Chapter 3

'Deep breaths, come on Claire don't lose it!' With a deep calming breath Claire smiled and looked at Wesker. "The pleasure is all mine." Just as the captain of the S.T.A.R.S was about to walk out the door Claire thought 'Bastard!' "Sir may I ask you a question?"

Under Chris' breath he mumbled "Oh this outa be good."

"Of course." He replied

"How is Dr. Birkin? Or Alexia for that matter?"

"I'm sorry I don't know who those people are."

Glaring at his sister Chris saw that he had to stop before he was out of a job. "I'm sorry Wesker, Claire isn't feeling to good right now. You'll have to forgive her."

Shrugging off Chris' apology the Captain left.

"Do you want me to lose this job? I actually kinda like this one." Flicking his sister in the head.

"Eat shit and go bald Chris." Claire wacked his hand away.

With the two siblings arguing Leon leaned toward Jill and questioned their relationship, "Are they always like this?"

"OH Yeah. All the time. But they do love each other a lot. They only have each other after their parent's death a few years ago.

"Do you have something against Wesker?"

"Pft and you don't? You of all people should! He ruined all of our lives Chris!"

"Claire, what the fuck are you talking about?"

" Gah! Why can't you just tell me what the heck happened in the Arkley Mountains?"

"When were we in the Mountains?"

"In July… the bazaar murders….Bravo team went to investigate, but you lost contact so Alpha team was sent in and you guys were attacked by a bunch of dogs and you ran into a mansion and then it was just Jill, Wesker, and you…. OH COME ON! YOU CAN NOT TELL ME YOU DON'T REMEMBER THIS! THE MANSION! THE ZOMBIES! THE GAINT FUCKIN' SNAKE! THE TYRANT!"

"What's a Tyrant?"

"….Jill please, for the love of god, tell me you remember this."

"Sorry Claire, but I don't."

"You all must have hit your heads pretty hard on something if you don't remember something as horrific as that."

"No Claire I think YOU hit your head pretty hard."

"Chris I swear to fucking god I'm gunna beat you in the face with some barbed wire…"

"Well at least you still have your sense of humor. Anyway Claire where did you come up with this stuff?"

"I'm didn't come up with this it actually happened. Like I said Bravo team went to the mountains, they found a car that was carrying a convict. His name was Billy Coen. Becca, you saw a train and you went to investigate but the passengers all were zombies. Then a whole bunch of shit happened and you two survived. It was morning and Becca took Billy Coen's dog tags and apparently that proves that he's dead…"

"Claire none of that happened…" said the distraught paramedic.

With a groan of frustration Claire finally realized the tremendous pounding in her head 'When did I get a head ache?'

Noticing the way she was holding her head Leon asked while removing the blue party hat he was forced to wear at the party downstairs "Where were you before you came here?"

"I guess I was at Jay's. Apparently I fell asleep… DON'T EVEN KENNEDY! I am NOT stupid enough to drink and drive."

"I didn't say that. You make your own assumptions too quickly."

Not wanting the rookie to get knocked out on his first day on the job Jill whispered to Leon, "If you don't want to get decked by one or the other you should stop talking."

Hearing Jill trying to save Leon just wanted Claire to deck him more but decided against it. After all he had saved her numerous times, but how she wanted to hit him. "Chris you should let me stay at your apartment tonight besides apparently I don't have money since I can't find any in my pockets."

"Or you could have spent it all at the bar…" With that small statement he broke Claire's last nerve. Launching across the room beating Chris to the punch, literally, sent Kennedy stumbling backwards. 'I'm impressed for being such a small girl she does pack a good punch. I just might have funn with this girl'

Feeling slightly guilty for hitting her best friend Claire stormed out of the office down the stairs and throw the hall way mazes she once ran through trying to escape horrors now she was just escaping herself.
