We toured the already destroyed building. There were very dark areas, Angela and I were walking and in the middle of us Leon accompanied us.
In another sector the stench of death was unbearable, there was no life in our path, only structures consumed by flames.
It didn't take long to get out of the place and we saw Claire and Senator Davis arguing. In the distance I could see a helicopter and several armed soldiers. guarding the site.
- Frederick said it, even you couldn't convince countries to invest in the development of the insufficiently researched G-virus. - The redhead said.
- What are you talking about? - The senator questioned.
- You know at first, I didn't suspect that you were connected with this terrorism. If for no other reason than you were in the airport terminal when the event occurred...
Claire continued her explanation and put Senator Davis in a difficult position.
- But you had a motive for causing all this. Stocks. Wilpharma's stock tanked because of our accusations. You were afraid that the situation would turn out the same as it did for Umbrella Corporation, so you needed an excuse to use the vaccine. - She accused him.
- Now, wait a minute. - The suit man interrupted her. - Yes, I'm a stockholder. And Wilpharma should regain the public's faith after this incident. But there's no way in hell I would support terrorism to ensure that. First of all, what is the G virus? I've never even heard of it. - He defended himself.
- I know you ordered Frederick to dispose of the G virus when you called him. - She discussed him.
- I told him not to show you anything more than you needed to see, that was it. - The politician clarified.
Leon, Angela and I approached them.
- I doubt he knows anything. - Kennedy intervened.
- Leon. - Claire was surprised. - Laura?
When she said my name I just smiled.
- General Grande's communication man talked. It seems that all of us, the senator included, were fooled by him. - The agent continued.
- Who are you talking about? - Claire asked confused.
Suddenly the bell rang, the huge clock said twelve o'clock. The redhead was confused, it seemed that some memories were fluttering in her mind. She turned her gaze to a phone booth, the cables in it were broken.
- Impossible. - She muttered puzzled.
- Well, what are we supposed to do now? - I asked.
It was when Leon's phone rang. He took a look.
- They need us at headquarters. - Kennedy spoke. - Senator, for your safety, go home. Some D.S.O. agents will protect the perimeter.
Leon gestured to us and we followed him, along with Claire and Angela we got into the special response team van.
In less than twenty minutes we reached a large concentration camp protected by several heavily armed soldiers.
We had entered a building, the initials D.S.O. was inscribed in the main entrance. (Division of Security Operations).
The place was a very large and technological complex, since there were holographic screens in various parts.
We walked towards an escalator and went to an office, there was Ingrid Hunnigan.
- Leon, you arrived just in time. - The brunette spoke and directed her gaze towards me.
I just gave her a half smile.
- The detainee gave us a phone number, we are waiting for him to make a call to locate him. - Explained the assistant agent.
- Thank you. - Kennedy agreed.
I went to a corner of the office and the woman approached me.
- Apparently you didn't follow the orders of agent Kennedy. - She spoke to me.
- I crossed Wilpharma and saw a subject murdering two guards of the place. I couldn't help poking around. - I defended myself.
- You're just like him. - She opined.
I just made a face.
Soon Hunnigan's computer rang and we got closer to see.
- We already have the location of the subject. - She said.
Kennedy opened a closet with his fingerprint, on that shelf were many weapons of various class. He took a 9mm. with their corresponding charges.
My jaw dropped when I saw the entire arsenal.
The blonde reloaded the gun and removed some keys. He closed the closet.
- Let's go. - He said.
I looked at Hunnigan and she nodded for me to go with them.
We went back outside and quickly got into a car that Leon showed us. He and Claire were in the front and I was in the back seat.
- I'll go in my van. - Angela warned and walked away.
The agent placed the GPS and the location was received by the device.
Suddenly Hunnigan appeared on the screen.
- I'll send reinforcements to secure the area. Be careful. - She talked and soon her figure disappeared.
Kennedy sent the location to Angela, started the vehicle and accelerated.
From one minute to the next, we enter a mountainous and lonely place. My heart was pounding with nervousness.
Angela had made a call.
- Leon, I'll go the other way, so I'll take him by surprise. - She noticed.
- Roger. - He said.
It doesn't take long to get to the right place. And we saw a parked car there, the same one that I had seen when, curious, I arrived at Wilpharma.
Leon stopped the car and left the high beam on.
- Laura, stay here. - The agent ordered.
Claire reloaded her pistol and they both got out of the vehicle.
There it was, Frederick Downing enjoying his cigarette very confidently, with a briefcase on the hood of his car.
Until suddenly, he noticed our presence, became alarmed, and took his pistol away to aim at both of us.
- Don' move! - He screamed. - I have the last of the vaccine and the development data. This is all that remains in the entire world, the rest is gone. - He threatened.
Leon and Claire lowered their weapons to calm the tension in the environment.
- Yes, that's right. - Frederick spoke. - You two can appreciate the situation better than anyone, after your up-close and personal experiences with virus victims. Mankind will need this! - He exclaimed euphoric.
I was very tense inside the car, clenching my fists as I saw Angela heading behind the enemy.
Soon she pointed her gun at him and he stopped talking and froze.
The special response team agent snatched his pistol from him and knocked him down.
Frederick knelt with his hands up. Angela was aiming her pistol straight at his head.
- Wait, please don't shoot me, let's talk. - He was begging for his life. - You're a smart woman and smart women like money. I can make you rich. We'll split everything, fifty-fifty...
I was preplexed looking at the scene. Is she going to shoot him?
Leon and Claire left him to agent Angela Miller.
In the end she triggered the gun but it wasn't loaded. She decided to arrest Frederick Downing.
I just sighed with a slight laugh.
Soon reinforcements arrived, fortunately there was no one around and catching him was not very difficult.
Kennedy took the briefcase and together with the redhead climbed back into the car.
Leon handed me the briefcase and I, curious, opened it.
There it was, the famous G virus in a glass tube. It looked very fragile.
Who would say that something so vulnerable to the naked eye could wipe out all of humanity?
