"I need one of you to hack into Kennedys phone and track him on our GPS," Levee stood but as he asked someone in the room to do it.
"Michael," a little girls voice called his name.
"Yes, Anita?" he turned to look at her.
"Instead of having someone track Leon S. Kennedy I can do it and I must inform you that one of the experiments with the T-virus has slaughtered eight scientist."
"Track Kennedy down," he nodded. "How is his decaying process? Anyway to stop if from happening as well as the hunger?"
"I still don't understand how a computer can do all the work that everyone in this building does," Ada sat down where Levee had sat.
"I'm not your average computer," the girl looked at her. "And actually all I have to do is watch other people die." the girl smiled evilly.
"Anita, please answer the question." Levee looked at the hologram of the girl.
"The decay has slowed down in one specimen but they others show no improvement," she looked at him. "As far as my data can show me there is no way to stop the decaying process and their hunger for living specimens."
"Keep trying Anita. We need to make sure we can sell this in every product without it being traced." Levee took Adas hand and they both walked out.
"This place looks deserted," Jill looked around as they walked through a corridor with a clear view into laboratories. "Why would anyone want to take over the world when they might die as well?"
"I don't know," Chris shook his head. "I don't think I want to know."
Jill nodded. "Let's just find Watson and get the hell out of here so the Marines can sterilize this place."
"Come on," Chris started to walk quickly down the corridor to get away from everything they had seen. All those photographs of those innocent victims. How could anyone do something to another person? How could anyone want to torture another persons life? Chris shook the thoughts out and kept walking, keeping his mind clear of everything but finding Watson.
"What is this?" Claire picked up a piece of paper from a table.
"Looks like their making sure they know what everyone is doing around here," Leon frowned as he picked up a blood drenched paper. "Or at least, they were."
Claire turned to look at him and made a face. "Looks like its only one person,"
Leon walked over to a computer, turned it on and began typing some words on it. After a while of typing the computer beeped. "Looks like everything on this computer has been scrubbed cleaned. Even the hard drive has been erased."
"Looks like we'll need to get to the bottom of it a different way," Claire frowned as she picked up a picture frame. "Some of these people were parents."
"Some of these people had families, lives, they had everything but they all threw it away so they could do this." Leon looked at her and walked back towards the door. "I know some of these people didn't deserve what they got." he walked out of the room.
Claire looked over to where Leon had stood. In a way he's right, I guess. But I honestly don't think anyone deserved to die. She sighed, placed the picture down and left the room after him.
Unbeknown to Claire as she left the room, a dark figure quickly reflected off the picture frame she had just put down. The figure quietly landed on the floor, stood up and walked towards the picture frame. The figure snatched it up in less then a blink of an eye, sniffed it and had Claires sent. The figure let out a soft growl and jumped back on the ceiling.
"What the hell?" Chris looked into a tank full of light red water.
Jill walked over to him and placed her hand on the tank. "Could that be blood?"
"I hope not," Chris shook his head. "But..." he paused and looked around. "I know the T-virus makes people turn into zombies but why haven't we encountered one?" he looked at his girlfriend.
Jill looked at him. "I don't know," she hesitated every word, trying to figure out a reason why. "Maybe they're all underground? Remember the Spencer Estate had tunnels and we found things there."
Chris nodded in agreement and looked back at the tank. "Let's hope they're all underground,"
"From what I've seen so far Levee is better but worse at the same time then any of the other companies." she took her hand off the cold glass. "All I'm saying is that --"
Three bodies popped up in front of them and both Jill and Chris took a leap back. Jill let out a gasp as Chris eyed the bodies. It was two males and one female. They were wearing lab coats which he quickly put together that what they were staring at weren't tanks but laboratories that had been filled with water.
"Where the hell did they come from?" Jill walked towards the tank to see if she could see anything that may give her a hint where the bodies came out from.
"These aren't tanks Jill," Chris grabbed her hand and they continued to walk down the corridor.
"What are they then?" Jill eyed each one they passed.
"They're laboratories," Chris turned a corner and continued down it. "Someone or something flooded the rooms and killed everyone on this floor by drowning them."
"That's not possible," Jill shook her head. "The amount of water one will need to do that..." she trailed off getting images in her head of the scientist dying, gasping for air and trying to get out of the rooms but failing miserably at it.
"From the map we've already covered two entire floors," Chris looked at GPS. "All we'll to do next is go through the library and we'll be in the resting area shortly after." he glanced at Jill. "We've seen worse and you know it. Just shake it off and come on."
Jill looked at Chris, nodded slowly and followed close behind him. "I'm on your six," she said as they entered a corridor that would supposedly lead them to the library but ended up being completely flooded. "I think there's another way around." she looked at her GPS.
Levee and Ada headed towards his office, he bend down about three inches, looked at an eye scanner which scanned his eye and left him and Ada pass. Once through the threshold of the door Ada saw the beautiful ocean view that she loved to see every time she came to his office. She walked over to the sofa that was placed in front of the glass and sat down.
"Anita?" Levee called as he placed his feet up on his desk. "Where is Kennedy?"
"It appears that Leon and a female companion are walking towards the experimental room," her hologram appeared. "Would you like me to set them free?"
"Let out fifty percent," he eyed the map she had appeared for him. "From this hologram projection it appears that Kennedys friends are walking towards the Maze." he eyed the two red heat signatures walking around.
"Yes, there is a male and a female." Anita walked towards him. "If you'd like I could release the hounds?"
"Release twenty of them," Ada looked over at Levee and Anita. "And for the last thirty release the birds."
"Just the crows?" asked Anita looking at Ada.
"Release the crows, hawks, eagles and vultures for now." Ada smiled cooly. "I want to see what they look like in action."
Levee smiled. "Do as she says and when they're out and those idiots walk into the Maze please show us exactly what they're doing."
"Yes, sir." Anita nodded and disappeared.
"I think it'll almost be time to let them out," Levee looked at Ada. "I'm sure they're starving to get a taste of fresh meat."
"Let me do the honors?" Ada walked over to him and sat down on his lap. "I would love to reck havoc on them."
"Hell hath no fury like a woman's scorn," Levee accessed his laptop, and flipped it towards Ada. "Just type in XYD56."
Ada typed what he said and hit the enter button. There was a soft beeping sound and a screen popped up saying all the doors to every single building where Leon and his friends were had opened. "Let's see how they get out of this one."
"I want to see you get out of something," Levee smiled.
Ada turned her head towards him, smiled, kissed him and sat herself down on his desk. "What are you waiting for?" she grabbed his tie and pulled him in.
Leon pushed Claire out of the way as the floor underneath them began to shake violently. They got on their feet and saw that the floor was opening up. Then before Leon could tell Claire anything they heard the soft yet gruesome moans of the dead.
"Behind you!" Claire yelled at Leon as a crowd of zombies rushed toward him but they were quiet.
Leon turned around and fired at the first fifteen zombies, hitting each one on the head. As he reloaded he heard Claire firing away at her pack of zombies. Leon turned, ran and jumped the gap, landing next to Claire. "Let's go! There's to many of them. We can't waste our ammo on them."
Claire nodded and ran with Leon, they jumped another gap and headed towards a door in front of them. Claire picked up speed, when something grabbed her ankle. She fell face first on the floor.
"Claire!" Leon ran back towards her but was immediately surrounded by zombies.
"You're not my type!" Claire kicked at the zombie holding onto her leg. "So get lost!" his skull cracked loudly under her boot.
As she got to her feet, she fired at fifteen zombies in front of Leon. Leon had his gun out and cleared a path for himself and her. She jumped over another gap, kicked a zombie in the head and was along side with Leon. They ran towards the door, dodging zombies, jumping gaps in the floor and avoiding zombies that could only crawl across the floor. Leon was head of Claire and because of this in a running jump he kicked opened the door. He held it open for Claire and once she was through the threshold he slammed it shut.
"Great workout, huh?" Claire tried to catch her breath.
Leon chuckled breathlessly and smiled. "Amazing workout more like it," he pulled out his GPS. "We need to take a left here and then we'll be in the resting area." he frowned. "Let's hope they found him or found something that leads to him."
"Let's hope they haven't been attacked like we have," Claire sighed and walked down the hall.
"I hate mazes," Chris made a face as he tried to figure out where to go next.
"I love mazes," Jill smiled at him. "But I think you hate it because it doesn't show up on the GPS nor are there maps around here that tell you where to go." she looked up at the sky and began scanning the area.
"What are you looking for?" Chris looked around the sky for whatever she was looking for.
"Shhh!" she placed her hand on his mouth.
There was a barely audible sound coming towards them from the sky, then a few seconds later the sound grew louder and louder and louder. The sound sounded like waves colliding on rocks at a beach but that thought quickly left both of them when they saw a black cloud coming towards them.
"Run!" Chris took the left path.
Jill took the right path, both of them separated and were looking for cover.
Fuck! There's nowhere to hide! The last thing I want is to be pecked to death! Chris turned right then an immediate left and continued to run. He touched his earpiece. "Jill, how you holding up?"
"Um... Let's just say there's more then just birds here."
Chris had run into a dead end when a flock of birds came down towards him. As he turned he quickly realized they weren't crows, they were hawks. He threw himself on the floor at the last minute as a hawk dug its claws into his back. He quickly got to his feet, ran out of the dead end and turned left going the way he should've gone.
Jill fired at the dog, coming towards her, in the face. She saw a staircase and ran towards it. As she got closer something tackled her to the ground and she lost her weapon. "Crap!" she quickly turned around to face whoever or whatever it was that tackled her. "Get off!" she punched the brown and black german shepherd on the side of the face. The snapping dog didn't stop trying to rip her throat out.
Chris saw a staircase, ran towards it and ran up the stairs taking the steps two or three at a time. Once he was at the landing of the stairs he was able to see the way out of the maze. How the hell we got outside of that place is beyond me. He heard loud growling and saw Jill struggling with a german shepherd on top of her. He took out his rifle and as he was about to look into the lens he saw another dog running towards Jill. He aimed at where he expected the dog to run in and fired. The bullet went through the back of the head and out to the front. He took aim of the second dog and fire.
Jill shoved the dog off of her, found her gun and smiled at Chris. She ran towards the staircase again, ran up the stairs and fired at a couple of birds. "Where do we go?" she looked at him.
"This way!" Chris ran towards the other side of the landing where another set of stairs lead towards the exit. "Right!" he called out to he as the turn came up.
Jill followed Chris' lead, staying close by him, making sure that she never lost sight of him. Chris dodged another right and Jill followed, then a left and for a god twenty feet the just ran, avoiding dogs, crows, hawks, vultures and eagles.
"Door!" Jill pointed to it.
Chris hadn't seen it until after she mentioned it to him. He picked up speed, slammed his shoulder into the door which opened and he fell through the threshold.
"Cover!" Jill ran faster, saw Chris pull out his gun as he stayed on the ground and as she jumped over him he fired his gun at whatever was behind her.
Chris swung his legs over and he closed the door with them. Jill walked over to him and helped him to his feet. "Thanks," he smiled and looked at Jills GPS. "Looks like we go through this door and we're in the resting area."
Jill nodded, placed it in her back pocket and began walking down the corridor.
"Michael," Anita stood in front of him. "Kennedy and his friends are still alive."
"Where are they now?" Levee made a face.
"En route to the resting area," Anita pushed her hologram hair out of her face. "May I remind you that we can us him now?"
"No, we can't." Levee looked at her. "From what I've seen he's not at top notch." he turned back towards the corpse he was doing an autopsy on. "I don't want to take the chance of them killing him before we see what he can really do. Besides with the virus in him I want to see just how strong he can really be." he examined the heart in his hands. "Get Ada into the weapons room and have her arm herself with whatever she feels is fit for her. After that escort her towards the resting area."
"Sending her to assassinate Leon and his friends? Do you think that is a wise choice? She does have a history with him and if I might say so she probably won't kill him." Anita eyed him.
Levee perked his ear up. "Percentage that she won't kill him?"
"Ninety-nine point one,"
"Then that point one percent is certain that she will," Levee threw the heart in a shoot and there was an immediate slurping sound. "She'll kill him. Go and get her."
"Yes, sir." Anitas hologram disappeared.
Claire pushed the door open and walked in with Leon. As they walked in another door from the other side of the resting area opened. They both trained their guns towards, knowing it was Chris and Jill but at the same time knowing that with the different companies buying off the T-virus the zombies found out how to open doors.
"Chris," Claire smiled and lowered her gun when she saw her brother emerge from the door with his gun raised as well.
"Claire, Leon." smiled Jill. "It's great to see you both."
"Likewise," Leon nodded. "So I'm guessing you two didn't fine a trace to Watson."
Chris shook his head. "Neither did you,"
Claire looked at the ground. "All we've found were zombies,"
"Looks like we all ran into trouble," Jill sighed.
"What did you two run into?" asked Leon, eyeing the room. It kind of resembles WilPharmas garden room but seems more peaceful then any place I've ever seen. So I do I get the feeling that something bad is going to happen?
"We ran into animals infected with the T-virus," Jill made a face. "Who knows what else Levee could throw at us."
You have no idea what Levee Pharmaceuticals will throw at you, thought Ada as she found a perfect place to take out Leon and his friends. A life that was never right for me is now the best thing I have. She smiled to herself as she thought of Levee and herself. Unlike you, Leon, I at least have an active relationship life. She trained her sniper on Leons forehead and smiled. Goodbye.
