Arc back away as the man shot a blow to his gut, just missing him by a little bit. As the man did this, Arc grabbed his arm, and spun it around his back, now holding him into a submission. He twisted his arm tighter and tighter, but he felt a power pusling through the man. Something was different about the way he resisted, it was almost like he was holding back, but...

Jonathan shook his head and noticing that Arc's head was directly behind his, he reared it back quickly making contact with his face, forcing Arc to release his arm.
Jonathan then turned around to face the man, "You still don't know who you are messing with, do you? This is a fight you cannot win, boy!"

[Please pay no attention to the cursing near the last 5 seconds of the song]
"Im not fighting to beat you... Im fighting because its the only thing im good for!" Arc yelled out, and then rushed forward, giving the man two good punches to the chest. But they didnt even seem to phase him, so he went in with two more strikes, and then spun around for a roundhouse kick. But the man caught his foot, and pushed him into the wall, leaving him open for more damage. Arc shook it off, and quickly got back onto his feet. As his breathing intensified, he still didnt back down from him.

"My God, son...have you no sense? You would die to protect something that will not serve either of you in the end,"Jonathan asked as he stepped closer to Arc unfazed by the punches to the chest, as his kevlar stopped any of the impact.
"I will give you one last chance to surrender the vial to me," Jonathan stated calmly, "before I kill you both. I will not give you this opportunity again."

"If thats what she wants..." Arc spoke out between breaths, as he looked at the man directly face to face. He would stop at nothing to make sure Anna got what she wanted, even it it cost him his life. Because he was being paid something more valuable then money, he was being paid with friendship. Arc threw another punch at the mans chest with all he could, and then combo'ed with a knee front, pushing him back away. The man kicked him in the side, flipping him into one of the desks, as he hit the floor face first. Regardless, it seemed that whatever he did made no different, he just shook it off like nothing happened. Arc was getting more fuled and enraged to fight harder, and he had to fight stronger.
As the man walked over to finish him off, Arc sprung upward from the wall, smashing the man in face and broke his shades into peices as they fell to the floor. He felt the shards of glass embedded into his knucked, as he stared the man directly into his eyes, and saw them shine a crimson red. Arc saw the mans eyes, and was speechless, but he didnt let it distract him from the fight. The man was now furious with this, as he lifted Arc from the ground by the throat, applying pressure tightly around his neck. As he tensed his muscles to try and free up some passage for airflow, he managed to choke out a half of a breath for a few breathless words. "...For her..."

Anna watched with her usual apathetic look. She didn't really want Arc to get his ass killed, but she didn't want to pass up her open door oppertunity. Carefully weighing out the pros and cons, she growled.
"WAIT!" she screamed out, hoping to halt the man's attack. If he had what she wanted, she'd let Arc die. If he didn't, then she'd give it up.
If it is a vaccine, then one life lost could save millions. She could afford to let Arc die. As cold as it may have sounded, she had her priorities.
With a bead of sweat tracing down her brow she brought the vial out and held it tightly in the palm of hand.
"I'll f**king break it Then you can kill us both...but I'll give it to you on two conditions."

Jonathan looked at Arc before tossing him by the throat to the side and over a desk onto the floor. He then looked over at Anna, "You dare negotiate with me?"
Jonathan had to make her think that he wanted to vial, when in reality, he didn't care whether or not she broke it or not. He could always get another sample of blood from Alex, but Jonathan was now testing her to see how far she would go to get what she wanted.
She would make an excellent employee if Jonathan knew that he could trust her. He glanced down at his broken sunglasses and then to Arc who was now standing up and leaning on the desk, "What are the conditions?"

Anna let out a frustrated sigh. "Okay, first condition, you let him go. He's got nothing to do with why I wanted this. Second, you tell me what the hell this is? If it's a vaccine to the virus then you can kill his ass for all I care. I just want the vaccine. And you'll just have to attempt to kill me. If it' not then you can have it."
She looked into the man's eyes sincerely. She clenched her fingers around the vial and rubbed sweat off her face with the back of her hand.
"That's it. All I want...." she looked over at Arc. "Sorry kid..."

Jonathan smirked, "Firstly, I don't attempt to kill anyone. Everyone that I have set out to kill is dead. Secondly, that is not a vaccine, it is merely a vial of blood that contains the T, G and V Viruses. If it were to get into anyone's blood stream...death would come on swift wings."
Jonathan then stepped forward, "But if it is a cure for the virus you are looking for, I may be able to get you a sample, under one condition of course."
Jonathan was now using reverse psychology on this girl. He did indeed know where to obtain a serum that would slow the progression of the virus, for there was no such thing as a cure.

Anna, of course didn't trust him at this point. His smirk, his attitude, everything about him screamed, 'I'm gonna back stab your ass!'. Then again, she could be wrong...
She returned the small smile, letting him know she was interested in what he had to say. With that, she walked forward a few steps, her fists slowly unclenching.
"What are those conditions and why the hell are you walking around with this s***? You the creator? Or maybe this isn't really that important to you, is it? Surely if it was, you'd have killed us by now to have obtained it."

Arc leaned onto the desk, grasping his throat and swallowing, trying to take in as much air was he could. After about a minuit, he had opened up his larnex, supplying the air he needed to retain his normal breathing pattern. He would have contenued to stubburnly fight, if thats what Anna wanted, if that vial ment so much to her. But he was releived it came to an end, and he wasnt afraid to admit to himself that this man was obviously much stronger then him. It was almost as if he wasnt human, what gave that away was also his eyes. Arc looked at Anna once he heard the man words, what would she do? She was right, he would be dead if the man willed it.

Jonathan replied calmly, "It's importance is for me to know and for you to find out later. As for me being the creator...well, partially. I had some help, two other men helped me in that project but that was a long time ago."
Jonathan then stepped closer to her, now close enough to snatch the vial from her, if only he knew where it was, "Now...my conditions are simple. You give me that vial, and we'll pretend this never happened. I will then take you to the location of the cure to the T-Virus...but, why do you need it? You aren't infected. A family member perhaps? A lover? A friend? Someone that you care enough about to risk the life of your new friend over."

Anna's cheeks flushed a little as she let a small breath escape from her parted lips. He was partly right. Of course she wouldn't dare mention a name...she wans't sure who he knew or what he'd do to get back at her...
The ex-officer lowered her eyes for a moment. "I'm not infected, but the man I'm searching for might be, I'm not sure. I don't know where he is yet..." she trailed off. Suddenly she shook her head and pulled herself back.
"Take me to wherever the cure is and leave Arc out of it, then you can have it. I'm a woman of my word."

Jonathan smiled on the inside. Jonathan then nodded in comprehension, "Very well. Let's go then."
Jonathan then opened the door and motioned for Anna to move out of the doorway first just before he glanced to Arc and snarled. Jonathan was still angry at him for breaking his sunglasses, it was his finest pair, but once he got to the office, he would be able to get another.
"After you," Jonathan said looking back at Anna.

"Just a moment," she muttered, walking over to Arc and kneeling down. "Here," she said, taking her med kit out and passing it to him. She narrowed her eyes at him.
"There's not much left but it should be helpful. You stay here. Or go look for Jess. I'm gonna go with this guy...don't worry I'm keeping my guard up but...do me a favor....if you see a man...a man with messy black hair and darkbrown eyes, goes by the name of Richard...please..tell him I'm looking for him. Don't let him get hurt...." she whispered, standing back to her feet.
She turned back to face the mystery man and hesitated for a second before following after him.
"Alright, let's go."
