Another new character introduced in this
chapter. Legal Disclaimer applies here. Enjoy.
Leon Scott
Kennedy drove his Jeep Wrangler up to the front of the police station he let
the engine idle for a moment, and then he shut the engine off. He knew this was
the place. The place where he would find them.
He smacked his
head on the grip while he got out of his car. "Shit," he muttered,
standing upright.
He picked up
his Remington out of the back of the Jeep. After a moment, he put it back. He
wouldn't need it, if he guessed right.
Leon pulled out
his Calico M-950 sub machinegun. He studied it for a moment. It had been given
to him because he requested it. BioRout had even given him a choice of weapons
before the mission. He'd almost picked only the Steyr AUG, but he'd spied the
Calico, and then he couldn't resist taking it too.
He left the
Steyr and Remington in the back of the car, only taking his Calico and his
Desert Eagle. He didn't want to get weighted down with too...
CRASH!!
He heard a
noise come from the parking garage. Chillingly, he remembered the incident
three years go...where he'd met Ada...
Somebody
could be in trouble. While he had no intentions of killing anybody...
...unless
that prick Scott stops advertising this like a goddamn neon sign...
...he had no
qualms about shooting anybody. However, his cop instinct had not entirely
failed him, and he ran over to check it out. He got inside, and stopped,
confused.
He saw
absolutely nothing. There were a few cars, but nothing really...
There was a
Ford Econoline van in the middle of the garage. The Ford was on its side, with
it's passenger side door, glass, and roof missing.
He looked inside
to see any blood.
He saw a little
blood on the seats, and a chill ran up his bones. On second thought, maybe
that assault rifle isn't a real dumb idea...
He turned to
leave, and a massive, ear-piercing shriek ripped through the silence of the
garage.
---------------------------------------------------
The man in the
lab coat yawned. He was so damn tired...so tired of this shit work...
He nodded off,
and missed what every scientist in the world would have killed to see. He
missed his prize specimen gestating...growing a new self...
He woke up just
as he saw a man firing wildly into the ceiling. That damn Leon... He
grumbled something inaudible, then went back to sleep. That was why he didn't
see the man with the knife behind him.
Leon fired at
the creature. To say that this didn't faze him would be a blatant lie. Even
after his adventures in Raccoon City, he'd never get used to this. Well, at
least the bigger monsters. This was one of those.
It stood a good
6'9 and had barely any skin clinging to the body that was once Tom. In the
poorly lit garage it looked like there was blood all over the thing. Leon
didn't care as he unloaded on it. The bullets had seemingly no affect on the
creature's muscled chest. It had two huge arms branching off it and two
smaller, not fully developed arms coming out of its ribs. The things' mouth was
that five times of a regular humans'. Huge fangs replaced the teeth it once
had. A long tongue hung out of its' mouth, similar to a licker. The skull had
seemed to increase in length and its' eyes seemed to be in the back of its'
head. It stood on two tree trunk-sized legs with three long claws for toes
(think T-Rex).
This is NOT
a good day Leon thought solemnly.
Then the most
horrible thing that could happen did; he ran out of ammo.
"Fuck,"
he calmly stated.
He backed up
and his back was against what seemed to be a support strut for the parking
garage. That is when Leon saw the thing bend its' legs. Leon just barely rolled
out of the way of a huge claw impaling him. The support was now lying in
shambles.
"Hmm,"
Leon was formulating a plan.
He ran and put
his back up against another one. The thing jumped and Leon dodged. Another
support crumbled to the ground. The ceiling above the thing seemed to be
dipping.
"I've got
myself a plan," he said a loud to no one in particular.
============================================
Eric had finally gotten the door open. Joshua popped into the room and looked
around, followed by Eric. Both of them had their guns raised, ready for anything.
The room was empty except for a manhole in the center of the room.
Slowly Joshua
and Eric managed to pry it open. Joshua climbed down first and was soon
followed by Eric. As soon as Joshua's feet hit the floor he searched for a
light switch. He found a switch and flipped it. A bright light cascaded
throughout the room. Once Joshua stopped covering his eyes, he looked around
the room.
"Holy..."
began Joshua.
"Shit,"
finished Eric.
The room was
packed with crates. On the walls hung various weapons. It may have been a small
police station but they were packing enough weaponry to take on an army. At the
far end of the room was a door. Joshua grabbed two Desert Eagles off the wall
and put them in some new holsters. He climbed back up the ladder.
"Where ya'
goin?" asked Eric.
"Check on
Tom. Load up and enjoy!" yelled Joshua as he climbed out of the room.
He walked out
of the door. Then the police station. He looked across the street just in time
to see the parking garage collapse on itself.
"HOLY
SHIT!" yelled Joshua.
Before he could
regain his thoughts, he spotted a jeep go flying down the street. His eyes flew
back to the parking garage.
"Fuck!"
yelled Joshua.
In his mind
there was no way Tom could've survived that. He ran back inside and climbed down
the ladder, dragging the manhole cover over it.
"What's
up?" asked Eric.
"You mean,
what's down," said Joshua sadly.
"Huh?"
"The damn
parking garage collapsed on itself. Then I saw a jeep pull out and go flying
down the street," explained Joshua.
"We have
to go get Tom!"
"There is
no way he could've made it out of there alive, we can't go back now. So, stock
up," said Joshua.
===========================================
"Shitshitshitshitshitshit!!!!!!!" screamed Leon Scott Kennedy as he
drove down the street.
He had just
made it out with his life intact. At least his plan had worked. He had gotten
the thing to knock out all the supports until the thing collapsed on the
creature. He had only a few minutes to get the hell out of dodge. Flying down the
street in front of him he saw a van. He didn't need to guess who it was as he
heard the stereo thumping. With a gesture of his hand, Scott swerved and
stopped.
"What's
up?" Scott asked.
"Don't go
that way! I've just encountered the target..." said Leon.
"...And?"
"And that
thing is nothing to be messed with. It's too damn late, the little fucker all
ready gestated," said Leon.
"Fuck!"
yelled Scott, "Well, there is still that two million if we kill it AFTER
it all ready gestated."
"You'd go
after that damn thing for ONLY two million?! You fuckin' crazy!" yelled
Leon.
"Two
million is two million," explained Scott.
"It's not
worth it man. We've got to get the fuck out of this nightmare."
"Why are
you being such a little puss Kennedy?" taunted Scott.
Leon raised his
guns, "Because I ain't got no ammo, that's why!" Leon set the guns
down and tossed Scott a radio.
"What's
this for?" asked Scott.
"In case
one of us gets caught in the shit, that's why," explained Leon.
"So you're
coming then?"
Leon shrugged,
"Yeah, but I'm going to the clearing to radio for more equipment. You
should come along. That sonuvabitch isn't going anywhere soon."
"What do
you mean?"
"I left
him buried under three tons of concrete!" shouted Leon with a smile.
Scott smiled and
laughed, "You sneaky son of a bitch.... Okay then, let's go," Scott
said as they pulled off.
Leon radioed to
him, "Could you at least turn that goddamned music down?"
"WHAT?
CAN'T HEAR YOU!" Scott yelled as he cranked the radio up.
Scott laughed
gleefully. He was now playing something by Linkin Park, which he hated, but he
turned it up anyway, simply to drown out Leon. He heard Leon say something like
"duck my rucking block," and the Jeep took off.
Scott didn't
know why Leon was so upset. After all, this was just business, wasn't it?
And it was a
good business, at that. He now just had to get out of the city, and collect his
five million.
But I'm
gonna need something a little faster than this if I am going to get through
those roads before dawn.
He put the car
in gear and looked around. Honda Accord...Nissan Pathfinder...Jeep
Cherokee...Audi Steppenwolf...hey! All right!
He smiled as he
saw the Audi sports-utility-vehicle down the street. If he remembered
correctly, the Audi was fast, had four-wheel drive, and was nice and cozy
inside.
He got out of
the Suburban. He chuckled. Things were going so great. He suddenly realized
that he shouldn't leave any evidence of him being here...
Scott walked
over to the gas cap. He wedged an M-61 fragmentation grenade that Leon had
given him after the vaccine between the gas cap and the car. He yanked the pin
on it, then calmly strolled down the street, walking towards the Audi.
He kicked in
the window. An alarm blared, but he popped the hood and yanked a computer chip
the size of his finger out. The alarm stopped blaring. Scott got inside the car
and crossed the two green wires under the dash, then nearly mutilated the
steering column trying to get the steering lock off.
When he did, he
put the car in gear and took off, spinning his tires in the process. He laughed
giddily. Five million was worth being immune from everything. He could leave
the...
He slammed on
the brakes. He leaned out the window, and then aimed his Saiga at the frag
grenade. He fired, violently jolting it loose. The Suburban flew five feet in
the air and found itself on the other side of the street, hardly more than
crumpled metal.
...bastard Leon
in the city. He didn't care who found out, he could buy them off easily.
Ten minutes
later, he was at the city exit. He scratched the back of his neck. He knew he
shouldn't do that at a hundred twenty miles per hour, but something itched back
there.
He turned
around. There was nothing. How strange. He craned his neck and looked in the
cargo area. From what he could see, the car was empty. That was strange.
He looked
forwards again, just in time to sideswipe a guardrail at 130 miles per hour. He
was thrown sideways by the impact, then he over steered, sending the car into a
360 degrees spin. It sideswiped the side of the mountain he was next to, still
over 90 miles per hour, and then met the guardrail head-on.
During the
whole crash, Scott was so startled he hadn't thought to take his foot off the
gas. The 5,000 pound sports-utility-vehicle went straight through it. He then
proceeded to travel down a steep embankment. He was knocked unconscious, so he
didn't feel the car flip and roll all the way down the massive hill.
-----------------------------------------------------
Leon slowed to
a stop when he saw some skid marks. He got out. He saw what would have been an
impressive car crash for an action movie.
He walked to
the gaping hole that was the guardrail. He looked over the edge. He saw a
crumpled black SUV, one broken headlight still working, belly up in the
treetops of the forest that bordered the town.
He smirked. And
I didn't even have to do anything. He reached into his pocket and retrieved
a radio. Leon set it to a different frequency, and then depressed the button.
"Kennedy
to Base. Kennedy to Base, come in, Base." He let go of the button.
"Kennedy,
this is Base. Redfield wants to know how you're doing out there, over,"
came the reply.
"Tell him
that the mission is accomplished. Durmin drove off a cliff. He's dead."
"Copy
that. Helicopter is en route now," came the reply, and the radio clicked
off.
He smiled
inwardly. BioRout normally pays more than Umbrella, but Umbrella pays more
for me.
He chuckled to
himself. He then got back into his Jeep, and started to drive to the area where
he would be picked up by Umbrella.
The scientist
didn't see the man with the knife come up from behind. The "hitman"
slowly walked up and before the scientist could even stir, the knife was
plunged into his temple. The hitman yanked out his knife and discarded the body
on the floor.
He cleaned his
knife off on the scientist's lab coat and he re-sheathed his knife. He dusted
his hands off and then his shoulders. Checking over his shoulder he cautiously
looked around. Then he sat down at the computer and began downloading the
information on the HAYLAR to his disk.
Man, my
bosses can sure come up with some nasty shit thought the man.
A little beep
went off and he took the disk out of the hard drive. He put it into one of his
pockets and ran a hand through his blonde hair.
He stood up and
walked over to some filing cabinets. With little strength he busted open a
cabinet and began searching through the files.
Good thing
Umbrella's security didn't have the sense to change anything sense I've been
away
the man thought with a smile on his face.
He continued
his search and cursed under his breath as he threw the cabinet to the floor.
Once again his gaze went back over to the computer.
They
wouldn't be that stupid...Wait, I'm talking about Umbrella here.
He sat down in
the seat and began searching numerous files. It boggled the mind that someone
would send in something like the Tyrant into the same town that yourself is in.
So unless the labs could sustain a nuke, they fucked themselves.
Then again,
what if it wasn't their intention to survive. This could be a suicide
mission... and knowing Umbrella, ah fuck!
Quickening his
pace, he looked at the numerous monitors, watching and observing the HAYLAR. It
was laid out flat on the ground. He knew it would be back up, but how soon? He
could only hope he had enough time to get the info and get the hell out of
there before it awoke.
"Ha! At
least they had enough sense to change the damn passwords!" he laughed.
In a moment of
minutes he had gotten past the security codes. His eyes scanned the files,
running over the numerous crap.
"History...financial
status," he looked at that one for the hell of it, "HAHAHAHA!"
he bursted out laughing at it. Umbrella was nearly $5 million in debt. He went
back to his work, "Here we go, virus research."
He got into
this one no problem and quickly began downloading the information onto a
separate desk. He figured he could get an extra $9 million if he gave his boss
this. HCF would kill to have this information and know he held it in his grasp.
He noticed a
security camera in the corner of the room taping him. Slowly he took off his
sunglasses and smiled into the camera. His abnormally colored eyes shined into
the lens. His jacket had his name and rank sewn on it. He stretched it out for
the camera so it could make it out. The heads at Umbrella wouldn't need to see
it, they knew his face when they'd see him. How could anyone forget him?
He stopped
posing and put his shades back on. The computer beeped again and he took the
other disk and put it into a separate pocket. He stood up again and faced the
camera. Calmly he bowed and stood up, giving the camera the finger.
"Umbrella,
fuck you, fuck you, and fuck you."
With that
sentiment he turned around and walked out of the lab.
==========================================
Leon had stopped looking over the carnage and had headed back to his jeep. He
hopped over the door and started it again. Before he could take off the radio
came on.
*Bzzt*
"Redfield to Kennedy, Redfield to Kennedy, come in Kennedy."
Leon sighed and
picked up the radio, "This is Leon, over."
"Listen
Leon, have you finished your assignment?"
"Yeah,
what now?" Leon asked with annoyance.
"Well, we
have a situation."
"What kind
of situation?" Leon almost wished he didn't ask.
"We've got
a code: 666 on our hands. It's at the lab under the city you're in."
Shit!, but Leon didn't say
that, "Are you serious?! How the hell did he get here?! Never mind, I'll
still need a weapons drop off, I've got no ammo."
"...All
right. Head to the JPX-G3443 sector for weapons pickup. Redfield out."
This was
getting to be a bit constraining on Leon. Although, he knew if he played his
cards right, he could still get the $5.5 million for stopping the creature from
BioRout. He could then go back to Umbrella and pick up his $9.5 million from
Umbrella for knocking off Scott, a BioRout agent. Umbrella paid big money for
knocking off people in other organizations; at least if you knocked off an
important agent and Scott was BioRout's best.
Umbrella knew
what he was doing, that's why they were paying him a shit-load of money. He had
access to Umbrella computers now and they couldn't afford to lose another
agent. In any case, Leon sped down the street in his jeep, loudly cursing.
"OF ALL
THE THINGS I DIDN'T NEED..." he screamed.
"Wesker."
