Chapter Twenty: Landed
The BSAA board the helicopter and take off back to the states. Meanwhile Hunnigan contacts them from headquarters as she surprises them with a mission briefing.
Everyone is shocked and outraged at the surprise of the new mission. "There has been an outbreak across the country. All of our people are out trying to contain and eliminate the threat. Your team's expertise is desperately needed" Hunnigan informs them.
"What about Sherry and Steve" Claire asks infuriated. "They need immediate medical intervention. We just can't string them along" she adds.
"I'm sorry but that is impossible at the moment" Hunnigan tells them.
"What is wrong with you people" Claire shouts out.
"They need care and supervision and you are willing to take a chance and risk their lives" Jill exclaims.
"Sorry but we have procedure and the well being of our country comes before one or two civilians" she says very persistently.

A helicopter flies just above the Arklay Mountains landing nearby on the outskirts of Stone Ville. Nicholai and Kelly exit the helicopter with the blonde 12 following behind. Mountains surround them completely. They all enter an elevator with two armed guards who were anxiously awaiting their arrival.
They walk through their new facility entering through several electronic doors down numerous different hallways. The guards are ordered to stand guard at the end of one hallway as the three go on ahead. They walk through a couple more doors passing a lab and communication room. Nicholai orders 12 to stand guard outside one room as he and Kelly enter through.
They enter a small room as before them stands a huge water filled test tube. A man floats inside with his eyes closed slightly. Nicholai and Kelly seem to be immensely satisfied by the site of this man. "His blood was a perfect specimen" Kelly says. "I cannot believe we were able to find his body… intact " she adds.
"His DNA has sufficiently increased my strength and endurance" Nicholai says. "I experienced the extent of its strength when they attacked me."
"Its likes shooting a brick wall" Kelly says cutting in. "I've been able to manipulate both viruses to suit our specific… needs" she says.
"Good" he says looking at the man in the tube. He then glances over to Kelly smirking. "Evolution… evolution sure does have its perks" he says.

A helicopter lands atop a building in the heart of Stone Ville. Ada exits as the helicopter takes off. She gets a message from "The Agency" briefing her on her mission objective. She walks about the building and peeks over the corner seeing the woman walking.
She moves quickly through the city holding her gun firmly in her hands as Ada watches above. She creeps quietly through the city. "Hmm, Norah we meet again" Ada says to herself. "However you aren't my priority… at least not yet…"
Gunfire can be heard coming from around the building. Ada runs to the other side and sees a group of about 3 men shooting at numerous undead creatures. She looks on and quietly says to herself "Leon…"
She shakes her head trying to brush off all that's going on around her. "Now, Sherry… Where will they have you?"
