Well here you readers have it and I have a little surprise for you guys in this chapter! Enjoy :D
"We've been waiting here forever." Daisy groaned while she rolled in circles on Jill's office chair.
"It's only been 15 minutes Daisy," I rolled my eyes at her childish gesture. "Stop messing with her chair, if she yells at you I'm not sticking up for you." Sometimes I can't believe we're the same age. I continued to walk around the room until the door slammed open and in came Jill looking more stressed than I have ever seen her.
Daisy immediately jumped off Jill's chair and walked to where I was. "I'm so sorry girls but I have to cancel today's classes." She was extremely serious. She started shuffling the papers on her desk and then went to her file cabinet and skimmed through her documents.
"What happened?" I asked concerned.
"We're missing some classified documents and other things, I'm pretty sure there's been a security breach but I'm not sure how it happened. "
"Is there anything we could do to help?" Daisy asked before I could.
"I think it's best if both of you go home, for all we know the person or people who stole those documents and other things is still here and well I don't want either of you getting hurt."
I didn't dare question Jill, her eyes were frustrated and well she also wanted us to be safe.
"Alright Jill, we'll go and you be careful too." Jill simply nodded and I signaled Daisy to follow me, she was a little resilient but followed me out the door. We walked down the corridor and they were crowded with BSAA officials. We walked towards the exit when I remembered I had left some of my notes in Dr. Craig's laboratory.
"Aw, Daisy, do you mind if we go back to Dr. Craig's lab, I left some notes-" I felt her tug on my arm and pull me through the crowd and before I knew it we were already in front of the laboratory doors. I didn't understand why she wanted to stay so badly, so I simply glared at her to get the answer.
She sighed, "I just want to see some BSAA hunks getting business taken care of." She admitted sheepishly.
"You really don't think things through, right? Like how dangerous it could be." I scolded. Daisy simply shrugged at my reasoning. I proceeded to knocking on the door a few times but no one answered.
I tugged on the door handle and it was open. "Dr. Craig?" I called out. No answer, how strange, he's always here to greet us, maybe he ran off because of the infiltration. We looked around the lab for my notes, that's when I noticed a strange note on his desk.
-Craig, I'm getting frustrated, send over the sample immediately. The Boss won't wait…. I also noticed that on the top right corner there was a familiar sign an Umbrella, the same white and red logo that haunted many people including me.
I heard footsteps approaching the door, I quickly left the desk side and went closer to Daisy who was observing many photographs on the wall. I pretended to be interested in the pictures and casually turned around to see who entered the room.
Dr. Craig came in with a weary expression and a silver compact case. He didn't even greet us, it's possible he didn't see us; he shuffled through a lot of papers at his desk and walked over to the lab. I couldn't help it I followed him into the lab section and eyed him closely.
He took a series of sample tubes and put a variety of other liquids inside each tube. This was too suspicious, I had to ask. Dr. Craig what was going on. "Is everything alright?" He looked at me his eyes were tired, he had dark swollen bags underneath them too.
"Everything isn't alright Rebecca, they need the sample or they'll have my head!" He said panicking. Daisy came into view from the other side and I signaled with my eyes towards the door so she ran out. I had to stall him for as long as possible, until she was able to find help.
"Who doctor?" I questioned but I pretty much knew the answer to that but I was hoping for a different one.
"The same bastards who nearly killed you many years ago!" He was looking more lunatic by the minute and he reached into his doctor's coat and pulled out a gun and aimed it straight towards me.
"It is nothing personal dear but I need you as my ticket out of here. I'M NOT LOOSING MY HEAD!" He came towards me and I tried to knock the gun out of his hand but he was much more of an expert than me in everything. He tightened his grip around my neck and with the other arm he aimed at my head with the gun. At that instant Daisy came in with Reed.
His eyes widened when he saw me in Dr. Craig's murderous grip. Reed lowered his weapon ever so slightly and controlled his posture. "Doc calm down and lower the gun and let Rebecca go." He said as smoothly as possible but his face was still angry.
"You think you're top dog right Anderson that you can just order me around? Well I've got news for you-" I was able to release my right arm from his grip and Reed seemed to have noticed and I elbowed Dr. Craig in the gut. He groaned and if I would have blinked I would have missed the next scene. Reed raised his weapon and fired. Almost instantly Craig fell limply on the floor with no other argument. Reed ran towards me and pulled me away and close to him on the other side of the room.
"Daisy go get officer Hank and Johnson, they should be down in security." He said still looking at me.
"Sure thing." Daisy ran out of the room leaving us together and so close. He smoothed my hair back and looked at me, he seemed to want to express many things but in doing this he couldn't even say a word and sadly I was the same.
We looked at each other for the longest time and it reminded me so much of when Billy- of him when he saved me and his eyes were soft but his face was worried. I was fine being here close to him and I was hoping he felt the same. "Thank you." I managed to say through my dream state.
"Rebecca I owe you so much from before and..." he trailed off and gulped hard. I put my hand on the side of his face. He relaxed his face into my small hand but still looking at me pensively and hurt by something I could not tell.
"Owe me? But you've done all the rescuing ever since I was in STARS."
"You've been right about me all this time; I can't keep away from you any longer…"
"Billy." Was all I managed to say, he smiled and winked but quickly became serious again, he was leaning closer to me but as our faces were centimeters apart when the door opened once again and in came Daisy and who I took to be Johnson and Hank.
Billy was still holding on to me from the waist Daisy seemed to have noticed and bit her lip suppressing a wide smile.
"What happened?" One of the two men questioned, kneeling next to Dr. Craig's unconscious body. I looked back to Billy who looked at me and stepped forward to speak.
"Well Hank, when I got here Nathaniel over there had a gun pointed at Rebecca's head and was talking about not losing his head and such." He stood casually again.
"Officer Hank," I said slowly, "Dr. Craig is the person you're looking for as you can see that silver case he has there, he was stealing samples of an unfamiliar virus and antidotes for Umbrella." Both officer shot an unintentional glare at me when I said that name, even Billy came to stand in front of me and stared with disbelief.
"How do you know that?" Johnson questioned coming closer.
"There's a note on his desk, which states that someone from Umbrella needs a sample." I said trying to stand my ground. He went to check the desk and picked up the sticky note and nodded.
"Alright we need to clear the area, Hank take Nathaniel to the hospital wing but strap him in, we'll need him for questioning later. Reed I'll need you to go through Nathaniel's office to check for anything suspicious. I'll go inform Jill about this." We all nodded in unison and everyone got busy.
"We should get going Becky; I don't think we can help anymore." She said walking toward the door. I followed her and took one last look at Billy who gave me a reassuring smile and a wink before I left.
Daisy and I walked in silence through the hallway. The hallways were less crowded with officers but they were looking at us; I'm betting everyone knew what happened at the laboratory. As we reached the exit and walked right into the parking lot Daisy jumped in front with a wide smile. "What happened after I left you and Reed alone?" She would totally flip when I'd tell her the truth and knowing Daisy the way I did she would probably scream. So I decided:
"I'll tell you when we get home." I muttered, knowing then when we got home I was going to be interrogated thoroughly by Detective Daisy.
About only one thing went right today and that was knowing Billy's was really here and that he was all for me.
So Billy confesses! (About time too, right Rebecca?) ahahha
Did you guy guess Dr. Nathaniel Craig was bad? Umbrella seems to be up to no good.
Someone is coming back next chapter and things are gonna get tough for our protagonists (guesses?)
Now to answer some reviews!
Shantty: I really enjoyed writing last chapter because of the scene and chemistry Reed (Billy) and Rebecca shared in the shooting range. The Wesker dummy was a crack I came up with last-minute ahaha (everyone hates Wesker). As for Rebecca, thank you I'm pretty sure Rebecca would be like this! Hope you like this chapter! :D
Thanks to everyone for reading and please continue to review, follow and favorite if you like this story. Till next update.
