Chapter 7
" Alright, everyone off" The pilot of the helicopter, Brad Vickers commanded. The members of Alpha began to get off one by one, beginning with Barry and ending with Wesker. " Just give a call on the radio when your ready to go, I'll be here" Brad said.
Wesker nodded and turned to the Alpha team. With a few hand signals the team disperse into the forest.

" Final gate, Gate 4 beginning activation sequence. Activating 'Project Trevor'"
The sound of turning gears filled the underground portion of the mansion. " Gate 4 opened."
The robotic voice of the intercom brought great discomfort to the once human being who inhabited gate 4. It let out screeches of pain and torment as it tried to break free of the chains bonding it to a nearby wall.
- - -
" Project Trevor has been activated" The voice caught the two boys off guard.
" Project Trevor?" Ricky said, he was sitting in front of the computer watching a blank screen.
" It's probably one of the experiments" Justin replied.
" Warning... Project Trevor has become Unstable"
- - -
The creature had broken free of the wall, although it's hands remained bonded together at the wrists. It let out a deranged yell as it walked through the lower mansion, hunched over, searching for life.

" You heard the intercom! Whatever we just released is unstable!" Justin shouted as he rummaged around the nearby desk for his pistol. Ricky watched him struggle, giving off a chuckle. " Your taking this pretty far. We've seen some pretty unstable shit, it's probably nothing" If only he could take those words back. Constant banging began on the door of the laboratory.
" What is that?"
Ricky didn't answer, instead he removed his knife from his side and began walking towards the door. The banging picked up pace. " I've got you covered" Justin said finding his pistol on the corner of the desk. He aimed ahead of Ricky. ' Fucking coward, hiding behind his gun' Ricky thought as he reached the door. He slowly began reaching for the handle, giving one final glance back at Justin who nodded. He pulled open the door. There was nothing. He stepped out of the room, looking left and right, still there was nothing. He turned back facing Justin. " False alarm?"
A screech of anger filled the room. " Maybe not" Ricky turned back around, only to be greeted by two rotting hands against his face. He was sent spiraling backwards into a rack of test tubes. " What the fuck is that thing?!" Justin shouted as he began to fire rounds of ammunition into the creature. It screeched once more and began running upright, hands in the air, towards Justin. He rolled to the side firing his pistol. His bullet had missed the creature and struck the only available light source in the room. They were in the creatures playing field now. All those years in the dark can work wonders. " Shit.. Justin, where are you?" Ricky asked as he hoisted himself off the ground. He dusted off tiny shards of glass, while raising his knife. He had left his pistol across the room. " Damn it Justin. Where are you?" He repeated taking a step forward. Heavy wheezing began to fill the room. " God damn it! Justin answer me!" The wheezing grew louder.
" Unauthorized personnel have entered the facility." The intercom stated. The display of the live camera feed showed on the computer screen, illuminating the room. ' Finally some light' Ricky thought diverting his attention from the screen.
The wheezing had stopped and the room appeared empty. Ricky brought his knife closer to his chest. " Great time to leave me alone" he said giving the room a quick inspection before getting his gun and leaving in search of Justin.
- - -
" What the fuck! Where are you taking me?" Justin shouted as the creature dragged him across the floor. It ignored him and continued dragging. " Shit, please don't kill me... Shit"Justin pleaded. The creature looked down giving a snarl. Finally Justin got a glimpse of the creature. It's physical features resembled that of a females. It had dirty, greased up hair down to the middle of it's spine. It's skin had long ago rotted, and it's clothing was reduced to rags.
" What the hell are you?"
- - -
Ricky had been roaming the dimly lit underground halls for over ten minutes. " Where the hell am I?" He asked himself. He continued to wander aimlessly about until a nearby room came into his vision. He entered it. The lights were completely off and nothing was visible but a file on a desk. " Unauthorized access, Please exit the office immediately. " The voice was familiar.
" Shit, Red Queen?"
" Correct, I am the Red Queen."
" The unstable one?"
" I'm sorry my records show no abnormalities within my system"
" Thank god."
" Now please exit the office immediately"
Ricky picked the file off the desk. " I've got authorization to be here"
" Umbrella records show no authorization to this facility"
Ricky read the title printed on the file aloud. " Project Trevor? What is that?"
There was a series of noises resembling multiple discs being read. " Project Trevor. The first test of the T-Virus. Subject Lisa Trevor had been injected with multiple variations of the T-Virus as well as the G-Virus. Due to her uncontrollable rage, she has been imprisoned within gate 4 and will remain there"
" And what happens if she gets loose?" Ricky asked
" Than chaos will overcome this facility."
- - -
" Get me down!" Justin shouted. He had been impaled through his shoulders and hung from a metallic gate. His blood stained the floor. " What do you want?" He whimpered. The creature paced around him. " Please.... let me go.."

Enrico coughed as Billy sat him down on a seated window. They had found a room within the mansion and made the decision to remain there, after it had been declared safe. Inside the room was a pair of windows, it was pretty much empty except for two fully shelved bookshelves.
" Lock the door" Enrico commanded, his voice low and hoarse. Billy Coen did as he was told.
" Now tell me how you got here" Enrico said to Billy. " Last I heard you were on a transport van headed to--"
" There's nothing left of that van"
" What the fuck did you do?!"
" I didn't do anything, one second everything was calm the next there's giant leeches attacking. I ran away to survive."
" Scum like you don't deserve to survive."
" They were false charges...i killed those people to survive just, this is the same scenario. Billy argued.
" Racist scum.." Enrico wheezed before falling into a fit of coughing.
" Don't tell me you haven't seen anything weird on your way here! Tell me what got you!" Billy began to yell.
" Nothing weird. No leeches... a few guard dog's and two kid's" Enrico tried to keep his sentences short. It hurt him to talk. " When I find those bastards I'll kill them"

" Where's Joseph?" Jill Valentine asked the remaining Alpha team. They had entered the main hall of the mansion in an attempt to flee what seemed like a wild pack of dog's. " He must still be out there" Barry Burton responded. Wesker stood in front of the mansion entrance. " Leave him.. he's dead by now. I do not wish to increase the death rate and endanger this mission."
" But"
" But nothing Jill, Weskers right. He's dead by now... you can't save everyone."
" But I can try" She responded to Barry walking towards the door. Wesker removed his pistol from his holster and aimed at Jill.
" Don't open that door. Or I will shoot you where you stand"
" Wesker! What are you doing?" Chris yelled.
" Keeping this mission together. From here on in no one leaves this mansion, understood?"
" Yes Sir" Barry was the only one to respond.

" So there's no way to stop this Lisa character?" Ricky was halfway through the file.
" Umbrella has attempted to execute her several times, each one failing."
Ricky sighed. " Couldn't you just cut her up or something?"
This received no response from the Red Queen.
" Can you help get the power back on, My partner seemed to have damaged one of the circuits during an encounter with something.."
" You do not have access to this sector."
Ricky clenched his knife. " Damn it! Back to this fucking bullshit." He slid his knife back into it's sheath and held out his gun, he turned and began to leave the room. He didn't wish to draw the Red Queens attention any longer.

Justin had been losing blood for almost a half hour. His sight was beginning to blur, all he could see was the silhouette of the creature before him. It came in closer to his face, stroking his hair with it's hand. ' Ricky had better come quick.' was all Justin could think.
