It had been several weeks since Alice and Claire had finally beaten Umbrella. And ever since then, they had been traveling around the world hunting and killing any and all surviving Umbrella employees that they can track down. It was about two weeks earlier that they had actually found evidence that their friends had survived Wesker's betrayal. It was only just a few days since the two women had located Leon and Ada.
They have fallen in love and they have a family now. And they live just outside of the U.S. Leon and Ada were happy to see them but they just wanted to live their lives. And that's exactly what Alice and Claire did. They left Leon and Ada's home, welcome to visit when they would be able to. Alice and Claire were standing in front of a building with used to be owned by the Umbrella Corporation before the T-virus was released all of those years ago. Claire looked over to her, she placed a reassuring hand on her shoulder in a sign of comfort.
"We will find her, Alice. I'm sure of it. I'm pretty sure that she feels the same way that you do." Claire said. Alice had been crushing hard on Jill since they had first met so long ago way back in Raccoon City. When she had thought that Jill had died after finding her again, freeing her from Umbrella's slimy grasp, only to lose her again had nearly killed her.
But when Leon had told them that Jill could still very well be alive, she was beyond happy and right now at that very moment, she couldn't wait to see the other woman that she had fallen so deeply in love with once more.
"Me too, Claire. Me too. Okay. let's go, then." She replied. They both pulled out their guns at the same time. They walked closer to the front door, Alice reached her left hand out towards the doorknob, she grasped it, she turned it slowly, opening the door inch by inch. She opened it fully a second or two later. She walked into the old building, followed shortly by Claire.
The door closed loudly behind them that leaves an echo that sounds throughout the front lobby. And both women continue their way inside until they reach the front desk.
There were various papers littered about the desk, among a few other items that could usually be found on a front desk of an office building. They quickly scanned their eyes over the desk looking for a map or anything else that could point them in the right direction to finding Jill.
Since the electricity was cut off, it had been for quite a while, both of them had brought flashlights with them and they quickly turned them on, causing the room to light up just enough to let them see far enough into the building so that they could walk around without bumping into anyone or anything.
They spent the next several minutes going from room to room looking for any signs of Jill. Leon had told that the last time that he had heard anything from Jill was that she was investigating an old Umbrella building. This was that building.
That last contact with Jill that Leon had was just a few days before they had found their friends alive and well. It had been an hour and a few minutes into their search that they found an elevator that goes down. To the last floor of the building, which was, in fact, the basement.
Since there is no electricity, they can't use the elevator. Not without any sort of power anyway. So both women glanced at the map that they had found on the front desk earlier, Claire herself quickly notices something quite interesting when she looks it over. A generator that can power the entire building and then some. The two shared a look and small smirk.
"If we find that generator and turn it on, we can use that elevator, possibly find Jill, we can get the fuck out of this creepy ass place," Claire said.
Alice nodded. She knew that her friend was right. She was just really worried and scared for the woman that she had a crush on.
They hurried down several corridors and that is until they found the stairs. Alice pulled the door open, the two women walked through the doorway.
Alice closed the door behind them, they both descend the stairs until they find the correct floor. She opened the door. It was a few minutes later, they found the room that the generator was in.
Claire pulled the door open and they both step into the room. Alice found the generator, she turned it on by pulling the lever that was on the side of the generator.
It took her a couple of tries, but she was finally able to turn it on, it rumbled to life, every light in the building turns on. They shared bright and happy smiles with one another. They exited the generator room, they made their way back to the stairs and back up to where the elevator was. Alice reached her right hand out to the elevator's down button, she pressed it with her index finger. A minute later the elevator doors opened, they stepped into the elevator.
Claire pressed the basement button. The elevator started its descent to the basement of the old building. Several minutes later, the elevator stopped moving, the doors opened, revealing an empty hallway that set the two women on edge. They walked out of the elevator with their guns out, aimed right in front of them just in case something dead and nasty tried to make them its lunch.
They continued to walk down the hallway until they were stopped by a dead-end. Or rather a locked door that was blocking their way from going any farther into the basement.
Claire looked at it closely, she let out a groan of annoyance at their predicament. She shooked her head as she tried to figure a way for them to get past the door. She turned her head to face Alice.
"We need to find a keycard to open this door. We should split up to find it. I know that we really shouldn't split up because it usually ends up with getting people killed, but I don't think that we have much of a choice here. I did notice as we were just walking down here that there are a few doors back the way that we just came from. One of those rooms just might have the keycard that we need to open this damn thing." She said.
Alice took a few minutes to think it before she decides on whether or not that they should split up to search for the keycard. She gave her a slight friend nod.
"Okay. Let's do it. I don't get it. Not one damn bit, but like you just said we don't have a choice." She replied. They shared a quick hug before they walked back down the hallway that they had walked down just a few minutes earlier.
They went through the various other rooms and they both spend what feels like forever looking for any kind of keycard that will open up the locked door. Nearly half an hour later, Claire finally found the keycard that they sorely needed to open up the locked door.
They walked out of the rooms that they were just searching. She walked over to her. She reached her left hand out towards her, she gave her the keycard, who gladly accepted it. She gave her a soft smile, Claire returned it with one of her very own.
When they finally got back to the locked door, they stopped. Alice walked right to the door, she swiped the keycard down the keypad slot. The door hissed open, they walked through the doorway, into another long hallway. They continued walking down the hallway for several more long minutes until they were stopped by another keypad locked door. They groaned out loud in annoyance once again.
A minute later a sudden idea popped into Alice's head. She reached out her right hand towards the keycard slot, she once again swiped the keycard, the door hissed open. The two women walked through the now open doorway and into another hallway.
They walked several more feet, that was until they reached a door that said, 'Stairs.' in large black letters. Alice grasped the doorknob, she turned and she pulled it open revealing just that, stairs leading them down farther underground.
They made their way through the doorway, they closed the behind them. Claire and Alice walked down yet more stairs until they reached the bottom of the stairs just about fifteen minutes later, they were met with another keypad locked door. Alice used the keycard once more to open the door, it hissed open just like the previous doors had and they walked through the doorway.
They continued walking until they saw a room with the name, 'Jill Valentine.' written on a silver nameplate that is nailed to the door. They share a look of surprise but it's also a look of happiness as well.
Alice reached out her right hand once more, she pulled the wide open, they were shocked and surprised at what or rather who that they had found beyond that last door.
