Chapter 4 The Hunt Begins.
Chris laughed along with all the other's, Jill suddenly spoke up.
"There's someone with her"
Chris quickly returned to gazing through his binoculars, several feet behind Erika was a fairly large man, from this distance Chris couldn't make out any defining features apart from a large tattoo covering the man's right arm.
"Mother love?"
Chris quickly pushed the man out of his head.
"Come on this is are chance, The others must have already infiltrated the castle"
And with that the three slipped into the darkness of the castle carefully listening to every gunshot and explosion they were sure were aimed at Erika.
"Hey Erika long time no see"
Billy looked practically the same as the last time Erika had seen him.
"That's true and this is just such a great place to reminisce"
As the last sarcastic word escaped Erika's lips a bullet blew past the side of her face.
Billy's expression changed instantly.
"You wanna try that again!"
Billy was firing his weapon whilst shouting at there attacker, they both saw the man collapse after a particularly good shot from Billy, removing the left side of the man's head.
Erika looked at him.
"Headshot huh?"
Billy laughed.
"Well after what happened, can you blame me for practising headshot's?"
Erika nodded, it did make perfect sense.
"Hey Billy how did you know that Rebecca was here or even that she was kidnapped?"
Billy didn't look surprised about the question.
"Friends in high place's, easiest way to explain it"
Erika just excepted the answer, honestly she was glad to have Billy back, and she knew Rebecca would to.
Wesker was fuming how, how had they ruined his perfect plan, it was that bitch, that Erika.
"I won't forget your name bitch"
Wesker had just finished another torture session with little Rebecca, even if they did get her out her chance of survival was growing slimmer, originally he had planned to prolong her suffering for day's, his plan was to make Ada feel guilty to the point of desperation.
When you dug deep enough Ada was just like that group lead by Chris, just another bleeding heart who wanted to save someone.
The door opened behind Wesker and the voice of one of his subordinates came through.
"Hey boss we've released the carriers like you said what are your orders now?"
Wesker looked irritated as he replied.
"Kill any intruder's on sight"
The door closed and Wesker was left in silence again.
"Chris, you'll pay for this"
Both teams lead By Chris and Carlos had just met up, even though the castle was big many of the doors were ether locked or had been blocked of by collapse's both old and new.
Chris looked at Carlos team, the three had blood splatters but didn't look like they'd been in to tough a situation, both teams had encountered several zombies that had been wondering the hall's.
"No luck huh…"
Both teams looked upset at the slow pace that the search was taking and every second longer it took was a second that hurt Rebecca.
"Come on let's stick together for the time being maybe Erika's already found them"
Ada was painfully aware that the place they were being held at was under attack, ordinarily that would be cause for celebration, she would have been happy had five minutes ago a segment of the ceiling hadn't fallen down nearly crushing them both, Ada was glad her speed hadn't suffered even after being trapped for so long.
The good thing was that Ada had managed to cut the ropes that had been binding both her and Rebecca, what was even better was the impact had broken the door open, but the fact remained that she would have to carry Rebecca and she didn't have a gun.
Ada Sighed.
"Caribbean… I could have been at the Caribbean but no"
Ada looked down at her once beautiful dress that had now been partially torn and shredded, Ada realised at once the last time Rebecca had been brought in that she was bleeding and wasted no time trying to bandage her wounds as best she could.
Ada closed her eye's and sighed trying to think of a plan when an unmistakable noise wondered through the door from somewhere out in the corridor, the unmistakable noise of a zombie.
"Shit looks like were moving Rebecca come on up you get"
Ada put Rebecca's arm over her shoulder and started to move as fast as possible to there escape.
Erika had blown through several more doors and even more solder's closely followed by Billy who was defiantly no slouch he was just as competent as Erika remembered and he'd even gained so knew moves.
"I guess an old dog can learn new tricks"
Billy looked around pretending the comment wounded him.
"You now I'm only 30 right?"
Erika looked around pretending to be surprised.
"Wow your gunna need a walking stick soon old man"
The two shared a laugh before rounding another corner and a bullet blew through Erika's gut blowing out a part of her back, Billy was quick at firing were the shooter had been but he'd already gotten away.
"Erika come on little wound like that won't kill you"
Billy had seen the impact and knew that must have been a specialised bullet probably hollow point or something similar, he knew something like that would defiantly hurt Erika a lot more than anything else, Erika looked up at him hiding the pain on her face.
"That'll recover soon"
Billy knew it wasn't that simple so he stopped.
"Come on give it five minutes then we'll carry on"
Erika was relieved that Billy had said it, then she sat down on the closest rock she could find and leaned against the wall.
"Thanks Billy"
The two teams were still together seeing as every hallway seemed to only lead in one direction, eventually they came to a crossroad.
"Carlos your team takes left we'll take right"
Leon had already started to make his way through when a particularly violent explosion caused a majority of the ceiling above him to collapse.
Not wasting a second Leon jumped, rolled and slide roughly ten feet away from where he had been, and now a boulder the size of a Mini was.
Chris looked at the location Leon had been only seconds before and now he was on the other side of the blockage alone.
"Leon you alright?"
Several seconds past in silence until.
"Yea I'm fine, I'm gunna carry on this way, nothing to loss right?"
Chris looked around at the other four who all looked like they'd been holding there breath.
"Alright Leon we'll meet up later, good luck"
Leon looked around and pattered himself down, he still had his custom Desert Eagle and his TMP, his shotgun must have fallen of when he had dodged the collapse.
"Yea good luck, see you later"
Leon took a few steps forward entering another corridor, looking around he saw two zombies, Hardly surprised Leon lifted his custom and fired two shots in quick succession.
The first shot blowing the closest zombies head clean of the second destroying the neck of the other zombie severing the connection to the host's brain.
Leon rounded another corner just as someone kicked him in the chest knocking him down.
