Dante leaned back and took a sip of wine.

"Dave, I don't understand why Giovanni is interested in you, or even how he knows you."

Zoe chimed in, "And I want to know why you spilled the beans to Mercy of all people."

"It's complicated," said Dave.

Samuel gave the others a quelling gesture then turned to Dave.

"You don't have to tell us anything, David. But the more we understand the better we can help you and work with your goals and motivations in mind."

Dave took a deep breath, "Before I started playing conquest, I was a filling station attendant, on the evening shift. I was riding my bike home after work one night when a drunk driver swiped me. The impact sent me flying and I was knocked out. When I came to a little later I saw the car smashed into a tree nearby and the engine was burning. It was late at night, no one was around. I dragged myself to the car and pulled the driver out." Dave stopped and rubbed his leg as he remembered.
