Drake

Drake was born into a particularly abusive and poor family, which made him more reclusive from most except for his childhood friends. Growing up, he was often the butt of the jokes due to his unfortunate looks. He was best friends with Sam, and Sam's uncle linked them up with jobs involving gang activity that paid well so the two of them could make a living on their own. Because of Sam always being ready to fight, people swayed away from cracking jokes on him.

As they started making runs, Drake grew confidence, but still remained quiet to everyone but Sam. One day, he overhears one of the high school cheerleaders from school, struggling to pay her electric bill, due to her single mother being a druggy and not being able to provide. He helps pay off her family debts and finally, he starts feeling loved and appreciated for the first time. The two become close, and Drake falls in love with her over time.

He eventually married the girl he met during his youth, and both of them have a daughter together. He stopped doing gang activity and decided to live a normal, legal life for the sake of his family, landing a job at MoleQlr with Sam.

Over time, the paycheck isn’t beginning to be enough with work hours getting cut. Sam decides he wants to start selling drugs again and asks Drake if he needs extra income. He reveals that he needs someone to do deliveries for him. At first, Drake declines due to his wife and child, but overtime he agrees to it, because the money is good.

Drake had remained distant from everyone outside of Sam growing up because of them picking on him in his early youth. But as he began to make deliveries to these same peers as adults, the barriers and stains of their actions began to fade away as he became their consistent delivery man.

An illness sweeps across the community causing the government to put everyone in quarantine. the illness impacts the masses, causing the hospitals to become overflowed, so much that the hospitals stopped taking calls. Sam still needs deliveries to be made and begs Drake if he can still make the deliveries. Drake denies putting himself at risk of being arrested and not being there for his family in this time of crisis.

However, Drake's wife becomes sick with the sickness that is affecting everyone and dies within the hour. Unable to call the paramedics, her body is laid in his bed.

Drake is overcome with immense grief, with only him and his daughter left. Drake decides to call the old man within the upper management that hired him and Sam on the spot originally at MoleQlr. After Drake tells him about his wife, the old man offers him his condolences. He then tells Drake about the serum that they are working on. He tells him that there are around ten total. Due to the amount of resources and time it takes to make them, they are only turning around one per week, per department, and they are given via management down. This means he would be one of the last to receive one, let alone able to give one to his daughter.

So as everything is looking, a lot of people within the plant will be long gone before they are able to get the cure. As of now, they're only offering two per department. Drake inquires about a hypothetical situation, asking if there were only one person left in the department – could the antidotes go to them and a family member? The man says yes.

From there, for the sake of him and his daughter getting the cure, he decides that he will continue to make deliveries for everyone through Sam that works within their department, and because of the quarantine and the electric going in and out, he'll use that as an alibi to murder everyone so him and his daughter can survive.

As time goes on, Sam is starting to be suspicious of Drake, especially because after every run he makes, no one is answering their phones. It reminds him of what they used to do as kids, where they’d break the phones of their victims so that they’d be untraceable.

To test his theory that Drake is committing the murders, after talking to Sheed and sending him back to his house, Sam tells Drake that they needed a delivery. Drake takes the tip and heads on to Sheed’s house.
