The elevator dinged open, flooding it with bright white light that had come from the nearby proper fluorescent light bulbs, that were placed on the walls in their fixtures, spaced several inches apart. The five of them had then stepped out of it, they were greeted instantly by the smell of disinfectant and death. They all covered their noses up with the backs of their hands, while they were trying not to throw up. The group was now in a brightly lit hallway with white walls. Everything was painted white with red trim on the sides.

Wesker looked left, then right, before he walked straight ahead. His four friends followed right behind him. He knew exactly where he was going. He should have, since he had designed the blueprints for his own lab in the first place. Not too mention, he had actually built the underground lab himself nearly four years earlier. They all kept walking for quite a while longer.

Ada took in her surroundings with observant eyes as she always did. She was a spy and a mercenary, that was exactly what she was trained for, to spy on her targets, kill them, take any information that they had on them that she was paid to steal and leave no trace that she was ever there, to begin with.

That was how this mission was supposed to turn out, but she ended meeting Leon. And shortly after that, they were contacted by the crooked police Chief Brian Irons. They had killed Irons, rescued Sherry Birkin and about an hour later after that, they had taken shelter in the gun shop, they had run into Cassie and Claire in the now dead Robert Kendo's gun shop. Ada was surprised but happy that there were other people still alive in the zombified city other than herself and the two people that she was with. Which also included Albert Wesker, who they had met not too long after they had killed the Tyrant, they were finally escaped the police station. She hadn't trust any of her current companions at first, but she certainly did trust them now.

They all stopped walking ten minutes later when they had made it to the middle of the underground lab. None of them could believe that a place like this was actually real, but considering how rich that Umbrella was, it didn't take a genius to figure it all out. There was a table and some chairs nearby, Leon walked over to it, he sat down in one chair followed by Ada, Cassie, and Claire. Wesker took a seat not too far from his friends.

The five of them looked around the lab. It had been a long time since Wesker was able to go to his underground lab without Umbrella trying to stick their ugly crooked nose into his business. The last time that he was there, was two, nearly three months earlier. He looked at his friends and he smiled a little. He had never thought that he would ever have real friends, considering the evil things that he had done in his past. But he's on his way to redeeming himself and to help the world become a better place for everyone that lived there. They all sat there for some time to calm down and get their thoughts together.

Cassie and Claire sat right next to each other. Every few minutes, Cassie would look over to Claire, she blushed as she looked away every single time when Claire would catch her staring. Claire had giggled each time. Cassie came out as a lesbian to her entire family, including her extended family, when she was still in high school, but she was too shy to ask the girl that she liked out on a date at that time. But she did eventually. They broke up two years later. She's had sex with a few other women, which had included some really hot make out sessons. Sometime during the night that she'd been with Claire, she had developed a crush on her. But she didn't even know if Claire liked other women, she would have to take her chances and just ask her out. She just didn't want to ruin their new friendship, so she'll wait a little later to talk to her.

Ada looked away from Leon for a second, she then looked over to the two younger women. She smirked to herself. She knew that they were starting to like each other, but it wasn't her place to interfere with anyone else's relationship. She knew that they would make a really cute couple and that they would good for each other. She took her eyes off of them, she looked back over to Leon again.

Leon looked over to the blonde and the redhead. He saw them flirting with each other a few hours ago. He's definitely rooting for them. They would be good for each other. A few seconds later, he looked back over to Ada.

The five of them just talked to each other for several more minutes before Wesker cleared his throat, which got the attention of his four new friends. He stood up from his chair, they did the exact same thing.

"We should split up to cover more ground. I'll go by myself to my office. Ada and Leon will go west, Cassie and Claire will go east. There might be some enemies down here even though I have traps set up to prevent that from actually happening. But this is Umbrella that we're talking about here, so I wouldn't too surprised. We should meet back here in three hours. We have our walkie talkies that should be in our duffle bags. If anything should happen, and I do mean anything at all, please contact either each other or me, and I'll come and find you. Let's go." He said. They all nodded in acceptance of the older blond man's new plan. The blond rookie cop and the Asian spy went west, while the blonde special forces sergeant and the redhead college student had gone east.

The two young women walked for quite a while, through several long winding hallways and they had finally ended up in a large room that had four doors with numbers one, two, three, and four written in large red letters at the very top of each door in that order. The two of them looked at one another, they shared a weary look with one another before they had walked even closer to the doors that were at the far end of the large room that had to be well over three hundred feet.

"Cassie, which door do you think that we should open? I just don't want something to come out from one of these doors to try and eat us or something else that's just as horrible." The redhead asked. The blonde nodded in complete understanding. They looked the doors over one more time.

"I honestly have no fucking clue, Claire. But I do think that for the moment that we should go with door number two. Nobody hardly ever chooses door number two in movies and tv shows." Cassie replied. She really didn't know which door they should choose to open, but she decided to go with her gut and go with door number two.

"I actually have to agree with you there. Okay, yeah. Let's go with the second door. I don't know what's behind it, neither do you, but we have to open one of these damn doors to get past here and into the next room. Did Wesker say what else that we should be looking for in this place?" Claire asked. Cassie shrugged her shoulders in a nonchalant manner.

"Nope, he didn't say anything else. I guess we'll find out when we find whatever is that we're supposed to be looking for, you know, other than the vials of the G-Virus and the Antivirus that he had told us about earlier." The blonde woman replied. She was just as confused as the younger redheaded woman was about everything that was going on at that moment in time.

Cassie reached a hand out towards the doorknob, grasped it, and turned it. She pulled the open completely, revealing a room shrouded in darkness. The lights were not turned on, she let go of the doorknob and she looked over to Claire. They both shrugged and walked into the room. A few seconds later, the two young women had brought out their flashlights while they tried to find a light switch.

Cassie shined her flashlight around the room, the light going over quite a few objects that neither of them could figure out what they were exactly at that point. She finally aimed her flashlight on the left side of the room, where a light switch was. She walked over very carefully, she reached her left hand out, she flipped the light switch up, turning the lights on in the room.

The blonde and the redhead turned their flashlights off and put them back away. Cassie and Claire's eyes widened when they had finally seen what was in the room. The room was large, so large in fact that there were several bookshelves, that there was more than enough room for even more bookshelves.

"Holy fuck. There has to be at least three thousand books in here, if not even more than that. We should go through a few of these books. There might be something that we can use against Umbrella. I go right, you go left?" Claire asked. Cassie nodded and they walked over to their sides of the room to comb over the books to look for something that might help them beat Umbrella once and for all.

The two young women exited the room after finding absolutely nothing in the books that had lined the walls of the room with the door that had the number two written on it. They shared a look with one another as they stood in front of the four numbered doors again. Neither of them had known what they should have done next. Cassie walked over to the door with the number four written on it. Claire followed right behind her.

"Let's try this door now. Let's hope that there's something in here that might be able to help us." She said. Claire nodded. Cassie opened the door and they were both quite shocked by what they had seen in the room after they had quickly found and flipped on the light switch. The room was lined with machines of test subjects in large tubes filled with some kind of blue fluid and suspended in the tubes with what had looked like some kind of wires that made the two women want to vomit. "Oh. My. God. What in the actual fuck is going on here? We have to tell Wesker about this right now." Cassie said. She pulled out her walkie talkie and she tuned it so that she could talk to Wesker.

"Hey, Wesker. We need to talk, right now." She said. And a second later, the older blonde man's voice could be heard from her walkie talkie, albite with some static. She wished that they had better walkie talkies, but at least what they did have, actually worked.

"Miss Cage, what is it? Have you found something?" He asked. He was quite curious as to why the younger blonde woman was upset. She had most likely than not found one of Umbrella's inhumane and really horrible experiments that they used to hurt people.

"Yep, we did. Claire and I found four doors numbered one through four. We opened door number two first, which was just a huge ass fucking library. Even after going through most of the books, none of them has anything that will help us at all. Then we opened the fourth door, and what we just found in there is something that nobody should have to see, but since you used to work for Umbrella and you know more about them than the rest of us do, I thought that you might want to take a look. It's not very pretty in there, it's actually really fucking horrible." Cassie said. Claire placed a hand on her shoulder for comfort. The blonde slightly turned her head to smile at her. The redhead returned her smile.

Wesker couldn't believe what the young blonde woman had just told him. He had no idea that Umbrella still had access to his lab. He clenched his fists so hard that they were turning white. He had to see that room. He had to destroy it and all trace of Umbrella tonight. He unclenched his fists and they returned back to their natural skin color. He pressed the button on his walkie talkie to talk to Cassie.

"Okay. You two stay there. I'm almost finished here in my office. I'll be there in forty minutes. If you want to continue to explore that part of the lab, leave a note taped to the door so that I'll know what to look for." He said. He released the button on the walkie talkie. He waited for a reply from her. He didn't have to wait for very long.

"That sounds good to me. I have some notebook paper in my backpack and some tape too. Give me a few minutes." She replied. Cassie took her backpack off, sat it down onto the floor. She unzipped and quickly went through, it didn't take her too long to find some notebook paper, a pen, and a roll of tape. And a few minutes later, she had a note written and taped to the now closed door that had the number four written on it. She slipped her things back into her backpack, she put it back on.

"Hey, Wesker, the note is taped to the door now. I just wanted you to know that. Claire and I are going to go explore some more of this place. We'll radio you if anything else happens. Be careful." She said.

"Good. I'll do the same. You two should be careful as well." He replied. Wesker then went back to going through the files that he had kept in his office for any clues that might help them.

The two young women continued to explore their side of the underground lab. And that was until they had found what appeared to be a much smaller lab. They shared a worried look before Claire stepped forward and she opened the door to the lab. Cassie and the redhead walked into the lab. The blonde woman saw a nearby light switch and she flipped it on, letting the bright white from the light bulbs envelop the room.

They walked further into the room to look for anything that might help them. They found a file cabinet. Cassie and Claire ran over to it and they started going through it. And a little while later, they finally found a file folder that might be able to help. Cassie grinned widely as she brought it out of the file cabinet once she had seen the words on the very top of the folder. She opened her backpack, placed the folder into it and she closed her backpack back up.

"Claire, I think that this could help us. Come on, we better going. We have to get this Wesker. He needs to see this right now." She said. Claire nodded in agreement. They started to leave the small lab when they heard a gun being cocked right behind them.

"Put your hands up in the air, slowly turn around to face me." A male voice yelled at them. They looked at each other for a second, then they both pulled their guns out as they turned around as fast as they could. Cassie and Claire fired their guns at the man that was in Umbrella's U.B.C.S.'s uniform. Their bullets hit him in several places as he let out grunts and groans of pain, blood spilled out of his wounds, coating the floor in his blood as he fell to the ground now very much dead.

Cassie and Claire ran as fast as they humanly could away from both the lab and the now dead bad guy, just in case that he had any friends nearby that could pose a problem to the two young women. They stopped right in front of a room with no label on it, so they had no idea what had awaited them once they open it. They rested near the door for a while to get their breathing back under control.

"I think that if we want to make it out of here alive, we'll have to hide out in here. At least just for a few hours." Cassie said. Claire looked really worried, so Cassie took the younger woman's hands in her own, they both slightly blushed. "Claire, do you trust me?" She asked. The redhead answered her with a nod and smile. Cassie let go of her hands, she placed her own hands on Claire's waist and she pulled the young redheaded woman flush against her. She placed one hand on the back of her neck, leaving her other hand on her waist. She pulled Claire into a kiss, flicking her tongue across her bottom lip, causing the redhead to moan and part her lips. Cassie slipped into the other girl's mouth. They soon melted into their first kiss with one another for several long minutes of pure love and bliss.

Cassie eventually pulled out of their kiss and they were both completely breathless. They stared deeply into one another's eyes. It was a few seconds later when they had pulled away from each other.

"I've been wanting to do that all damn night, Claire. I was just nervous. I haven't dated anyone in the past two years, so I'm a little bit out of touch with the lesbian dating scene." She said. The younger redheaded woman giggled, the blonde couldn't help but giggle a little bit too. Cassie loved Claire's cute little giggle.

"It's okay. I've been wanting to kiss you too. All fucking night long. You're right though. If we are to survive the night, we need to go into this room right now. We do need to talk about the kiss, what this is, that's going between us. It's amazing and beautiful. That was the best damn kiss that I've ever had in my life." Claire replied. She was so happy to be with Claire. She hadn't felt that way for someone else in so long, but she was glad for it.

"That was one hell of a kiss. I really loved it too. Come on, we better get into this room." Cassie said. They nodded to each other, the blonde woman then the redheaded woman walked over to the door, she pulled open and they both stepped into the room that the door had led them into. Claire found a light switch, she flipped it on, flooding the room with light. The blonde and the redhead gasped at what they saw, they couldn't be happier at what they found in the room in that very moment in time.
