37. THE GRAND FINALE

'Hey! Hey, can you hear us?' Markus screamed in the walkie-talkie.

'Loud and clear, Doctor' Matthew responded.

'The surgery's over! We're ready to transport the patient out!'

'Alright, excellent! The infected are al down! You can use the walkie-talkie to call for a helicopter. We'll go back into the mansion and extract everyone!'

'Alright' Markus closed the station and turned at the other doctors. 'The front door's clear. Let's move out!'

'Sir!' Matthew shouted in the walkie-talkie. 'The surgery's over! You can set the detonator!'

'Alright. How long do you need?' Wesker responded.

'Let's say… Five minutes!'

'I got you. Make sure everyone's out until then'

'Of course! I'll be waiting at Point A, as we agreed!'

'Copy that. Wesker out'

Matthew smiled and rushed back into the mansion to recover the rest of the people inside.

"Damn it! Only a minute left!" Matthew said to himself as he kept on running.

Suddenly, someone appeared in front of him.

'Hey! Dr. Tachibana!'

'Matthew!' the girl smiled.

'Come on! We have to get out of here ASAP! The boss is about to blow this whole place up!'

'What about the others?' Tomoe asked.

'They're already out! Every single person inside is already waiting at the extraction point'

'Okay!' the girl smiled. 'Let's get out of here!'

Matthew grabbed her hand and started to run as fast as he could.

'Boss, I got Dr. Tachibana with me! She's the last person left inside!'

'Excellent work, Matthew!'

'We're now heading for Point A. You're there already, right?'

'Of course. I'm waiting for you'

'Nice!' the soldier smiled. 'We're almost there! Going down the stairs now…'

'I see… Hey, Matthew'

'Yeah?'

'Take good care of Dr. Tachibana, alright?'

'Of course! Do you even need to ask?'

'Heh. I trust you'

After half a minute, the two were already at the extraction point.

'Phew! Right on time!' the soldier looked at his watch.

'Nice job, dude! You got me really worried there for a minute' Connor smiled.

'Wait…' Matthew looked. 'Where's the Boss?'

'Huh? Isn't he with you?'

Suddenly, everyone's heart skipped a beat.

Matthew turned around and looked at the mansion they just left.

'No…'

*BOOM*
