CHAPTER ONE:
It was just after the crash. Carlos Olivera was carrying Alice's body out of the chopper.
" We need to get her out of here!" Carlos said.
" Yeah, but where?" Jill and LJ asked.
" No, don't!" Angie said but no one listened.
" I say we get a car and keep her in the back!" LJ said.
" No!" Carlos fired back," She saved our lives and we stuff her in the back?!"
He was obviously angry but there was no reason to be it was after all just Alice but she meant something to them. She was saviour at Raccoon City but so was Carlos with his moves and setting them free but mostly Alice.
" STOP!!!!" Angela screamed.
Carlos, LJ, and Jill turned to the little girl.
" Don't take her. We need to leave her." Angela explained," The doctors will find her and because she's important they'll reanimate her."
Carlos stared at Angela and knew she was right. How could someone so young know so much? he asked himself. He heard Cain at Raccoon City and even though he was a little bit uncomfortable with the jackass he was glad when Alice threw the man out of the chopper.
" Leave her." Angela repeared trying to reinforce her statement.
" At least, let's say goodbye." Jill said.
" We'll save her soon." LJ said to Carlos trying to make up for his offense as the man lay Alice's body on the rock nearby.
LJ just brushed the hair out of her face as a sign of respect for her.
" We'll see you soon." he said.
Angela gave her a kiss on the forehead," Thank you, again."
Jill was next and she held Alice's cold hand and stared onto the face of her friend. She wished she could remove the dirt that stained her face but they needed to leave," We'll come for you."
Carlos was the last. He came up to her in a shady sort of way. Jill, LJ, and Angela watched him. His voice was soft. The three of them didn't even hear him as he whispered to her. He stared into her blue eyes at first. They had life in them once, but she had given them up to save Angela and to think about any one of them in the chopper would have. But Alice and Angela were the only ones that saw it. He just heard a snap of something and a small shriek and when he turned he saw that the one of the loose supplies on the chopper had impaled her. He barely had seconds to let her death sink in before he was yelling that they were about to crash.
" Carlos!?" Jill called.
He leaned in close to Alice's ear," We'll be coming for you. I promise."
He gave her a slight kiss on the lips before running back to rejoin the others. Jill and Angela didn't seem to notice as they were walking a little ahead of him and LJ.
" You think no one saw that did you?" LJ asked.
" Saw what?" Carlos asked.
" Oh, please mother-"
" LJ."
" Carlos, all I'm saying was that it was obvious the way she smiled at you."
" I killed a man that nearly killed her."
" It's called saving her life, dude."
" It's-"
" What're you saying? A hero needs o be saved you know. By the way, what's the plan of getting her back?"
" I'm working on it."
LJ gave Carlos a sly smile," You like her?"
" Who Angie? She's a bright kid. Jill's nice, who wouldn't like her?" Carlos said diverting the subject so subject LJ was about to fall for it, but he caught it easily.
" Hey, I got you motherfu#er." LJ snapped.
" It's not going to matter now does it?" he asked," She's dead."
" Hey, nobody coulda done anything."
Carlos knew he needed to accept that. Alice made a choice and she chose to save the little girl that they had nearly died to save. But the thing was he- he was- He stopped himself from thinking those thoughts. Maybe she didn't feel the same way.
