Erik Sundqvist, a NATO North Sea Patrol soldier came across Isla, You and Spike at an abandoned service station close to the Angel of the North. You were chased by a group of infected inside a building but luckily Erik saved Spike, his mom and you by opening fire. This ignited a build up of benzene, which killed the standing infected but spared the crouching Isla, you and Spike, on account of the gas being lighter than regular air.

Nevertheless, Erik assisted Spike and you in taking his mom to Dr. Ian Kelson. But after a few minutes they stopped in the middle of a valley for a little break on the grass. Erik lamented he would not be able to see his fiancé again, and darkly joked that he was now "pissing away" his life. Erik notices his cell phone is on 1% battery, and use it to look at a picture of his fiancé for one last time before showing it to Spike, Spike take the phone and raise an eyebrow while looking at the picture

"What's wrong with her lips? Was she allergic to something?"

Spike laugh a little before turning towards you next to him then he show you the photo of Erik's fiancé on the phone
