The Turks: Vampire Case

The Turks: Vampire Case

Chapter 1: So it comes full circle

Shin Ra Complex

Monday December 13th, 2004

6:00 PM EST

The rooms of the Turk building were quite, no one was stirring, even though it was just now beginning to get dark out. The table with the plaid table cloth had no cards or food on it. The sink had no dishes.

Then, from outside there was the sound of an engine, it came closer, because the sound became louder. Then when it was real close, about five feet back, it stopped and was replaced be the beeping of an open door. Then the sound of jingling keys became apparent along with laughs and giggles.

The door that led into the kitchen swung open, Justin and Kerrie poked their heads into the room. "Well it looks clean enough." Said Kerrie looking back out on the other Turks. "What happened? I go out of town on my Honeymoon and you all pitch in and help?" She said with mock anger.

Justin pulled off his coat and hung it next to the door, "Being there with the perfect woman, I didn't miss this place one bit." Said Justin as he walked over to look in the sink.

"Well," PJ started as he stepped up to the door with his hands laden with luggage, "I see where we stand." He placed them next to the entrance to the hall. He walked over to the refrigerator and opened the door.

Beth came in the door with her purse and a small bottled water. John, Jon and Desiree came in behind her. Jon walked over past the bags and went down the hall towards his room. "How's the sleeping arrangement going to go from now on." Jon asked.

Kerrie looked over at him, "Well since there is an extra room left from Elena and Reno's move, we'll both move in there." Kerrie paused, "If the bed's the right size."

"Enough talk about sleep," John started. "Let's get some." He walked off down the hall to his room.

"They can't sleep until they move," Said Desiree.

"Well if it'll keep them quite..." Said John.

Within the next fifteen minutes all of the room switching had been made. The clothes and other objects had been moved easier than any thing else. Kerrie had more clothes than Justin and since they would need all of their dress clothes, then they moved them first to make sure they had room for them. After word they could move the rest of their clothes, they had more than enough room to fit them all.

Kerrie picked up her bag, Justin turned to her, "Let e get that," he said.

"You really don't have to, sweetie." Said Kerrie trying to make sure he really wanted to.

"No, really I want to." Justin told Kerrie.

Justin hefted the bag and his own and carried it off to the room. Kerrie came in right behind him and followed him through the room and into their room.

Justin opened the dresser drawer and then looked back at Kerrie, "Hey babe, want me to put up your things?" He asked.

"No I want them put up specially, I'll do it, Justin." She said bending down to retrieve a small quarter off the floor.

PJ came running into the door waving his arms.

"What's wrong?!" Kerrie asked she was taking PJ serious.

"I want to talk to Justin." Said PJ.

Justin kissed Kerrie for a second, then he whispered in her ear, "God must have spent a little more time on you." He said as he turned around and walked away.

PJ was already in the hall waiting, as Justin came out he walked over and shut the room door. "Did you tell Kerrie about the mission tomorrow?" PJ asked.

"It would break her heart that we have to go...do this!" Said Justin.

"Man, I admit it is strange, I mean if we hadn't been called by Fox Mulder to investigate some Vampire attacks, I wouldn't believe it." Said PJ.

"Given Mulder's reputation, I still don't. He is a little bit..." Justin did not have time to finish.

"Crazy?" PJ said.

"Well it's true." Justin said. "Hey look, I'll just go in there and explain to her I made a bad planning mistake." Justin sighed. "And then I'll pray to God she understands."

Justin walked back into the room and walked over to Kerrie, who was humming tunes and putting clothes away. He tapped on her shoulder. She turned around. "We need to talk, Kate." He said looking real serious. He went to the bed and sat down. "Come over here and sit next to me," he said patting the bed.

Kerrie walked over and sat down, he put his arm around her, "What is it, why are you acting so strange?" She asked suddenly.

Justin looked at her, "Kerrie, on the way home I found out that we have a mission tomorrow, there's some reports of Vampires."

"Vampires!" Said Kerrie, "We are going to hunt Vampires!? What about our date?" Said Kerrie.

"Kerrie, you know I love you, and I would never ever do anything to hurt you, but I was informed after the planning and it was all mistakes on my part, I'm sorry beautiful." Said Justin.

Kerrie wriggled out of his grip and ran over to the door she looked real upset. She ran out into the hall and out the kitchen exit. She went and got in the Suburban out front.

Justin stood up and walked over to the door, "Now I'm gonna feel bad all night."

The Highwind

Tuesday December 14th, 2004

10:46 AM EST

The old Airship had been completely redone. Beth and Dr. Gast had worked on the computers, so that the ship has perfect flying capabilities. The ship now broke the sound barrier with ease and had more than enough power to tow the smaller older model, now renamed the Wild Bronco.

The outside had been repainted, a nice glossy silver. And Cid's sticker of the naked woman had been removed. Of course every since John took it, it's been in his room on the wall. The deck had been refinished and more than one table is on it now.

As for the name, there was some talk about changing it to Big Bronco. But it wouldn't be the same.

More Mako Canons had been added they brought the total to two. But they had automated aiming and targeting, so now there was no need to be out there to aim it.

And now that Alice, the ship's computer was able to perform all actions better than a human, without any error of any kind, it was no job to take trips in the ship.

Desiree sat in the chair at the front of the tiller, she was the one Kerrie had left in charge. She was still not feeling well. But how long could sticking a wooden stake in a few crusty old undead dudes take is what Justin had tried to use to make Kerrie smile, he couldn't stand to see her like this, all sad and just plain old upset.

PJ was at the small circle where the computers surrounded him except for the small hole where he had come in. He was running a system check, the only thing that Alice couldn't do. He had not come across any problems thus far.

John came running up, "Hey man, find anything?" He asked.

"Nope, and let's hope I don't." PJ said still tapping at the buttons. "We need to stay in the air."

John looked as if he was just plain lost, he walked over to Desiree, "Hey! Where's that one chick, the one with the eyes and who just did that thing with that dude where they get the rings?" Said John pointing and waving his hands as he said it all.

"Do you mean Kerrie?" Said Desiree.

"I guess so...STOP YOU'RE MAKING MY HEAD HURT!" He yelled and ran off.

John was on his way out and down the hall as Justin came in with Kerrie, she was still not feeling good, she had been in her room most of the ride to their destination, Austin.

They should be there in about thirty minutes. And they had just left no too long ago.

Kerrie went to her chair in the middle of the cockpit still sobbing. She had some tissue and a glass of water next to her.

Jon came walking in and walked over to Desiree, "Hey beautiful!" He told her. He put his hand on her back. As they were about to kiss a loud melee of screams came from the hall.

"Ow!"

"That smarts!"

"No feet!"

It was John and PJ having one of their windmill arm fights where they swung their arms until someone was seriously hurt or just badly bruised, which ever came quickest.

Kerrie jumped up from her chair and walked into the hall to face them. PJ had John in a head lock and was beating him, she stepped in and was about to kick them until they stopped, but then she got a better idea.

She had become an expert with magic and summons. She spent time with her mother and aunt learning them better. For two months she studied the Certa and their ways. And right now it would pay off.

She put her hands together and closed her eyes like she was praying. Then she abruptly pulled her hands apart. As her hands reached the pinnacle of their journey. The two flew apart and hit walls of the hall at an extreme speed.

The two 'warriors' collapsed on the floor in lifeless lumps. Kerrie walked back towards her chair wiping the sweat from her brow.

"Alice," Kerrie started, "Take us to full throttle."

The Turks: Vampire Case ????? Case

Chapter 2: Nothin' But Love For Ya'!

Austin, Texas

Tuesday December 14th, 2004

9:06 AM EST

The Turks were just beginning to adapt to the area, and things were becoming more and more strange, of course for the search to begin above ground it would have to be after dark, but since there were many caves near the city of Austin they would have to try and pin point the exact spot by seeing the previous attack areas.

The city seemed to be emptier than normal (despite the fact it was the middle of the week). Usually more people wandered the streets. Austin was famous for it's rich Jazz culture and artsy architecture.

Since it was the capital of the second biggest state in the Union, the city had enough money to afford the best, what with taxes and all.

And there seemed to be constant construction and building. Trucks of dirt came and went from dig sites, as did the workers taking early breaks just so they could stand and watch their honest coworkers do all the hard stuff.

People walked to work on the streets carrying their food and brief cases. Men selling flowers on the corner yelling out to the passing populace, who were his only audience. He waved the bouquets and shouted out their advertising hooks.

For the most part the buildings looked like antiques, but most of the buildings were brand new and were just built to give the city an old timely look.

There were many eating establishments and stores to buy little gifts. The Turks passed the Pecan Street Café as they head through to the outskirts of town. They had left the Highwind back at the Shin Ra Complex in Austin.

John sat forward baring down heavy on the wheel. He held it with one hand as he leaned forward to look out and make the right turn. They were headed in the direction of Lake Austin. John looked to the back seat after making the turn.

"How's Kerrie back there?" He asked. It was one of the few serious things he had said so far.

Desiree was about to tell him when she thought the better of it, she just said, "She's fine, really."

A red light stopped them and John leaned forward once more to wait for the light to turn. He was behind a small Ford Mustang, the light turned and the car did not move. John put his head out the window and yelled, "Hey! Whatcha waiting for, a different shade of green!" John yelled.

The person in the car turned around and looked back, it was a beautiful woman with light brown hair and blue eyes.

John just stared, "Sorry, ma'am!" He yelled back blushing. He brought his head back in.

Kerrie was leaning against the window. She was still feeling bad, Justin was feeling that it was all his fault. He leaned over and tickled her right next to her stomach. She screamed out and then slapped his hand, "Stoppit!" She said.

PJ, who was next to Justin, looked at Kerrie and then put his hand on her shoulder. "It'll be fine." He encouraged her.

Kerrie kept in the same position. In the front seat next to John was Beth. She was drinking a bottle of water and trying to give John driving instructions. "Watch your speed...let up off the brake!" She would command him.

He would just ignore her or mumble under his breath. In the very back Jon and Desiree were not quite asleep, but they were real close. Jon picked his head up, "It seems like every trip we make we sit in the same places. Why is that?" Said Jon.

Desiree looked at him, "You know...you're right.

The Suburban pulled down onto a rocky road as it did it began to kick up a cloud of light brown dusty, the color of beach sand. They rolled past the lakeside and up onto a split road, one way continued straight the other went up. The road up was the way to go. That area was the center of the attack radius.

There were also many caves up there. There was a greater chance that the Vampires would need a dark place to stay and that they would return to their natural habitat, caves.

Up in the hills the terrain was hard and many dangers were apparent. There were rocks, and small fissures, and there was also the chance of avalanches.

The Suburban was built for tough conditions, and the cave they wanted was near the bottom any way. There was one cave that had been believed to be the cave that the Vampires resided in because of the loud sounds of screams and lights of fire had danced on the walls.

There had not been much speculation to whether or not the mountains were safe, after the first murder many people who had come there for years never showed up. The story did make national news.

The Suburban stopped, Beth looked back, "We might have to go on foot from here." She looked out at the rough mountain ground.

Justin peeked out at the ground on PJ's side of the truck. "It's only about fifty feet of a climb up to the caves, and then we bust some blood suckers." He said.

They exited the car, all save Kerrie. She had to be let out. She stumbled out onto the ground. "Ow." She said as she stubbed her toe.

Justin grabbed onto her so she would not trip. All Jon seemed to be worried about was them not being found to early. "This was suppose to be a surprise attack, Kerrie, don't yell out like that!" He told her. She was worried that everyone was becoming annoyed by her.

John and PJ ran up the side of the rocks and onto a small ledge. John helped Beth up onto the ledge by grabbing both her hands and pulling her up. Justin and PJ pushed and pulled Kerrie up onto the ledge. Then John and Justin got Desiree up there too. The last one up was Justin, he and Desiree got John up. Justin was easily pulled up by John and Jon.

Kerrie was sitting down on the ledge when he was pulled up. She was almost in tears again. He sat down beside her, "Hey look Kerrie, I'll make it up to you...we can go out as soon as this mission is over." He said. Kerrie looked up with a sparkle in her eyes and then hugged him.

Just then a voice called out from above, "Move yer' asses up here!" Said PJ. The last ten feet of the climb was an easy one. It seemed to be made for people to walk on. It was like a ramp. The group ran playfully up the hill. And then they saw it, the dark cave, their destination, was nestled in the rocks and had a small opening for entrance.

"There she be!" Said Jon.

Desiree slapped him, "Speak correctly!" She said. She was serious, she could not stand it when he did stupid things thinking it would be cute.

He held his face, for it was red and swollen. As he let go his cheeks were bloated and red. He looked at her, "What did you do that for!?" He said.

Beth came down between them, "Come on let it go, both of you!" He said. "We're on a mission, not a episode of Smack Down!"

"Wrestling Blows!" yelled Kerrie.

"You blow," yelled John.

She looked at him, "Take it back."

He stared back at her equally mad, "No!" He said. Kerrie was very dangerous when she was mad, her magic could make her hurt someone more than she wanted to.

She snapped her finger and in an instant there was a rough sound of a head smashed on rocks. John lay flat on his back and being squished as if some unseen foot were tightening down on him with every passing second. He could barely breathe let alone speak.

Even though Kerrie was using her magic to do this she had not broken a sweat. She walked up on him, he face was painted with anger. "Take it back. Now!" She said.

"Okay," he said with a heavy breath. "...okay wrestling sucks...it blows...big time." The pain stopped abruptly and he was left to regain his breath. He slowly climbed to his feet still gasping for air. "I'm fine...just peachy!" He paused to breathe. "I'M JUST FREAK'N PEACHY!"

A loud growl came from the cave opening ahead. A pair of red eyes glistened and the group froze at the sight of this creature. A Vampire.

Justin drew a long saber, Desiree looked at him, "What will that do?" She asked.

"It's silver, silver kills Vampires, DUH!" He said. PJ too drew a saber.

The group had always carried them but most of them had no clue they were silver and deadly to Vampires too. But now it was time to see. They all brandished swords of the shiny metal as they came up on the cave' entrance.

Justin lead the charge into the cave with a flash light in hand. He knew without the light he was at a great disadvantage. The creatures could most likely see in the dark with ample persistence. He held the light out front. And walked into the darkness. Kerrie clung to his arm, her saber aimed straight out. Jon and Desiree were right next to Kerrie. There sabers were down though. John, PJ and Beth hung to the side of Justin. All of them had the sabers out.

The cave smelt of stringent water and hard old rocks. Nothing could be seen because of the light being so poor. Bats could be heard off in the distance but not the kind of bats they were looking for. These, they heard were Fruit Bats.

Then in the path of the beam, something ran by, it had been in such a flash they had no time to see what it had been. Beth screamed and jumped against John grabbing him around the neck. Kerrie and Desiree jumped back and Justin took a shot with his gun.

Beth then realized that she was hanging off John Elledge and he just smiled as she could tell in the small amount of light. She blushed and said, "Sorry, it was just..."

"It's fine really." John said.

Then Justin took the light and traced the path of the object they had seen. He hit the face of a man and woman being covered by their hands. The man had dark brown hair and pretty much from what he could tell by the part that was not covered by hand, a flat chin.

The woman had red hair and was holding a small red hand gun in her hand. Justin and the rest of the Turks knew immediately who it was.

"Fox Mulder." he said calmly lowering the light.

"Justin Caynon, and the Turks." He said getting on his feet.

Desiree and Kerrie came up to the front and Desiree said, "I'm guessing that was you that ran by?" She said reassuringly.

"I was hoping to say the same to you!" Said Scully

Then the two women ran over to Beth's side. Desiree and Kerrie took in a sigh of relief. Then as they stood there Desiree felt a small pinch on her heel. She didn't even look down. "Jon, I know you're doing that." She said.

Justin shone the light on Jon, Jon shrugged and pointed at her.

She let out a scream as Justin aimed the light expecting to see PJ or John by her foot. Instead he saw a hideous creature that he recognized from five years ago. The creature had attacked Aeris.

It had bulging eyes, blood vessels that seemed to be erect. Some of his skin was missing and torn. He had blood dripping from his clothes and hands and was sitting over a corpse that had been ripped apart and...eaten from. The teeth of the monster were yellow and exposed well into the gums.

The worst part was the sickening and sad moan that emitted from the mouth of the creature.

Justin stared at it, that is a zombie, I'd recognize em' any where."

Scully's gun went up and three shots were fired, two on the upper torso one on the neck. The zombie fell back to the floor.

Scully lowered her gun and Desiree and Kerrie were to frighten to move. The zombie stirred and then got back to his feet, and latched onto Beth's neck.

The Turks: Vampire Zombie Case

Chapter 3: A Twist of Fate

Austin Mountains

Tuesday December 14th, 2004

9:24 AM EST

Beth had not been bitten, the zombie seemed to be threatening her more than meaning to harm her. He had his crusty hands on her shoulders and his mouth opened wide to take a bite of her neck.

Desiree went for her gun and in return got a nasty hiss of fear or anger, she was frightened into backing up off the creature. John was not as easily coaxed away. Beth screamed as John shot the zombie in the face, splattering blood and brain all over the cave wall.

The zombie flew back and fell against the wall, it let out a last moan with its hands outstretched at Beth's neck and collapsed lifelessly.

PJ looked at the lifeless form. "Well, someone got their daily dose of lead and I think they like the fiber!" Said PJ kicking the zombie over. Then from down the cave hall came a loud moan, much like the one of the dead zombie.

"Here come some more," Said Kerrie as she brought out her gun. But now it was apparent that the whole Vampire thing was the wrong way to think. It was the zombies doing it.

The group could barely see up ahead at that which they were aiming. But from the limping shadow of a human form with only one arm Justin was sure that it was none of his men. He took the shot, jolting the body of the. The zombie made no attempt to slow down.

As the creature got farther out in the open eight more came in behind him. They were attacking in number. And if this kept up the group would need more ammo. Jon, who still stood with Desiree and Beth, reached in his pocket and drew a small orb. It was green in color and had a small circular button on its surface.

Jon pushed the button and threw the orb in the middle of the zombies. A terrible brilliant flash lit up the cave and was gone, leaving the zombies on fire and stumbling to find a body. As the fire consumed their own bodies they were forced to die for good and they collapsed all in due time. The two who were closer to the bomb had been incinerated.

Mulder lowered his gun smiling, "A Flash Incinerator. Very Clever." He praised him.

"It's my specialty!" Jon Said.

John looked at Beth and smiled, "Are you okay?" John asked.

"Yeah, he didn't bite me. It just held my hand a little to tight." She said as she held out her swollen wrist that was all purple and cut near the thumb.

Justin walked over to Kerrie, "Hey, honey, why didn't you fire at all."

Kerrie looked at him with a look of solitude on her face. She sat on the cave floor and put her gun next to her hip. She just stared for a while. "There was something about that thing, I think I could read its mind when it was coming around the corner." She paused. "There was something about an Umbrella Corp. and experiments to make zombies, but the experiments went wrong or something, and then before I could get the rest you guys used the bomb on it."

Justin patted her back, "There's no need to read minds to find that out." He started. "The Umbrella Corp. made zombies while trying to make a miracle drug. The zombies were stopped but every time Umbrella would try again to make the drug and get the same result." Justin paused. "This means there's an Umbrella lab somewhere up ahead."

PJ had heard him, "But I think we have the man power, nor the supplies to go any further."

"But if we don't go then, then we may be able to clean this place out. We could waist every zombie in this place." Said Kerrie.

Jon looked about the dark cavern, "But we don't have the supplies."

Kerrie looked back towards the entrance, "Well then it's settled." Said Kerrie. She led her team out of the dark and into the well lit outside.

Beth came out next to John and PJ. She ran up next to Kerrie looking suddenly happy. She got to the side of Kerrie Justin was not on and whispered in Kerrie's ear. Kerrie looked back in John and PJ's direction. She giggled lightly, and said, "You're kidding me, right?" Said Kerrie smiling at her friend.

"No I'm not, I think it's true. And I need your help to find out Kerrie." Beth said.

Kerrie was so excited, "I hope for both of your sake that it's true. Two weddings in two years, this is so exciting!" Kerrie said clasping her hands together.

"I don't know Kerrie, John and I going out, that would feel...odd." Beth had paused after the first section of her statement. She looked at her hands as if she expected them to move on their own.

Kerrie stopped and put her hand on her friend's shoulder, "Well...if we never took risks, where would we be now?" Kerrie asked.

"At home, in bed with our precious things." Beth said smugly. She walked off from Kerrie, and then turned back after getting almost back to the ledge, "I'll tell him how I feel in the car, okay, by myself."

As the group slowly climbed back down the mountain, sometimes having to boulder their way across the mountain face. Sometimes rocks slipped and the team would have to pull each other up.

They reached the flatter ground and could see the Suburban not too far off. The crew walked down to the car, Justin took the front seat, with Kerrie in the passenger. PJ was coaxed into the back with Jon and Desiree. And in the middle were John and Beth.

There was a funny look passed between them and they knew what was going on. As Justin turned the key, Beth was looking over at John. She smiled crookedly and looked down at her feet, once more trying to find an object to take her attention off the matter at hand.

She moved her hand to his shoulder, John seemed very uneasy at this point. She looked up at him, "John, we've been Turks for two years now and...well there has been something on my mind for the last month or so..." Said Beth.

John looked at her with the most serious look on his face he had ever had since joining the Turks. He opened his mouth and started to say something, he thought for a second and took her hands in his, "I've felt the same way." He said.

PJ's head came up between them and above the head rest. "Does anyone have a stick of gum?" He asked. Beth and John looked at him wearily. Then he was yanked back into his seat by Jon and Desiree.

John could see that Beth had lost her courage on the first statement, he decided to take charge of the whole thing. "What I'm trying to say is, will you give me the honor of going out with me?" Said John.

Beth looked at him and then thought about what Kerrie said about risks and about how they were needed to get through life. She looked directly at John, "...Yes!" She yelled with a huge smile on her face. The rest of the passengers clapped and cheered.

Kerrie clasped her hands and said, "How romantic!" She voiced.

Desiree smiled and pulled her fingers through her hair and said, "This is a day to remember!"

Justin slowed down and then came to a stop in front of the light. He reached back and gave John a high five. "Alright John, you got the last girl in the Turks!" He said.

"And the prettiest," Said John.

10:03 PM EST

The room setup was simple this time. There was two rooms. One with couch beds and a mini kitchen, the kind of kitchen that a small low budget New York apartment would have. The other room had two queen sized beds. The sleeping arrangement would be simple. Justin, Jon, Kerrie, and Desiree would sleep in the room with the queen sized beds.

All of them climbed into the beds without protest. There were no fights. PJ, John, and Beth slept in the same bed and put out like lights. Kerrie, Justin and Jon and Desiree stayed up and talked.

"If this goes good with John and Beth there could be one more married couple in this group." Said Kerrie.

"This will be the most interesting relationship we've had here, ours has been there for almost ten years!" Said Desiree.

Jon looked at them both, "You think this is good!" He his eyes were wide with surprise, "The last thing we need is more flirting and grouping going on in the Turks!"

There was a silence, then Justin came out with it, "As far as I'm concerned it's none of our business."

Kerrie rolled over in the bed and looked at him, "I guess your right. It would make more sense that we stay out of this." She said.

"No it is our business!" Said Jon, they could not see his face but by the tone of his voice. "If for some reason they cause one of us to get hurt or...worst..." He was cut short by a kick from under the covers by Desiree.

"I hope they fall in love and get married!" Kerrie said again.

"I really have nothing more to say." Said Justin.

"I have nothing you'll listen to if I say!" Said Jon.

Desiree looked at him in the dimly lit room, "You're heartless." She said turning to face away from him. She drew the covers up around her body and began to go to sleep.

Kerrie looked over towards the other the bed. "Jon, you better apologize!" Kerrie said in an instant.

"What for my opinion!?" He said in a half, question half statement form. He stood up out of the bed and grabbed up the pillow he had been laying on and walked out the door to the main room. He slammed the door behind him.

Kerrie walked over to the bed and gave her long time friend Desiree a hug, "It's okay Desiree, tomorrow everything will be normal, you'll see." Kerrie said encouragingly.

Justin joined in from the conversing from the other bed, "John always said he couldn't stay mad at you." He said to Desiree to follow up Kerrie's comment.

Kerrie and Justin kissed and then pulled the lamp string to turn out the light and gave Desiree a final goodnight, and went to sleep.

The December Skies were clear and the air was cold as out in the parking lot a woman stepped out of a red Firebird GT. She stepped over near a dumpster at the edge of the parking lot and was surprised to see a man on the ground digging in something.

She stepped forward, her black hair glistening in the moon light. She tried to get a closer look at what the man was doing. He seemed to be digging in the trash. She then asked, "Sir, is there a problem?"

The man turned to reveal two bulging eyes and blood stained clothes, his mouth and teeth dripping with the blood and flesh of his victim.

The hideous creature slowly rose to his feet, the woman screamed out, "No!" She started. "Stay back!" She turned and ran, her feet carrying her openly over the parking lot. As she neared the door to her car, she could see more of the dark creatures standing near her Thunderbird. Then she suddenly saw that she was surrounded.

A terribly sad moan rose from the mouths of the monstrous fiends. They closed in quickly, the looks of hunger on their pale and decaying faces. Some of them wore ragged clothes that showed they had been police, doctors, but mostly bums. All in all there was at least two score, the woman had no chance.

As the creatures came in for the kill, the woman got reckless, she drew a can of mace, and fired it into the face of the closest tyrant. This caused the thing, that at a closer observation appeared to be a zombie, to dive upon her, his weight forced her to the ground. She was trapped under his mass.

Then he took her arm, she began to scream and wail, the other zombies grabbed a spot where they could get one and began to attack the flesh of the woman. Blood shot onto their clothes as the ripped her apart limb by limb, piece by piece. Now as they got tired with there pray, they all rose and went to find more.

Wednesday December 15th, 2004

7:12 AM EST

There was a sound of like a police car siren, but then there seemed to be more than one of them, maybe ten or twelve. Kerrie was still abed and for the most par sleep. Justin too was in the bed, but was wide awake because of the sound.

Jon burst in the room door, his eyes wide with anticipation, "There's something going on out side, it looks like a murder scene!" He said.

Justin was up he jumped out of the bed and started to dress. Desiree did the same. After about ten minutes Justin came and woke Kerrie. "Wake up sweetie." He said. She was quickly roused.

After that he Jon and Desiree proceeded to the next room. Kerrie was still getting dressed. She came running out and was still combing her red hair.

Beth and John stood next to the couch bed holding hands PJ who was next to them seemed disgruntled. Desiree walked over and nudged him, "What's up you want a girl too huh?" She said with a smirk.

PJ looked over at her with a look of wonderment on his face, "What..." he started. Then he realized what she thought, "That's not it, in the bed Beth thought I was John and squeezed my butt!" He said.

John was still by Beth as he said, "Uh-oh!"

There was the order from Kerrie to move out, and then the group all headed for the door. They took the elevator down to the first floor. As they stepped out there was a sense of evil in the air.

A look on Kerrie's face showed her confusion and then as if in a sudden she sensed something, "Someone was killed here." She said.

The Turks quicken their pace as they headed for the door. As they exited the hotel there was yellow police tape around the parking lot, a police officer came over to them, "I'm sorry you'll have to exit through the back parking lot." Said the cop.

Kerrie reached in her pocket and retrieved her wallet and flipped it open to show her identification. He waved his hand to let them pass, and then a second guard let them into the roped off area.

There was a crowd near the end of the lot, a circle of cops and police dogs. There was the sudden astonishment of seeing something more gore filled than they had ever in real life, there on the ground was a dismembered and half eaten corpse. Kerrie buried her face in Justin's shoulder upon seeing the sight. Beth covered her eyes, and Desiree just screamed out.

The boys just stared at it with a fear of exactly what it was, they could see that this might have been the work of on of their so called 'Vampires'. Then John bent over to look in to the woman's half eaten face. There was a sharp reprimand from behind him, "Don't touch it!" Came a woman's voice. John turned to see Mulder and Scully, who was putting on gloves. "There was some kind of disease found in its blood." She continued.

John stepped back, and then there was the look on their faces of wonder, was the killing always this bad. The woman was there, her stomach ripped open and blood spilling out all over the ground. Scully's hands probed over the body checking the teeth, all of the flesh wounds and then she reached up to the head and pulled open on of the closed eyes.

The crowd was in awe of the gory scene that was unfolding. Then there was a moment in which Scully stared into the eye which she held open. Then the pupil moved down in a quick fleeting motion. Just as she realized it she went to step back and before she could the hand of the corpse shot up from it's side and caught her arm.

Scully broke away and stepped back pushing the Turks and Mulder with her. The zombie stood to its feet and began to limp slowly towards them. Some of the cops drew their guns, others were too startled to do any such thing. The cops fired and their bullets seemed to barely graze the zombie, every clean shot just seemed bounce right off. "What the hell," said one of the female cops.

"That was a clean shot, Susan!" Said another.

A loud shot rang out and the zombie fell off its feet and her head was splattered on the ground. Justin had been standing there without his gun. Then from the top of a car came a loud yell. It was a yell of hate and anger.

A tall brown haired man jumped from the roof of the Suburban, he held a shot gun, and had on a black tuxedo. He looked at the Turks. "Long time no see, Justin." Said the man.

"Well, Cody, it seems that you have come back to finish off an old job and lost your aiming skills." Justin said.

Kerrie grabbed onto Justin's arm, "Please don't go, honey!" She begged.

He shook her off and walked over to Cody, who in turned dropped his weapon, Cody looked cockily at him, "I was aiming for, Kerrie." Justin threw the first punch that landed between Cody's eyes. There was a horrendous crunch. Cody took the blow and countered it. Justin was punched in the stomach. Justin staggered back.

There was one small problem, Justin was near a thirty foot drop off and Cody had him trapped. Then as his feet reached the edge there was a sudden thought in desperation. Justin took the cheapest shot he could, by kicking Cody's groaning. Cody staggered back from Justin. Then in one swift motion Justin ran forward and flipped him off the drop off.

Justin looked behind him and Cody was hanging on the edge. Justin bent down and grabbed his hand, "Tell me why we're gonna kill you?" Said Justin.

The rest of the group gave him the choices:

"1) Because we've been violated by you," said Kerrie.

"2) Because we have nothing better to do," said Beth.

"3) Because we are sure we're gonna win," John said.

"4) Because we're afraid of you," said Desiree.

"5) Because we're completely clueless," said Jon

From the ledge where Cody was hanging he yelled back up, "Two, two! No, Three!" He said fearing for his life.

Justin let go of his hand to let him hang on his own, then he looked back at PJ who rubbed his bald fade hair cut and said, "Wrong, secret answer choice number six, it's our job!" Then Justin slammed his boot down on Cody's hand letting him slip off into the watery grave below.

There was a splash as Justin walked back and kissed Kerrie on the lips. The rest of the group just watched clapping.

They all walked back over to the zombie, "Desiree and Scully," started Kerrie. "I need you to go to the Shin Ra Complex and perform the autopsy, the rest of us will take the Highwind on zombie patrol." Kerrie finished.

The Turks: Zombie Case

Chapter 5: Running the Gauntlet

Marriott West

Wednesday December 15th, 2004

7:30 AM EST

Link's hands slid down Juliet's bare back, he kissed her on the neck, Juliet just pulled away. He pulled her back to the bed. His big muscular arms wrapped around her. He looked at her with anguish, "What's the matter sweetie?" He asked.

She covered her chest with her arms as she stood and walked to the bathroom. She did not look out as she said, "Link, I'm just thinking that if we had another child that…Hope…and there's the…" Juliet paused. "Oh Link! I don't know what to do!" She said. Juliet dropped down into the sink crying. Tears streaming openly down her beautiful face as she continued to cry.

Link pulled up his pants and stood, "Juliet…we are not warriors any more," Link tugged his pants up. "I wear a suit and tie now. We run a country. There is no more of this war with Ganon."

Juliet came out of the bathroom without her clothes, "Are we really safe!?" Juliet yelled. She walked over to the side of the bed.

Link grabbed her around the waist and tugged her down putting her on the bed, he then put his body on top of hers, "Don't worry about it honey…it'll be okay." He rubbed his head against her chest.

She moaned in pleasure. "Can anyone see us?" She asked.

"Of course not…we're on the thirty fourth floor!" He said bringing his head to just below her neck.

She started to remove his pants but then looked towards her right and snatched the covers back over herself. She seemed started and upset at once. "Those fucking assholes!" She said.

Link looked to see what it was. There outside was the Highwind's Deck with PJ on it yelling into a megaphone. He smiled as he saw he had been noticed, "Don't mind us, continue having dirty sex!" He said.

Juliet jumped from the bed and yelled in her English accent, "You dirty Bastard!" She threw a pillow at the window.

PJ looked at her, "Now that you're good horny and naked why don't you get dressed and come out here on the porch." He said.

Link already had his pants so he just slipped on the rest of his suit. Juliet stormed off to the rest room with her dress in hand. She emerged with a silver low cut dress on and two green earrings. She stepped into the middle of the room. Link looked at her, "Are you ready sweetie."

"Yes," she said. She stepped past Link and out onto the porch. Link ran up behind her and then stood to help her get onto the Highwind's Deck. He then jumped over to the deck and stood helping her to get her balance back.

Kerrie stepped out onto the deck pushing her long red hair back down on her shoulders. She stepped right up to the group, "Hello Juliet, Link. How are you." She asked.

Link looked at her, "Hello…how's the marriage," said Link. He cracked a sly smile. "Do we hear the pitter patter of little feet?" He asked laughing.

Kerrie smiled and looked around nervously, "Well…not yet…" she said. Her hands went behind her, she seemed more jumpy by the second.

PJ leaned over to Link and said, "Bad thing to say, she gets nervous when someone talks about having kids, she really wants some." Said PJ.

"Oh," Said Link.

Kerrie just turned around and darted inside the Highwind. Link and Juliet just followed in after her slowly. PJ was the last one. He closed and bolted the door.

Austin Medical Lab and Testing Facility

Wednesday December 15th, 2004

7:30 AM EST

The autopsy room of the lab was being put to full use. Although it was dark and cold as a meat locker, there was always a certain dead feeling to it. The way you feel standing in a grave yard minutes before midnight.

There was still much out in the room. Instruments for poking, prodding, and cutting sat out on a metal tray next to the operating table. A small snake light and a play back voice recorder were among the instruments on the table.

The badly decaying body of the zombie that had attacked the woman in the hotel parking lot lay on the metal bed. It's shirt was now off and the raw skin of the bare chest showed signs of some type of infection. Not that it mattered, pulmonary observations showed that this man had been dead for a good two days.

A red headed woman came into the light with her mask over her face, she walked over to the body. She looked back towards the light pouring from the door to the hall. "Are we sure this one's dead Desiree?" She asked.

Desiree pulled back her dark brown beautiful hair and put it in a pony tail to keep it out of the way, "It would appear so, Scully, the head shots seem to handle them best." She said pulling up the mask.

Desiree walked over to the side of the zombie where Scully stood. They both looked down at the gruesome beast that had once been a human like them. "Well, shall we get started Doctor Perez?" Asked Scully.

Desiree took her gloved hands and place one at the top of the of the forehead. She then placed her thumb on the eye lid to pull it open. She slid her finger across the skin to pull open the eye. Scully talked into the tape recorder as she watched, " It appears that the skin is…"

Before she could finish the eye lid broke off and fell to the floor, revealing more dead and decaying tissue underneath. Scully finished with a sigh, "…very brittle."

Desiree looked back and she could see a kind looking man at the door, he had black hair that was spiked back. She recognized him. She pulled her gloves off and walked to the door throwing them in a hazardous waste bin. She opened the door, "Well, Doctor Scyther good to see you again," She said.

Scully looked over from the table where she continued the work, "You were here as a Med Student, right?"

"Yes..." said Desiree with a smile. "Doctor Scyther how are you?" Asked Desiree.

He looked nervous as he said, "What the fuck did you bring to that lab test?" He asked.

"It was just blood…what happened?" She asked.

Scyther sat his lab report down for a second, "That jerk off Spencer was carrying it and spilt it on his skin. The tissue suddenly decayed, right after he spilt on it!" Said Scyther.

"Amazing!" Said Desiree. "But is he okay?" She asked.

"No," said Scyther. "Anyone not wearing a decontamination suit is rapidly decaying. I had one on. They have began to go insane!" He said.

Scully pulled out her gun, aiming it down the hall, "There's one of them now!" She said. The trigger was pulled and a hole burst out of the man's head. His body fell to the ground with a thud.

Doctor Scyther ran to a red exit door. "This leads to the parking lot!" He yelled. He rammed at the door. The wall shook a good bit, but the door didn't move. He hit again. Nothing.

Desiree and Scully ran over stripping out of their examination clothes. The doctor zombies were in the room now! The slow moving walking dead had a hard time maneuvering the room full of instruments. They were getting real close as Desiree and Scully tried to break the door.

The first hit had the same result as the previous ones, nothing. But with a lot of luck some of the zombies stopped off by the zombie that was still on the autopsy table. They dug their raw skinned heads into it's body eating fully. Bloody parts of the body flew up and fell to the floor as the feeding frenzy continued. But there was not much of the body left on the table. Desiree, Scully and Scyther hit the door again. Thank God, it budged.

But just as the Zombies heard this ramming sound they turned back to their original prey. The group of zombies made better time on this side of the room, there was less clutter. And what was worst was that including the five at the lead there was about ten separated out behind them.

The door was rammed one last time and it burst open in a melee of clangs and sparks from the electric locks. As the three landed on the ground outside they quickly regained their stances. Desiree's hand flew into her pocket and remerged with a hand grenade. She threw it into the middle of the room and they all darted off together.

The explosion was horrific, one zombie who had been near the door was blow out into the parking lot. The building itself had been damaged by the explosion. Broken glass and metal littered the streets.

Scully looked over by her car, the little golden Ford the FBI gives. (piece of crap really) She walked Desiree and Scyther to the car and tried to make small talk at the same time. "So, Scyther, I really didn't catch your first name…"

"Julian Scyther." He said.

"Dana Scully," they shook on it. Scully unlocked the car using the remote. Desiree and Scully took the front, Julian took the back. He looked up towards the two ladies, "Where to now?" He asked.

"Well," started Desiree. "We can always head out and meet the Highwind at the landing pad by airport." Scully started the car and they drove off towards the airport.

The Turks: Zombie Case

Chapter 6: Bathroom Battlefield

Austin International Airport

Wednesday December 15th, 2004

8:06 AM EST

The Highwind came down like a Jump Jet, straight onto the runway. And there waiting for them was Scully and Desiree. Kerrie came running out of the Highwind her hair blowing in the strong winds. Justin and John were out next followed by Beth and Juliet who were walking slowly and talking.

Desiree then saw Jon and Mulder come out, She ran to her husband and wrapped her arms around him, "If I see one more fucking undead freak I'll scream!" Said Desiree.

Jon laughed as he listened to her. He then looked over at Dr. Scyther, "Who's he?" Asked Jon.

Scully answered, "That's Dr. Scyther, he found out something about the zombies." She said.

Dr. Scyther spoke up and the Turks slowly gathered around, "It appears that if the chemical found in the zombie's blood is extracted and spilt on your skin you began to decompose rapidly in body and mind." Said Julian. "Luckily none of it got on us…but I'd advice you not to be bitten or scratched by any of those walking freaks…" Dr. Scyther didn't get to finish a scream came from inside the terminal.

The Turks took off, with PJ in the lead, towards the terminal. They reached the steps as people began to pour down them, there was no way to get up there with that many in the way. Suddenly PJ had an idea…he ran to the side of the stairs where the rails going up had Xs between them for support. He began to climb up the side with a quick speed the rest followed him. Link helped Juliet who he could tell was becoming disgruntled.

As they reached the top they were able to fight their way inside past the fear stricken people. Justin and Mulder drew their guns first, followed by Desiree and Beth Kerrie was hesitating for some reason. Justin looked at her, "Kate, you might need a gun." He said.

"No…" she started, "I want to read their minds to find out first." She said.

As they entered the empty terminal what ever had happened or had scared them was not there. Beth how ever seemed to still think it was around, so she stuck close to John. Kerrie and Desiree were no where near there husbands. Kerrie went off towards the wall near the door they had just come in. Desiree made it aware to everyone that she was headed to the bath room.

Kerrie went around the corner slowly with her gun still not drawn. She stepped in a puddle of something. She looked down only to realize that she was standing in a puddle of blood. She looked ahead further to see a head on the floor. The face was frozen in a look of absolute terror. Justin and Jon came up behind her, "Looks like some one didn't run fast enough…" Said Jon.

Kerrie looked at it closer, "Looks like the heads been twisted off."

Justin said, "Look at this trail of blood, it leads right up the wall…" He followed it with his finger. "And right into the…" Before he could finish there was a loud scream from the women's restroom.

"Desiree!" said Kerrie.

Inside the restroom Desiree had just about gotten ready to go crazy, I can't use it with that damn dripping! She though. She walked all over the rest room looking in each stall. She reached the last stall just as Justin, Jon and Kerrie came in the door. She opened the stall and was greeted by a puddle of blood on the toilet seat, after about five seconds a drip fell. She looked back at John, Justin and Kerrie. "Excuse me." She said.

She then looked up and screamed. On the ceiling was a hideous skinless creature. It had two long clawed hands and two long clawed feet. It's teeth were long and claw like and it's eyes were set in his head like claws slanted upwards. Blood dripped from it's sharp teeth as it hung there.

Desiree stepped back about two steps and then the monster fell from the ceiling flipping over in 180 degree angle. He landed on all fours. At this point all guns but Desiree's were out. She was simply too scared to fight. The thing launched off it's feet into the air, one claw back to take a swing. Jon jumped in and hit Desiree just in time but was scratched down the leg by the thing's feet claws. The arm claw hit the wall above the sink knocking all the tiles loose and onto the floor.

Justin and Kerrie shot the thing with one click from each of their guns but even fifteen bullets didn't stop this thing. The other fifteen didn't slow it down. The creature was angry and turned on them. He did his same jump, but this time there was not time to move. He got about a foot from their faces then there was a loud whistle followed by a cloud of smoke. The thing exploded in mid-air.

Justin and Kerrie turned around to see two people, one of which Justin recognized. One of them, a man wore a blue vest with the acronym S.T.A.R.S. on it. He had red hair and a light goatee. His hair was spiked up, almost like Reno's but not quit as high. He had black pants and held an exploding shell launcher. There was a crocked smile on his face.

There was woman with him, she had brown hair and gorgeous blue eyes. She wore a short black skirt and the same blue vest. She held the shells for the gun. She was a beautiful woman around the age of most of the Turks. She could not be any older than twenty three.

There was a little bit of a joking manner in his voice as he said it, "I'm Chris Redfeild and this is Jill Valentine…" Said the man.

"And that was a Licker…" she said.

Justin looked at them, "Thanks." He said.

Jon knelt down to check his leg. It was badly bleeding. Chris and Jill ran to his side. "Did it cut you," asked Chris. Jon nodded. Chris reached in his belt and pulled out a vile of a yellow substance. He opened it and poured it on the wound. Jon jerked back when it stung at first. Then he got used to it.

Jill smiled, "That'll kill the virus." She said.

Justin asked Jill a question, "You said Virus?"

Chris answered, "The G-Virus." Said he.

Jill looked outside into the terminal. "We need to get outta here…so we can detonate the C-4." She said.

Jon came to at those words. "You have C-4?!" He said like a little child excited on Christmas morning.

"I'm guessing so," Said Kerrie. "Now let's go!" She said.

"Yeah the rest of your people are out already," Said Chris.

The Highwind took off leaving the FBI standard Ford car and the Airport behind. There was a pulmonary explosion followed by a bigger louder and more devastating explosion. The walls bulged out as fire and debris shot in every direction. Anything dead alive or in between was now destroyed.

The Turks: Zombie Case

Chapter 7:

The Highwind Airship

Wednesday December 15th, 2004

8:36 AM EST

Justin caught his finger while pulling a lever, "Shit!" He yelled.

Kerrie bit his shoulder lightly, "Wash your mouth out!" She yelled. "You curse like a sailor!" She reprimanded him.

Justin smiled, "I don't got that bad of a mouth do I? Fuck, shit, ass, bitch, cunt, shoobie-adoo-wap (Woops!) Skee-bee-ba-bee-wop, on Christopher Reeves Sonny Bono, skis whores and hittin' some trees!" Said Justin joking. Kerrie locked down on his shoulder harder with her teeth.

She let up, "That was very rude Justin," she said.

Justin wrapped his arm around her and pulled her close, "I am really sorry sweetie, it just slipped out." He kissed her. "It won't happen like that again."

Kerrie smiled slightly at him, the two just stood in the middle of the Highwind engine room holding each other.

Beth looked at the two standing there with a smile, "You two are so cute together." She said.

Kerrie took Justin's hand, "Now that the works done…we need to go back to our room…and talk." She said with a slight smile.

Justin caught her drift immediately, "Okay…see ya' later Beth." He said waving. Kerrie towed him off and up the stairs. Their room was just to the right. Justin opened the door and Kerrie inside in a flash. Justin shut the door behind him.

Kerrie removed her jacket quickly and threw it on the floor. Justin wrapped his arms around her, but she pushed them off and pulled his jacket back. Justin kissed her, Kerrie pulled back for a second, "Alice, turn on the sound proof room program." She said quickly.

Justin kissed her neck, "Are you sure that that thing works, Kate." Said Justin letting up for a second.

Kerrie giggled and then said, "Of course, I tested it, you couldn't hear my Guitar outside this room." She said.

Justin reached down behind Kerrie's back and slowly undid her skirt. Right after he did Kerrie grabbed her head as if she was in pain. Justin went to her side immediately. "Honey' what's wrong?" He asked with concern.

There was a flash in her mind, the face of the Licker was there, then the face of a Zombie. Kerrie could not block the images, they flashed in her head, then a picture of creatures she didn't know, they were hideous monsters that had only been seen in nightmares. She screamed out in fear.

Justin lifted Kerrie placing her in the bed and kissing her on the lips. Justin covered her up and then looked up towards the ceiling, "Alice disengage the sound proof room." He said. Justin ran over to the radio and picked it up. "Desiree, could you come down here to the room, Kerrie's having a vision and she is…yes…it's real bad."

He put the radio down and walked back to the bed side. Justin sat down next to Kerrie and removed her glasses. She had began to calm down. Justin took his hand and rubbed her stomach. She put her hand over his.

Just then the door flew open Chris and Jill were there with Desiree. Desiree came over to the side of the bed and touched her friend's forehead. She looked at Justin, "She's running a fever." Said Desiree.

Justin looked at Kerrie while brushing back her hair. Kerrie said something to Justin in a worried voice, "I saw Jenova in my vision." She said weakly. "She was…" said Kerrie but she had to take a breath.

"Kerrie, don't try to talk, just rest sweet heart." Said Justin.

Chris looked at them, "Why aren't you giving her medicine," he said outraged. After saying this he stopped to think for a second, Why do I suddenly care so much…she reminds me of my sister Claire. Ah…I miss you Claire. I'm sorry I can't be with you now though I have a job to do. But I'll take care of these people like they were you.

Jill looked, "Does she need Medicine?" She asked.

Desiree looked over at her, "No she just needs her rest."

Kerrie sat up and Desiree put a thermometer in her mouth. Justin looked at it, "The temperature's already dropped." He said.

Kerrie buried her face in her hands and just looked down. Desiree stood and walked towards the door pulling Chris and Jill with her.

Justin put his arm around her, she looked up at him, "I'm sorry…I messed up the only time we'll have alone for a long time and…" Justin shushed her. He leaned over and kissed her. She smiled and then said, "Alice restart sound proof room program." She said.

* * * * * * * * * * *

Beth picked up Kerrie's back pack that had been sitting on the floor. She reached inside to get out the photo album and found Kerrie's small black cell phone. She sat the phone on her lap and went digging for the book. She felt a vibrating on her leg and the phone fell to the floor.

Beth rushed to catch it, I might as well answer it. It's probably her mom. Beth hit the green send button on the phone, "Hello," she said.

The voice on the other side of the phone said, "Beth?"

"Damn it!" Said Beth. "Is it you, Adam…I should hang up now!" She said.

Adam was very quick in letting her know not to, "No please, I'm sorry about the past, about everything I did to you…but I need to talk to Kerrie, and fast!" He said.

Beth smiled at this, "She's busy right now with personal business and I can't get her, but I can tell her if you'd like…" Said Beth laughing into the phone.

"Tell her…that I'm trapped in an old abandoned warehouse in the mountains of Austin, some freaky ass monsters just attacked." He said.

"Looks like we can't help ya'," Said Beth. "We have wounded and we just had to blow up the airport, we need to head to the Complex and get more weapons." She said.

Adam sighed, "I should be safe for a few hours, okay?" He said.

Beth hit the End button. Beth began to talk to herself, "Well since I can't move the ship with out Captains permission, Adam'll have to wait!" She said picking up the album and sitting on the floor.

Desiree burst in the door and sat her bag on the ground, she was followed by Chris and Jill. She looked at Beth, "I'm going to take a little nap, tell Jon to stay out of my bag!" She said. Desiree turned around and was gone quickly.

Jill looked at Beth and then walked over to her where she was looking at the album with a solemn expression on her face. Jill got closer and looked at the page of the book that she was on. Jill smiled, "Is that a wedding?" Asked Jill.

"Yeah," said Beth with a fake little smile.

Jill pointed to Beth next to Kerrie and Justin in one picture. "You look great in that pink dress. I wish I had a dress like that," said Jill.

Chris came over and looked at the picture, "That is a nice dress." He wasn't much on complementing people. Especially women. He looked at it for a second more, "It's real…uhh…sexy." He said.

Beth cracked a smile for a second and then turned the page, a picture of Kid Rock, Eminem and Robbie was the first one on the page. Jill looked closer, "Kid Rock and Eminem!" Jill exclaimed. "You really know them…that shit's wicked!" Said Jill.

Chris smiled, "I love some of their songs!" He said.

Beth looked up at them, she knew what she was about to say was real rude but she couldn't help it. "Are you two…(uh)…involved?" She asked. Beth really didn't see what she had done until after the fact.

Chris looked down at his feet, he seemed uneasy all of the sudden. Jill looked at Chris, he just said, "Hell no." with a smile as he looked back up.

Jill looked at him for a second, her eyes filled with tears, Chris then saw what he had said, "I'm sorry Jill, I didn't mean…" Said Chris but he didn't get to finish because Jill ran out of the room quickly. She was crying and seemed to have taken it the wrong way. Chris started to go after her, but Beth stopped him.

"Chris, let me talk to her, I know how it feels." She said. Chris went to disagree, but she saw it coming and stopped him. "You must really car about her…I can see it." Said Beth.

"But how?" Said Chris.

Beth smiled and patted him on the back, "I'll talk to her."

* * * * * * * * * * *

Kerrie rolled over on her back, "Justin, I think it's time we talk about something." She said drawing up the covers.

Justin nudged her shoulder with his head, "What is it?" He asked smelling her hair.

Kerrie rolled on to her side facing him, he took her in his arms, but she seemed to not care, "Justin…" she started. "It's about Adam…" she said.

He just lay there hugging her, "What about him?" He asked.

"Adam called me on my cell phone…he wanted to talk." She said.

"About what sweetness." Asked Justin.

Kerrie put her arms around his neck, "About…us…I think I wasn't sure. But I was afraid so I said I was breaking up and couldn't talk…thank God it was my cell phone." Said Kerrie.

"Kerrie, I don't mind if you speak with him…" Said Justin.

Kerrie suddenly got angry, "No!" She said. "I will not lose friends over these stupid little things." She said. "Do you know why we made it this far?" She didn't give him time to answer. "Because we don't look back!" She paused again. "I broke up with Adam for a reason!" She said.

Justin looked at her, "What was that?" He asked. Kerrie looked at him like the dog in the RCA TV commercials. "Well, you never did tell us why." Said Justin.

Kerrie stood up out of the bed and walked over to the dresser where the mirror was. She stared deeply into the mirror. After a while she looked down in disgust, "Because," she started but then stopped again to think. I can't even face myself in the mirror. "Because…he loved me…and I didn't love him back." She thought for a second. I broke up with Ryan because he didn't love me, now I see how he feels. Too bad I can't tell a dead man sorry…

Justin sat up in the bed, "Why don't we go out and tend to the crew…and I'm sorry that asked about Adam." Said Justin.

"No…" said Kerrie. "I needed to get it off my chest…" She said. Kerrie ran into the bath room, "Let me reapply my makeup and we can be on our way."

"When we get dressed right?" Asked Justin.

"Oh…yeah." She said.

* * * * * * * * * * *

Link and Juliet stood on the deck of the Highwind like they had done so many years ago when they had gotten the bad news about their baby, Hope. Juliet's cherry colored hair billowed in the strong winds. Link held her hand.

It had been odd for Link, he used to wear a green tunic, now he wore a suit and tie. His hair had once been long and untamed. Now it was cut in a flat top. He was now the King of his country. Hyrule. Zelda, his sister had passed away years ago, and right now his daughter Julia was at home practicing her country running skills. Julia was now nineteen and old enough to began to run things.

Juliet looked just as good as ever. Her hair was once again long and half way down her back. She wore a long blue dress. And the real reason they had come to town was for the sole purpose having a talk with Rufus who was in Austin having a talk with Bush. Now she was upset because she had been pulled in to all of this. What do zombies have to do with her?

But none of that mattered now, they were alone and together, and nothing could change that…

Just then Jill burst through the door, her face tearstained and angry, her voice wailing out in extreme emotional pain. Link and Juliet looked back at her as she slid on her knees to a stop.

Jill fell over on her side steady crying. Now there was a cut on her knee. Link and Juliet ran over to help her. Juliet looked at her, "Are you okay?" She asked. Jill continued to cry.

Then suddenly Beth burst through the door. She reached Jill quickly, "Jill, honey, Chris said he didn't mean it, he loves you a lot. And he wants to be with you." She said.

Jill sat up, "Really!" She said.

Beth stood up helping her, "Really," Said Beth with a smile, "Let's go see him." She suggested.

The two walked back into the Highwind. Link looked at his wife, "What the fuck was that?"

Adam slammed the phone down, "Stupid Bitch, I apologized to her and she hangs the damn phone up!" Adam looked around. I'm stuck in this warehouse, where all I have to drink is year old cans of Dr. Pepper. I wonder if Beth would feel bad if I died because she didn't tell Kerrie what I said…

Adam looked at the door, it suddenly began to bulge in, those damn zombies are at it again. He thought.

But the pounding got harder. Then the large door burst open without breaking. Four people burst in quickly shutting it behind them. Out of the four half were ladies.

One woman had brown hair in a pony tail. She wore a Kid Rock T shirt and some extra short shorts. She had dark brown eyes that almost seemed black.

The other woman seemed a little younger. She had red hair like Juliet's and wore some round glasses. She had pale skin and hazel eyes. She wore a green jump suit.

One man was Hispanic and had black hair that was parted in the middle. His skin was a darker tan and he had the same eyes as the first girl. He wore some kind of police uniform.

The last man was big and burly. He had muscles upon muscles. He had red hair, it was one of those old wave cuts. His eyes were green and he wore the same uniform as Chris Redfield had on the Highwind.

Adam stood up with a gun drawn. The Hispanic one looked at him, "Chill out, man, Carlos is here!" he said.

Adam lowered the gun. "My name is Adam." He said.

The red headed girl looked at him, "Cool, I'm Rebecca Chambers," she then pointed to the other girl, "This is Claire Redfield," she then pointed to the final man. "And this is Barry Burton." She said.

Adam looked at his new found friends. "Since I can't count on Kerrie any more, I'll have to make an escaped with your help." He looked back over his shoulder. "There's a path to the sewer at the back I just found about twenty minuets ago, wanna use it?" The rest nodded and then followed him.

The Turks: Zombie Case

Chapter 8: How to be a Player By Carlos…

Sewer (Austin, Texas.)

Wednesday December 15th, 2004

8:52 AM EST

The sewers were dark and dank as the group of five moved through the underground passage. There were the screeching sounds of rats and mice as they followed the pipes away from the Dr. Pepper Warehouse.

The water in the small canal between the two walkways was green and dirty. The people in the group were really hoping there was nothing down there, it would have a big advantage.

Adam looked the other people in the group. "Does anyone have the map to the stars?" He asked with a smile. No one laughed.

Carlos looked at him, "Damn…I know tough crowd!" He said.

Claire looked up at the ceiling, she couldn't help thinking about her brother Chris, was he okay?

Suddenly there was a splash, a long arm shot out of the water hitting Rebecca. Claire suddenly came back to reality. She aimed her gun, fired and missed. The long arm hit Adam knocking him into the water. He fell with a splash.

Barry grabbed Rebecca's arm and pulled her to the side. "Look out Carlos!" He yelled.

Carlos pulled out his Beretta and aimed it at the arm, "Ah fuck!" He exclaimed. "It's one of those damn Bandit Snatchers!" He fired and missed.

Barry took a shot too and hit the arm. "They can really fuck your day up, huh." He said.

Claire stepped back next to Rebecca to make sure her friend didn't get hurt. "We should make a dive for it and find Adam."

Rebecca looked up, "That's not very logical…there could be more of these in the water…and then we'd be shit outta luck." She said.

A huge body popped out of the water. It looked like a Licker with it's muscles stretched out across the top layer of it's body. It had a terribly ugly face with sharp teeth. It stood on two legs unlike a Licker. It's body was half way out of the water.

Carlos looked at it, "Damn that dude's ugly, man, Marlin Manson ugly!" Carlos took out a small disk that was about an inch thick and an inch in diameter. "Run!" he yelled. After they all saw the disk, they did just. Carlos threw the disk and it stuck to the monster's head. He two then ran.

He didn't look back, but he knew when he heard the terrible screech that the monster was dead from the explosion. Barry looked back at him, "Flash Incinerator, good move, kid." Said Barry. "But now we have to find that Adam guy."

The Highwind Airship

Wednesday December 15th, 2004

8:02 AM EST

PJ, John and Jon sat in the break room. Kerrie came walking into the room. They all looked at her and began to laugh. She looked at them with anger in her eyes, "What the fuck is so damn funny?!" She yelled.

John pointed at her, "Just had sex, didn't ya'?" asked John.

Kerrie looked at him, "How did you…" she started but didn't get the chance to finish.

PJ pointed to her shirt, "Shirts on back wards ." He said. Kerrie just looked down and pushed the tag in.

Justin came in behind her and she grabbed on to him, "Honey, they're making fun of me!" She whined.

Justin kissed her, "Don't pick on my baby!" Said Justin holding her around the waist.

PJ and John stood up and headed for the door, "Damn it John they're doing it again."

John threw the sandwich he had been eating down, "That completely ruined my lunch!" Said John.

Beth came in the room after they left. She walked past Kerrie and Justin and over to the coffee machine. She began to pour coffee into one of the Styrofoam cups. She turned to watch Justin slid his hands down Kerrie's waist as he stood behind her. She then remembered, "Hey Kerrie I found your phone and Adam called, he said he was in some kind of factory or something."

Kerrie leaned back onto Justin's shoulder putting her hand around the side of his face. She kissed the cheek that her hand wasn't on. And then said, "I don't care…Adam doesn't need our help to escape a ratty old factory." Said Kerrie.

Beth stayed calm, "Well I think that the sewer leading in and out of the factory is something you should look at." Said Beth. She pulled out a map of the area.

Kerrie looked at the map. "This factory is near the cave where the zombies are!" Said Kerrie.

Beth smiled, "Yeah and zombies are too damn dumb to get down there so now we have a safe route in and out!" Said Beth. She then pointed to the factory on the map, "This factory is listed as a Dr. Pepper factory, but I think it's really a factory for Umbrella." Said Beth.

Justin snatched the map, "Well let's get there!"

* * * * * * * * * * *

Mulder was bored out of his mind. He had been sitting in the Highwind with out an event even happening. Scully was sleep, her legs propped up o the table. He wanted someone to talk to, but he couldn't bring himself to wake her.

Mulder stood and walked over to the computer, he looked up in the air, "Alice, do you have Solitaire?" He asked.

Alice answered him, "I have one thousand human games, including Doom, Duke Nuke Em and Quake. Solitaire is included in that list." She said.

"Cool," said Mulder. He leaned back into the chair. "Do you have Hearts?" He asked.

She started again, "I have one thousand human games, including Doom, Duke Nuke Em and Quake." She said again.

"So the answer is yes?" He said.

"No," answered Alice.

Mulder put his feet on the table, "Fine then smart ass, I'll play some Quake." Just as he said it John and PJ burst in the door. "Yo man!" Said John.

Mulder just swung his hand back and dully said, "What up homes."

PJ slapped his hand, "You better wake your partner up we gotta roll. We should be at the factory in three minuets." Said PJ.

Mulder shook Scully, "Wake up Scully." He said.

Scully stirred and then sat up. "What?" She said.

"We gotta suit up." He said

* * * * * * * * * * *

The whole crew stood out on the deck as Alice landed them next to the sewage intake. The ship came down softly but did not touch the ground, there was too many rocks. It just hovered there with the light hum of the engine coming out of it, along with the ramp extending to the ground.

Justin, Jon, Chris and John were the first one's out carrying the weapon's crate. When they reached the rocky land they dropped it. "Well boys take your pick of weapons!" Said Chris.

Kerrie, Beth, Jill and Desiree came out next. Followed by Mulder and Scully. Kerrie looked at them all. "Someone has to stay with the ship!" Said Kerrie.

Just leave Link and Juliet!" Said PJ as he ran out. "She's not feeling well." Said PJ.

Justin smiled, "Shall we?' He said holding up a grenade.

Kerrie bit his hand and took it from him, "Allow me." She said. She threw it and it bounced back behind the grill. "Damn." Said Kerrie.

"See what you've done!" Said Jon. "Now the damn thing will blow down into the sewer." He paused. The grenade blew and grill fell right into the sewer. "See if that would have blown straight into the air that could have been my greatest thrill in a week!" Said John.

Desiree slapped him, she then uttered angrily into his ear, "What about last night !"

Jon just said, "Oh."

* * * * * * * * * * *

Barry, Rebecca, Carlos and Claire could hear and see it. They could feel it as it rumbled throughout the tunnel.

Barry cocked his gun, "What was that?" He said.

Rebecca looked at him, "It sounded like someone blew the sewer cover open." She said. "I hope they didn't blow open the one to the next sewer sector. Then Adam would flow through into the city section, and we may never find him after that." She said.

They broke into a run and soon ran into a cloud of smoke. Claire coughed. "This must be the place where the vent was blown out." Said Claire.

There was a sound coming from within the smoke. Then a voice. "Is someone else in here." Said the voice. Nine people stepped out of the smoke and into the clear air. It was the Turks and their friends.

Suddenly Chris Redfield saw his little sister. He ran to her, "Claire!" He said running to hug her.

Carlos smiled, "Eh man, it's a Kodiac Moment." Said Carlos said with his accent.

Suddenly there was a dog barking, Kerrie looked out into the darkness. "Why would a puppy be down here?" Said Kerrie.

Carlos looked at her drawing his gun, "That ain't no puppy sweetie." Said Carlos.

Kerrie knelt down to call the dog, "Come here sweetie…you sweet little puppy!" Said Kerrie in her cutesy voice.

Carlos was watching Kerrie bend over, Damn look at that Ass. Thought Carlos.

A creature that looked like a skinless pit bull landed on Kerrie knocking her down. A gun shot rang out and the dog fell dead. A puddle of deep red blood spilt from its head. Kerrie shoved it off of herself. "Yuck, Puppy blood!" Said Kerrie.

They all looked at Rebecca, "Good shot huh?" She said Smiling.

The Sewer

Wednesday December 15th, 2004

8:23 AM EST

After the introductions had been made, they continued on. Barry was getting very edgy. He could sense something was about to happen.

Carlos looked around, "Man, when them zombies come I gonna open a can of industrial sized Whoop ass on em'." He said.

Kerrie smiled, "This isn't that bad. The worst thing we've seen is the Licker." She said.

Claire looked at her, "what the fuck ever! What about the Bandit Snatcher!"

Beth looked at her, "The what?"

"Ya' don't wanna know." Said Rebecca. "We need to find that guy."

"What guy," said Jon.

"The one from the factory, Adam something or other…" Said Barry.

"Adam…you saw him." Said Kerrie.

"Where did he go?" asked Desiree.

Carlos looked at her, Look at those breast! Don't stare Carlos my man…try not to talk directly into them! "Easy, babe, he was standing right here and went zip whap and bam. And his little blonde ass floated down to this end. He must have gone through that hole…"

"Serves him right!" Said Beth smugly.

Barry looked down into the dark water, "We just don't have the time, it would take weeks to find him down there." Said Barry.

Rebecca cut, "And who's to say he didn't get out on his own?" She said.

John looked out towards the way the factory was in, "Well, lead on!" Said John.

They all moved slowly and cautiously through the sewer. There was a putrid smell down there as they moved back in the direction they had just come from. They couldn't tell if it was from the zombies that might be around or the fact that they were in a sewer.

Justin looked at Carlos, "What was that dog thing he asked as they walked?"

"Eh, man, it was a disgruntled little puppy man!" Said Carlos at first. He then laughed, "How the fuck should I know? I just kill em'." He said.

Chris smiled, "Good philosophy!" Said Chris.

Carlos smiled at Jill, "Hey!" He said. "You did even tell me 'Hi'. How do you think I feel?" Said Carlos.

Jill looked at him she couldn't even smile. "I'm sorry…it's kind of hard." She said looking kind of down. "I've been having a hard time lately." Said Jill.

Carlos looked at her with a serious look, "Oh…feminine problems right?" He started to walk off. "Gotcha, Jill, I'll be over here by big boob girl." He said.

"My name is Desiree!" She said threateningly.

Carlos backed up, "Damn! Tough crowd!" He said pulling at his collar. He could see that Kerrie was near the middle of the group. He stopped right next to her and leaned down to talk to her. "Eh, baby your daddy must have been a baker, cause you got nice buns"

"What did you say!?" Yelled Kerrie angry.

"Nothing." Said Carlos. He stopped walking and waited for Beth to catch up with him. I'll try the direct approach! He thought. "Hey baby," he said looking at Beth. "You got a nice ass!" He said. She slapped him and kept going. Carlos looked at Rebecca who was just passing by. "Hey you know that offer for a date still stands?" He said.

PJ put his arm around her, "Sorry," she said. "I already got a date." She said.

"Damn!" He started. "Looks like everyone got a date but Carlos."

Carlos then walked right past Claire without looking back. I knew it…he wouldn't even notice me enough to ask me out. Thought Claire.

Kerrie looked back at Claire. She could tell just by reading her mind what she was thinking. Kerrie grabbed Justin's hand and drug him back to the spot where Claire was. She stopped, "Hey Claire." Said Kerrie.

Claire tried to avoid her eyes. "So can you really read minds?" She asked seemingly worried.

"Yes, and I just read yours…I know about your feelings for Carlos too." She looked over at Carlos. "Don't worry I won't tell him." Said Kerrie.

Claire smiled, she suddenly felt she had found someone to trust.

* * * * * * * * * * *

The swirling dark masses of water carried Adam through the sewer. He had found a piece of wood floating and used it to keep himself up. But it was only a matter of time before he could not hold the wood any longer.

He began to slip off of the wood. He tried to get a better grasp but he couldn't. As he was about to go down for the last time a hand caught him. He was hauled up out of the water. He grabbed the side of the walkway and pulled himself up. He then looked for his rescuer. He saw a man standing in the shadows. A cigarette burned in the man's mouth.

"Hello Adam," Said the man."

"Who are you? How do you know my name?" Adam asked.

"So many questions, and you think you have the answers!" Said the man. He took a drag on the cigarette. "I am on your side, I want you to do me a favor." Said the man.

"What kind of favor." Asked Adam.

"I want you to get the Turks out of my way, and those S.T.A.R.S members. I won't harm your Turks friends, but the stars, they're mine." He said. "Take this Radio." Said the man sliding it across the floor.

"Fine, all I care about is Kerrie. The rest are yours." Said Adam. Adam picked it up.

"You will be paid," said the man. "Good." He finished walking off. "Oh and don't try to warn them." Said the man.

Adam turned around and walked back to the ladder. He climbed up to the street level. He looked to see his Hummer parked next to the meter. He walked over. "Damn look at all these parking tickets!" He said.

He picked them up and looked at them. He just threw them all in the cracked window. "When I finish this job I'll be able to afford all these tickets." Said Adam.

Adam picked up his cell phone as he was starting the car. He hit one and send and the phone began to ring.

* * * * * * * * * * *

Kerrie picked up her phone, "Hello!" She said.

The voice on the other side was Adam, "Hello Kerrie."

"Where are you?" She asked.

"Back in the city," said Adam. "I'll meet you in the factory in thirty minutes. There's a huge boiler next to the entrance to the sewer, I'll meet you all there." He said.

"Bye," said Kerrie. Adam just hung up. "Damn," said Kerrie. "He's not acting normal." She said finally.

Kerrie slipped the phone back into her pocket as she walked. Justin looked at her, "Who was that sweetie." Said Justin.

"It was Adam, he said he'll meet us by the entrance to the factory." Said Kerrie.

Beth stopped dead in her tracks, "How did he know we were down here, I told him that we wouldn't be here for a while." Said Beth.

"Maybe he was using a tracer," Said Barry.

John looked at Beth, "I don't trust Adam as far as I can throw him, and that's not very far at all." Said John.

Beth looked at him, "We better say something, I don't want Kerrie to get hurt again." Beth gathered her courage, "Everyone…" she started everyone turned to watcher her. "I think this is a trap, that Adam is going to trap us." She said.

They had just reached the entrance to the factory as Kerrie turned to face Beth. "That's odd,. Coming from a person that has the biggest grudge against Adam." Said Kerrie angry.

"Ask Justin!" Said Beth. "I bet he'll agree." She said.

"Justin?" said Kerrie.

"I have no part in this…" Said Justin.

Beth grabbed John's hand, "Fine then we can go our own way from now own." Said Beth. She opened the door to the factory. And walked right past the boiler

"Fine go that way!" Shouted Kerrie. "We don't need you!" She yelled. Kerrie stood watching Beth walk off through a door. They would probably find their way out of the factory on their own. Even though the factory was huge.

It seemed the Turks were Torn.

Secret Umbrella Factory

Wednesday December 15th, 2004

9:01 AM EST

The group waited by the boiler for ten minuets, before any one said a word to Kerrie. Justin was the first one to say anything. "Honey…should I go find Beth?" He asked.

"Why should I care…" Said Kerrie smugly. "She's no Turk now."

Justin just ignored it. He didn't want to upset her. Carlos threw a rock up against the boiler. Suddenly Adam came walking out. "Damn man, you'll give a man a heart attack like that!" Said Carlos.

Adam just smiled. He came towards them. "So how's it going…it's only been a few weeks." He said.

Desiree looked at him, "I guess that's because you snuck out on us." Said Desiree accusingly.

"I had other business!" Yelled Adam.

Carlos smiled. "Yeah man business in the bath room, Spanky!" Everyone laughed at Carlos' joke.

Adam became angry. "Just follow me." He said struggling to control himself.

The group was behind him as he walked to a door on the right. When he opened it he pointed inside. Letting all of the Turks proceed ahead of him. As Kerrie, who was last approached the door he slammed it. He opened a slit in the top of the door. "Welcome to your doom!" He yelled at the STARS and Turks.

He turned back to Kerrie. "Let me in!" she screamed at him. He eyes almost began to tear as she said it.

Adam just stood there. Suddenly Kerrie looked at him, "Do you realize what you've fucking done!" Kerrie yelled. She started to cry. Her eyes turned red as she began to irritate them with all of her tears.

Adam's heart softened. He threw the radio down and ran over to the door. He began to pull the handle. Kerrie looked at him, "What are you doing?" She asked still crying.

"I can't open this fucking door alone! Help me!" Said Adam. Kerrie ran to the knob and they both pulled. Not one inch. Then suddenly the door flew open with a boom. Kerrie fell on her butt and Adam stumbled backwards. They quickly regained their stance and rushed into the door.

The floor of the room fell through with the whole group on top of it. They landed in a large sandy room where torches burned on the sides of the room. They could see in the dim torch light there was a Zombie. He was bigger than the rest. He wore a trench coat. He only hand one eye the other was covered over. He stood holding a rocket launcher and his metal shoes were planted solely in the sand. He began to walk towards them only saying.

"STARS! TURKS!"

The Turks: Zombie Case

Chapter 9: Pawns and Traitors

Trap Room

Wednesday December 15th, 2004

9:12 AM EST

Kerrie went to move out from under a pile of sand. She felt a sharp pain in her ankle. She watched as the monster stood a few feet from her. She looked at his one red eye as it studied her. She went to stand but couldn't. "Help me!" She yelled out. She then saw her gun a few feet away.

Justin got to his feet quickly and ran to her. Jill looked at him, "Watch out!" She yelled.

Justin stepped up on the monster. He held his gun to its head. He smiled, "Back off my wife!" He said. Suddenly the monster made a move, Justin fired.

The monster turned and punched him in the face, Justin fell back onto the ground and landed in the sand. Carlos looked at him, "Now you see how it feels!" Said Carlos.

Justin was bleeding, but he quickly shook off the pain and ran back to protect Kerrie. Desiree ran over to him as Jon went after the monster. Desiree grabbed his shoulder as he stood next to Kerrie. "Justin, you need some medical attention." Said Desiree.

"Not now…" Said Justin. "I have to watch her." He said.

Kerrie took Justin's hand, "You're gonna be a greater help in the long run…you get you nose fixed." She said.

"I refuse to. Desiree take care of her ankle." Said Justin.

Jill and Carlos had seen the monster before. Jill yelled out to it. "Hey Nemesis, over here." He looked at her. Jill turned on a baby boom box with 'N Sync playing on it. The beast stared at the radio. He loved N Sync.

"We can't use grenades we're to close together." Said Jon.

Barry took out a lighter, "Anyone got any hair spray?" He asked.

Carlos looked angry, "Damn man, you ain't got no hair!" He said.

Rebecca pulled out a bottle of spray "This will work!" She said throwing it to Barry.

Barry struck the lighter, Nemesis was starting to get out of the trans, the song was almost over. Barry got behind Nemesis and used the lighter to light his coat on fire. The monster did not seem to notice.

Rebecca shot the monster with her gun her turned and charged her. Just before she was hit PJ jumped out and knocked her down, but he was pummeled into the wall instead of her. He just lay there.

It was then that Chris saw a cord going from the monsters neck and head. He watched as it stood over PJ. He then took the advantage, he ran up behind the monster and ripped out the cord. The cord from the back of the head was creating suction. He then pulled out one of the Virus cures and broke it open right under the back of the cord. The monster shook and choked as the cure entered him. He suddenly fell over dead.

Justin ran over to check on PJ who was just getting up. Rebecca helped him. After seeing PJ was okay he ran back over to Kerrie. She was using her magic to heal the wound. She then stood on her own. Justin walked up to her, "Are you okay?" He said.

"Yes," she said. She grabbed on to Justin and held him tight. "You should have taken that help first," she said.

Chris walked over to them, "You're good at fighting, for some guys in the FBI." Said Chris

Jon looked at Chris, "FBI!" He said loud and surprised. "FBI don't have shit on us!"

PJ dusted himself off, "We're the Turks…" Said he.

Justin let go of Kerrie "Where's Adam?"

"Right here." Came a voice from the shadows. A man stood in the shadows and then stepped into the light.

Chris, Jill and Barry all looked in astonishment. "Albert Wesker, you Bastard!" Yelled Jill. The man held Adam by the throat with a gun to his head. The cold steel of the Colt 44 touched Adam's head.

"Let him go." Said Kerrie.

"Why? He did just try to kill you!" Said Wesker cocking the gun.

Wesker looked at the group. He watched Chris the closest. Chris stepped up. "Let him go Wesker…you little weasel!"

Suddenly the roof ceiling opened up, Wesker had forgotten about the trap door. He fired the gun out of fear and ran. "Adam!" yelled Rebecca.

Kerrie just looked in horror, "Oh my God," she said. Justin shielded her eyes. Kerrie just cried on his shoulder.

Carlos walked up, "That ain't that gross…brain's still in his head." He said.

Kerrie was crying, "How can you be so cruel?!" She screamed.

Desiree walked over to her friend. "Beth was right though we should have listened." Said Desiree.

Kerrie became very angry, "Will you shut the hell up!" Said Kerrie. "I'm outta here!" She said walking off.

Justin chased after her, Chris cocked his gun, "I'll follow them." He said darting off.

Jill and Carlos watched him, "In that case…maybe we should go find Wesker." Said Jill. "He must be stopped."

"Well I'm in charge now." Said Barry. "Let's move out!"

Desiree looked at them, "This group is going to be all broken up soon."

* * * * * * * * * * *

Beth and John heard the gun shot but figured that it was a zombie being shot. They entered at large room with a concert floor and big boilers. There were dead bodies littering the floor.

The room smelt of death and decay. Beth stepped over a dead scientist. She could barely see the huge metal door at the back of the room. Then something grabbed her ankle, she yelled out. John looked down to see a zombie holding her. He shot it.

"Thank you John." She said.

"Are you okay sweet heart." Said John.

"Yes." She said. "Thank you."

John walked over to the big door with his gun aimed up at ready. He saw there was a red button next to the door. The door opened quickly and a big red hand flew out knocking John to the ground. He hit the floor with a loud thud.

Beth ran to his aid. "This must be the Bandit Snatcher!" She said. His other hand hit her, she was floored instantly.

A shot rang out from behind the Bandit Snatcher and hit it in the head killing it. A blond man smoking a cigarette he had evil looking pointed features. It was Albert Wesker. "I shot it now I'll shot you!" He said. He aimed his gun at Beth and shot her in the stomach. She screamed out as she lay there.

John ran to help her but was shot in the leg. He fell to the floor. Wesker smiled, he came over to John and stepped on his leg right on the wound. "How are you now?" Said Wesker.

He began to walk out of the room. Then he heard someone yell stop. He turned to see Kerrie standing in the hall way. He smiled at her. "Stupid bitch…I have a more stable form of that virus. It'll take twenty good bullets to kill me." He said.

Kerrie kept the gun steady, her eyes never failing. "Aren't you going to stop and help your friend." Said Wesker. Kerrie looked back at Beth as she walked closer. She shot Wesker and he just laughed.

Wesker drew his gun, Kerrie had just lost her clip, she had no time to reload before he had his gun. He shot Kerrie twice once in the stomach and once in the leg. She fell to the floor Just then Chris and Justin came running in.

Wesker got to a door on the side of the room, he opened it to where a helicopter was waiting it was already there and had the keys in it. He got in it and started it up. The blades began to spin.

Chris got there just as he was taking ff Justin had stopped off to see to the wounded. As Chris fired off his first round and hit the blade. The helicopter started to spin out of control. It went off the edge of the cliff next to the factory.

All of a sudden the blades shot off from the middle. Then the part that Wesker was in cam out with a rocket in the back.

Chris looked at it, "Damn…an escape pod." Said Chris. "I'll get you Wesker!" He vowed.

Kerrie lay on the floor with Justin next to her Beth had been pushed next to her. Justin put his coat over the two. John had drug himself over to them. Kerrie looked over at Beth. "If I die, I want you to know I'm not mad at you." Said Kerrie.

"Don't talk like that." Said Justin.

"We're both dead." Said Beth.

Then from outside there was a hum. It was louder than a helicopter and kept getting louder. Then outside of the door on the side the brown wood deck of the Highwind. Mulder Scully and Juliet. Mulder yelled to them need a little help down there.

Soon they were all in the ship, and as the last person was getting in rest of the group showed up. They all loaded into the Highwind

Since Kerrie, Beth and John had all been shot, Desiree and Scully would have to take care of them.

The Highwind

Wednesday December 15th, 2004

9:24 AM EST

The ships small infirmary was full with the three people. Justin sat next to Kerrie in the bed with his head on her shoulder. She sat there writing in her journal.

Dear Diary,

Today was horrid. I lost a friend and got shot. It seems that the team is being torn apart by everything. All of us are not feeling at our best. Well I'll finish you up later.

Kerrie put down her pen and sat the book off to the side. She wrapped her arms around Justin and drifted to sleep.

A door slam woke Kerrie, Beth, Justin and John. "Oh my God, Kerrie sweetie are you hurt." Said the woman at the door.

"Huh, Mom!" Said Kerrie.

"Are you okay?" Asked her mother.

"Hello, Mom." said the other three.

"Mom, I'm not in the mood…Adam's dead, and I got shot." She paused. "So did they."

"I'm sorry honey." Her mother answered.

Beth became angry, "Adam's a traitor…who cares."

Justin stopped them both, "Cut it out before you start some shit!" He said.

Kerrie folded her arms and sat back in the bed smugly. Her mother just stood and walked out. Kerrie didn't even look up. She just sat there. Then her eyes started to tear. Justin looked at her. "What's wrong honey?" He asked kissing her cheek.

Suddenly the door burst open and two figures stepped in, One of them had a cowboy hat with long brown hair. He wore sunglasses and a trench coat.

The other had a T shirt and blue jeans. He had dark brown hair and seemed all hyper.

John looked up, "Robbie, Kid Rock this is not the time."

The Turks: Zombie Case

Chapter 10: Is it really over now?

The Highwind

Saturday 18th, 2004

6:12 AM EST

Justin lay on top of Kerrie, she seemed real angry. He kissed her neck, and she forced her head farther down in the bed. Justin used her hand to caress her cheek but she just rolled over threw him off. She was very upset.

He kept trying anyway. He moved back over to her and kissed her on the back of her neck. Justin put his arms around her. She just pulled out of them, and turned to face him.

"Justin, I'm not mad at you…I'm just not in the mood…for ya' know…" She said with her eyes showing great remorse.

Justin kissed her lips softly. "It's fine…but if this about Adam I have a little theory…" Said Justin.

Kerrie looked at him, "What's that…"

"Adam's Hummer never showed up…I think they may have cloned him…that's why you could read his mind…I could tell you were trying, the same thing with Albert Wesker." Said Justin. "Now if you'll excuse me…I'll give you some time to think." Said Justin standing and slipping on a pair of pants. He walked to the closet and picked up a green Polo shirt and slipped it over his white t shirt, it was very cold in the Highwind in the winter.

Justin walked to the door and took one looked back at Kerrie. She was just laying there staring at the ceiling. He stepped into the hallway and started to shut the door. When he looked up from the steel grated floor he saw Kerrie's beautiful mother staring back at him. "Sorry Miss…" He started.

"It's Charlene." She said.

"Yes…how stupid of me. It's not an age thing…but a respect thing." He said quickly.

Charlene smiled, "Just call me mom then…" She said.

"Well…okay Mom." He smiled. Then he looked back at the green door to his room. He turned back to Charlene. "Mom," he stared. "Kerrie is going through some emotional crisis. She's never lost a friend in battle before. Then there's Umbrella…" Justin was cut short.

"I understand." Said Charlene.

"Albert Wesker did this to her…he killed Adam…I don't care who does it…but he must die." Said Justin walking off.

Charlene looked after him, "I'll talk to Kerrie," She said.

* * * * * * * * * * *

The people that had been there had to go home…Link Juliet…Mulder Scully. They were all taken home. So now the ship was a little less crowded. John and Kerrie were lucky to escape their gunshot wounds with out a limp. Their legs were expected to make a full recovery. Beth was still off her feet because of the stomach wound. Kerrie had one too but Certa heal fast. Justin's small nose bleed because of Nemesis had healed before any other wound.

But the person who had taken the most damage during the healing period was Desiree. She was the only doctor for the Turks and had been run ramped by all the wounds. Scully had helped at first. But then she left.

Desiree sat in the cockpit watching the STARS members work their magic. Chris Redfield had already found the Umbrella facility in San Antonio, Texas. That was the perfect place to counter strike.

Jill pointed to the map, "That will be a dangerous hit." She started. "That place is where some of the first Bandit Snatchers got loose, but all the creatures there are locked inside." She said.

Carlos took up, "So they'll be good pissed and hungry for us." He said.

Rebecca was sitting in PJ's lap as she said. "So we need to be prepared."

There was no one to answer. She looked at them all as they stood there just looking at each other. The whole group knew what they were up against. Or so they thought. But Wesker was what they all had in common. He had caused all of them heartache and pain. He was the one who blackmailed Barry. The one who mad Chris fight those Bandit Snatchers. And was now one of the men in charge of the Umbrella Corp. It was true that no one owed him more than all of them. But in the end it would be the person who got to him first that got to pay the debt.

San Antonio, Texas

Saturday December 18th, 2004

6:45 AM EST

Adam sat in his car…he couldn't believe he let Wesker try that cloning experiment on him. It was true that he worked for Umbrella…but to betray friends was out of his league. He knew they had escaped from the factory and that Wesker would be waiting for them in San Antonio. That's why he was here.

His Hummer rolled down the freeway. He was listening to a local radio station. It was either Kid Rock or Tehano music…he hated them both. But he could at least understand Kid Rock. The wind blew through his blond hair as he rolled down the exit ramp. He would have to get to the very edge of town near the rocky cliffs. That's where the lab was. It was built into the side of a hill.

He hoped that Kerrie would not be mad at him for trusting Wesker. He already knew half the Turks didn't trust him. He didn't need the same from her. He shifted the gear and looked off to the side of himself. There was some girls in a Jeep with bikinis on. He tipped his sunglasses to them and thought only in Texas…

The Jeep sped off and there was a light ahead he slowed himself down and then looked at the gas gage. It was almost empty, damn, he thought. He made a quick right turn towards a gas station. It was a nice well lighted Shell and since it was still partly dark and cool (for Texas) he took off the glasses.

Adam came to a stop next to a gas pump where had to get out on the outside of the pump. So he would have to walk around the car. He took out his credit card and walked around the car. He put back his wallet as he watched the small TV play CNN as it sat in the gas pump.

He was not paying much attention as a car pulled up on his side. He started to slip his Visa card into the pump as a car door slammed beside him. It came back out and he made his selection. Just as he extended his arm out to grasp the pump he heard a gun cock and touch his head.

"Hello Wesker," He said immediately.

"Adam…I have a job for you…" Said Wesker.

"Well that gun was a nice touch…what about the clerk." Adam said. "He won't see this?" Said Adam.

"The clerk has been paid off…some people are so easy to take care of." Said Wesker.

Adam sighed and then relaxed. Wesker let the gun fall slowly. He then took out a box of cigarettes. "What do you want now…it doesn't matter I don't wanna help!" said Adam.

Wesker put the cigarette in his mouth and lit it. "Oh you won't." Wesker smiled and put back his cigarettes. Just then on CNN a story on the Turks came on. It showed a picture of them all individually. Wesker watched the screen as he pulled out his gun and aimed it at Adam's head. "We won't make you if you don't want to…" Wesker said. "…but we will take care of it ourselves if you don't…" Just as the picture of Kerrie came on the screen Wesker aimed the gun away from Adam and shot the screen. "But Kerrie is sure to get hurt if we do it our way…I already had to shot her…twice…." Wesker paused and took a long drag on his cigarette. "Third times a charm."

Wesker was back in his car before Adam knew it. "I'll keep them out of the way…but I won't kill them." Said Adam.

Wesker held the cigarette between his teeth as he said, "That's my boy!"

Adam watched as Wesker's red Camaro drove off. He hated Wesker…but couldn't stop him now. Wesker never bluffed. But then Adam thought. Maybe I can stop him…

The Highwind

Saturday December 18th, 2004

6:57 AM EST

Beth Roberts was not in the best mood. She was now taking her meals through a tube. It would have to be Adam's fault even though Wesker shot her. She hoped to never see or hear Adam again. And she was pretty sure she wouldn't hear him since he was dead.

Beth's cell phone sat next to the bed and she reached over and picked it up. She was looking at it when it began to ring. She casually answered it, trying not to wake John who was in the chair next to her. "Hello," She said.

"Beth…it's Adam."

Her blood began to boil she was already very mad at him. "I'm hanging up…" She said.

He stopped her, "You have to warn Kerrie that she's in danger. Wesker is after her!" Said Adam.

"He's after all of us!" Said Beth still angry.

"Yeah…but he blackmailed me. He said if I don't lead you guys off the trail in San Antonio, that he would hurt Kerrie…so I have to say yes!" Said Adam.

"Adam…damn you…Kerrie's already hurt, she more sad that she was betrayed than over the fact you died…you are still going to hurt her!" Said Beth.

"Tell her I called." Said Adam.

"She'll want answers…" Said Beth.

"I can't let her die!" bellowed Adam into the phone. He hung up.

Beth took the phone off her ear and looked at it. "Rude ass, hung up on me!" She said.

Just as she put the phone back there was a knock at the door. "Come in." She said. The door opened and Kerrie stepped in with some flowers. "Hi Tiff I bought these." She said.

"Oh Kerrie…I have bad news…or it might be good." Said Beth.

"What…I can't take more bad news." Said Kerrie setting the flowers on the table next to the bed.

Beth seemed to not hear her at all, "I just got a call and it was Adam…he's okay…" Said Beth.

"What!" Alleged Kerrie hysterically. "That's great news!"

"No…it's not…Adam said Wesker's after you…he wants Adam to lead us off trail or you die!" Said Beth.

Kerrie looked real miserable, "I don't it…" She said. She seemed to get angry real fast. "Well fuck him…I could give a shit less what he wants!" She said.

Beth looked at Kerrie, "Kerrie…you're like my sister and I want you to be happy…but why don't you turn control of the Turks over to Justin. There is the second Turks group headed by Shannon headed in to help us. Robbie has agreed to stay with me and John, you are injured too."

"You're right," said Kerrie sitting down. "Desiree already pulled me off the case. She is a doctor. But that leaves PJ and Justin from our group with Shannon, Amie, Sephiroth, Catie and Sandi." She thought for a while. "Oh and the STARS."

Beth corrected her. "Nope…Chris made Claire stay back here, he doesn't want her involved." She said.

Kerrie gave her friend a hug, "Well I better go, I have to inform the others and land the ship." Said Kerrie. "We meet Shannon in ten minutes."

San Antonio, Texas

Saturday December 18th, 2004

6:58 AM EST

The light was just getting into the sky as a man stepped into the still dark ally. He could only be seen by a small out line. He had a cowboy hat on and a business suit. He wore it with pride, that could be told by his demeanor, although the man had a serious limp as if he had been hurt. But in this modern world with Umbrella, broken bones could be fixed in days.

But it would cost a hefty price.

The man stepped up to Albert Wesker who was standing in the shadows. "Well did Adam take the bait?" Asked the man.

"No matter how much he loved her…I knew he wouldn't be able to resist calling one of them to warn them." Said Wesker.

"Well that's why you hired me." Said the man. Wesker could tell he was smiling event though he couldn't see him.

"That's right Cody…and you better not cross me!" Said Wesker.

"So what's the job keep them all busy?" Asked Cody.

"No…" Said Wesker. "I want them all dead… including Adam." Wesker walked off.

The Shin Ra Complex

Of San Antonio, Texas

Saturday December 18th, 2004

7:07 AM EST

Shannon was a well known Turk. She had beautiful brown eyes and the brown hair to match. The thing was she was not well known for her work…she was well known for her personality. She was kind and sweet just like Kerrie, and a good leader. The two had always been good friends and with good reason. They were so much alike.

Shannon wore a pink skirt and a green shirt as she walked out side. She had seen the Highwind many times but never rode in it. She walked over to where Kerrie stood on the run way.

"Hello Kate," she said in her sweet and kind voice.

"Hi," said Kerrie with a smile. I like your out fit." Kerrie said pointing to the cloths she wore.

"I'm glad to be working with you again." Said Shannon.

"Well, I'm off the case because I took a bullet to the stomach." Said Kerrie.

"So it's just four of your Turks?" Said Shannon.

Kerrie looked nervously about. "Well not exactly…John and Beth were shot too."

"So it's just Justin and PJ." Said Shannon.

"Well we replaced the missing with the STARS unit out of Raccoon City." Said Kerrie. "I'll explain while we walk." Said Kerrie.

* * * * * * * * * * *

Justin knew as soon as Kerrie and Shannon returned that it would be fifteen minutes till the big show. He was in charge now. He watched Robbie as he though about how he had never gone into battle without Kerrie by his side. He watched as Robbie kicked back and got comfortable.

Just then Shannon walked in with Kerrie. Justin popped out of his chair, "Hello ladies." He said.

"Hi, Justin," Said Shannon.

Justin looked at Shannon, "My groups getting ready." He said proudly. "They are real professional about it."

Just then PJ and Carlos could be heard talking as they came to the front. "Man, PJ, I still say Super Man would have whooped Spawn's ass!"

Shannon just smiled. "Well shall we depart, my groups all on this ship." Said Shannon.

Kerrie looked up in the air, "Alice start automated liftoff." Said Kerrie. The ship did as it was told.

Umbrella Lab

San Antonio, Texas

Saturday December 18th, 2004

7:32 AM EST

Kerrie wanted to go so bad that she had snuck out of the ship along with Robbie. The two would make their way up to the lab alone and meet the rest inside. But the main group had broken up into groups of three. One consisted of Justin, Shannon, and Carlos. The next was PJ Walker, Rebecca Chambers and Sandi Davila. Then there was Barry Burton, Chris Redfield, Jill Valentine and Kerrie's sister Catie. And last but not least was a the group that had Sephiroth, Amie Morris and had to meet with Adam.

Upon entering Adam was met and from what he told them they made their choices. "There are four main wings, North East West and South. Each group should pick one." Said Adam.

Justin spoke up, "We got the North."

Barry smiled, "I'll take West."

Sandi took hers, "I like that East."

Adam looked at them all, "I guess I got the South he said. They all headed their separate ways.

* * * * * * * * * * *

Kerrie and Robbie had made it in through a back way and they were on the North East side. They decided to split up. Kerrie would head into the North and Robbie would take the East. Kerrie mad her way inside silently as did Robbie.

As Kerrie stood up in the hall she entered into she found herself looking at the back of a scientist. It was a woman in a white lab coat. The red carpet made this woman stand out as did the red wall paper. The woman was crouched in the corner.

Kerrie pulled out her gun and stepped closer in, she was loaded down with clips for the gun. "What are you doing ma'am?" Asked Kerrie. The woman did not look back, Kerrie got real close and could see that what ever she had she was hiding it well.

Kerrie touched the back of her head where the blond hair was and got a terrible surprise when part of the skin flapped off. Kerrie stepped back in horror. The woman turned her face partly decomposed and mashed in where her hands had been. "Me need help…so hungry…T-Virus!" Said the woman.

Kerrie knew she could go full zombie any minute so she took the head shot and killed her.

Kerrie let out a sigh of relief as the shot was finished. She kicked the body over and stomped the head, "I'll make sure you don't get up mother fucker!" She said.

Kerrie stepped over the small nasty mess she had just made she walked back towards the part where the others had entered. With luck she would run into them. There was an empty hall way of the same could through the door next to the dead body. Just two windows were there and noting else. She walked into the middle of the hall where she was between the two windows.

She stood for a second with this odd sensation in her mind. Suddenly the glass broken through in the window behind her. A dog came flying in at such an angle that he still hit her. She was knocked flat on her back by this slobbering menace. The dogs body before had looked like just a skinless fashion. But now she could tell it's body was coated in a thick layer of mucus.

They were attack trained dogs and knew what to do. He went straight for her neck, but she stuck her gun in his mouth to block it. She fired off a shot, which sent him sprawling to the floor with a puddle of blood around him. He moved in tight circles because of his kicking in pain.

Kerrie got back to her feet just in time to see him squirm the last time. She made sure to get out of the hall with the windows real quick. She slammed the door behind her. This hall was better. There was a table with a drawer in the middle. On the table was a flowerpot. The flower was dead and perhaps best of all no windows. Kerrie walked to the middle of the hall and opened the drawer; inside she found a key with a smiley face on it. She slipped the key into her coat pocket and turned to face the two doors. She decided to try the one at the end she had entered on first since she was working her way back wards.

She walked over to the door and opened it. From the way it looked the doors lead to one big room. It was an odd room. There were vines on all four walls. And she could not see the ceiling. Muddy water was covering all of the floor except the part by the door. She walked into the middle of the room all the while thinking, why are these vines here and this muddy water.

Unexpectedly there was a hiss and then she was slapped back to the wall furthest from the door. She looked up to see herself staring into the eyes of a snake at least twenty feet long. It was hanging from the ceiling and had hit her with its tail. Kerrie could not fight back, her gun had flow back by the door. She screamed out as loud as she could.

* * * * * * * * * * *

Shannon, Justin and Carlos heard a loud scream coming from the next hallway. Justin turned back to them, "You two take this room here to my right, I'll handle that." He said.

Justin ran off to the next hall and came in to where there was a table in the middle of the hall. The table drawer was open. Someone's been here he thought. But which room do I take.

He just picked the one closet to where he had entered. As he entered he saw a long dark serpent hanging down from the ceiling in front of Kerrie. Kerrie was on a vine covered wall. She was screaming as she stood there.

Justin slid between her and the snake just as it reared back. Kerrie grabbed on to his arm, "Thank God you're here." She said

Justin could not shot fast enough to stop the snake from striking it hit his left fore arm with it's sharp teeth. He yelled, "Shit!" and fired hitting the snake between the eyes, the snake fell into the muddy water. Its brains leaking from it's skull.

Kerrie was quick, "Let me see your arm," she said holding up a vile of yellow substance. He held his arm out and she poured it on. It stung at first, a sign that it was killing the T-Virus the snake carried in its poison. Kerrie then used her magic to take away the pain and close up the wound.

Justin smiled "Thanks sweetie." He said. Justin put his arm

Justin wrapped his arms around her and kissed her. She slammed him back against the wall while still in his arms. She smiled as he fluffed her hair. He then put both his hands up under her arms and ran them down to her hips she just giggled. Justin poked her in the ribs, "That tickles!" She Said.

"How about this?" He nibbled on her neck. She giggled once more.

"I love you." She said.

"I love you, too." Said Justin.

Just as Justin began to slid his hands back up her hips, the door opened. Shannon and Carlos stepped in. "Come look at this…" she said. She didn't seem at all surprised to see Kerrie.

They all exited the room picking up Kerrie's gun on the way out. Justin made sure to stay close to Kerrie. Shannon tried her best to stay away from Carlos. They crossed back into the first room where Justin Shannon and Carlos had started out. They went into the room that they had been checking while Justin was gone.

Tall glass tubes filled with water stood all around the room. In them were a Bandit Snatcher, a Licker, a Black Licker, and a Dog. Carlos looked at them all. "I don't like to see them up close amigo." He said.

"I know what you mean," Said Kerrie.

Shannon looked at them, "This is one gross ass mission." She said.

Carlos looked at her, "Then warm up to me baby." He said.

"You are gross," said Shannon. Carlos smiled.

Kerrie looked at the glass cased monsters. "I wonder how you know when they are ready?"

Then without warning the case containing the dg opened. The dog charged out but was shot once by Justin. It jumped at Shannon but Carlos pushed her out of the way. She hit the ground and he landed on top of her. From the ground she took the last shot hitting the dog in the head. Its mucus covered body flew to the ground blood out pouring from it.

Then the case with the Licker opened. Kerrie took five shots to it's face but when it swung at her she had to move quick. He hit the wall where a computer was, breaking the screen open. The Licker turned back to see where his pray was. Carlos shot five shots into it's back and then one into it's face. It's barb like tongue lashed out. It tore a wall as it thrashed violently.

Shannon shot the last shot to its face and it hit the floor with a loud thud. Right as she did the worst possible scenario came true. The Black Licker and Bandit Snatcher were released together. They both jumped out. The Black Licker jumped at Carlos Shannon pushed him down this time. "Just returning the favor." She said.

She pushed her lips down on Carlos'. He seemed suddenly surprised. Then the Bandit Snatcher knocked her off the top of him with its hand. The huge skinless creature swung both its arms out and hit Kerrie and Carlos at once. Justin and Shannon fired at both creatures at once.

The Black Licker jumped into the wall and tore off some of the metal after it missed Justin. He shot the monster in the back of the head and moved quick to get out of the way. He was barely missed by the monster.

The Bandit Snatcher was having more fun. He hit Shannon into a wall but received one bullet from Kerrie. He then knocked her back into the wall. She hit her head and landed on the floor next to the dead dog. Carlos then went to check on both the girls. He went to shoot the Bandit Snatcher but was knocked back into the remains of a glass tube. The glass shot across the floor and all around.

Justin could see he had the perfect chance to dispel one of the creatures. He could see that the Bandit Snatcher was facing towards the other direction. Justin waited until the Black Licker could see him real good and had a nice clear shot at his head.

The Licker jumped with its claw like hand outstretched and ready for the kill. Just as it was about to swing on Justin, he moved. The Licker flew out and swung it's powerful arm into the Bandit Snatcher. The Bandit Snatcher's head twisted off and fell on the floor.

The Licker looked from side to side for a new victim. He saw Kerrie next to the dead dog and the broken computer screen. He jumped at her and she rolled out of the way. The Licker's arm came down in the screen and a spark flew out. A sudden jolt of electricity went up his arm and killed him instantly. Kerrie got to her feet and stepped over by Carlos and Shannon.

Shannon smiled. "I guess I have a boyfriend." Said Shannon.

"That you do," Said Carlos.

The Turks: Zombie Case

Chapter 11: It all heats up

Umbrella Lab

San Antonio, Texas

Saturday December 18th, 2004

7:40 AM EST

PJ stepped into an open hall with plenty of décor. It seemed that he had taken the part that everyone wanted. There were two doors right in the first hall. He could see a flower pot on a small table in the middle of the hall.

The carpet was red and had a foot wide green stripe running down either side of the wall. PJ pulled Rebecca up next to him. "This is going to be great!" PJ said with a wide and promising smile. "Just you Sandi, and me of course she can help…" He said.

Sandi smiled slightly, "I really think this is not the time for jokes." She looked at Rebecca.

Rebecca's young cute face smiled back as they explored the room. "I don't mind it." She said. She then remembered something. "These Umbrella Buildings are usually filled with puzzles. And we may run into some riddles too." She acknowledged.

PJ looked at the two doors. "Which should we take first?" He asked as he stepped towards them. All of the sudden there was a strong and pungent smell that poured into their nostrils and filled the air.

Sandi grabbed her nose in disgust as did Rebecca. PJ just stepped off from the door with his hand over his nose. He stepped back up and opened the slowly. The second it was open the smell rushed out stronger than ever to meet them. As they looked in the room there was a book shelf and a metal table. The floor was hard and there was a body on an autopsy table.

Rebecca stepped over to the decaying body. She looked at it. "No G-Virus. He died of something else." She said.

Sandi looked at her. "Does that make it any better," she said. Sandi stepped into the room despite the smell. She walked over to the book shelf to see what she could find. There were many books: The Human Genotype, Human Behavior, The Animal Within, Behavior Modification, Diary… Sandi stopped. "Hey guys I found something. Above the shelf were the words: "What you can see you don't want…What you can't see can't hurt you…"

There was a second where Rebecca and PJ seemed to be afraid to look. But Sandi held up the book labeled Diary and they heaved a sigh of relief as they saw the book. Sandi looked down at it. "I think that we could find something in this…listen up. She opened it and began to read.

"November 3rd, 2004

"The new A-Virus is great! Birkin was a genus, but this new chick…Janis Preston is the best. And man is she fine. But even better yet is her daughter, Sara. Although her daughter is not quit as excited about all this stuff here.

"Any way…compared to Sara, Birkin was an idiot. She cut the Virus' amp time down to three minutes, if the subject is active. Six if they are not. But now the units are much more efficient. They can handle weapons. Stay out without refrigeration and none of those pesky symptoms to warn the infected person that they have anything at all. It's beautiful, one second you are normal; the next you have become a mindless pawn in the little game of science.

"We can't wait until it's time to do away with the rouges and the rest of the cities in the world. Our plan is, if we infect people and control them we rule the world. But the first infected will have the A-Virus, but they will carry the B-Virus, a slower Virus that takes weeks to work. We will use this because we manufacture the only known cure, the C-Virus, and we can sell it at unGodly prices. And our stock will sky rocket within days.

That's it for now…Albert Wesker.

Sandi looked up from the book, "All and all Albert Wesker seems pretty evil." She said.

A light and heart filled English voice entered their ears that made them all turn. She verified Sandi's thought as she stood in the door way. "Aye, he is an evil one…" She stated. The girl who could not be more than nineteen stood there holding a Colt Python in her hand. She had long red hair that was curled at the tips, it looked like an expensive and well kept thing. She seemed to have just come back from the salon. She had on a green dress that was lightly splattered with blood. She seemed exhausted. Her skin was pale and sweaty; the light of the room made it kind of glow with some sort of aura. She wore deep red lipstick as if she had been at some sort of banquet. The weirdest thing about her was her shining purple eyes and the fact that she was not smiling but seemed radiant anyway.

Rebecca smiled, "My name is Rebecca Chambers and these two are Sandi Davila and the door.

"This is ridiculous, this isn't some John Prentiss Walker. We are here to take out Albert Wesker." She said.

The girl looked at her stepping forward with a smile. "My name is Sara, and go right ahead, and take out the others while you're at it." She said.

"Why are you dressed so…sexy?" PJ asked. Rebecca elbowed him.

Sara smiled. "I was suppose to be taking my mothers place after tonight and helping in the labs. But I want nothing to do with this. I think it's evil." Said Sara.

"So what are you doing?" Asked Sandi.

"Well I broke out of the ceremony and had to fight off some of those damn zombies." She sighed. "This Colt took care of them, yet I did get my dress wet, what." She said, her accent really showing on the last part, the 'what'.

There was the sound of gun shots then the door burst open from the other side. A rush of people in black suits was what followed. The each carried M16s and had pretty good aim. PJ shut the large metal door real fast to assure they were not killed. "The Zombies!" Screamed Sara.

PJ pulled out his Beretta and then snatched Rebecca's. He told them to take cover next to the door so that they could close the door using the button. He told them to open the door.

The doors opened and the zombies were there ready. He fired running past the door very quickly. Both guns blazing. He took out three of them in the first run by, and wounded one in the next. He kept up his run until Rebecca closed Woo movie, Give me my gun!" She said snatching it back. Sara giggled.

Sara then walked to the back wall opposite the door. She pulled a book that read Poems and there was at first a loud rumble and then the bookshelf began to spin. It stopped after it had turned so that the sides were out. Sara motioned and they followed her into the secret door.

There was a set of steps that they had to go down. The cold cement steps were wet and slippery. They had to hurry since they would soon be entering the lab soon and there could be all manners of horrors down there. PJ looked at Sara, "Where does this lead?" He asked.

"Well through the lab and into the North Wing." She said.

Sandi seemed to get excited, "Shannon, Justin and Carlos are there. This will be fun." Said Sandi.

As she finished they could here the sound of the door back up stairs burst open. The zombies could be heard rushing towards the secret door. As they reached the base of the steps they could hear the zombies charging down the stairs. The M16s blazed and the air filled with the sound of automatic fire. Sara was the first to find the light switch. She flipped and the room was suddenly illuminated by a Florissant glow. The group headed across the hard stainless steel floor. Blood dotted the ground all over. There was a new sound back at the top of the steps. A dog barking. The pitter patter of dogs an their little claws could be heard from far off.

Rebecca looked back. "Those dogs don't have the virus, they just bite and hurt like hell." Said Rebecca.

Rebecca was hit in the back and knocked down. PJ stopped dead in his tracks to help her. The dog had landed on her and was furious. He began to growl at the PJ and then snapped at him with his furious teeth. The dogs locked down on Rebecca's hand and she screamed out in terrible pain. There was a loud shot and the bullet of the Colt Python killed the dog sending it flying. PJ helped her up taking her around the waist. All the time she had carried the small First Aid Kit into Umbrella Labs, she had never used it. She was lucky to be alive. She wrapped her hand in the white sterile bandages she was carrying, but not before cleaning out the wound with an alcohol wipe she had.

All of them ran through the lab dodging all of the equipment left carelessly around. They came to another set of steps and suddenly heard a loud screech. As they headed up to the stairs there was another sounding. Out of the blue came a small crowd of huge black crows. The crows pecked at them and slammed into them. The creatures were huge like monsters and it was becoming so thick with crows that they could not make it to the stairs. Sara screamed,
"My hair, they're caught in my hair!" She dropped the Colt and started to flail around, slapping the crows with frantic hands.

The Colt, went off as it hit the floor hitting the light and putting out the huge bulb. The room was dark. The crows seemed to back off as the lights went out. Rebecca looked at Sara, "Don't you see, What you can see you don't want when we could see the crows they attacked, we didn't want that. What you can't see can't hurt you… now that the lights are gone they can't hurt us!" Said Rebecca.

PJ looked at her as they headed up the stairs, "And you were never hugged as a child." She gave him a peck on the cheek.

"You are so cyute!!" She said.

They reached the top of the stairs and looked back down to the see the progress that the zombies were making. They turned back to the metal door, "This is it," Said Sandi.

As the door swung open they all got a scare from the Licker laying on the ground bleeding. Justin and Kerrie stood a few feet away, his arm around her back. Carlos and Shannon were kissing and a dog, a Black Licker and a Bandit Snatcher lay on the ground in crumpled heaps dead and dying. The bodies torn and ripped from gun fire.

Sandi stepped forward, "You bad girl, sneaking out of the ship." Said she. She pointed to Sara, "This is Sara Preston, rebellious daughter of one of the researcher." Sandi paused. "The main researcher." Sandi pulled out the journal. "I think you should look at this." She said handing Kerrie the book.

Kerrie's mind raced as she held the book, she had a look of fear on her delicate features. Her brown eyes were filled with a glaze over look as if she was afraid of something that might have happened. "Were you wearing gloves when you picked this up?" Kerrie asked, her voice wavering.

Sandi looked down at her hands, "Oh my God." She said. She kept her fearful glance focused on her hands. "I don't believe I could be so stupid!" Sandi wept openly into her hand she even began to whine. "Now my finger prints are all over the room!" Sandi said.

Carlos couldn't take any more, "Don't leak your eyes out…" he started. "…we can torch the place when we're out…it would be for the best!" He said finally.

PJ, Justin and Kerrie looked at him all at once. For the first time they saw that there was an extremely intelligent person. Carlos had been hiding it or it just had not come out at the moment they met. But it was there now. As Carlos told them what would have to be a great escape plan. A plan in which another Umbrella Lab went up in flames.

Rebecca was looking around the room at the extreme damage. Broken glass was everywhere. A Black Licker had its hand stuck into the control panel not to far from where she had come in. On the floor was a Bandit Snatcher with its head twisted backwards as it lay in a puddle of its own blood. The creature's mouth was agape. There were also a dog and a regular Licker that lay against the wall. There were claw marks across the wall that seemed to go exceptionally deep into the hard steel of the wall.

Rebecca took a deep breath, letting it linger and then said, "Looks like you guys cleaned up!" She said with a smile on her youthful face.

Carlos smiled, his grin running across his face. And then he said, "We had to strive to survive!" He held up his index finger as if to declare his statement proudly.

Justin looked at them all as they stood there talking, it was peaceful in here. Peaceful despite the four monstrous bodies on the floor with blood pouring from them. Peaceful despite the rapid flickering of the lights over head. Peaceful enough to make them all seem comfortable in the hostile environment. Justin spoke up, "We need to move out." He said.

Shannon shone as she looked around the room. He eyes becoming shy and afraid. "Maybe we should go find one of the other groups. Like the other STARS members." She said.

Kerrie smiled, "That's a great idea!" She said.

Sara piped up, "There's more of you!" She said hysterically. Her voice wavered quickly. "That means we can take this whole lab." She said.

PJ looked real serious, "What about the gun totting zombies." He said. "They had M16s!" He said.

Justin smiled. "I gotta get me one of them zombie muskets." He said.

Sara smiled, "I'm the daughter of the main researcher. I can tell you all about their programming and that they can't fire from a fifty degree angle." Said Sara.

Kerrie screamed out, "Oh shit," She said with an extra hint of horror in her beautiful voice. She was looking in the long Diary. "What night is the N'SYNC concert?" She asked.

Rebecca smiled, "Tonight. Why?" Said Rebecca asking her question.

"We have to warn them!" Said Kerrie.

Carlos joked. "I wish I had four million teen aged girls screaming my name!" Said Carlos.

Kerrie mock laughed, "This is no joking matter, listen:

"…We have found the best way to release the first stand of the Virus. There is to be some silly boy band concert next month, N' something or other. We want to let the virus out there, in the form of a few infected crowd members. As of this week we have them all ready to head into the stadium. I love this plan…"

PJ looked down at his feet in distress, "All those fine little honeys." Said PJ.

"We have to get your friends and get out!" Said Sara. "So I suggest that we head back the way we came." Said Sara."

"We don't have radios so we have to find a PA system." Said Sandi.

Sara frowned, "There's one in the lab but that's past the Banquet Hall, that's where everyone is!" Sara had a hint of despair in her voice.

Justin dropped his half full clip into a waiting hand and put in a full one. There was a reluctant snap as the clip popped into place. "Well I call that first M16, when that zombie drops, I get his gun." Said Justin.

There was a loud boom and they could tell that about five zombies were at the top of the steps. Sara waited for the zombies to step back and right when they rushed she opened the door. The six zombies burst in, there were one more than expected. All of them were popped in the head before they could regain the fighting bearing. Justin snatched a gun from one of their dry and decaying clutches. He took the gun in his gloved hands and looked at it, half full clip. He then looked at the zombie's side, seven more clips, damn aren't you boys decked out? He thought. Justin slipped the clips off and came up to see the others doing the same. He put away his Beretta and tossed the M16 in the air catching it. "I love this gun." He said.

Sara looked at them, "There's one less, I'll keep the Colt." She said. She stood next to the door. "Well why don't we let this door open and light em' up!" She said.

The other six stood in front of the door waiting, their fingers on the triggers and the guns aimed for shots high on the body. The doors swung open and the guns were blazing. The ring of automatic fire filled the air. Waves of the zombie gunman fell as they were hit with the pulsing shots. The Colt Python pushed the putrefying menaces down to the floor; some of them fell over the stairs.

Sara dropped her gun and ran over behind the glass containers that had held the monsters earlier. She ran her fingers across the steel grated floor to find something as the gun fight continued.

Luckily the others could reload when the other five were shooting. Sara stopped and grabbed a handle on the ground pulling up part of the floor. She hefted out a huge grenade launcher and slowly drug it back the others, "Hey guys!" she said upon reaching them.

Kerrie backed up giving the cease-fire. Shannon helped her. All of the group stopped. Upon seeing the huge artillery the zombies slowly backed down the steps still firing the M16. Sara lifted the gun a twenty five-degree angle. PJ ran back with the round. He shoved it in and the second it was fully in she fired.

The round jumped from the gun and out the door. It landed outside the door in between a group of about a score of zombies. The zombies were blown off the stairs and so was the rail! The remaining two score of zombies were badly injured and began to retreat down the steps running and not looking back. But they still fired blindly.

The Turks and their accomplices ran after them, firing and picking up clips as they went. They wasted about ten of the forty retreating zombies before Sara got the grenade launcher reloaded. She aimed higher for more distance, taking in to consideration that the group was moving. She fired and the round jumped from the barrel and sailed through the air slowly. It came down between the group blowing the other thirty to pieces. Justin walked over to the pile and scattered a few bullets into the group to see if he could catch a live one.

Shannon wiped the sweat off her brow and heaved a sigh. "That was exciting." She said.

Sara smiled, and her English accent came out in full and pure, "That bloody lot is not going to forget that, the blokes!" She said.

Carlos smiled, "You're cute, but what the hell did you say?" He asked. Everyone looked at him. He tried to recover, "You better run you bloody lot, or…I'll make you bloody a lot more!" He said.

Sara giggled, but Shannon seemed upset. "Well if you're done can we proceed?" She said smugly.

Justin looked down, "Wait, let's grab more guns and clips, when we meet the others we'll need them!" Said Justin.

They all picked an extra gun. Sandi loosed her clip and reloaded the gun. They dug through the dead bodies to find as many clips as they could carry. Rebecca loaded her First Aid Kit with clips, removing noting but taking up the empty space. When they were weighted down with clips they headed up the other side of the stairs the dim light from the lamps in the lab at their backs, they knew the result of turning on the light. With in seconds they were back in the room where the bookshelf was and the metal tables for operation were.

Adam cursed aloud throwing his map down, "I can't believe Wesker gave me the wrong map!" He said.

Amie looked at him, "That's what you get for being a trader!" She accused.

Sephiroth just looked at her, "Don't be so hard on him, I was bad once too…"

"I'm not bad, I was protecting Kerrie!" Yelled Adam.

Amie bit back, "Protecting her how? By turning us over to Umbrella?" She said accusingly.

Adam shot back, "You'll never understand me, Amie." He said looking down.

Amie rolled her eyes in a rude way and walked off ahead of the others. She took time and stopped leaning against a rather large wall panel, she yawned and stretched hitting a small circle on the wall pattern. The wall panel spun swinging Amie around out of sight.

"Amie! It took her!" Said Sephiroth.

Adam stared at him as he ran to where she had fallen, "No big loss…" He said. Sephiroth grabbed Adam's hand and threw him against the wall panel. He then pushed the button. He rode down with Adam.

* * * * * * * * * * *

Jill adjust her Lucky Hat with her hands, she was rather enjoying her self, as they exchanged shots with the Commando Zombies. They were rather well trained with the guns they used, but as normal the head shots were the nail in the coffin. The West wing was the one with the most action. It must have been the one where the zombies slept or did what they did in their free time.

Chris took his time firing and aiming, he had made nothing but head shots, once he knocked one's head off. They were now on the way back to the front to see if they could be of any help to the others. They were in the last hall before the main front room where they had started.

Catie McCurrian was not the best shot in the world, but he did get a hold of a zombie's M16 machine gun. And everyone knows when it's automatic; you don't have to aim. He took out a score, and it was clear he could hold his own.

Barry Burton had no trouble using the extreme force of his Uzi in the battle, he only made head shots, unlike Catie, who was spraying bullets.

There was the smell of adrenaline in the hall. The blaze of bullets, but since the wall stuck out every so often and there was only two zombies left, Chris Redfield jumped out from behind the wall and jabbed the two zombies down with his Combat Knife. Blood gushed from the open wounds that Chris had just added to the Zombies' neck. The two undead dropped to their knees soon after planting their faces in the red carpet below.

Chris picked up the weapons the zombies had used and dealt them out to all. He picked the clips off the bodies and passed them out too. Soon they were on the move back down the hall towards the entrance. The short hall was littered with the dead warriors.

Jill reached the door with Barry close behind, they rolled to the side and waited next to the door. Barry lifted his leg and kicked the door out. It burst through, and all of them rolled out guns at ready. Catie looked around, "What no party."

The second he said those words and they sail across the air there was a loud cock sound and about forty zombies came out from behind all of the furniture, with weapons aimed at the them.

A man stepped out from behind the door to the East Wing, he had a dark facade about him. He wore a black trench coat and black slacks underneath it. He had on a pair of sunglasses and dark brown hair. He walked with a limp, as if he had taken a big fall. He stepped out of his hiding place, "Drop your weapons," he said.

The STARS could see they were out numbered, they all let the weapons drop to the floor. It seemed hopeless. And in one instant there was a scream. And a door opened up over head letting out a girl. The man in the trench coat looked up, "Amie?" Said the man.

Amie landed on him, "Cody." Said Amie.

Cody fired a shot into Amie's side whether on accident or purposely. Then Sephiroth and Adam came swinging down the same tube. They landed on Cody too. Chris, Catie, Jill and Barry took the opportunity and shot some of the zombies. They moved for cover behind the door to the East.

A major gun battle was the result, and it was probable that the STARS were on the down side. They only about half a full clip each. Jill's gun cocked once, and she was out. Barry's gun was the next, then Catie and Chris. They had only one clip at most in the Berettas, not enough to do damage of any sort. There was no hope, they put their hands in the air dropping the guns.

Cody stood out of the pile; he smiled, "I can't wait to get rid of you all, then I can take out Wesker and take his job and his woman," Said Cody.

Then from no where came a cloud of smoke preceded by a grenade. It landed in the group of Zombies vaporizing the ones on the inside, and setting the ones on the outside ablaze.

At the end of the hall stood Sara, holding the grenade launcher. Around her were Justin, Kerrie, Sandi, Carlos, Shannon, PJ and Rebecca. They all held M16s and looked ready to kill. On the other end were Sephiroth, a wounded Amie in his arms, and Adam.

Sandi looked at them all, "Excuse me for taking charge, but I think we should hit and run."

Kerrie smiled, "Gotcha!" Kerrie lifted a small speaker, "Alice, lock on to my position and hold out South West of my position." She put it away.

The guns went up and they charged out, Justin yelled out, "Sephiroth get her out the door." He yelled to him as he took out one of the zombies.

Kerrie slammed her gun into a zombie's back tearing out the flesh and knocking down the fiend. "These guys don't play." Justin took a kick in the ribs by one of the zombies, he fell but PJ got him up.

PJ smiled, "You okay man?"

Justin grabbed his side, "Naw. I think I broke a rib." He said. Despite the rib Justin kept a good pace.

Carlos ran over to Adam pushing him, "Stir your ass Glasgow." Said Carlos forcing him towards the door. Kerrie was in the lead and was the first out.

Sandi and Rebecca dealt Cody a blow to the back with the gun butt. He fell to the ground, he was stepped on by Justin and PJ. Barry Chris and Jill let Catie out first while covering him with the guns they picked up from the dead. They then escaped leaving Shannon and Sara there. Shannon and Sara got by the door and as Sara load the last grenade, Shannon covered her.

Sara aimed high, but was shot in the chest, just inches from her heart. The grenade went out and the door closed behind them. Shannon and Barry grabbed Sara up (mostly Barry).

TheHiH Highwind's long ramp was the first thing they saw. The three were the last up and the ship took off just as they took off.

The Zombies lay dead, Cody could barely stand as Wesker entered the room. "Well Cody you failed me and tried to commit mutiny against me. But since you have the A-Virus I won't get my hands dirty." He smiled. Cody just stood. "Put that gun to your ugly face and do away with yourself." He said.

Cody put the M16 to his face and fired. He fell to the ground dead. Wesker place a cigarette in his mouth and lit it, "Ah…that's beautiful." Said Wesker taking a puff.

It was then that he saw a boy standing in the melee, it was Robbie.

The Highwind

5:42 PM EST

Justin looked at Kerrie, "Hey babe I was on the net finding what I could about the concert." He said. "It features a lot of artist performing for the AIDS foundation, like Limp Bizkit, Lisa Lobe, and Buster Rhymes." He said.

Kerrie frowned, "Where's Adam?" She asked.

Justin kept looking at the papers, "He's in the jail cell, we found out he has the B-Virus…he can't be trusted." Said Justin.

Kerrie looked at Justin, "I am gonna beat the crap out of him, he lied to me."

Justin was so tired of hearing about Adam; he just talked around the subject, "Kerrie I made a great choice. You will go onstage and play guitar with Blink and Lisa, just to keep security up. At the end there will be one song with them together. You will be in that group, to keep the stage calm." Justin paused. "The rest of the Turks will hang out in the stadium, to keep the crowd controlled. Shannon's group will act as sharp shooters and pick off the A-Virus carriers." Justin smiled. "Funniest of all is the STARS are acting as the personal body guards of all the bands." Said Justin. "They are there right now."

Kerrie smiled, "Did they split up, this should be amusing."

Justin kissed Kerrie, "We should get going."

Kerrie looked at her dresses, "I'm still in my underwear dork, what should I wear." Said Kerrie.

"Well your makeup's done and you have on the blue earrings, so just wear that blue dress." Said Justin.

Kerrie sat on the bed next to Justin, he put the paper down. "Justin…"

Justin took up before she could finish, "What's wrong?" He asked.

Kerrie looked distressed. "I think that dress makes me…me…look…fat." She said.

Justin looked at her, "You're fat in all the right places." Kerrie smiled her eyes glowing. She rushed in the bathroom.

"Well…I guess if you say so…it must be true." Kerrie stuck her head out, "I'll wear it!" She said.

Five minutes later she twirled out of the bathroom with a tight blue strapless dress on that stopped right above the knee. She had on some blue high heeled shoes and some not so dark stockings. She had long gloves that matched her dress and shoes. She sat next to Justin.

He smiled, "Well, I had no idea that you were going to look that good, we may end up making out instead of helping the band." Said Justin. Justin ran his hand through the side of her hair. "I love you."

Kerrie smiled, "I love you too." She said. In her eyes he could see distress.

"Kerrie, what's the problem?" Said Justin.

Kerrie's glance fell upon her guitar, "Justin…I've never played in front of that many people before." She said.

Justin smiled, "You perform better under pressure, and you look lovely, and we all know you can sing." Said Justin reassuringly.

Kerrie smiled at him her eyes really glowing this time. She let her teeth show this time. Justin looked at her. "You got a little lipstick on your teeth." He walked over and kissed her. "I think I got it."

Kerrie stood up and lifted the guitar. She looked back at Justin as she held it. "Justin, will you go with me to see Adam?" She asked.

Justin looked at her, his eyes filled with concern. "I'll do it…for you sweet heart." Said Justin.

The couple walked out of the room and down the hall in the direction opposite the engine room. There was one holding cell. Kerrie walked over and took the keys off the wall. She then opened the door. Adam was sleep. She sat on the bottom bunk, her voice was low and sad, "Adam…wake up."

He came awake quickly. "Kerrie…I was hoping you'd come." Said Adam.

"Well I came to ask what did you think you were doing?" Kerrie said suddenly angry.

Justin sat next to her and kissed her. Adam just sighed, "If you go on like that the Trojan man is going to be here giving us a lecture." Said Adam sarcastically.

Kerrie couldn't help it she jumped up and slapped Adam. Her psychic powers threw him out of the bed and onto the floor. He landed with a thud. And went to get up.

Justin grabbed Kerrie, "Cut that out, honey." Justin urged her. He kissed the back of her neck, but she just darted off out of the cell using her mind to put the keys back. Justin got to the door before it closed. He closed it behind himself and ran off after her.

* * * * * * * * * * *

Justin found Kerrie on the deck of the Highwind sitting in the corner, she was about to cry, and since the makeup she was wearing was waterproof it gave her no reason to stop. She was balled up in the corner her guitar next to her as she sat there. Kerrie's eyes were red with irritation from the tears. She wiped them with her arm quickly.

Justin stepped up to her, "Need some help beautiful?" He sat on the ground next to her.

Kerrie tried to stop since he was there, Be strong Kerrie. She looked at him, her eyes still red and tearing, yet slower. There was a terrible seriousness in her face that scared Justin. "Justin, do I deserve this torment…this endless emotional pain?" She asked.

Justin looked at her, "Kerrie, you deserve better no matter how good it gets for us. I will always feel that way, but…" Justin put his hand on her leg. "…but I will do whatever I can to make you feel better." Justin smiled at her. She stopped crying as hard. "How about a romantic candle light dinner for two?" He asked.

"Really Justin that's not enough…I want more!" She whined.

"Okay…we've only taken a short vacation from work. I mean it's been three years of work with only one week." Justin smiled. "That's what we'll do." Justin paused. "Have you ever met Fred Dersh?"

Kerrie looked at him, she was feeling much better. "Who is Fred whatever?" She asked.

Justin smiled, "Limp Bizkit…do the words Break Stuff or Sour ring a bell?" Asked Justin.

Kerrie looked perplexed. "No…"

"Let's see, Nookie!" He said.

Kerrie slapped him. "I told you not to use dirty words like that around me!" She said. "Don't use them at all."

Justin was holding his face where it was red. "It's a song's name…Limp is playing as one of the Opening acts at the concert."

Kerrie looked at him. "Sing part of one of the songs for me." She said.

"Uh…Break Stuff…

"It's just one of those days

You don't wanna wake up

Everything is stupid

Everybody sucks…"

Kerrie smiled, "That's good, but I think that Slim Shady song Stan is my favorite, it made me cry.

"My tears gone cold, I'm wonder 'n why

I got out of bed at all

Morning rain clouds at my window

But I can't see at all

And even if I could it would still be great

To put your picture on my wall

It reminds me that it's not so bad

It's not so bad…"

Kerrie smiled, "Of course that was Dido singing…" Said Kerrie

Justin took her hand, "Your voice is so sexy." He said with a big smile.

"No…it's small and squeaky…"She said.

Justin ignored it, "And when you try to do that baby talk thing, ya' know when you want to say something is cute, that voice is real sexy." Said Justin. Their lips got closer and closer. They almost kissed and then Justin's watch went off.

Kerrie screamed out, "O my God we should be at the Alamo Dome." She jumped up and ran out yelling to Alice instructions.

Justin looked at his watch, "Damn you…this isn't the first time you've caused me trouble!"

Alamo Dome

San Antonio, Texas

Saturday December 18th, 2004

6:00 PM EST

Back stage was odd to the STARS. Chris, Jill and Rebecca were rather enjoying talking to the N'SYNC boys. Joey, Justin, JC, Chris and Lance were warming up their act for tonight's show. The rehearsed moves and check the choreography of the dance steps.

Limp Bizkit's Fred Dersh was surprised to see anyone having to actually rehearsed moves for dance. He just jumped around and broke stuff. He could go over the lyrics to his songs in his head a hundred times. Chainsaw…skin your ass raw. He could visualize the band behind him, playing, strumming, drumming, playing.

He peeked out into the hall that lead onto the stage. He could see that the Alamo Dome had the slow echoes of many. The place was full. There were little kids that whined to get up. And teenaged girls stood holding a long banner with the words, We love you Lance, written across it.

JC looked at Fred, "Head out there and calm the crowd down. Would you?" Said JC.

Fred just gave him a high five, "Yeah sure man!" Said Fred. Fred walked out into the dim hall. A light at the end of the hall flickered rapidly making a slight buzz sound as it did. Fred stepped through the light and into the large dome. He went over to the stage where he could see Kid Rock, who was up first, was setting up his things.

"Yo Rock, tell em' your name!" Said Fred.

Rock jumped down, "Is it time to start already?" Said Rock.

"Yeah, so tell the band to go." Said Fred.

Kid Rock hefted his guitar back onto the stage. Kerrie came running out of the back wit ha guitar in her hand, "I just got here and I'm suppose to play the song with Kid Rock!" She said. Fred pointed in the right direction for her to go.

Kerrie rushed up to the stage, guitar in hand, she got over next to Rock, "Where's the amp?" She asked.

Kid looked up, "It's right there babe." He said pointing to the amp. Kerrie seemed nervous as she walked to plug her guitar in.

She sat on top of the amp and started to strum just for practice. Kid Rock watched her for a while she strummed. "You're pretty good…ready to go?" He asked.

Kerrie stood and walked to the front of the stage, he legs wobbly and nervous as she reached the front. She put the guitar in the right place in her arms. She looked to her side to see Lisa Lobe playing second guitar along with her. Lisa smiled and walked up to her, "Hi, I'm…"

"You're Lisa Lobe…and" Kerrie couldn't finish be fore Lisa said.

"You're Kerrie McCurrian!" Lisa smiled. "The Turk."

"Yes…nice to meet you." Said Kerrie.

"Nice to meet you too." Said Lisa. "Man it's hot in here, they said it wasn't working but that guy from the air company hauled some big barrels up there and said they were for the air…but it's still not on."

"I feel it too." Said Kerrie.

"But the show must go on."

Right then they heard the cue to start, the word Cowboy said by and electronic voice. Kerrie and Lisa played. The notes flowing from the guitars. Kerrie was nervous at first, and then as she played she became less aware of the audience. She began to sing the lines to the song…not caring that she could be heard because of the mic on her body. She didn't care.

Lisa too sang the words. She swept the dirty blonde hair from her eyes and continued. Her playing was perfect, every note was struck just right. And then from beside them there was two great spark shooters.

A platform rose out of the ground behind Kerrie and Lisa. On top of the platform was Kid Rock. He held the mic singing into it. And his band Twisted Brown was in the back playing there hearts out.

The group did justice to the song as they sung it with perfect accuracy.

When the song was over it was time for Lisa to go get ready. That left Kerrie as lead guitar. She looked around. Rock jumped down off of his plat form landing next to her. "The next song is Rovin' Gangster." He took the mic that Lisa had left, so that he could sing into.

Kerrie started the cords. Uncle Cracker, Kid Rock's mixer followed behind by laying down the scratches. Kerrie kept good pace. Kid Rock began to sing. The words were like his own children, he remembered them all.

"Well everything's tight from my loop to my friends.

Ain't got time to tighten up loose ends

Uhh…

I've been that route too many times

If I ain't stabbed in the back

I ain't written no rhymes"

Kerrie smiled to be a part of this was real special. The song ended on a good note, and it seemed that Kerrie was getting better, but it was time for Rock to take a brake. He walked off the stage taking a bow and giving thanks as he did.

Kerrie ran off behind and curtsied once she was off, "Love Ya'!" She said blowing a kiss.

* * * * * * * * * * *

Chris Redfield was hanging out with Buster Rhymes. He was one of the few artist that Chris liked. Chris and Buster had more fun than they should. And it was easy to tell. When you hang out with a super star you get more attention.

Rebecca and Carlos were with N'SYNC to guard them, although it was unclear exactly when the Zombies would be loosed, there was still a great deal to be done. And they could be sure that Albert Wesker and Janis Preston had found their way into this plan.

Desiree was on stand by in case someone got injured. But it seemed more like she was on N'SYNC detail. She chased the boy band all around asked for autographs.

There was a great deal of persistence, so the boys just gave her the autograph and got back to work. N'SYNC was up next, so they were escorted to the stage by Rebecca and Carlos. The two stood at the back and watched with a trained eye from the back of the stage to see what happened.

The group started to talk but the screaming of the crowd was interrupting. There was a girl on the front row that ripped off her shirt. Carlos jumped forward, "Oh my damn! Those are huge!" He yelled.

The group continued but JC started to laugh. Lance took the mic, he smiled. "We have a special friend back stage, whose wedding we performed at. He wanted us to bring his wife up here and embarrass her in front of…" Lance paused the crowd screamed. "In front of five thousand screaming teenagers." The screamed again.

JC stepped up, "Put your boobs away and put your hands for our friend Kerrie Marie Caynon McCurrian!" He yelled. The crowd applauded screaming and hollering. Justin forced Kerrie out the door and Carlos and Rebecca grabbed her and pushed up to the band. They let her trough and formed a line so she could not run back.

Justin Timberlake took the mic and said, "Justin Caynon of the Turks would like to dedicate this song to you, Kerrie." They let her walk back before they started. Rebecca and Carlos giggled as she walked past. Kerrie darted backstage.

She walked up to Justin, "First of all…" she said. Kerrie slapped him. "Second of all…" she gave him a kiss. "That was the sweetest thing you could do!" She said. It was the same song from their wedding, A Little More Time On You.

There was a movement in the back of the crowd that caught the eyes of Rebecca and Carlos. The only thirty-year-old man in the crowd was wondering around near the door. Rebecca's radio on her side went off. "Come in…come in." Said the voice of Shannon. She sounded weak and hurt.

Rebecca grabbed it and talked back, "What's up?" Said she.

Shannon spoke, weaker than before. "They had silencers on the guns…they brought zombies and a monster. He has long claws." Shannon took a breath. "I was shot in the gun battle. The security guards were killed." Shannon gasped, "Hurry."

Rebecca's radio slid back into her pocket. She thought, Oh shit…the Tyrant it's back…and this place it no where we can get a hold of a rocket launcher. She looked at the roof, the open up roof this place is brand new, the old Alamo Dome is on the other side of town. The roof opens!

She pushed her ear piece in, "Jill, can you hear me?" Said Rebecca.

Jill spoke into hers, "Yes, Wuz up Beck," Said Jill.

Rebecca's voice was filled with fright as she said. "I just got a call from Shannon." Rebecca ran over to the exit, she ran up the steps while talking. "She told me that the Tyrant monster is here!" Rebecca pushed the door open and looked out into the hall. All the fans that had been on the way to or from the rest room were on the ground as a woman with an Uzi stood over them telling them to keep quiet.

Jill spoke, "Okay I'll get the rest of the team in position, and I'll call in air support for the Rocket Launcher." Said Jill.

Rebecca said, "Okay out." There was some thing that caught her attention, the woman with the gun was standing next to a line of people. They were in straight rows of five, the rows were ten people thick. The zombies. She thought.

The one with the gun heard some girl crying on the ground. She walked over to her, "Oh what's your name?" Asked the woman with the Uzi.

The girl answered, "Janis…" She was still crying.

The woman with the gun stood, "Oh really…that's my name too and guess what?" She smiled. "We can't have two Janis' running around now, can we?" she aimed the gun, "Bye, now…this won't hurt a bit!" She said. She aimed the gun and fired straight through the girl's head. The blood sprayed on the floor. After the clip ran out the gun clicked once and stopped. She had sent a whole clip through a girl's head…

"Anyone else?" She asked. Everyone's head shook no. Rebecca ran out and tackled the woman, knocking the gun from her hand.

"You must be Sara's mother!" Said Rebecca.

Janis got the gun back and pushed Rebecca against the wall. She hit the spot next to Shannon. Janis smiled, "I won't kill you yet, unless your name is Janis," She laughed wickedly. She looked at the zombies, "Is that hilarious or what."

One zombie spoke up, "A laugh riot man." He said dully.

Janis reloaded, "Then laugh." Said Janis. She shot Rebecca in the leg.

The zombie's laughed as Rebecca wrenched in pain. She lay next Shannon as they all trotted off to get in position. She reached for her first aid bag and retrieved some painkillers and alcohol wipes. She cleaned around the stomach wound. Then she popped the painkillers in Shannon's mouth.

The crowd was thick as Chris, Jill and Barry worked their way through them. There was no doubt it was about to begin. Justin Kerrie and PJ moved up between the other side. They had cached some M16s from earlier in a hidden case by the door.

Albert Wesker was moving down the isle his gun was not drawn and he did not need it, but he could see the crowd was well distracted. There was not enough time to finish the plan before the song by N'SYNC ended. So he was going to wait.

He stood near the front of the isle where the stadium went down at an inward slope. N'SYNC finished and made a grand exit. As they left steam started to shot down onto the stage. The ground was fogged up and the fog began to rise off the ground. It drifted up into the air a little and then there was a big white light shinning through the steam.

The band rose out of the smokiness and there was a loud sound. A sound like an out of tune guitar. Fred Dersh was in the middle of the band. He jumped out and sang the song that Justin had recited for Kerrie.

Wesker thought that he would supply ample sound and distraction.

Justin, PJ, and Kerrie picked up the guns unnoticed and moved out into the concession area. Barry Chris and Jill stayed to make sure nothing was up. They drew the Berettas and gt through the door.

Justin and Kerrie held PJ back, the group of zombies could be seen standing the perfect rows. There was exactly two score and a half. Justin slapped a clip into the M16, he turned up his ear piece and spoke openly. "Jill, you three circle around when I tell you shots fired you come in through the back and just take them out." Said Justin.

Jill came back, "Roger that." She said. Her voice fizzled out with static.

Justin and Kerrie moved around through the path unseen. They were at the back of the zombies. A woman at the front was holding an Uzi. She was walking away from the corner. She turned away. PJ came up between the two and took aim at the heads.

Kerrie was ready to strike, "On the count of three…One…."

PJ was next, "Two…"

Justin waited for his, "…Three!" They dived out taking out two zombies before any of them could notice. The shots were quiet almost unheard because of the silencer. Ten zombies were down before they had a chance to fight back.

The Uzi holder yelled to them, "Back up and fire at the same time…do not stand!" She was angry.

Justin yelled, "Shots fired, I repeat, shots fired!" His voice was loud and clear.

PJ looked off to the side, "Oh shit, Rebecca, Shannon!" He pointed it out.

Kerrie looked, Rebecca was still moving quit well, and Shannon seemed to be coming to. "Don't let up, or we'll be killed!" Said Kerrie.

She could hear the band change again, it was the song Absolutely by Nine Days. She smiled at Justin, "A happy bouncy time for a happy bouncy song." She said.

They had cut down half the zombies by now. The Uzi woman, who by now they had figured was Janis Preston, moved through into the crowd ditching the Uzi outside the door. Once inside she headed for Wesker.

Chris Jill and Barry moved from the back taking out five zombies on contact. The fire power was intense and there was more to come. In an instant there was the brash breaking of glass and the biggest monster they had seen in months came through the door.

It had a deformed face with some kind of organic intestine looking tube going into the side of it's face. Its teeth were green and they showed it's gums. The eyes were pale and glazed over as if the creature was blind. His body had the tube running in and out in certain spots. He was a greenish gray all over, with the occasional red mark or light pink exposed organ. His arms were muscular, as were his legs, but the most horrible thing about the creature was his claws, on his hands there were these huge protruding claws that looked as if they could cut down a giant red wood.

They hid in one large indention in the wall. Jill Barry and Chris finished off what they could. Barry looked at the monster, "Tyrant!" He said.

PJ stepped in, "I don't get it, we destroyed the plan, why are they still trying?" Said PJ.

Chris seemed angry as they made it over to help the three Turks. "Because they got us…we fell for it!" Said Chris.

Kerrie caught on, "Lisa told me that some guy hauled a barrel up to AC unit.!"

Justin called back to Carlos man get the bands and the fans outta here!" Said Justin.

Carlos replied, "Right man!" He said.

Justin and Kerrie sneaked back to where Rebecca and Shannon were and got them off the ground. Just then the air started up, people could be heard screaming in side the main stadium.

Justin let Kerrie and PJ head out he went back around the corner. The Tyrant was close so Justin figured he had a good way to finish this, he pulled out a siring that had the C-Virus in it. The cure to the Virus that was in the vents, he would be immune to the Virus so he could fight the monster.

He then injected it and waited a few seconds, he had to make a call. By now the crowd was getting out the door but there was one problem, someone had flipped the electric locks and there was no way to break a Plexiglas door down. They swarmed around, but the Tyrant became angry and began to lash out.

He swung with his claws hitting and cutting many individuals. Blood was everywhere. Justin fired at him but could not hit his mark. The crowd was too thick and he aborted after the first shot.

Carlos came on the ear piece, "Hey man…the bands are safe, and Sandi and Catie are handling the main crowd, I'm out!" Said Carlos.

Justin didn't have time to answer, he ran into the stadium. He could see the two laying on the ground, Catie yelled, "They were all infected man!" Justin ran to them getting the antidote into them as quick as possible.

Sandi looked at Justin as he injected her, he smiled, "Wait here, I'll help these people." Said Justin.

Sandi grabbed his shoulder, her eyes were deep with regret. "Justin…it's too late…we don't have that much of the cure, we should go…"

"No…we can still help!" Said Justin. "We can still stop Wesker!"

She looked at him, "He and Janis are gone, it's best we blow this because in ten minutes they'll all be zombies!" She said.

Justin looked down, "We can salvage the building…come back later and kill them off!"

Just then a long claw burst through the door. Justin lifted Sandi and Catie. They hightailed it down the stairs and in to the spot where the bands escaped.

As Catie looked back up he could see some zombies come through the door, "More like three minutes!" They made it to the door and out to the fire exit. The door was metal so Justin shot it. They all burst through it and into the street. Justin made the call.

"Beth, we need a pick up!" He said.

"Right away!" She said. "I am locked on and will be there in five…four…three…" he could hear the sound. "…Two…one." A ladder fell from the sky as the shinning metal Highwind sat over head. Sandi was the first up next was Catie.

They all made it uneventfully. As they climbed over Kerrie greeted them, she did not have a smile she was pretty depressed. She looked at them, "We know what must be done…" She said darkly. She rubbed her temples and concentrated at they watched from the deck.

Justin ran up to the cockpit, he could see that all the bands were there or in other parts of the ship. He yelled, "Take us higher!"

Beth nodded and rose the altitude. She had to be careful, if she went too high too fast the Highwind would stall.

Kerrie kept her concentration up, but she could not collapse the building. She still stood there, Justin spotted her, I'll give her the help she needs! Justin ran over to the stairs up the top deck where the missile launcher was.

He sat in the chair and as he did he thought, I gotta come up here and sit more often…this is nice! He targeted the building, "Alice…Target Alamo Dome for inward collapse." He said.

"Right away sir." Replied the computer. He voice high and cheery as she took orders and did her job as told. The red targeting light flashed on the panel before him.

"Alright then…" He looked at the display screen. "FIRE!" He yelled.

Five missiles came streaking out of the gun and rammed into the building at the exact angle that would be needed to collapse it inwardly. There was a huge explosion and the ship pulled up and flew away diagonally.

It was all over as far as trying to save those people…and it seemed they would once again explaining to the media what they were fighting…and this would be hard t dodge, but there were no witnesses to place them there. This concert was not televised…

* * * * * * * * * * * *

Wesker smiled as he held the tape of the STARS and Turks singing and interacting with the crowd, when the media got this…they would have a field day…

The Turks: Zombie Case

Chapter 12: Mixed Feelings

The Highwind

Over San Antonio, Texas

Saturday December 18th, 2004

10:00 PM EST

Kerrie awoke in a dark room. She was afraid, she had no idea where she was. In her mind she retraced her steps and then remembered. She looked up into the thick oily blackness of the dark room. "Alice, lights please." She said.

The lights came on and Kerrie was in Justin's lap as he slept next to John's bed. John was still confined to his room from the gun shot and Beth was in the bed next to him. Kerrie looked around, they were all sleep. And she was glad, Justin had made her cry…she was so sad that he was blaming himself for the deaths of all those people.

She felt terrible about all the events of late…all of Umbrella's doing. Kerrie had no idea how this would come out. It seemed that Wesker managed to trick them every step of the way. And now they had been fooled into letting Umbrella blow up a stadium full of people.

Justin stirred and Kerrie looked back and then stood. She smiled slightly as she stood there staring at him from her spot next to the bed.

Justin opened his eyes and looked around, he spotted her first thing, "Hey babe," he seemed less than excited about waking up. Kerrie on the other hand had to keep smiling for his sake.

She walked over to him, "How do you feel?" She asked her eyes showing the deep concern.

Justin looked around once more, "Terrible honey…I can't believe I read that journal and fell into Wesker's trap that easily." Justin said with ebbing anger in his face. Kerrie could not stand that way he was beating himself up.

Her face showed remorse as she sat back down on him. Justin wrapped his arm around her thin waist. She looked down at him, "I feel partly responsible…but you can't just blame yourself, it was Umbrella's fault!" Kerrie made a fist as she got close to the end of the sentence, she became red with fury. She really did hate Umbrella.

Justin held her tight, "It's not your fault," he said still squeezing her firmly. Kerrie started to cry, she was now blaming herself.

There was a light knock at the door to the room, Kerrie stood back up and walked over to the door. She leaned over to put her ear close to the door, "Hello," she said sucking up the tears in her beautiful brown eyes.

The voice on the other side of the door answered, "Hi Kate, it's me."

Kerrie opened door and there stood Desiree coming to check on her patients. She stepped through the door, "Hello!" She looked at the sleeping sick ones. "Hello to me too." Said Desiree upset that she didn't get much attention.

She stood in the door as Kerrie walked back over to Justin. John and Beth came awake looking up to see who had entered. Desiree's legs pushed her feet over the blue tiles of the room. Her gaze was that of concern and fatigue all at once. She swung her arms with the clip board in her right hand. She came to the bed side where she was between the two beds were on both sides of her.

She pulled out a blood pressure registering instrument. The Velcro strap locked onto John's arm, and she began to pump as she talked. Her voice was plain and unwavering. Her eyes did not stray from her work. "Justin, you left toast sweat on the counter…" She said.

"Well does it look like I care!" He shot back extreme anger came from his voice.

Kerrie looked at him with terrible concern in her eyes, she couldn't believe that he was so upset about this whole Umbrella thing. Kerrie took his hand and hauled him out of the chair, and he didn't struggle although she expected him to. She pulled him out of the room and out into the hall towards their room.

Desiree finished the job and walked off out of the room. She passed Kerrie and Justin in the hall and as the couple passed the main break room they could see all of the singers from the concert. But they didn't stop, there was more to be done than just stand and talk with the newly found friends. Kerrie had to fix this problem, she had to set things right. She needed it…Justin needed it.

They passed their own room and walked up to the door to the deck. She opened the door pulling him out behind her. She pulled him to the end of the deck and let go of his hand, she spun around to meet him face to face. Their gazes locked his of wonder and hers of concern.

Her sweet face poured with deep feeling as she asked, "Honey what's wrong?" Her voice with a ting of sadness.

Justin looked at her as she stood there questioning him. Justin seemed to ignore her at first as he walked around her to stand over by the rail of the deck he looked out over the edge of it out into the city. Deep blackness enveloped the buildings and many lights were all that sawed through to meet his eyes as he gazed down, it was peaceful.

He continued to stare as he addressed his fretful wife. "Kerrie, you know I really love you and that I'm not mad at you." He paused. "But I am mad, mad that no one came to stop Umbrella, mad that no one put up the red flag." He looked down at his feet in disgrace, then at Kerrie. "Honey, I want us to find the next Umbrella lab, you me and PJ head in. We take Chris Jill and Barry, the rest will monitor to outside!" He said.

Kerrie looked at him, "Well, we need to organize this thing, and this time we need to do research." Kerrie said her face filled with hate for Umbrella. "We will do this plan, that I assure you!" Said Kerrie finally.

Justin kissed Kerrie on the top of the head.
