Wesker led his five guests to his living room, which was big enough for large groups of people, and still have enough room for even more people. He sat down on his favorite black, silver chair, his guests had sat down on his black and silver couch that actually matched the colors of the rest of the house. From left to right, Leon sat next to Ada, who sat next to Cassie, who sat next to Claire, Sherry was now laying on the couch with her head in the redheaded girl's lap.
Claire looked around the house. To her, it seemed like something from a seventies or an eighties sci-fi movie. She chuckled softly to herself, she brought her attention back to the older man in the black trench coat, wearing black sunglasses.
"You wanted to talk to us about something? What is it?" She asked him curiously. Claire really needed to know what he wanted from them, she knew that her friends were probably thinking that exact same thing.
He fixed her with a rather intense look. He reached a gloved hand up to his face, he took off his sunglasses, which had revealed his blue eyes to the people present in his living room.
"Miss Redfield, the reason why you're here, the reason why I've asked all of you to meet here is as I have told you, I need your help with stopping the G-Virus from spreading past Raccoon City. You see, I used to work for Umbrella and I had helped them create the G-Virus. And the antivirus. I don't regret working with Umbrella, but I do regret helping them create the G-Virus. The world shouldn't suffer because of my mistakes." He said and they all stared back at him with looks of surprise, and shock written on all of their faces.
"And why should we even believe what you've told us so far? Even if you do regret causing this entire fucking mess, you still caused so many deaths in the process. Why shouldn't my friends and I just leave here right now and do this on our own?" Cassie yelled angrily at him as she crossed her arms over her chest. She knew the second that she met Wesker, she thought that there was something off about him and now she knew the reason why, he wasn't one of the good guys.
Wesker, unfazed by what the younger blonde woman said, he sighed deeply to himself as he stared at all five of them. He knew that they needed to trust him. It was indeed very true that if they left his house, they could easily make it out of the infected city alive. But they could also get killed too. They actually didn't need his protection, but they could definitely benefit from the experience and information that he had gained while he had worked with and for Umbrella.
"The five of you are very capable and could easily survive this horrible situation, but I have very valuable information and experience that you will need about Umbrella and how they created the G-Virus. And the antivirus, which could stop all of this. And I know exactly where it is." He said and he continued to look at them. A second later, he placed his sunglasses back on over his deep blue eyes.
As much Claire didn't like or even trust him for that matter, not even just a little, she had to reluctantly agree with the older blond man. They needed to grab both the G-Virus and the antivirus and get the hell out of the city as fast as they possibly could. And as much as she hated to admit, he was right about one thing: They needed the information that he had gathered while he worked for Umbrella and they really didn't have much of a choice but to team up with him, any more than he did with them.
"Fucking hell, you're right. I don't trust you and neither do any of my friends, but you do make a really good point though. And we're going to need all the help that we can get, even from an asshole like you. No offense." Claire replied and everyone else laughed at her comment, even Wesker himself had to chuckle at what she had just said to him. And eventually, those chuckles faded away from the atmosphere that had gathered around in the room.
"Fair enough, none taken, and I don't trust any of you either, no more than you don't trust me. But if any of us actually has a fucking chance of living past this horrible night, we have to work together to take them down once and for all. I want revenge. They fucked me over, so I want to do the same thing to them. And I know for a fact that you and your friends hate Umbrella just as much as I do." He said and they all nodded in reluctant agreement. Even Ada and Leon had to agree with him.
It was several seconds after that when a thought had suddenly entered Cassie's mind. It was something that she should have asked him earlier, but she hadn't even thought about it until that very moment.
"Why do you hate them so much? I understand that they have caused thousands of people in this city to die and become zombies, which is very fucking horrible, but this seems to be a very personal matter for you. What exactly did they did to piss you so much that you want to them to pay for their actions against you?" She said and her words had caught the older man by surprise.
"That is a very long story for another time. And I promise that I will tell all of you about it later, but right now we need to go. There's an Umbrella facility halfway across the city from here where we are. I have a lab there, but Umbrella has a secret underground laboratory that they had thought they could hide from me. They were very, very, wrong. But we before we actually go there, we have to do a few other things first. We are going to need to take plenty of weapons with us. There will be a lot of enemies there to stop us and we're going to kill them before they kill us." Wesker told them as he got up from his chair and walked out of the living room.
After the four of them shared a look with one another, they all got up and off of the couch, Claire placed Sherry's head onto a pillow that was on the couch, rather than on her lap. The four friends then left the room to follow their new ally to another room in his house, which was the same color as the living room, black, and silver.

The older blond man stopped at a wall two rooms and a hallway away from the living that they were all just in. He waited until the other four were standing just a few feet behind before he pressed a button, a small panel with numbers one through ten on it. He quickly put in a password, and a nearby wall slid open to reveal a cache of weapons that would put any swat team to shame. And then some. He looked over his shoulder to his new allies.
"We need to take as many weapons as we can with us, along with plenty of ammo. We're going to need it. Each of you needs to take two duffle bags with you. Once you fill them up, I'll gather some food in a few more duffle bags, and water. I have a private airport not too far from here. I have a helicopter that we can still use. We can't take Miss Birkin with us to CORE. There's someone waiting at my airport for us, they will watch her for us, make sure that she stays safe, while we get the G-Virus and the antivirus. We leave in thirty minutes." He said as he left them alone. It was several minutes later when he returned with duffle bags full of food and water, some extra duffle bags for all of there weapons.
Once they had selected all of their weapons that they wanted to use, they placed them in their duffle bags, they walked back into the living room to wake Sherry up. Claire walked over to her, she gently shook the young girl awake. Sherry sat up on the couch, she brought her hands up her face, rubbed her eyes and slightly yawned.
"Claire? What's going on?" She asked her, quite curious. She was pretty much out of the loop as to what the group's plan actually was. The redheaded girl gave the younger girl a soft smile. The young girl smiled back at her.
"We have a new plan. We have to go to a few places. We're going to an airport. Our new friend/ally, Mr. Wesker, has an airport and that's where we're going to right now. He has a friend that is waiting there for all of us, that will keep you safe while we do what we have to do." She told her, Sherry gave a sad look, Claire hugged her and the young girl hugged her back even tighter, because of how scared that she really was of losing her new friends. Especially Claire, Classie, and Leon. She liked Ada.

He drove his own car, the redheaded young woman and her friends drove their SUV right behind him. He parked his car near his airplane hanger where his helicopter was parked. He got out of his car, pulled his two duffle bags out of the back of it, and he walked over to his hanger. The redheaded girl parked their SUV near his car, she killed the engine, got out, the other's grabbed all of their duffle bags and the five of them walked into the hanger after him.
Sherry gasped loudly when she saw someone that she had thought that she would ever see again. She ran towards her, she was brought into a hug by Annette Birkin, her own mother. The two of them stayed like that for several long moments. She will never lose sight of how much her daughter really means to her. Never again.
"Oh, Sherry. I'm so, so very sorry. I love you so much. You mean the world to me." Annette sobbed out and she hugged her daughter even tighter to her. Her blonde daughter cried as well. Neither of them had let any tears fall from their eyes in a very long time. But now, they realized how close they came to losing each other.
"Mom, It's okay. I love you too." She told her and everyone smiled as the mom and daughter finally reunited after being apart for so long. The group said goodbye to the young girl and her mother, they followed Wesker to where his helicopter was and they got inside after he did. He started it, he once that was done, he flew them out of the hanger, and towards the CORE Umbrella facility.
