I'm the fun guy. The one always quick with a joke. The guy who is crazy enough to do wild things to make people smile. That's how people see me. That's who I've presented myself to be. That's how I introduced myself to Rivet.

The first female Cerberus team member wasn't impressed with my corny pickup lines and wide smile like the other women I use it on. And why should she be? She's seen it all and lived to tell the tale. She took one look at me and decided she wasn’t interested.

I should move on, but her rejection stings. I can't seem to let it go. I can't get her out of my head. I also can't figure out if it's the chase I crave, or if this woman is someone special I've been missing in my life.

So that really only leaves one thing . . . Do I show her the real me?
