Claire carries Dean to what looked like a former convenience store. It was haed to understand, with the sign being written in chinese. Dean dropped off her back to his feet while Claire busted the door open. Her shoulder throbbed from carrying him a long distance from the inn downtown. She'd had to save him from suffering death like his sister did. When she walked in, the licker had already done catastrophic damage to her and Dean was whimpering in the corner. They dashed into the pitch black store just in case any undead popped up. It was bitterly cold inside due to lack of power nowadays. A radio played in the background,it chimed an old opera tune that made the two feel slightly more on edge. Claires cloak bottom swaying as she walked hesitantly while scanning the perimeter. Claire reached into her cloak and grabbed a magnum from her utility belt. An elephant killer, as it was entitled. One heck of a powerful gun could shoot through an undead's head and finish it off with just the one blast. She took a few more steps ahead, Dean shaking behind her. The gun was aiming straight in front of the two as they approached some shelves with healthcare products. Suddenly, the sound of smashing glass echoed round the bare walls and Claire swung round in every possible direction. Where was it coming from? Dean coward even more behind the heroine as she tried to figure where the noise had originated from.
"Dean, hold this," Claire passed the boy a torch from her utility belt and switched it on. The boy flicked the switch and pointed it directly north,however, the ray of light wasn't fixed as his hands kept jolting due to panic and fear. The light revealed freezers that were broken at the back of the room, more shelves piled with all sorts of magazines. Claire held her free hand up to signal that she was going foward. The two took a few more steps foward to find a pool of blood on the tiled floor. Claire stoped dead in her tracks, Dean looking frightened and grabbed hold of her leg with an unocupied hand. Claire examined round for a body.
"Be careful," she told the boy as she turned a corner. Out of the dark, an undead toppled her over. Dean in a scene of panic, dropped the torch. Everything went black.
"I wonder what actually happened after Wesker was "killed" ?" Leon gave Ada a rhetorical question as he rested his elbow against the rim of the window. Ada's foot stabbed at the acceleration pedal as the mini zoomed down abandoned roads.
"How should I know? I haven't exactly had the time to sit and wonder," Ada gave him the cold reply as he shrugged. "Well, look on the bright side, we've probably pissed him off by killing his little prodijue," Ada smirked to herself. Leon's mind traced back to the factory incident. Him, being held captive by the respected BSAA agent known as Penelope Young. She'd double crossed him, tied him up and tortured him. The chinese girl. She sat in distraught, crying her eyes out as Penelope brutally killed her. Then, Penelope had gotten infected and the gunslinging duo of Leon and Ada eliminated her in quick fashion.
"I wonder what it was with those two," Leon wondered. Ada rolled her eyes.
"Who knows, who cares," Ada said. Silence dropped for several moments. Thinking about it, Leon realised that this was the longest him and Ada had been together ever.
"You nervous?" Leon broke the silence with a pathetic attempt of conversation. Well,that's what Ada thought. Ada glanced at him with a tired grin on her face.
"No, never, your the one that's always nervous," she struck back at him.
"I'm never nervous," Ada chuckled at his responce. Leon frowned at her.
"Really? Never?" She burst out in an evil laugh. A pair of ominous lights arose down the road. Ada squinted and released what it was. A massive fuel truck...driving towards them...ontheir side of the road. Ada gasped as she realised the reality of the situation.
"Fuck!" Leon shrieked as the truck grew near. Ada circled the steering wheel left sending the car in a spin to the left slowly. Just about skimming the side of the truck. The mini was sent flying off the road and down a dwarf hill to a few undead. Several moments later, Ada's face hurt like hell from smacking the steering wheel head on. Cuts had formed on her nose and her cheek while she developed a screaming headache. Leon had suffered roughly the same kind of damage.
"That was close," she said as she busted her door open. Leon struggled with his side more. He kicked it hard but it wouldn't budge. Ada noticed this and gave out a sigh. She watched the infected that were lazily walking to their wreckage. Ada carefully walked round to Leon's side and shot at the unopening door. Her attention then turned back to the moaning, groaning undead that were advancing.
"We really need to get moving," she ordered Leon as the man finaly got out of the broken down mini.
Jill wrapped up her orders to the BSAA agents and sat beside a confused Chris.
"She'll be fine Chris," Jill reassured the 39 year old veteran. His eyes were fixed on a device with Penelop's tracking device on it. Her emergency beacon had been set off by the factory.
"Has anyone heard from Leon?" he asked her, not even looking at her in the slightest. Jill gave out a deep breath.
"No, no we haven't," she said.
"I'm not losing her, not how I lost you," Chris dreaded the worse. Jill placed a hand on his arm.
"You didn't lose me, so you won't lose her," she smiled as he finally made eye contact. "It won't be long until we get there, just prepare, there's a lot of them out there,"
