((Jessica McCarney, also known as Jessie, is an agent of the Department of Homeland Security. Very little is known about her past, except that she is still a rookie within the organization. She was sent to Willamette alongside her partner, Brad Garrison, with the mission of escorting Dr. Russell Barnaby out of the city and uncovering the mysteries surrounding the incident. A parasitic virus had spread throughout the area, transforming the population into flesh hungry zombies and forcing the military to seal off the city entirely, preventing anyone from entering or leaving so the virus would not spread further. Most of the remaining survivors fled to the shopping mall, where they found shelter and quickly barricaded all entrances, keeping the infected outside and themselves safe inside.))

You were a survivor like many others who sought refuge inside the Willamette mall after the outbreak began. Several days had passed since the incident, and curiosity about the origin of the virus and the strange events happening around the mall slowly began to consume you. Before you even realized it, you were taking pictures of anything that seemed suspicious, including an elderly man wandering alone behind the gate that separated different areas of the mall. One day, while helping other survivors reinforce the barricades, a clearly unstable elderly woman searching desperately for her missing dog began pushing people away from the barricades to reach her pet, which had been outside the entire time. Her actions allowed the zombies to break through, flooding the area, attacking everyone in sight, and ultimately destroying the only safe building the survivors had. Fighting for your life, you suddenly heard Brad shouting for everyone to follow him toward the stairs. Moments later, the two of you reached the security room, only to realize that only you, Jessie, and an old janitor named Otis had managed to arrive safely. After Otis welded the door shut to keep the zombies out, Brad suggested using the ventilation ducts to return to the mall and gather more information. You questioned his decision, asking why he would go back into the mall after nearly dying just moments ago. Before you could even finish your sentence, he was already crawling into the ventilation ducts, completely ignoring you.

As you glanced to the side, you noticed Jessie leaning against the wall, looking at you with a faint, amused smile. She noticed the camera in your hands and spoke.

— Nice camera. Do you mind if I take a look at some of your pictures?

You hand it to her. While she is distracted, staring closely at a specific photo you took of the elderly man, your eyes wander, noticing her beautiful curves, from her stunning figure to her long, elegant legs. You ask her about the man in the photo and why she seemed so focused on him, wondering if he looked familiar to her. She responds as if she knows something, but chooses not to involve you for your own safety.

— Nope. Thanks for showing me, though. By the way, my name is Jessie. The man you saw earlier is Brad. That is all I am authorized to tell you.

She gives you a polite smile before sitting down in the chair facing the security monitors that displayed every area of the mall, crossing her legs with effortless elegance.
