"Hold still and move your arm Captain Marini!" Rebecca orders the Bravo Captain who does as he's told and moves his arm to reveal several splinters lodged under his flesh.
Rebecca pulls off her med-kit and rummages through it, pulling out a pair of tweezers, a gauze pad, and the anti-septic spray she used on Kenneth. Holding Enrico's arm firmly, Rebecca digs out the splinters before wiping the small wounds with the gauze pad. Barry, Richard, and Captain Wesker come rushing through where the door had once been, carrying a man. Laying him down next to Enrico, Rebecca quickly looks at the man's leg. Reaching for her med-kit again, she digs out about half of it's contents before starting on the leg.
"Barry, I'm gonna need some sort of wood for splints since I can't make a cast. Sorry this is going to hurt quite a bit." Rebecca says before she pulls in the man's leg to put the bone back into the flesh before twisting the leg to realign the bine so it could heal correctly.
"ARRRRRRGGGGGGGHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!" The survivor shouts in pain before sitting up to grasp his leg.
Rebecca quickly pushes him back so he's laying on the his back again before cleaning and dis-infecting the leg. Barry comes back with what looks like chair legs before handing them to Rebecca, who places one on each side of the leg before wrapping the hole where the bone had gone through.

30 rounds, that won't get me very fucking far. Especially if I have to start shooting out locks to get to the labs.Kevin thinks as he aims the barrel of his Beretta at the lock on the door and fires. Acting quickly, Kevin kicks the door. The door shudders in the frame and opens slightly, but the lock still holds it almost completely closed. Sighing, Kevin rams his shoulder into the door and it flies open. Aiming his Beretta down the hall, he is relieved to see it clear. Walking through the hall, Kevin aims around the first corner and sees it's empty. Continuing forward, he aims around the second corner and sees Jill and another living person.
"Jill! Glad to see you're still alive!" Kevin shouts to Jill.
"Kevin, what happened back there?" Jill asks as she rushes toward Kevin.
"There were two of those things, I barely got through a different set of doors. How are you doing on ammo?" Kevin asks.
"I've got one full clip and I used two from the loaded one." Jill explains.
"Same here. We need to get back to the others and see what that explosion was about." Kevin says.
"Right. Oh and this is Mike. He's one of the hikers that went missing a few days ago." Jill introduces Mike as he catches up to them and sticks his hand out to Kevin.
"Are there any others?" Kevin asks Mike as he shakes his hand.
"There are others, a man and a woman. Both have flare guns to defend themselves with." Mike answers.
"As you can tell, flare guns are practically useless unless you're fighting a giant plant. These things," Kevin signals the dead body, "don't feel any pain. So setting them on fire would be a waste of time"
"Well I just fought a giant plant. It gave me something to remember it by." Mike indicates the different wounds across his body from the vines that had struck him.
"Shit that looks pretty bad. Let's get you back to our medic. She'll patch you right up. Then Jill once we drop him off, we're coming back and checking out the rest of these rooms." Kevin says.
"Alright let's go" Jill says, feeling comfort at the thought of going back to the rest of the S.T.A.R.S.

"Fuck!" I hear Chris shout as a zombie grabs him from behind.
Ruching forward, I pull the undead creature off of him and hold it's throat as I put the muzzle of my sidearm against it's forehead and pull the trigger. Letting go of the limp body, I nod at Chris and we continue through a door with a shitty handle. Closing it behind me, I hear Chris's semi-silent footfalls a mere 3 meters ahead of me.
"Chris keep your guard up. Don't need to be bitten by these fuckers, something tells me it wouldn't end very well." I advise him and he fires two shots before looking back at me.
"Got it" He says rather quickly. "there's a door to the left, let's check it out."
"Roger." I say as I jog down the hall and into the landing at the base of the stairs.
Spotting the door Chris had indicated, I move over to one side for a two-man non-explosive breach. Nodding at Chris to indicate I'm ready, he returns the nod and I kick the door open and sweep the small room. Entering he room, I check behind the door and half shout to Chris.
"Clear!"
Chris walks in aiming his pistol at the floor and walks over to a small chest at the far end of the room.
"Scott, cover the door while I check this chest. The others might need some medical attention. Hopefully Rebecca is ok, otherwise we're screwed if anyone gets a major injury." He says as he starts to work on the lapse that holds it closed.
Nodding, I step back into the landing and hear shuffling footsteps from the hall above.
"Tangos on the 2nd floor!" I hiss back into the room so Chris could hear me.
"How many?" I hear.
"I dun-"
The sound of someone falling down the stairs grabs my attention and I see a zombie slowly stand up and walk toward the railing that is just above me. Stepping back I aim my pistol at it and fire. The round grazed it's neck and hit a picture hanging on the wall. The glass shatters and the frame jumps as the 9 millimeter impacts. The undead creature, which resembled a man, was still trying to get at me, the railing being the only thing stopping it.
Before I could take aim again, a shot re sounds throughout the hall. I snap my attention behind me and I see Chris aiming Edward's pistol at the landing the zombie was just on.
"You have to be quicker and have to hit with one shot." He says before walking past me.
"I would've hit it, but you need to start taking care o these things too." I say as I follow Chris up the stairs.
"Whatever you say Scott, whatever you say." Chris says as we step onto the second floor.
"Ok, Chris you check to our left and I'll check to our right." I say and Chris nods. I slowly walk toward the corner, feeling a sense of déjà vu as I near it. I step away from the wall and edge my way along the railing. Aiming my Samurai Edge ahead of me, I take a big step to the side and spot a zombie. It notices me and shambles toward me.
He had been standing there since he came back to life. He was hungry, but he didn't want to waste the effort on trying to get a meal if if could get away. Much like how he was attacked by the infected that was on the other side of the door leading away from the study. He heard screams, shouts, and gunfire. But he didn't move. It would be a waste of what little energy he had left. He had been standing in the exact same spot swaying back and forth slightly, hoping a meal would stumble into his view so he could eat.
BLAM BLAM Two more gunshots resounded through the hall. He took a step forward, anticipating the meal that would come. BLAM another shot. BLAM one more. He was getting restless and took another step forward, but he tripped over his lower intestine and landed face first into the dried puddle of his blood. Standing up again, he waited. He heard voices, but the dialect was far beyond what his mind could decipher. All he knew now was that he would have a meal.
He waited until he spotted his meal. Rushing forward as fast as he could, he raises his arms to grasp the man's shoulders so he could take a bite out of him. But the man raised a metallic item in his hands and he fell into nothingness. His soul cheering as it was set free from the confines of it's decaying cell it helped to create.

"Nice to see you two are still alive and you found another survivor. Good work." Wesker says as Jill, Kevin, and Mike enter the main hall.
"Nice to see you're alive too Captain. What was that explosion about?" Kevin asks as he makes his way to the stairs leading to the second floor.
"Oh we had a small zombie problem in the hall Barry, Richard, and I were investigating. Nothing a 40mm grenade couldn't handle." Wesker replies.
"A little over kill don't you think?" Mike asks as Jill helps him up the stairs.
"Let me guess another injury?" Rebecca asks sounding slightly annoyed.
"Just a few bumps and bruises," Mike says as he sits next to the other hiker, "How's it going Mark? Glad to see they found you."
"I've got a broken leg and I've been running almost non-stop for the last couple days, so I'm doing pretty shitty. Bright side is I gotta cute girl to take notice of me. Any word from Jamie?" Mark responds.
"No word from her yet. Which one treated you?" Mike asks.
"There's only two ladies here idiot. You sure all you have are a few bumps n bruises?" Mark replies.
Rebecca sighs and walks over to Mike while taking out a small flashlight from one of the pockets in her vest.
"Follow the light," She says while holding Mike's eyelid open and moving the light back and forth.
Putting the flashlight away, she sticks up her index and middle fingers, "How many fingers am I holding up?"
"Four and can you please keep your voice down?" Mike responds.
"He's got a mild concussion. Nothing serious. Do you know what hit him Jill?" Rebecca asks.
"No, walked into the room and there was a burning plant in the center of the room. That's it." Jill says.
"You're a pretty young, what are you doing here with the police?" Mike asks Rebecca.
"I'm 18 and I'm part of S.T.A.R.S." Rebecca responds.
"Well you're pretty non the less. When we get outta here you wanna get some coffee or something?" Mike asks.
"I do't think my boyfriend would appreciate that." Rebecca says then turns to Jill, "any word from Chris and Scott?"
"Nope and I don't think Scott would appreciate you calling him you're boyfriend. From what I understand, you drove him back to your place and had a one night stand." Jill says.
Rebecca ignored Jill's comment and walked over to Enrico. A series of gunshots grabbed everyones attention and Wesker, Barry, Richard, and Rebecca all ran into the hall that Wesker had fired the grenade into.

"Fuck!" Chris mutters as we enter a hall and see three zombies coming toward us.
We both aim and fire at them, dropping them with 5 bullets between the two of us. Stepping forward, Chris stops me and signals for me to listen.
UNGHHH
There were several more of them around the corner. Stepping back I aim at the corner and wait patiently. Chris does the same and soon five more zombies come shuffling around it. They all seemed to be burned slightly and a few had shrapnel damage to their torsos. They all fell as our 9mm bullets impacted the peeling skin and passed through the softened skull. Stepping forward again, I listen and hear running footsteps. Suddenly Chris passes me and runs around the corner. Sighing, I take off after him. Rounding the corner, I see the damaged caused by what looked like a small portion of explosives. What I didn't notice was the floor start to give way under me a everyone shouting at me to step back.
I plummet the ten meters to the tile floor of the room with the statue and land on my left side.
"FUCK!!" I shout in pain as I feel shards of broken tile pierce the thin fabric of my S.T.A.R.S. shirt and patch.
GGRRRRRRR
"Scott get the fuck outta there!!" I hear Richard's normally calm voice shout at me.
Quickly I get to my feet but get thrown back as one of the dogs from earlier jumps and collides with my body. Next thing I know, I'm holding the damned things jaws open and away from my neck.
"CAN I GET SOME FUCKING HELP DOWN HERE!!!!!!!!!!!" I shout up toward the hole I fell through.
Then I hear the sounds of nails tapping on the tile. "Mother fucker." I mutter.
But before the the dog gets to me, the door opens and five weapons fire at once. There's a yelp and I feel the cold slimy body collide with my face. Four more shots rang out and the dog on top of me yelps and goes still. Pushing the dog off of me, I get to my feet and feel someone jump on me. Feeling completely dumbfounded, I look at who it is.
"Rebecca can you please get offa me?"
"Not til you tell Jill we're dating." She says
"But we're not. You took advantage of a drunken person last night. You know that considered statutory rape." I tell her.
"I know but it was worth it." Rebecca says as she gets off and stares at me.
Feeling sightly creeped out, I walk back to the others. "Thanks for savin' my ass. I owe you guys."
"Don't mention it" All but Chris say.
"Stay away from my sister and we'll call it even." Chris says.
"What if she wants to be with me? What are you gonna do then?" I ask.
"If that happens, which I doubt it will, I'll more than likely forbid it." He replies coldly.
"Dude, she's nineteen. She can make her own fucking decisions." I half yell at him.
"Uh guys, can we save this for a different time? Like once we get outta here?" Barry asks, "and Scott's right, he's nineteen Chris. She can make her own decisions."
"Not you too Barry!" Chris says frustrated.
"ENOUGH!!! Chris, Scott; you two can finish this later! Right now we need to find a way out of here!" Wesker shouts.
I'm sure most of you have noticed that I have started to label where the S.T.A.R.S. are. It's to help with any confusion you may be experiencing. Also "Spencer Manor" is another name for the Arklay Research Facility, so is the Spencer Estate. I'm trying to be as technically correct as possible in this. I'm not even going to bother to ask for reviews anymore.
