Many images from that night came in my mind ... All these things that none of us could have been prepared to fight. Umbrella was involved in the creation of a virus and their experiences went wrong, giving rise to unbelivable monsters ... But they were real. And Umbrella was responsible of the death of our comrades. Only Jill, Barry, myself and a Bravo member called Rebecca had survived the carnage. But there were more... Wesker had betrayed us. I already had doubts about him, but I would never imagined that he would use STARS for his own purpose. He used us as he used Umbrella since he was officially working for them. This guy was a crackpot, and he paid the price by releasing a creature that had turned against him, wounding him seriously. If he was not dead after that, the explosion of the mansion would probably leave him no chance of escape. This is what I expected.

We were in the helicopter while I kept going over his terrible memories. During the night, Brad tried to join us for our rescue, though he had fled on arrival. I did not blame him. Not anymore. I was enjoying this quiet moment , watching the sunrise on the horizon, heralding the end of a long night trying to survive by any means.

I felt Jill's head fall lightly on my shoulder. She was asleep. I looked at her without thinking of anything. Her face helped me to hunt the horrors of the mansion for a while. Barry was sat in front of me and gave me a smile when I was holding Jill's hand. Yet he always seemed embarrassed. Wesker had pressured him by threatening his family if he did not obey his orders. He had to choose between his friends and his family, a choice that no one should have to do ... And finally Barry had turned against Wesker, and all he hoped was now returning home to ensure that his family was fine.

"There were no good or bad choices. You did what you could. And I'm sure your family is ok "

I tried to reassure him while he was checking his gun. A kind of tic when he wanted to think about something else. After a few seconds of silence, Barry replied:

"If something happened to them ... .i don't know ... I don't know what I would do Chris. But now this is about you, you should take care of her "

I watched Jill again, the first ray of sunshine of the day on her face, making her more beautiful than ever.

"The situation is delicate. All evidences involving Umbrella and Wesker were destroyed along with the mansion. Nobody will believe such a crazy story. And my priority is to knock them down, whatever the cost. If that happens, I could not stay with her. "

Barry was silent, he probably knew that I was right, and we were worried about the next part of these events.

Beside him , there were Rebecca, who had just woken up after a short nap. I smiled at her.

"Are you tired Rebecca? "

"Sorry Chris ... I am"

She sounded like a soldier formal apology to her superior. After what we had just lived, I hoped that she would see me as a friend, a big brother. I tried to reassure her:

"You did a really good job. This case was just too weird. This case was... "

I stopped. I could not find words to describe that mansion. Then I remembered Rebecca's scream, facing a kind of monster that scientific's documents called it "Hunter". I was glad I was there in good time to save her, but from today she would have to live with the death of her team in her memories forever. ...

"Chris, are you okay? Chris? Do you hear me ? "

"Sorry, I was thinking ... Maybe I should introduce you to my sister someday. I'm sure she will like you"

Rebecca smiled, visibly touched by my attention. But before that, I should make sure that Umbrella would pay for his crimes. I could not tell Claire about our story before being sure that no threat is hanging over us.

"We're landing, get ready "Brad exclaimed.

Finally, the helicopter hit the roof of the RPD, and Jill awoke with a blench. I took her by the shoulders.

"Calm down, it's the helicopter we've just landed"

She seemed chocked for a moment, but soon regained consciousness on reality when she saw my face.

"It is over Jill. We are alive and safe."

"Joseph ... Richard ... Chris ... I…. "

"You've had a bad dream, that's normal. Everything will be fine now I promise "

She immediately took me in her arms, I did not expect of that. But she needed to be reassured I could understand that.

We went out of the chopper, Brad first, followed closely by Barry who was eager to contact his family.

We were heading to the STARS office, Barry would phone home and we all wanted to know if his wife and his daughters were okay. I also was planning to make a quick point of what we should do. We met the first policemens of the day in the hallway. Some greeted us, but they all looked at us strangely. Maybe because we were in a bad shape, and they certainly already saw the smoke from the explosion of the mansion from the forest.

" And now what? " Rebecca asked me while we were in the office and Barry already making a phone call.

"After Barry I want you to call your parents to reassure them, and they have to come to get you. You need to rest. "

"But ... but I can not just go to bed when we must reveal the truth about what happened! What are you going to do you? If you stay, I stay! I am also a STARS you know! "

"Rebecca, you're tired, you told me that by yourself. We all are, but you're the youngest and last surviving member of your team. You need you to recover, take a few days. I take care of everything and I will keep you informed. Consider this as a request from a friend who cares about you. Please. "

Rebecca reluctantly resigned to follow my advice. Barry then came back to us, visibly relieved.

"They are…fine..they ... I do not know how, but they are safe ..." He sounded like he didn't believe his own word. A tear slid down his face. I put my hand on his shoulder.

"Then go and join them. Barry go find your family, I'll contact you when I'll have something new. "

For a moment I thought that Barry would collapse into tears in my arms. But he merely put his hand over my shoulder too.

"I do not deserve friends like you, Chris, Jill I am so sorry"

Jill took him in her arms.

"Relax, it's forgotten, Barry. go, now. "

After having a look at us one last time with many emotions, Barry went away.

Rebecca was on the phone now, and Jill turned to me.

"Chris, considering the circumstances we should cancel our dinner to the restaurant. I ... I can't just act as if nothing happened. Please forgive me ... "

"Hey Jill, you have nothing to be forgiven. I understand and all matters to me now is that my teammates and my partner overcome this terrible ordeal. "

Jill looked down, feeling guilty about something. I put my hand on her cheek, her hair between my fingers. She raised her eyes again towards me. I was about to tell her about my feelings, but I did not. It was not the good time. I just wanted to make her feel that I was there for her if she needed it.

"Thank you for everything you have done for me Chris. Since the forest when you shot this dog, until you had get this monster tyrant 's attention away from me ... and Rebecca. Chris..you ... "

"... And I would be willing to give my life to protect the people who are important to me. Do not thank me for that, because that's what I am. "

Rebecca interrupted us, and I quickly pulled my hand away from Jill's face.

"My father is coming for me. I did not tell him about this mission, I do not want to worry him more than he was. Anyway, he would not believe me. Thank you for everything Chris. I would return as soon as you ask me. "

"Thank you Rebecca, your skills saved my life more than once, you're young, but you're a real STARS. I mean it. "

Rebecca greeted Jill and I, then she left.

"Do you feel you are able to go home Jill? "

"Yes ... but I don't want to. Not yet. If I stay home alone I don't think I could sleep. And if I sleep, I could make other nightmares like on the helicopter. "

I was trying to convince her to return in spite of everything, but as if she already knew what I was about to say, she said in a rude voice:

"I'm staying with you and you have to say about that. There is no reason for you to be the only one of us to stay, not after what you did for all of us. Umbrella has to pay. "

I had no choice but to accept her help. Jill needed to vent her anger, and would not find peace until the Umbrella company would be taken down, I understood it in her gaze.

Brad who left some minutes to get a coffee, came back to the office.

"hey, uh, I saw Barry and Rebecca left the office so if you don't need my skills anymore I'll go too, the night was long, you know. "

Brad could not be useful to us at this time it was true. But before I had time to answer, Jill walked towards him, suddenly slammed him against the wall and pulled out her gun she pointed at his forehead. I rushed to her and snatched her gun from her hand in less than two seconds, while she continued to retain Brad on the wall.

"JILL ! What are you doing? ! "I cried. Her reaction was totally unexpected.

"YOU KNOW WHAT I THINK ABOUT YOUR SKILLS IN? YOU'RE NOT THE ONE WHO HAD TO SPEND A FUL NIGHT FACING OF SOME LIVING DEADS, DOGS'S MAN-EATERS AND OTHER CREATURES THAT YOU WILL NEVER IMAGINE ON YOUR PEACEFULL LIFE! " She yelled to Brad.

"Ok ok ... relaaaax ! It was awkward from me, I'm sorry ! Please! Chris help ! "

"Jill ... calm down. Brad has his flaws, but he's not the one responsible of all the mess from Umbrella's experimentations. I need you to recover your composure if you want to help me. Let him go please. "

Jill's arms were trembling because of anger, but she finally decided to release him.

" Get out of my way you coward! "

Brad then looked at me, and I nodded to making him understand that he could go. Without wasting a second, he left in a hurry.

Out of curiosity, I checked jill's gun. No ammo.

"Don't you trust your partner? "

"I'm sorry Jill, but I don'tknow ... .This night changed us forever, and I got scared when you pulled your weapon on one of our teammates, coward or not"

"That's why I want to help you to bring down Umbrella. Nothing would never be the same now "

I gave her back her weapon, and looked at her into her eyes.

"Okay. Time to see Irons "

Hey ! Sorry this time I had to write all my chapter again, because I got lost in the first one. If I had to post it, I would have to write all the re story and that wasn't my first purpose. Mainly because I planned to write Chris's pov in main parts from before re1 until after re6. So yes I could write the mansion parts, but too long and we all know the game :p So I choosed to focus on parts we don't know very much. Thanks to Shantty for helping me with ideas 3

Also thanks for all your review, sorry this time I won't answer you all, but I'm touched by your support ! I just hope you won't be too much disappointed by this chapter.

Special thanks to Mayra.713g , Shantty, Roseimagine, Mango Marbles and also abcacb1221
