Sorry for the late update! School has not been kind to me haha. I want to give a big thanks to all of my reviewers who have followed this story as it means a lot to me :)

"Any news of Project Alice?" Dr. Isaacs questioned his subordinates. He was desperate for any news of finding his experiment. Especially when that project could mean the source of ridding the world of zombies. As well as his source of power for taking over the Corporation and maybe even the world if he was lucky. Dr. Isaacs was tired of taking orders from the higher ups that ran the company. Especially the asshole Wesker and asswipe Caine. Well at least Caine was dead already.

"It's hard to work with the limited amount of satellites and power. Not to mention we know she had been avoiding the signals for awhile," Todd answered back.

"Gah! Well it'll only be a matter of time before she manages to slip and the satellite ends up triangulating her coordinates and whereabouts. Continue on with the search," Isaacs commanded.

"Sir I might have found a possible location because the tracking device that was implanted into Alice has flickered at least once in this area," Scott explained while pointing out a location on the map on his computer.

"Floresville? That isn't too far from here." Isaacs muttered. "Dispatch Umbrella workers tomorrow to the area to scout. We need her back."

Unfortunately for Alice, sleep got the best of Carlos so she forced him inside to rest up for the majority of the night. Which pretty much left her alone to keep watch through the eerie and silent night. Alice didn't mind though because it gave her some alone time to think of the past events.

Alice let out a heavy sigh into the cold night air. She gently touched the back of her head, as if to look for some cut or bump. Anything unusual or that hadn't been there before she had been captured by Umbrella and made into Project Alice. She could feel a tingling in her head. As is signals were being sent somehow through her brain.

"Why me?" Alice whispered into the darkness as she leaned back to survey the mass amount of stars. She just knew that Dr. Isaacs was still searching for her and following her movements the best he could.

I can't stay here any longer. I have to leave the group….And as much as I don't want to, I have to leave him. I have to leave Carlos. It's the only way to keep him safe. And out of anything I ever wanted, it's to have him alive rather than dead. I've lost too many as is and there is no way the rest of the group is dying because of me. They are after me and me only.

Alice made a crucial and painful decision. She had to leave and go on her own. It was just best if she weren't around people. Alice decided the best time for her to leave unnoticed was before dawn. The night was still young and she had time to prepare.

Alice looked down at her leg. "Hurts like hell." She winced in pain after applying pressure with her hand to test out the injury. "I'm gunna end up limping for a little while longer I guess."

What the others didn't know was that the T-virus minimized the pain. She could tolerate more than a normal human could take. While an actually punch would hurt like hell for most, if someone punched Alice, it would probably just tickle a bit. Maybe sting a little if they were good.

Alice went inside as quietly as possible. (If dragging your leg and gripping the wall didn't count.) She grabbed the keys of the S.T.A.R.S vehicle off the counter seeing Chris was dumb enough to leave them unattended, and headed for the door before coming to an abrupt stop.

I can't just leave without leaving something for them. Alice made her way to the desks and even though it was just as dark inside the building as it was outside, she opened the cabinets and searched for two things. Pen and paper. That of which seemed to still be abundant considering the items weren't a priority on a survival list. It wasn't to hard to find either because once more, she had an advantage that no human would have. Better vision for long distance as well as for night. I need to get out of here. Think I can hear someone moving around in the back room.

Angela tossed and turned in her squeaky cot bed before giving a soft sigh and getting up in a seated position. She had a dream, or nightmare to be more exact. Most of her dreaming turned into nightmares. Many having to do with Umbrella and zombies or just plain scary stuff. Her father once told her that dreams were the work of an overactive brain that had memories or problems at the front of the mind. Which would eventually turn up in a dream in one way or another. She hoped that was just it.

Jill turned around to face Angie. Jill was a light sleeper and had heard the little girl toss and turn and talk in her sleep for a good amount of the night.

"What's wrong?" Jill whispered to Angie. She got up to sit by the girl's side. Jill wasn't sure is Angie could use a hug or not.

Angie looked behind her to see if any of the others woke up, but the soft sounds of snoring and breathing made her realize they weren't getting up.

Jill followed Angie's gaze to the others in their beds. And as if she could read Angie's mind she spoke softly. "Don't worry. They aren't going to wake up. Men. Such heavy sleepers sometimes." Jill rolled her eyes.

Angie fought back a laugh before frowning again. "I'm really fine Jill. I just had a nightmare that's all."

"Do you want to talk about it?"

Angela just shook her head. "No, I think I will just go back to sleep now."

"Alright but I am right her if you need anything." Jill gently squeezed Angie's arm as a form of showing her that she was there to talk to. Jill walked back to her cot and laid back down. Angie followed suit.

It took Alice a good part of the night to finish two measly letters. One was for the entire group and one was for Carlos. She knew he would be the first one up out of the group, and the first one to go and try and cover the shift for her.

Alice neatly folded both and put them on the counter of the Police Station before lifting herself up from the wooden chair and hastily exiting the building. It took all her might not to cry. Hell, it took all she had not to want to go back inside and just stay. Alice wanted so badly to run into her man's arms. She wanted Carlos to be the one to comfort her but there was just no way.

Alice half-limped and half-walked to the parked car across from the station. All the while gritting her teeth from the pain of her leg. Alice left all the food and items to the group excluding whatever Chris had left in his vehicle. That of which was leftover weaponry he didn't take with him.

"Goodbye," Alice shakily said into the cold night air as she started the engine. Nothing was stopping her. It were better if she weren't around people.

"Alice! ALICE!"

The sound of Carlos yelling woke everyone up.

"What the hell are you doing? Do you really want zombies heading this way?" Jill angrily stated as she walked out from the back.

"Alice left." Carlos said simply. His back was facing her and he was leaning out the doorway.

"What? Why?" Jill questioned. She looked at the crumpled note he held in his hand.

"Read that note over there," he said weakly while pointing at the counter.

Chris and LJ walked out the room. Both yawning and rubbing away sleep from their eyes.

"What in the world was all that about?" LJ managed to say while stifling a yawn.

Jill walked over to the bench and plopped down with the note in her right hand. "Alice left us," she numbly explained to the two. How will I explain this to Angie? Damnit Alice why did you have to leave. You left me in charge and you left me to take care of Carlos. How could you do this to him too?

"Jill?" Angie asked as she came to the front of the police station with the rest of the group. "That was the nightmare I had. It was Alice leaving us because Umbrella was after her. Tell me it isn't true."

Jill turned away unsure of how to answer the little girl. Fortunately Carlos saved her.

"Don't worry. She left for a little bit but we are going to get her back."

Carlos shoved the crumpled note in his pocket. It was the one thing Alice had left for him and he was going to keep it.

"Got that right," LJ said.

"I'm with you," Chris exclaimed.

It was settled. They were leaving in search of a very good and trusted comrade. After all, the fight with Umbrella had just begun. And everything always eventually comes to an end.

I decided to end this story with this chapter (don't hate me for it!). However, this is not the end as I am going to make a sequel in the near future because I can't just leave Alice and Carlos separated :) Feel free to leave a review on what you would possibly want in the next sequel. Maybe more action, suspense, Alice/Carlos maybe Jill/Chris, I'm willing to look at any ideas.
