4th chapter coming up and a lot of things will make sense now. Yeah, I know that the story may be a little confusing but, I'll explain a lot of things now.
Thanks for reading so far.
Jill thanked Carlos, again. She took time to think in what happened until now, and helped by Carlos she understood it. Umbrella is again after them, kidnapping the ones that ran away from 'her'(Umbrella). Carlos were attached too, but somehow he managed to take down the kidnappers and tracked down the communicators 'till he found the facility. Then he went to Jill's house, but found nobody there. So he prepared himself and, using the ID from a kidnapper, he infiltrated the facility. Kept searching until he find Jill. It didn't took too long, it was like the facility was built just to keep her and maybe two or three more people.
The strange machine was what he called "illusion generator". He found no data about it, but it was clear that the machine were responsible for Jill's nightmare.
- So you had the feeling of something going under your skin? – Carlos asked
- Yeah, it was just like that. Every time that I thought about my past, or tried to think about reality, the feeling were the same.
- It might me because of the machine's control. It was trying to take over your mind, but I don't know why.
- We are talking about Umbrella, Carlos. Nobody knows a thing about Umbrella.
- I bet that not even Umbrella knows everything about itself.
Jill laughed
- Yeah, you won this bet.
- It's good to see you again, Jill – Carlos smiled – Glad I could make it in time.
- Yeah, I'm glad too. Thanks again, Carlos.
- Here, take this – he gave her a syringe
- What does it do?
- It should cut the effects from the sedative that they've given you.
- Thanks – She held it within her both hands.
O moment of silence followed. None of them said a thing, even that they were full of questions. It was Jill who broke the silence.
- Um… I'm still in this blanket. If they took me out of home, my clothes must be somewhere.
- Yeah, they are but… I think that they're not the best thing to wear in this situation. Ii came in alone, but if we plan to get out of here, we'll have to fight.
- I see… okay. What do you've got for me? – Jill asked
- There is the girls' changing room just at the end of the corridor through the left here, but there are a lot of cameras everywhere. Right now, they know that I'm here.
- So it should be some cameras inside this room, right?
- I don't think so. There aren't any cameras inside the rooms.
- Maybe they don't want anyone to see what they do in here. Okay. Could you go and get something for me, please?
- Does a man like me need a request to enter the girls' changing room? – He said, with that 'sexy Latino' funny accent
He left her smiling and went through the corridor. Five minutes and he was back.
- Look what I've found… - he handed over the clothes
-Blue! My favorite color, thanks. Now… Could you please turn around? I've got to…
- No problem, madam! – he turned. But, deep inside him, he was fighting to hold himself. He wished he could see her just for a second….
Jill's voice pulled him out from his reverie.
- So… who do you think that is behind of this…? – He began to turn - No! Don't turn now, just answer.
- Oops. Haha….. Well… I don't know. Isn't it your old friend, Albert?
- No… Wesker is dead. I wonder if…. – Jill suddenly realized that… If she were caught, they might have tried to do something against Chris too
- If what?
- Chris! What about Chris?! Is he okay?
- Ch… Who? Your old partner? I thinks he's okay… He's with the BSAA isn't he?
- Yeah, but… I don't know. What if they got him too?
- Well madam, he's not here. There is only you.
Once we get out I'll try and contact Chris
Carlos heard the noise of the suit's zipper.
- Okay, I'm ready
- You look… Great, madam!
- Thanks. Do you have any weapon?
- Yeah, I got this – he took out her Beretta in a thigh hostler.
- This should help. What about ammo?
- Take this – he handed over a Kevlar vest, with some clip holders. They were fully loaded
- Thanks. Let's go – she checked the Beretta, checked the clip, removed the safety lock and held it with both hands
- The path is simple. We are in the 3rd floor underground. We have to get to the elevator and then we get out of here. There are guards in the elevator, so we'll have to take them out. The entrance lobby is well guarded too, so we'll have to be careful.
- Yeah, a small army to face with a handgun – she joked about it
- Hey, weapons doesn't disappear once shoot somebody, you know?
- I know, just kidding
- Okay. Once we get out of this room we turn right, then we enter in the second hallway at right again. There is the elevator, and then, once we are in the lobby, we just head forward to the streets. It may be hard, because once they spot us they'll ask for help, but I think we can take them out.
- Yeah. Turn on the alarm, enter the elevator, kill a bunch of Umbrella Mercenaries and then get the hell out of here.
- Sounds simple when you talk like that.
- But it is. I wish we had a way to blow up this place.
- If you want to blow it, we'll have to go deeper. Up or down, you decide.
- I'm okay now. Let's blow up this whole place. Is there any way to get out of here that isn't the lobby?
- I've heard guards talking about some "capsules".
- Okay. Here's the plan. Go get us a couple of walkie talkies or something like that. I'll head down to the control room, which is in the…?
- U5 ,the 5th floor underground. Two floors below – he knocked the floor with the boot
- Okay. I'll head there. You see if you can find these 'Capsules' and I'll dig some info from there too.
- Roger.
They left the room and started walking through the corridors. Once they got to the elevator, Jill called it.
- Strange. They haven't sounded the alarm yet. I mean, I left that room, right? They saw it.
- Yeah… Maybe… -on this time, the elevator came
The doors opened, revealing an empty elevator.
- Carlos…. This is too strange. Where is the Security Office?
- According to the map, it's right over us, in the U3.
- Go check there first. I'll go to the control Room.
They both entered the elevator. Chose their directions. Carlos got out on U3. "Be Careful" he said. Jill nodded and prepared herself. The elevator started to descend once again.
There was only a corridor, right to the Control Room. Jill knew that they had the control of the cameras from there too, but sent Carlos to the Security Room so he could only find a detailed map of the facility. A thing that she could easily do from the control room too, but she needed Carlos out of there. The truth is… If there were no way, the self-destruct system was surely in the control room, and she didn't want him there. If something goes wrong, I don't want him trying to save me. I want him as close as he can be from the exit.
So she gave him a useless mission, just to keep him away from the danger.
Once that Jill stepped out of the elevator, the door closed, and a warning sounded.
" Identity Confirmed: Jill Valentine. Brain functions confirmed: Lucid! Warning! Security breach in U5! Security Breach in the Control Room Corridor! Warning! Security Breach….."
And kept saying things like that. A sound alarm started, some flashing lights and the worse: tho machine guns appeared from the corridor's ceiling
- Damn it! – she aimed her Beretta at the closest machine gun. It has a sensor. If I shoot it, maybe the gun will go crazy or turn off.
* BANG BANG BANG BANG BANG BANG BANG BANG BANG BANG *
The machine guns started shooting. Jill started to jump and to roll, trying to aim at it. If it stills shooting like this, it'll overheat.
And she was right. But, right after the first one overheat, the second one started firing. I got it now. But that one is more far away. I can-
It hit her. Hit her in the middle of the chest. And that hurt. That hurt A LOT.
- Thanks, Kevlar! How did you hold a machine gun bullet?!
Something came out from the hole. Jill realized with horror that it was not a bullet. The floor were crawling with little things. Robots! They are little robots! At the size of a bullet! They- The robots started to do their work. It felt like a hornet's sting, and she started to feel dizzy.
Damn, more sedative! Whait, the serum!
Jill tossed out some of them, and stomped some more. Got the serum from the pocket and injected it.
It were almost like a adrenaline shot. The effect was immediate, and she appreciated the moment of relief just before the machine guns start to shoot again. She calmly and clearly shot their sensors, and just like expected, the machine guns went out. The voice started again:
"Warning. First measure of containment failed. Switching to lethal protocol."
Water dispersers came out from the ceiling. But the smell was wrong. It smelled like…
Shit. Alcohol. Now I'm REALLY doomed.
A big lighter showed up too. It's about to light the spark…. If it does, I'll die. Burnt. What a horrible way to die.
Jill tried to run back to the elevator. Called it but no response came. The alcohol stopped flowing from the dispersers. She was soaked in it. Jill laid down on the floor. And just accepted her death. The lighter did the spark. And suddenly, the corridor, the robots, Jill and everything ignited.
Chris…
She thought, while Kevlar, suit, skin and hair started to burn.
See ya in the next chapter!
