Chapter 2: The deal

East Potomac park, Washington DC

Manny was already in the park when John showed up, Manny was looking out at the Potomac River, a cigarette hung between his lips lazily as he leaned on the railing above the river. Although he tried to sound tough on the phone, he knew that Manny could kick his ass without even breaking a sweat. John was about five nine and barely broke two hundred pounds, his brown hair stuck up in several places and his blue eyes were barely open.

"John, you know about Raccoon City, correct?" Manny asked as he continued to stare out into the river and taking a puff of his cigarette. John shivered at the name of the fallen city.

"Yeah, it happened in 1998 that killed over 300,000 people if my numbers are correct." Manny turned around and had a devious smile on his face, dropping the cigarette to the ground and crushing it underneath his boot.

"Exactly, and if I remember right, you were one of the men responsible for the creation of the T-103, or Mr.X as you named it. John shivered again, the T-103 had been created and sent in to Raccoon City to recover the G-Virus but ultimately had met it's demise at the hands of Leon Kennedy and Claire Redfield, the city's two survivors.

"So, you called me out here to talk to me about the past?" John asked his annoyance obvious in his voice.

"No, I am going to make you an offer you won't be able to refuse." Rolling his eyes at the Godfather reference, John said,

"That being?"

"I want a T-103, and you are going to make one for me." Manny said casually. John's heart felt like it had stopped beating upon hearing the request, did he hear him correctly or was he still half asleep?

"Let me get this straight, you woke me up and brought me to the park at almost four o clock in the morning and now you want me to make you a goddamn tyrant?" John yelled.

"Si" John could not believe what he had just heard, after the first Mr.X had been destroyed, he swore to never make another one.

"You're fucking crazy, Manny, there is no way in Hell I am making a fuckiing tyrant, now if you don't mind, I'm going-" Manny's hand suddenly grabbed John's throat tightly and put his face dangerously close to John's, the frightened scientist could smell the hot nicotine filled breath of the aged Italian.

"Now you listen, and you listen good, it is now four o clock, if you don't have the tyrant ready for me by twelve o clock today, I will destroy your life and everyone you know. Do we have an understanding?" John nodded quickly and Manny released his grip on John's throat, John fell to the ground holding his throat and gasping for air, Manny began to walk away when John managed to say between gasps of air,

"What do...you plan...on doing with...Mr.X?" Manny did not respond as he left the park leaving John alone in the darkness of the park.

Author's notes: Sorry it took so long to get this chapter done, had to redo several times...I haven't played RE 2 or 3 in a while, so I am not sure if it was exactly 300,000.

In the next chapter Rebecca and Billy make their first appearance since Resident evil 0 and Leon as well...just can't get enough of him can we?

By the way...Si means yes in both Spanish and Italian...just in case anyone doesn't know...

Read and review plz...
