[color=darkorange][b]"Niko is insane. Once upon a time, when I was new to the BSAA, he was my commanding officer. Even then he was peculiar; his beliefs when it came to bioweapons were... extreme. Always had this idea that instead of trying to eliminate all bioweapons, we should take the technology and use it for the good of all mankind. He is not the first one to think this way, and he won't be the last, obviously. The problem is that everyone who ever tried has always succumbed to the virus. But I never expected that Niko would willingly infect himself... to actually infect himself. [/b] Damn him, damn him to hell. Price was angry; his men were dead, and even worse, he couldn't even do anything about their remains. This whole mission had gone sideways, and he had no backup to help him. Given a choice, he would have made sure to properly care for his men's remains and make sure that the area was safe again, especially after Sandoval was infected, but with Niko wanting Everson and that sedative only lasting so long, he could not afford to be anywhere near here when he could move again. This was not the way he conducted operations, but this was the consequence of going rogue. The truth of the matter was that Price did not have the support of the BSAA because of his investigation; he could not risk the higher-ups getting wind of his true intentions, so he could not bring others into this assignment without the risk that they could be part of the conspiracy.

[b]"We have to get as much distance between us and Niko as humanly possible; that sedative I shot him with is potent but experimental as well. It should keep him immobilized for an hour, but I've never had to use it on a person infected by the N-Virus to such a degree, so it could be more or could be less. There is no way to know, and I'm not sticking around to find out. If he wants you, then it's for nothing good, and given your history..."[/b] Price went silent as he approached what appeared to be a modified Humvee; walking up to the door, he opened it as he motioned Everson in, then climbed in himself and started the engine. He peeled out of the alleyway with gusto as he got on the road and sped up. [b]"So, first things first Miss Everson, what is that creature in your pack and tell me why its not attacking you or me...[/b][/color]
