Chapter: 37 Dive Dive Dive!!!
My insides twisted and I started to sweat. I was so afraid of this place. No clue why when I had Billy at my side, but I suppose it was my fear catching up to me. I ran along side Billy making our way for the sub marine.
"So, you know Wesker or something?" I asked and glanced at Billy. We ran on me looking at him half smiling and half serious. He glanced at me side ways and ran the back of his hand across his forehead.
"No I don't know him. Didn't I tell you that?" He said bitterly. I looked at him side ways and tried to keep up running down the stone stairs. We reached the bottom, and looked around to make sure the area was secure. Billy went to the left and under an indented area in the stairs. He returned with some bow gun arrows and a pack of AMMO.
"Yeah huh and I forgot…" I said dramatically and looked behind a metallic barrel against a dark wood counter to the far front of the small plat form. There was a river to our right with a small electronic platform. On the there was a stand and a square hollow. Billy looked at me and was about to say something but didn't.
"OH! Okay, either we play Captain Nemo, or we sing YELLOW SUBMARINE!" I yelled excitedly, and took the steering wheel thingy from Billy. I walked onto the small yellow platform and waited for Billy. He didn't move for a while and he just looked at me all weird. He looked spaced out, like he wasn't HERE. You know HERE.
"Billy?" I asked, and looked around to see if he was distracted by something shiny.
"Billy?" I asked again and this time his eyes got smaller and he looked at me. He was back from outer space. He looked sad for a minute but then he gave me a warm smile.
"Uh. Sorry Claire. I zoned out for a second." He said softly, and stepped onto the platform with rails at both left and right except at the front where a small gate thing would fall forward. I put the steering wheel in the hollow, and looked at him.
"It's okay." I said and smiled at him. Billy flung the steering wheel to the right, and immediately a small submarine appeared before us. All the water parted to the sides as it rose. It was dull gray and didn't shine much in the moon light.
"The hell did you know a sub marine would appear?" Billy asked and looked at me surprised and then back at the submarine. I looked at him and studied his features. The were some dark circles under his eyes which would explain why he was tripping everywhere, and his grayish blue eyes were stressed and tired looking too. Well at the moment he was just curious.
"I…am… CLAIRE BEAR!" I said realizing before he hadn't said Bear after Claire. He stared at me. I saw some red in his eyes too. He looked away and we both nearly fell over as the platform moved forward towards the submarine.
Billy caught my arm but nearly fell himself.
"Billy what's wrong?" I asked as the silver small gate thing fell down and the lid of the submarine opened. I looked down. Climb down? Yes No? Yes! Billy climbed down first and I followed after. It was a small space and the metallic ladder was placed in the middle. There was a sitting area that was made out of what looked like crates with a sheet over them. The control panels were on the other side of the ladder. There was a small pack on the crates which would give more pocket space for items.
"Claire Bear… I said I was fine." Billy said and pulled a lever. The sub marine started to descend immediately. There was a small round window to the left of the controls where you could see the dark water and some bubbles float upward.
"Here." I said and pushed the sack into his stomach. His hands caught it before it fell to the ground. He looked at me and down at the gear.
"Thanks." He said silently, and put it on. Unlike in the game you could actually see where the gear was. In the game I always wondered where the hell it was on Claire, but now on Billy you could see it. The pack was folded out was a pretty cool item. It went around his waist and up crossing over his chest and around his shoulders. Talk about G.I. Joe.
"Talk about G.I. Joe." Billy said, and loaded all his ammunition into the pockets. He was still happy he had something to carry all the items in.
Finally we both made it to the damn complex under water and went inside. It was kind of creepy because I have a fear of sharks courtesy of JAWS, and so I walked to the furthest side away from the window.
"Ugghh…." Came the recognizable groan of four zombies. Billy whipped out his gun and shot them all down. I followed after him dragging my feet along. I wished I was back in the cabin with Chris… Leon… Jill… all those guys. I sighed and thought about Rick.
Rick and Claire
"So who was that guy?" Claire asked and looked at Rick. Rick looked at Claire and smiled. They were still in the mansion; the marble bathroom to be precise. There were bat squeaks and the sound of flapping wings. Claire shuddered.
"He's an old friend of ours." Rick said and checked the stalls for anything. They didn't find anything besides a first aid spray and a metallic brief case.
"We should go through the double doors we found before coming into the mansion remember them?" Claire asked Rick. He nodded and closed the door silently behind them. They then left the mansion and the courtyard outside. They saw Steve a few paces away headed for the same doors.
"STEVE!" Claire yelled, and ran to him. Rick's eye twitched, but he jogged over to them. There was a small fire going on, on top of a barrel.
"What?" He asked in a deep voice obviously not his own.
"We should stick together kid." Rick said irritated by Steve's moves he had pulled lately.
"I'm not a kid." Steve glared.
"Right." Rick muttered.
"Come on guys, stop it. Let's stick together, it's safest that way." Claire said, and led them through the metallic doors into a large court yard with a small tank and a brick complex to their left. The earth suddenly started to shake.
"What's going on?!" Steve yelled under all the rumbling. Suddenly a huge earth worm sprouted from the ground and somehow managed to let out a shriek.
"DUCK!" Rick yelled and dove out of the way as the worm re entered the earth. Rick stood only to get knocked off his feet again by the worm. Claire and Steve got up too.
"Run for the doors!" Claire yelled and all three ran for the complex's double wooden doors. They all double over panting. Rick felt his left side where the worm hit him. His leather jacket was ripped and his T-Shirt was scratched.
"You guys okay?" Steve asked and stood straight.
"Yes."
"I'm good."
"Where to now? We should spli-" Steve was cut off.
"No!" Both Claire and Rick exclaimed in unison. Steve shrugged.
They were in a hallway now; there was an open shutter to their right, and a door straight ahead. There floor was checkered, and there was another shutter on the same side but at the far end of the hallway. Then there was an office looking door bisecting the right wall.
"We have a lot of rooms to check." Rick said and looked at the teens. Well old teens. Claire was nineteen and Steve was seventeen. He himself was twenty three.
"Let's go in order." Claire said and walked through. There were stairs leading up to a hallway with two wooden doors. One which had no door knob and another which led to God knew where.
"That last door is our only resort." Claire mumbled tired, and walked ahead. They all ended up in a room with a few card board boxes and small cages inside. The room twisted to the left, which led to a large desk, and on the opposite wall was a very large window and an electronically locked door. The window let you see into an experiment room with tubes inside. There was a picture in the back of the room which was red and held a skeleton on it. Rick threw a few worthless papers around and found a bow gun in the process.
"Yeeesss!!" He said smirking and grinning. Victory…
Wait. The bow gun sucks ass…
Rick's shoulder's slumped in disappointment. He then found a note on the desk near a computer which was pretty damn small. Rick felt treacherous and changed the words around a bit like his sister always did…
"Hello Mr. Careless! How are you? I'm just dandy. Well in any case, instead of stamping a stamp across your forehead reading the code, I'm chained to a chair naked writing you this note. (Okay not naked I'm wearing my lucky underwear which isn't doing me any good right now) Don't ask why, Alfred told me to take my clothes off for decontamination… that perverted…ANYWAYS; I'm in this little situation thanks to you and your memory of a gold fish! (Goldfish have the memory of three seconds; actually, I'd be giving you too much credit so never mind.) But in case you forget the code for the lab which you did for the 2457 time, the code is written on the painting in the lab which you can see from the security room. You do remember where that is don't you? Anyway, smell you later dumb ass."
Rick chuckled to himself out loud. Claire and Steve looked at him.
"What?" Steve asked and took the paper. Claire and Steve both read it and found nothing funny about it. Rick told them he was thinking about something else to counter their questions.
'Claire Bear is right… it is fun to do that…'
Rick smiled again, and thought about how tired he must have been to have done that.
BEEP BEEP BEEP
A Loud siren went off and a red light flashed violently in the lab. The three moved closer to the window…
"mmff!!!" Came a frantic muffled cry from a worker behind the glass. He was dressed in all white and yellow gloves, the only skin they saw was a rectangle showing the eyes and where the nose started to curve out. A part of the 'coat' was ripped and blood was coming out of it. The man kept looking back at something…
"I CAN'T HEAR YOU!" Claire yelled loudly, and touched the window. Rick looked at the panel and tried his hardest to see the code on the painting but it was too far away to see.
"WE DON'T KNOW THE CODE!" Rick yelled loudly.
"ARGH!" The yell was loud enough to be heard through the glass. A large brownish hand grabbed the scientist's fat head, HEAD, I mean head, and gripped it firmly.
Claire and Steve stepped back as well as Rick. The hand crushed the man's head against the thick glass, and the skull immediately broke. The man's body fell to the ground lifelessly and what ever killed him was gone. Blood and meat chunks dripped down the window slowly.
"Emergency shutters have been activated… you have thirty seconds till the shutters in the main hall descend… all employees please evacuate Lab forty five." Came a feminine voice.
"Shit!" Steve was the first out the door.
"Nice." Rick muttered and raced after Claire. They both saw Steve in the hallway and suddenly the shutters started to move. Rick's heart raced.
"HURRY!" Rick yelled and they both ran down the steps. They both saw it was too low to run under and dove.
"Made it!" Claire exclaimed and breathed heavily. The siren still blared.
"Jesus…" Rick mumbled and stood. The shutter had just barely missed them.
Billy and Claire Bear
Billy and I made it into a grotto area where it was really cold, and echoy. There were control panels and a huge green plane. This was apparently where we would leave the island. There were dead bats on the ground; bleeding. Billy stepped forward and stopped. There was a man operating the computer. He was dressed in all black, and wore a gas mask…
"Who are you?!" Billy raised his weapon and pointed it at the masked man. The figure kept typing for a second and then turned to face us. He cocked his head to the side then walked towards Billy.
"Stop where you are or I swear to God I'll kill your sorry ass!" Billy cursed, and gritted his teeth. I looked at the man.
It was Hunk.
Hunk stopped for a minute then walked on towards Billy. I saw something flicker in Billy's eyes. Was he traumatized after what had happened in Africa?
"I SAID STOP!" Billy yelled. His yell even scared me. I stepped back a little. Billy grunted something. I didn't hear it I was trying not to pass out. Hunk probably read in Billy's face that he was going to shoot cause he started running.
"UGH!" Hunk had run towards Billy, sent a kick straight to his chin, and done a back flip. Billy fell back into a rail that separated the two walkways and areas of the underground place. Well not underground anymore, but you get the point. Billy got to his feet and rubbed his neck. He glared at Hunk with hatred.
"Billy I don't…" I started but realized I should shut up because of the look he was giving me. I immediately felt irked.
"Hmph. Let's go." Billy said and put his gun down. Did Billy need something to take his anger out on or something? Why was he being such a klutz, and now violent? Falling all over the place one minute and now taking on someone who he doesn't even know.
Hunk shook his head and his pointing finger imitated signaling 'No.'
"Urk!" Billy held his neck in pain.
"Coen. He is getting impatient. I will help you but only for as long as I can." I heard Hunk's deep muffled voice. Billy stood still his eyes wide.
"Who are you?" Billy asked and breathed heavily. In all honesty I don't get why Billy didn't shoot Hunk. Maybe he didn't want to kill anyone especially after what happened in Africa so he was avoiding it. But this was just Bull shit.
"I'm your new comrade." He said and helped Billy to stand up straight.
"Ugh… so you kick me?" Billy asked and glared at him.
"You had a gun pointed at me." Came a short reply.
"Couldn't you have told me you were here to help while I yelled out all the damn warnings?" Billy asked as I approached.
"Yes. But this is more exciting." I almost laughed if it wasn't for Billy's pain.
"Right…" Billy muttered and stretched his neck.
"So uh… what now?" I asked and stood next to Billy. Hunk patted my head and looked at Billy.
"I work alone." He then disappeared behind the door we came from.
Silence passed between us. I wanted to hug Billy and ask him what was wrong but I was still scared after his look he gave me, and the violent behavior he was displaying. I mean … he's twenty six…which meant he was still young and able to undergo all sorts of stress and pressure.
"I'm sorry." He said. I stopped thinking.
"huh?" Unintelligently.
"Sorry for what I was doing. I'm… tired. Of everything." Billy confessed.
"It's okay. I mean everyone gets worn down, and then wants to take their anger out on something… well in this case it was someone, I understand." I said.
"Claire Bear… where are you from? Really?" Billy asked and turned around. He was okay now, not hurt anymore. I felt my stomach turn.
"California." I said.
"We're in California." He said.
"Billy I'm uh. I'll tell you later." I said.
"Why? What's wrong? It's not like you work for the CIA kid." Billy said and rubbed his neck. Okay so maybe it still hurt a little.
"Is Billy your real name?" I asked. He looked at me surprised.
"I-…" Billy shrugged it off and looked around. After we investigated the area, we moved on. Preferably somewhere where we could sleep. But before that I needed to know who Hunk was talking about and why Billy was involved…
A/N: Boring a little cuz well, it was a boring part. I added Hunk to the series to put some spice in it so I hope you guys liked that one. Sorry if you didn't like I really am but I was going through a writers block sorta. So PLEASE REVIEW ANYWAY! Sorry it took so long to update too, I luv all of yall!
