When I was a kid, I had a very brutal childhood when it comes to poverty; for 9 years, I went to foster care, but by the time I turned 10, I went back to my mother. However, it's better for me if I was in foster care and that makes me the only parental figure for my younger sister, Dana.
For the years I spent in foster care, my intelligence and aptitude in science really made me leave behind of my past, the past that I have troubles with. As years go by, I left Dana to live only with myself in an apartment at New York City. The truth is, I never give a damn about her anyway.
When I was 26 years old, I found a place where my scientific abilities are put to use: Gentek. From what I could read from the Internet, it's a company that specializes in viruses. I know what those things are; they're organisms that infect plants and animals, and also humans. When I was ordered for a job interview, I was sent to Director Raymond McMullen.
I could describe him as somewhat nearly old because he's 51 years old.
"So, Alex," said the director. "Why do you want to work for us?"
"Well, the truth is, McMullen," I said when I was about to reply to that question. "I wanted to know of how viruses can be created to destructive weapons. I get the feeling I could support the military this."
McMullen then said, "That's because Gentek is a partner of Blackwatch, a military organization that is kept secret for all these years." He then asks the second question, "What special skills do you have to contribute for us?"
That question has difficulty for my mind but only I could get the nest answer for this. "I can make a contribution to both Gentek and Blackwatch by turning a virus into a more dangerous entity. I'm sure of it."
McMullen is really impressed by this so he just asked me one last question. "Do you have any special relationships with anyone?"
He's asking me if I have any relationships to anyone. As far as I know, I don't so I just reply, "No, I don't."
"Very well, Alex, you went through that interview. Oh, and let me introduce you to someone," said McMullen as he shows me a woman coming to his office. That woman has blonde hair and looks fairly young. "This is Karen Parker, whom you'll be working with."
The woman then said, "Alex Mercer, pleasure to meet you," then she grabs my hand to shake hands.
I could come up with this best statement, "It's also a pleasure to meet you, Karen."
McMullen said, "Now that you two are acquainted, better start working."
Karen then gives me tour of the building. She showed be the laboratory floors from the bottom to the top, the laboratory rules, and my schedule of how I must work with. I will work on weekdays while I don't have work on the weekends. I guess that's fair enough.
"So, Alex," she said. "Ready for work in turning this virus in something more dangerous?"
As I looked at it, it's beautiful as it kept changing its structure. I guess it's not difficult in working with her on it.
"Yes, I'm ready," was the reply coming from me.
As 3 years passed by, I turned the virus into 10 times more dangerous and I give it a name, Blacklight. This really impressed Karen and McMullen. Guess they have found talent in me.
One day, I have decided to take Karen for dinner at night. I had taken her to this special place where there's pasta. After dinner, I wanted her to go to my apartment for an event she'll never forget.
Inside, we watched a movie that is about a man who is changed by the experiment he is working on.
"Alex, thanks for the night," said Karen. "Well, I guess I gotta go home."
As I approach her, I began to kiss her and feel her. That night, I have sex with her. This is the event that we'll never forget.
