CHAPTER 4

CLAIRE POV

We were all caught off guard by the sudden injection from the tall blond woman who Alice knows as Jill. We were all staring right at her ready for her to tell us everything she knew.

"It would be nice if you could untie me" Jill asked

"I don't think so" I snapped at her

"How lovely to meet you too" the blond woman said then turning to look Alice straight in the eye "Alice. You know me. I'm not going to hurt anyone."

"I used to know you. It's been a long time sins then Jill" Alice replied

"Well it's nice to see your still good at making friends" Jill spoke with a smile

"What happened to you Jill?"

"It's a long story, after Racoo.."

Before she could finish I slammed my rifle down on the table. "It's so nice you girls are having a catch up but I've got some questions of my own" I injected into the conversation they were having.

"You sure know how to pick em Alice" The blond woman spoke with a smirk on her face

I tried to launch myself straight at her throwing my fist to punch her square in the jaw until Alice stepped in front catching it in the palm of hers. I winced when I remembered Jill had done the same to K-mart resulting in crushing her hand. The thought quickly changed from pain to rage. "Alice. Move out of my way" I said through gritted teeth.

"Claire" her voice had changed to a comforting tone. "Please. Calm down" She then let go of my fist and placed her had on my shoulder "I'm making a promise to you, we will get K-mart back. But first.." she then turned to Jill "we need some answers"

Jill sent me a lets-forgive-and-forget look. No chance. "Fine" I said bluntly

"Good. Now Jill tell us what you happened" Alice spoke while taking her position on the control panel again

"We were sent here by someone at the main headquarters. There were only 3 instructions. Retrieve the target, make sure the target stays alive and take any means necessary. It was the Girl we came for, if you haven't guessed that already"

"What do they want with K-mart?" I shot at Jill

"K-mart?" she raised an eye brow "Cute name"

Before I could move towards her Chris already had placing his Beretta gently to her temple. "Answer the question" He said in a rough tone

"Brother like sister huh?" She said turning into the gun so it was now wresting on her forehead.

He didn't reply just continued to press the gun harder against her head. His knuckles were starting to turn white with how hard his grip was around the handle.

"Okay tough guy. Lower the gun and I will"

For a second I thought he was going to shoot her until he gave a sigh and put the gun back to his side, not taking his eyes off her.

"I don't know what they're doing to her, all I know is there trying to create something. Something that can't be stopped" She then looked towards me "I'm sorry but if you go after her you might not like what you will find"

I couldn't reply. I just stood there looking back at her, my eyes starting to tear up.

Then Alice spoke again "Well we plan on getting there before anything happens. You said main headquarters sent you?"

"Yes, it's the main operations base for Umbrella" Jill replied

"But I thought Wesker was…" Alice spoke again

"No, he was just a pawn. This thing is bigger than you think. A whole lot bigger"

"What do you mean a lot bigger?" Chris then joined into the conversation

"Wesker was just someone they appointed to be in charge of the board a few years back but when they discovered you had found Dr isks and the clones, he was sent to the japan facility. When he escaped the nuking of the city he went crazy and with the little power that he had took over the arcadia and went AWOL from umbrella, in search of you" she then paused taking a deep breath and glancing out of the window over the sea. "If you want to find your friend before she is.." Jill then looked towards me and stopped "we should really get moving, soon," she finished

"She's right" I agreed "we can take the boat back to the shore and fined a suitable vehicle to get us the rest of the way"

"I'll go tell the rest of the survivors what's happened" Chris said while leaving the room

"How about untying me now?" Jill asked

"I don't think so" I snapped back

"Claire, I don't think she is going to try anything" Alice tried to reason with me "she's trying to help"

As soon as the words had left her lips I just lost it "Help! She wasn't trying to help us earlier! When she crushed K-marts hand! Or tried to slit her thought!" The rage filled within me as I shouted at the two women only inches away. Tears were also starting to fill my eyes at the thought of what she had done to k-mart. "She didn't try to help when they dragged her away!" the tears now overflowing onto my face. "Or what about when I tried to go after her! This Bitch did anything but help!" I then moved forward reaching for my gun ready to end the woman tied to the chair. "She's done all but help us Alice"

I raised the rifle to Jill's head ready to kill her but before I could pull the trigger the blond woman's hand appeared from behind her grabbing the gun then with her other hand she took a hold of my shirt and threw me onto the chair she was just sat in, now pointing the gun at me.

"It wasn't me" she whispered. She was in the exact position I was just stood in.

Alice took a few steps forward trying to grab the gun away from Jill but she heard her movement and spoke again "It's still in me. The drug that is. Accelerated healing, speed, everything. I could kill her and you before you took another step Alice"

"Jill what are you doing!" Alice shouted taking another step forward

"I'm proving my point. She's right, I haven't been much help to you but it wasn't me, well it was me but I couldn't stop. Once he orders you to do something it can't be ignored and the worst part is I knew exactly what I was doing" she took another step towards me moving the rifle closer to my head "You think I wanted to hurt your friend!" her voice now changing from the calm tone to one filled with anger "you think I didn't try to stop!" she edged the gun closer to me forcing me father back in the seat. "You think that's who I am?"

I looked up at the blond woman towering over me holding the gun to my head. "Fuck you" I said through gritted teeth now bracing myself for what was to come.

To my surprise Jill's face had turned from anger to one more of a sad expression, she let out a sigh and lowered the gun. "I don't want to hurt you Claire." She then turned to Alice and handed her the gun "doesn't this prove I want to help you? I'm still the girl you met all those years ago"

Alice didn't reply, she just took the rifle and walked to stand in front of me offering a hand to help me back up. "Let's go get the boat ready"

We both walked past Jill to the boats deck, Alice not even acknowledging her. I Just shoved my good shoulder against hers knocking her to the side slightly. We left her standing in the control room. I don't think she was going to try anything not now anyway she had easily broken out of the restraints Chris had secured round her hands and feet and overpowered me. She could have easily killed me but didn't but whatever she wants it isn't to help us get k-mart back.

K-MART POV

The Pain was unbearable at first but I guess I have just got used to it now. It's been a few days since I was brought here by umbrella but I can't really be sure how long. They moved me from the lab that I first woke up in to a 'more comfortable' room as they called it. To me it looks like more of a prison. The room was just plain white, there wasn't even a window just a large black reflective screen covering one of the walls.

I took my usual position against the far wall farthest away from the door so when they came I could try my best to fight them off but I knew that would never happen. I've tried so many times before but I'm just not strong enough. I could hear the people behind the black screen, there were 4 of them the tall Dr and 3 other scientist. They were discussing what to inject me with next, drug a2 or drug b6. I wasn't sure what they had done to me but being able to hear everything and I mean everything was one of them, it took me a while to get used to before but now I just zone most things out, it's easier that way.

When they moved me to this room they took everything off me and I was back to the awful white uniform again, I had ripped both arms off the shirt so both sleeves were now uneven and frayed. The injection marks all up and down my arms left from where they had injected each drug into, each more painful than the last were now easy to see. I didn't know why they were doing this or why they were doing it to me, all I had to hold onto was that Claire would come.

I could hear footsteps coming down the hall towards the room I was imprisoned in, 5 soldiers and 2 others. The heavy boots that the men were wearing were easy to recognise. I stood in the corner of the room preparing myself for what was to come, trying to form some kind of plan to fight them off and escape but I knew it would be no use.

The door swung open and the soldiers filed into the room, the first one made a grab for me but I dodged under his arms and then tried to punch the other in the gut but the man caught my arm and pulled me into him placing restraints around my arms. Fighting was never my strong point, I never had to do it before, Claire was always there to protect me.

They dragged me along the hall a solider at each side of me gripping my arms so tight that I thought they were going to rip them off. One was behind and two in front all of them carrying rifles. We rounded the corner and entered the lab I first woke up in.

"Ahhhh, good morning" came a rough tone

The men took me over to the hospital cot and strapped me to it so I couldn't move my arms or legs.

"Your name is K-mart right?" the Dr asked me

I nodded back at him

"Cooperation!" He smiled "just what I like to see." He walked towards me and stood at the end of the cot. "I have a few things I want to go over with you, it won't take long I assure you"

I just stared back at him not knowing what to say.

"Let's get the next injection underway"

Another scientist walked next to him carrying a silver box with the umbrella logo on the side. The tall man then picked up a silver needle and walked round to my left side. He gave me a small smile before plunging the needle into my forearm.

The pain shot through my body like acid, this was by far the worst I have had. I tried to hold the pain in not wanting to look weak but I couldn't help it and before I knew it a loud scream had left my lips echoing through the large room. My back started to arch as my models started to spasm out of control, the restraints still holding my arms and feet down. The Dr looked most pleased with my reaction as his smile got larger and more sinister. The Pain then suddenly stopped and I dropped to the hard surface sucking in short deep breaths. It felt like I couldn't breathe.

"Not long at all, now long at all" The tall Dr mumbled to himself, taking a long look at me. "now let's try something ells"

I was still finding it hard to breathe from the pain I had just gone through when I noticed the tall man reach for something small and silver, my first thoughts were that he was going to inject something ells into me but I was quickly proven wrong when suddenly he plunged a knife through my upper arm. I screamed at the pain of the knife slicing through my skin into the muscle.

"hummm. Maybe not that fast." He spoke again followed by a long sigh.

He was still stood looking at me with a puzzled look on his face. The knife he had just stabbed me with still imbedded in my arm. After a moment of standing still he started to turn and walk from the room.

"Why…Why me" I choked out

He suddenly stopped in his tracks and turned back around to face me with a small grin on his slim face. "Now that is a good question" He walked back towards me standing where he was stood before "There are a few answers to your question, many of importance some not so important. You were the youngest, strong, healthy and female. In our research it has proven females are more capable of genetic restrictor than mails. But the most important is that your Alice's Friend" He paused with a large smile now creeping across his face. "We knew Project Alice would not be captured alive, she would rather die than be taken by us again as she knows far too much about umbrella and what were capable of. But the one thing Alice Is most attached to is her friends and will do anything to protect them. We predict she will arrive here soon accompanied by one of our former associates" he stopped taking and looked down at my still deformed hand "It seems you have met her"

"Jill" I whispered

"That's her" he answered back "what a pity. I really did like her. Okay men were done here" he then turned and walked out of the lab.

The soldiers then moved towards me, unstrapped my hands and feet from the cot and dragged me down the hall back to my cell. I couldn't walk or stand up, not that the soldiers cared as they continued to drag me along leaving my feet behind me trying to keep up. They threw me to the hard floor of my cell and locked the door behind me. I crawled over to my usual position and rested my back against the hard wall. I still had the small knife burred in my arm, I had forgotten it was there it was like the pain had totally gone. I griped it and carefully pulled it out, the pain then soon returned. I tried to bite my lip and ignore the pain but I let out a small squeal and threw the silver knife across the floor.

Thoughts were causing through my head at the thought of Alice coming here just to save me and with Jill. Did Alice know who she really was? Alice surely wouldn't risk coming here just to save me if she thought it would risk her getting captured. Then suddenly it hit me, Claire. If Alice did come she wouldn't let her go alone she obviously would risk her life to save me, that was the kind of person she was. Fear started to fill my body but not for me but for the woman I loved. If she was to come here what would they do to her? Tears started to well up in my eyes. If anything happened to her I wouldn't be able to forgive myself. I needed to escape and I needed to do it now.
