After going through a couple of pieces of bread and a canned curry chicken, the girl took out a pistol without hesitation. She pressed the gun against his forehead as he was shocked. She then tied him onto the chair and he deeply regretted his decision. Alex looked at her and a drop of cold sweat dripped down his forehead as he stared at the massive pair of boobs in front of him. Below her eyebrows were a pair of fearless-looking eyes, a beautiful nose, and a gentle mouth. She was on guard at this time and a pistol and a whip were held in her hands. He stared at her body and he felt his pants tight.
"Name.", the girl asked while she was wearing pair of jeans and a black leather jacket.
"Alex.", Alex replied immediately. She came near to him with a smile on her face which was quite intimidating.
"You are going to answer my questions. If you dare to lie, I don't mind creating a few scars on your lovely face", she threatened while touching his face with her whip.
"Okay.", Alex replied while nodding.
"Where are you from?", the girl questioned while she gazed directly into his eyes. Alex thought for a couple of seconds.
"I am from the north.", Alex lied to her without hesitation.
"Where did you find this cola?", she asked him while breathing rapidly and drinking the coke.
"I can't explain that.", Alex sighed and answered.
"Do you want to die?", she threatened while putting a gun directly at his forehead.
"Is this the way you treat your life saver?", Alex asked. There was a brief silence, and she let out a slow sigh while putting her gun away.
"Trust me. I have no harmful intentions.", she tried to negotiate.
"If I told you about it, it would make our life more complicated than it needs to be.", Alex replied vaguely.
"Complicated… hahaha.", she laughed with uncertainty in her eyes.
"How about we partner up? I'm new around here and I need a guide. I can pay you for the work generously.", Alex tried to lure her.
"Oh, are you from some organization?", she asked raising her eyebrows.
"No. I am from very far away. I'm collecting some useful resources and information for someone. I have many things somewhere safe like the food that you just ate.", Alex replied.
"I don't know what you are searching for in this city but you can't find food around here.", she said.
"Oh, what's your name?", Alex asked.
"Nicolette, and let me be clear, if the partnership involves anything strange, I might kill you.", she responded raising her eyebrows.
"Don't worry, I only need a guide, and do you think I lack food?", Alex said.
"What are you searching for then?", she asked.
"I'm searching for some of my people and technology.", Alex thought for some time and replied.
"Technology?", Nicolette asked with a confused face.
"Yeah. Just like your gun or computer, etc. We can't produce them so I came here.", Alex lied.
"You mean this laser gun and EP? You can't make them? Here a lot of people can assemble them.", she replied with confusion.
"That's only an example. Our technology in food production and transportation is highly advanced but other things are lacking that's why I am here.", Alex explained.
"Whatever. Now, let's talk about my compensation.", Nicolette shrugged and said.
"How do you want to be paid in.", he asked raising his head.
"Food, crystals, C-type battery are all fine but I prefer food. Oh, do you have more of that food?", she replied and asked.
"You already ate all.", Alex replied with a fake pained expression.
"Sorry. My salary will be ten cans per month and you have to provide me with food too.", she bargained.
"Ok. Deal.", Alex quickly agreed.
"I will guide you wherever you go and take responsibility for your safety.", she added.
"Alright. Can you untie me now?", Alex asked and she sliced the rope with a dagger.
"What should we do now? Should we get out from here?", Nicolette asked.
"Before that, you should tell me about the general history of the things that happened in the city first.", Alex asked.
"Why? You don't know about it?", she looked at him and asked.
"I know a little but you should tell me from the beginning.", Alex asked awkwardly.
"Oh, alright. What happened was…", she started to narrate the story from the earliest incident that happened in the city.
