Chapter 3
Previously:
"Claire. Claire Redfield."
Now back to the story:
The next morning, people were up pretty bright and early. Claire was already down on the main floor cooking breakfast. Early on in her stay her, she found some dutch ovens and a lot of coal. She was making breakfast pizza. "Who's hungry," asked Claire?
Everyone replied, "Me." They took a seat at the table and dished up. Jared finished pretty quickly.
"I'll be at my post," he said to the entire table. He wen to the second floor and sat at the same place he was when the group went out for supplies yesterday.
"What's with him," asked Jill?
"He lost his wife and daughter about a week ago."
"How," asked Angie?
"His wife became a zombie and his daughter, we don't know where she is. We think she was taken by the zombies as well, but who knows."
"That's sad," said Angie.
"He hasn't been the same since," said K-Mart.
"So what did you and Angie talk about last night, Camo," asked Alice?
"Not much," replied Claire.
"It lasted pretty long for having not much to talk about," said Alice.
"Fine, I told her my name. Are you happy?"
"So what is it," asked Jill?
"Claire. Claire Redfield." Jill and Carlos' jaws dropped.
"Redfield," said Jill. "As in Chris Redfield?"
"He is my older brother. Did you know him?"
"Worked with him," said Jill. "So you're the Claire he has been talking about a lot."
"I hope it was good things," said Claire.
"They were," said Carlos. "They were."
"Do know what happened to him?"
"We haven't seen or heard from him since the incident in Raccoon City," said Jill. "There is a chance that he made it out. It wouldn't surprise me if he did."
"I hope he did."
Somewhere in the United States...
"What do we do now, Dr. Issacs," asked one of the Umbrella scientists? "About the Alice project, that is."
"We need a way to test her. Her fight with Nemesis was a good example but it was not good enough. We need something more. Something she has never heard of. Something strong and powerful." He looks around the table. "Well, don't just sit there, come up with something."
"We could send lickers, sir," suggested one of the scientists.
"That would be too easy. We need something has never faced."
"What about dogs?"
"She already dealt with those with easy, and that was before Project Alice, while she was in the Hive. We need to come up with something." He picks up the file with all the different projects that Umbrella was working on. "Any more suggestions?" There was no response. "That is all." He tossed the folder on the table. "I'll be in my office if any you come up with a brilliant idea. He turns to leave, but something catches his eye. A page is sticking out of the folder. He pulls it out. "Why didn't I think of this before."
"What," asked one of the scientist?
"How is project Tyrant doing?"
"No subject has survived the process. They've all become zombies after being exposed to the T-Virus."
"Then I will do it," said Issacs.
"Are you crazy," remarked one of the scientist?
"It is worth a try," he replied. "Let's go."
Back in Nevada...
"So what do you do for fun," asked LJ?
"Play cards," said Betty. "We don't place bets, but we have fun." Betty went and grabbed a deck of cards. They played a few games before fixing lunch.
"I'm going out for a bit," said Jared, after finishing his potatoes.
"What for?"
"I need some fresh air."
"You armed?"
"Yeah," he replied. Jared went outside. They continued to play cards for awhile. Angie finally stopped.
"I'm just going to walk around the place. I need to stretch my legs."
"Okay," said Alice. Angie gets up from the table and heads toward the back of the warehouse. As she walked, she started crying. She missed her father dearly, and she knew she would never see him again. After getting killed, and then blown up, it doesn't get much worse than that. She walked into a room and saw a cabinet.
"I wonder what is in here," she said to herself with curiosity? She opened up the doors and something lunged at her. It was a boy. Angie screamed as the boy kept her pinned to the floor. With in a matter of seconds, Alice, Jill, Carlos and Claire bursted into the room with guns drawn.
"Get off her," said Jill. The boy did, slightly frightened. He went to the corner and crouched down. Angie got up and ran behind the adults.
"What should we do with him," asked Claire?
"Do you know him," asked Carlos?
"Never seen him before," said K-Mart, who showed up with Betty.
"Well, we can't just leave him here," said Alice. "He looks like he hasn't eaten for weeks. Jill go grab some leftovers." Jill leaves and returns a few minutes later with a plate of potatoes. She hands it to Alice. "Are you hungry?" The boy walks over, cautiously, and looks at the plate. He grabs it and returns to the corner and eats the potatoes with his hands.
"What do we do?"
"Let's keep him under close eye for right now," replied Claire. "We don't know if he is infected or what."
"I agree," said Jill.
"Me, too," said Carlos.
"So we're going to treat him like an animal and keep him locked up," said Angie?
"Not exactly," said Alice. "This is more of a precaution. If he turns out to be okay, we'll let him out. Is that okay?"
"Its fine."
"Do you have a name, boy," asked Claire? The boy looks up from his potatoes for a few seconds before he continues eating. Once everyone is out, Carlos locks the door.
"We can watch him from the side room," said Alice. There were windows on one of the sides of the room that looked into the adjacent room. As they returned to the table, they heard gun shots coming from outside. They all ran up to the viewing place. They didn't see Jared. All they could see were a couple of undead dogs.
"Jared," said Claire.
"Were you two close," asked Jill?
"You could say that. Until these zombies showed up, we were co-workers."
"Just out of curiousity," said Carlos. "How did you end up way out here in the middle of nowhere?"
"That is a good question," said Jill.
"I live not to far from here," said Betty. "I ran here because of the added securities."
"You're saying, the sheets of metal covering the windows were here when you got here," said Alice?
"Yes. As far back as I can remember, this warehouse has had sheets of metal covering the windows."
"It is almost like they were preparing for something," said Jill. "The question is what?"
"What about the rest of you," asked Carlos?
"We're just like you," said Jill. "We were part of a caravan. Our vehicle broke down and no one would pick us up. K-Mart was found while our caravan stopped to restock supplies."
"Well," said Alice. "We aren't leaving this building anytime soon."
"Why not," asked Betty? Alice pointed outside. There were numerous zombies, undead dogs, and to Jill's distaste, a licker.
"That is not good," said Alice, after seeing the licker.
"What isn't," asked Claire?
"That creature with the long tonuge, the licker. If that thing is here, that can only mean one of three things."
"And what are those three things," asked K-Mart?
"Either one of them managed to survive the Racoon City incident."
"But we didn't see anymore besides the ones in the church," said Jill.
"That doesn't change the fact that more might have been released when they reopened the hive," said Alice.
"What is the other thing," asked Betty?
"There is an Umbrella lab near by. Either situation is not good."
A/N. Please R&R. Hope you are enjoying. So we know what Umbrella's plans are. It also gave way for a possible final battle. In my full summary, I said there was a character that will not and never will be in the film. It is the boy. In a few chapters, I will be doing a Author's Notes about various things about the story. Also included will be spoilers about the movie, more in particular who is in it and who isn't. If I know the reason, I will put it in there. I will not always give you a preview for the upcoming chapter.
