## The Mission

Lily Ritter contacts you through the radio.

> "*Hello there, this is Lily Ritter again. I hope I'm not bothering you. I'm calling privately to ask ... well, it's about Mickey Wilkerson. You've been working with Mickey. What's your read on him? Can he really be trusted?*"
> ― Lily Ritter
>
>

> "*Well, he's still kind of an asshole ... but I think he's trying to change that.*"
> ― Community member
>
>

> "*Okay. I can't believe I'm saying this ... I think I need his help. But just in case ... I'd appreciate it if you could be there too. Hey Mickey, if you're serious about wanting to help, can you meet Ray at the church?*"
> ― Lily Ritter
>
>

> "*I can do that.*"
> ― Mickey Wilkerson
>
>

As you start tracking the mission on the Map screen, Lily continues:

> "*Thank you so much. I feel much better knowing you'll be there.*"
> ― Lily Ritter
>
>

Your first objective is to meet Ray Santos and Mickey Wilkerson at the Church of the Ascension. On your way there, Lily calls Ray.

> "*Ray, it's Lily. Just a heads up ... I'm sending Mickey your way to help out.*"
> ― Lily Ritter
>
>

> "*Mickey Wilkerson? I didn't know you were still in contact with him.*"
> ― Ray Santos
>
>

> "*It's a long story. Just trust me on this, okay?*"
> ― Lily Ritter
>
>

When you arrive to the Church, Ray greets everyone.

> "*Hello, Mickey. It's been a long time. And hello to you too, my friend. You remember Alexis, our local Network runner? She's overdue for today's delivery, and I'm worried.*"
> ― Ray Santos
>
>

> "*And you needed some muscle, so you called me. Got it.*"
> ― Mickey Wilkerson
>
>

> "*Lily thinks you're capable of more than that, Mickey. Our families have had their differences, but I'm willing to set that aside ... for her. You've worked with Mickey before. I trust you're willing to do it again.*"
> ― Ray Santos
>
>

You have the following dialogue options to react:

I'll go look for her.
(Add Mickey Wilkerson as a Follower)I'm sorry, I can't.
(Refuse mission)

If you agreed to help, Ray continues:

> "*That's a good idea.*"
> ― Ray Santos
>
>

> "*Well, shit. Count me in, too. Got nothin' better to do.*"
> ― Mickey Wilkerson
>
>

> "*Well... thank you, I suppose. Our runner's path should have taken her through Fairfield. I'd look there first. Good luck on this one.*"
> ― Ray Santos
>
>

You must travel to Fairfield with Mickey Wilkerson to find Alexis Carter. As you head out, Mickey starts talking to you.

> "*That guy always was a crafty old dog. Gettin' us to do the heavy lifting like this. Classic Santos move.*"
> ― Mickey Wilkerson
>
>

> "*You're really going out of your way to help out here, Mickey. What's your angle?*"
> ― Player
>
>

> "*I ain't got no angle. Damn, can't a guy just feel like being helpful?*"
> ― Mickey Wilkerson
>
>

As you enter the Fairfield region, you hear a distress call from Alexis.

> "*If you're hearing my voice, I need your help, like right now. My gun's empty, and my radio barely works. I'm at the top of the cell tower at the power station, in Fairfield. Please, I need help.*"
> ― Alexis Carter
>
>

> "*I know where that is. C'mon, let's haul ass.*"
> ― Mickey Wilkerson
>
>

Your next destination is the Damaged Cell Tower. When you arrive, Alexis notices you. She's up on the cell tower and surrounded by zombies. After you clear out the zeds, Mickey calls her down.

> "*Hey! I'm up here!*"
> ― Alexis Carter
>
>

> "*You're clear, come on down!*"
> ― Mickey Wilkerson
>
>

> "*You're a lifesaver! I had to ditch some of the supplies I was carrying, but I've still got Ray's medicine.*"
> ― Alexis Carter
>
>

> "*Medicine? Why does Ray need medicine? He got the plague?*"
> ― Mickey Wilkerson
>
>

> "*You don't know? I thought everybody knew. It's cancer, Mickey. Ray's got cancer.*"
> ― Alexis Carter
>
>

> "*What? That asshole is dying, and he didn't tell me? You know what? Gimme that medicine, and I'll deliver it. Me and Santos need to talk.*"
> ― Mickey Wilkerson
>
>

> "*Well, I guess you've come through for us before, so ... okay. Just don't make me regret this. Take care.*"
> ― Alexis Carter
>

The mission ends and Ray's Comfort in Numbers Enclave Benefit changes to Trusted Friends. You also receive 500 Influence as a reward.
