Note: In this Chapter, we hear about Cilia Redfield. Just so everyone knows, Cilia Redfield is a copyright of my good friend Marissa. Cilia Redfield is protected by the Raccoon City Beat Code, meaning if I see anyone use her in a fanfic without permission, I'll come over to your house, and beat you with a rubber hose. Also, that goes for Dominic Valsite. Terrance Phillips, and Skye…they aren't protected by it, but please ask before you use them!

Resident Evil: Conspiracy
Chapter 4

Claire walked out of Dominic's room feeling rather smug. She didn't exactly tell him off, but she just wanted to make it clear that she wanted to know everything. He was hiding something, she knew that. She thought for a second that bringing him along wasn't such a good idea, but disregarded that quickly. Either way, she would find out his motives soon.

*********************

Dominic looked at his watch. 7:15 pm. He figured he'd go sightseeing for a bit, and then come back. He sighed, and walked out of his room, now dressed in Khaki pants, and a shirt. He shut the door, and standing in the hallway was Claire. He looked around for Phillips or Skye, but…none of 'em.

Claire nodded. "You wanna tell me now?"

Dominic sighed. "I guess. Come on, follow me. We're gonna have dinner."

Claire gave him a questioning look, but followed him down the hall, and into the elevator. Dominic pushed the button to the 1st floor. "Where are we going?" Claire asked.

"To dinner."

"Yeah, but where?"

"It's a surprise. Gourmet restaurant."

Claire nodded.

They walked out of the elevator, into the lobby, and out the door. Dominic kept walking down the sidewalk, and turned the corner, while thinking to himself. He had all day to figure out what he was going to say, and he had the perfect lie. He looked sideways, and saw Claire smiling at him.

"What are you so happy about?" He asked.

"Nothing, except for that you're paying for my dinner." She replied coyly.

He stopped, turned, and walked into a Burger King. He waited until he was in line, and looked at Claire.

"This is gourmet?" She said laughing. "Burger King?"

"Hey. Don't diss the BK" He pointed a finger at her. "I eat this stuff everyday, it's gourmet for me."

Claire shook her head, trying not to laugh. They ordered, and sat down at an empty booth in the back. Claire unwrapped her Whopper, and said, "You talk. I'll eat.". She started eating.

Dominic shrugged. "I guess…Well, the real reason I came to Raccoon wasn't because I was looking for your brother. The reason that I went was because I felt guilty."

Claire swallowed the bite that she took. "Guilty? Why would you feel guilty?"

"Because I worked for Umbrella."

Claire had to choke down the bite of food she was eating, and brought her voice down to a whisper. "You WHAT?!"

"Calm down," Dominic exclaimed. "I WORKED there. I quit because I saw what they were doing to people. Living things, Claire! I had to leave, and try to help people, to make up for my mistake."

Claire blinked, and looked straight into his eyes, as if trying to see if he was lying or not. She sighed, and spoke. "We can't tell Terrance. He'll kill you. Literally."

Dominic nodded. "I'm sorry for lying to you Claire. I just thought that if I told you, then you'd kill me, or something."

Claire nodded, and then grabbed his hand, looking at his watch. 7:25 pm. "Hurry up," She said. "We have to go pick up Leon."

******************

Terrance looked at Skye carefully, sitting on a chair in his room. "So where did they go?" He said, snapping a cartridge in his pistol.

"Burger King," Skye said, "To eat dinner."

"Dinner my ass. He's probably filling her head with more lies…" Terrance replied coldly.

"I still don't know why I had to spy on them…I mean, even if Dominic IS with Umbrella, Claire can take care of herself." Skye informed.

"Dammit, are you going against me now too?!" Terrance yelled.

"No!" Skye said, standing up from the chair, "All I'm trying to say is that you're being an uptight asshole who holds onto the past!"

"You still think about Sylvia. Even when she's dead! THAT'S the past, my friend." Terrance said.

Skye ran up to Terrance, and punched him in the jaw. "Don't you ever mention Sylvia like that! EVER!" Skye walked out of the room, and back into his, tears now streaked across his face.

*******************

Claire and Dominic had finished eating, and caught a taxi to the hotel that Leon was staying in.

"So…tell me about Leon. He a boyfriend of yours?" Dominic asked.

Claire shook her head. "Nah. He's getting over the loss of his last one, if you could call her a girlfriend."

"That's terrible. What was her name?"

"I think it was Ada. Ada Wong." Claire replied.

Wait a second…she couldn't be talking about his Ada…His partner Ada. When she said she was going to an assignment…NO! Ada was Dominic's best friend, if you could call it that. In all of Umbrella, Dominic knew that he could trust Ada the most, out of anyone else. He'd been with Ada ever since he started at Umbrella, which was as soon as he got out of the Force.

"Dominic? Are you okay?" Claire asked. "You looked like you were gonna be sick…"

Dominic shook his head forcefully. "I'm fine. So…how did she die?"

"I don't know…" Claire sighed.

The cab stopped, and the cabby turned to us "That'll be 5 dollars and 25 cents."

Dominic reached in his pocket, pulled out the money, and handed it to him. They stepped out of the cab, and it drove off. Claire and Dominic stepped into the hotel, and walked to Room 154, and Claire knocked.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Leon heard a knocking on the door. He stood up from dinner to go answer it. He heard Sherry rush in from the other room. "Is Claire here yet?! Is Claire here yet?!"

Leon gave a slight chuckle, and said "I'll see if you let me get to the door."

Sherry nodded. "Okay."

Leon walked to the door, and opened it. Standing in front of the doorway was none other than Claire Redfield, and the man standing next to her had to be Dominic Valsite, who Claire had been telling him about on the phone. "Claire!" Leon said hugging her. "How are you?"

"I'm okay! Finally out of Raccoon." Claire replied, stepping inside along with Dominic, as he closed the door. As if a reflex, Sherry jumped up to hug Claire. "Hi Claire! I missed 'ya!"

Claire laughed, and set her down. "I missed you too!"

Sherry walked away from Claire, and starting looking at Dominic suspiciuosly "Claire? Is this your new boyfriend?"

That got a laugh from everybody, including Dominic. And Claire said that he was the silent type…

Dominic looked to Sherry, and shook his head. "Nope. I'm Dominic Valsite. Nice to meet you."

"I'm Sherry. Sherry Birkin." She said.

Dominic hesitated for awhile before he spoke again. "Oh." Dominic bent over, and whispered into Sherry's ear. Sherry giggled loudly, and ran off into the other room again.

"That Dreamcast is becoming a safety hazard, I swear. The McDonalds everyday isn't helping, either." Leon said with a smile.

"You got her a Dreamcast?" Claire asked. "Now she's gonna be hooked to that thing forever…"

Then, from the other room. "Mr. Valsite, commere! I wanna beat your butt in Soul Caliber!"

Dominic nodded. "I'm gonna have to show her how the master of Video Games fairs against a kid…" He chuckled, and walked into the other room.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Cilia Redfield woke up with the absolute headache from hell. She tried to get up, but there seemed to be restraints around her legs and wrist, keeping her down.

"Let me outta here!" She screamed. No one replied, and she yelled again for about 5 minutes, before giving up. The last thing she remembered was that she was out on a date with this really nice guy named Rick. Then, she suddenly got tired, and must've fallen asleep. Cilia cursed at herself for trusting ANYONE in New York…

"I see our little test subject is awake…" A woman's voice echoed. Cilia lifted her head up enough so that she could see the woman, dressed in a lab coat, with red showing from underneath it.

"Who are you?! Where am I?" Cilia demanded.

"All I can tell you is that you're someplace safe. My name…is Ada Wong.
