You see, I thought that world had forgotten me. Forgotten us. For years we were left alone, and one day...we weren’t. It was only when I got there that I remembered the second rule: Trust no one.

My name is Mac Brennan, and that's the only thing I can remember about myself. Not why I woke up in a dumpster.

I just don't like it when girls get beat up; call me old fashioned.
