you. "

" That would be interesting. But... I want you to promise three things. "

" Tell. "

" One : once you get the money,save my sister... Please. Two : When... When we will find Sol... That sonuvabitch... I want you... I want you to leave it to me. Whatever I kill him or not,I only wanna a face-to-face with him. Nothing more !

And three : Discharge Adam of everything responsability. My sister mustn't know that her husband has turned into a criminal only to save her. What's you response,now ? "

" I will do my best to keep those promises in mind. "

" Okay then... Just... Make me free ! "

" It's already done. " Just then a security guard comes inside and takes the handcuffs off Ryan's wrists.

" You already planned that I would accept ?! " He asks,shocked by the wild guess of the Viper.

" Well I plan everything. That's my work as a CIA agent. Now shall we go ? Or you don't wanna leave ? "
