Resident Evil Judgment Day

Six, ain't no love for the rich Method Man- Judgment Day

Chapter Five- Backlash.

Umbrella HQ Paris, France.

Mr. Umbrella sat in his chair in quite a pleasant mood. Genoas' team had been defeated and the lab safe. For once, things were going his way. "I knew you men would do me proud. Now that Genoas' petty attack has failed, no doubt they will think twice before moving against us. You all did a good job."

"Thank you." Mike said. He, Hunk, and Nicholai stood in front of Mr. Umbrella's desk. O'Riley stood off to the side, leaning against the wall. Mike motioned to O'Riley. "I do say that we couldn't have done it with out O'Riley's bio-weapons."

Mr. Umbrella nodded. "From what I hear, your new weapons handled themselves quite well. Too bad the robots were destroyed."

"In my opinion, those creatures are nothing compared to my Tyrant." O'Riley said.

"Then it will be a magnificent day when your Tyrant is ready for battle." Mr. Umbrella placed his hands behind his head and leaned back in his chair. "Soon no one will be able to stand in our way. Genoas will be crushed and Black Ops will be defeated. I can safely say that we are now in complete control of this little situation. No matter what either of our enemies do we shall be one step ahead. Nothing can stop us from fulfilling what the founding families of this company envisioned."

"Speaking of which." Hunk said. "What are we going to do now sir?"

"Genoas has been dealt a major blow." Mr. Umbrella said. "They won't dare make another move for awhile. I believe we should now concentrate on eliminating the Black Ops team. Burns, I want you to get a hold of those contacts of yours and find out where those pests are."

Mike chuckled. "I have something better. I have a spy in the team. In fact, that spy has been so gracious as to inform me that those fools plan on destroying another one of our facilities. I also know who there leader is."

"Who is it?" Mr. Umbrella asked.

"Thomas Connors." Mike replied.

"Why does that name sound familiar?" Mr. Umbrella asked.

"Because we, or more precisely I, had to deal with him a long time ago." Mike said. "Thought I fixed that little problem, but now Connors wants another chance."

"So what's the place and when are they going to attack?" Nicholai asked.

"Northern Minnesota." Mike said. "Within the next 24 hours. What's more, the whole team will be there. One shot and one of our problems is finished."

Mr. Umbrella lit a cigar. "Good. Burns, get a team over to that base and set up a trap. Take Hunk and Nicholai with you. O'Riley, I want you to sent along some bio-weapons to back the team up. I want no mistakes this time, do I make myself clear."

"Crystal, Sir." Mike replied. The group left the office and started down the hall.

"Hey Mike." Hunk said. "That spy you have in that Black Ops group, it isn't Ada is it?"

"That's one secret I plan on keeping for myself." Mike replied. "Listen, I don't care who you guys take out, just leave Connors and the Redfields to me."

"Why do you want to kill them so badly?" Nicholai asked.

"A mistake I made a long time ago that I intend to correct." Mike said.


Genoas Corp. HQ. Tokyo Japan.

"They what?" Philips asked.

"They knew we were coming." Wesker said. "They had a trap laid for us."

Philips still couldn't believe what he had heard. As soon as Wesker's team had gotten back they had reported to his office and gave their report. "How the hell did they know you were coming?"

"I don't know." Wesker said. "The only people who had any idea what was going on were my team, you, and Dr. Grant. It can't be anyone from my team. We were all together from the time we left this office to the time we got on that plane. That leaves Dr. Grant."

"It can't be Grant." Philips said. "She has worked for me for the past several months. I trust her completely."

"Maybe someone bugged this office." Tim said. "Or maybe someone was listening outside the door."

Wesker shook his head. "No, I think Grant may be our spy. I suggest that we at least leave her out of any more meetings and search her office. If she is the spy, then we have a lot more at stake than Umbrella knowing what we're doing."

"I see your concern." Philips said. "If you're right our T-Veronica research may be in jeopardy. Very well. Tim, Stacy, go have a talk with Dr. Grant. Wesker, I want you to prepare your official report and have it done within the hour. Things had gotten serious and I don't want any screw ups."

Outside the door Brigit listened intensely. "They know." She muttered. She quickly left for her office and disappeared around a corner just as Wesker's team emerged.

"Eliza, can you help me with my report?" Wesker asked.

"Sure." Eliza replied. She and Wesker made their way to Wesker's office. As soon as they entered, Wesker shut the door and locked it. "Why did you do that?" Eliza asked.

Wesker approached Eliza and held her shoulders. "Do you trust me?"

Eliza was taken back by the question. "Why are you asking me this? You know I trust you. I wouldn't have left Umbrella with you if I didn't."

"I need to know, do you trust me completely?" Wesker asked, his tone serious.

"Yes." Eliza replied.

Wesker walked over to his desk and sat down. "I was hoping that I didn't have to involve you, but I see now with all that's happened that I have no choice."

"What are you talking about?" Eliza asked.

Wesker closed his eyes. "I'm a spy."

Eliza stood in shock. "You were the one that told Umbrella we were coming."

"That wasn't me." Wesker said. "My job was only to provide information. It was never my intention to interferer with any operation I was involved in. People only suspect you're a spy when things like this happen."

"Are you spying for Umbrella or someone else?" Eliza asked. "And would you have even told me?"

"Who I'm working for is none of your concern." Wesker replied. "All you have to know is that when the time for me to leave comes, I want you to come with me. If I leave without you Philips will probably treat you as a spy and kill you. Also, you cannot tell anyone about this. I asked if you trust me. Now I'm asking you if I can trust you to keep this a secret."

Eliza stared at the floor, not knowing what to say. She looked up at Wesker. "Yes, I will."

"Good." Wesker turned on his laptop. "Then let's get this report done. We don't want to keep Philips waiting."

Brigit glared at Tim and Stacy. "How dare you call me a spy? I have the right mind to slap that accusing look right off your faces."

Stacy crossed her arms and continued to give Brigit a stern look. "You were the only other person who knew of our plan and had time to tell Umbrella. That makes you a good suspect."

"Then what about Wesker, or Eliza?" Brigit said in defense. "Those two could be double-crossing this company as we speak. Do you even know where they are now?"

"In Wesker's office." Stacy replied.

"Are you sure?" Brigit asked. "How do you know he didn't send that message?"

"Because we were all together." Tim said. "Wesker never left our sight. And you know what, I would expect a spy to try and blame someone else when questioned. You seem to be doing just that."

"If you have no evidence I suggest you leave now." Brigit said.

Stacy walked to the door. "Just remember this. We will be watching you closely. For your sake, you better not try anything stupid."

Brigit waited until her accusers left before going to her computer. She quickly sent another coded message that read the following.

'I fear that my cover is compensated. Philips and his men suspect who I am. By the time you read this I shall be gone with Kennings and the research. This is the last message you will receive from me. Brigit out.'

Brigit sent the E-mail and picked up her phone.

Kennings finished packing up everything he needed. He looked towards the door to see Brigit enter his office. "It's about time. I was starting to suspect that you were caught or detained."

"Do you have everything we need?" Brigit asked quickly.

Kennings nodded. "All the research and test results on the T-Veronica virus. I hope what you're doing works."

Brigit smiled at Kennings. "Don't worry. In the end what we do will be worth it. All we have to do is stick to my plan and everything will work out fine. Now let's go before the guards catch us." With that, Brigit and Kennings left the office.


Black Ops 6 base. Northern Washington.

The team gathered in the operations room, decked in black sweat clothes and black wool winter caps. Connors looked over the map one last time. OK, listen up. Here's the plan. The facility we're attacking is located in Minnesota near Bemidji. We enter through the front door and take out the security guards. After that, we use the computers at the front desk to cut off security. We then head to the main storage room and set the charges."

"Why don't we do what we did last time a set the bomb in the generator room?" Claire asked.

"Because this lab produces chemicals that are used to make Umbrella's little bugs." Scott replied. "And those chemicals happen to be very volatile. That means one little blast and the whole place goes up in a fireball, or at least the major parts."

"These will be the weapon assignments." Connors said. "We go with the same weapons as last time. Marcus, you get a MP5. Heather and Sam get a pair of Uzis each. Barry gets a Desert Eagle and Ark gets two .45s. Ada gets a Glock. Is everything clear?"

"Shouldn't Ada get something a bit stronger?" Leon asked.

Connors shook his head. "That's all she's getting. We still have our doubts about her."

Ada looked at the floor and fought back tears. "I'll be fine."

Leon gave the group a mean look and walked over to Ada. "Don't worry, I'll cover you."

"Thanks." Ada replied softly.

"If we're set, meet out by the copters in ten minutes." Connors said. The team began to ready their weapons. Chris walked over to Connors. "What is it Chris?"

"Why did you wait until now to tell us about the mission?" Chris asked. "And why didn't you tell us this yesterday?"

"My own personal reasons." Connors replied. "I couldn't risk having what happened to Genoas' team happen to us."

"You're worried that Ada's a spy." Chris said.

Connors nodded. "If she is, she knew that we were attacking an Umbrella plant, but she didn't know which one."

Chris started to walk away from Connors. "Maybe you should consider that someone else could be a spy." We walked into the rec. room where Ada and Leon were looking out the window. "Ada, I have to ask you something."

Ada turned to Chris. "What do you want to know?"

Chris could tell Ada had been crying. He could see the red streaks on her face. "I need to know how long you and the others were in this country before you found our last base."

"You don't have to answer him." Leon said.

"No, I think I should tell him." Ada said. "We arrived at night and the next morning was when we learned where your base was."

"One night?" Chris asked. "You were only there for a night and you found out where we were?"

Ada nodded. "Thing was, we were told where you were by Mike Burns."

"Who's Mike Burns?" Jill asked, walking into the room.

"The one in charge of handling you guys and Genoas' team." Ada replied. "I don't know much about him except he gives me the creeps. He called us and told us where to attack."

Chris smiled. "Thanks Ada. By the way, I don't think you're the spy."

Ada smiled. "Thanks. You don't know how much that means to me."

Chris walked back to the operations room. Jill grabbed his arm and pulled him over to the stairs. "What was that all about? And why are you being so paranoid?"

"I just think that the way things are going that something's up." Chris replied. "With all this secrecy I just have this bad feeling that things are going to get worse."

"And what about Ada?" Jill asked. "Why did you ask her that? Umbrella's team was in this country for one day, so what?"

"It was one night." Chris said. "Plus this Burns guy told them where we were. How did he know that?"

Jill gave Chris a blank look. "You're asking me?"

Chris growled in frustration. "Look, I think that someone here is not who they appear to be. Any one of us could be a spy. I also think that whoever the spy is wants us to suspect Ada."

"So you're accusing me?" Jill asked.

"No, my suspicion is that it's one of Connors' people." Chris said. "I don't know who, but I have this feeling that we'll find out soon enough."

"Well, if I was you, I'd keep those suspicions to yourself." Jill said. "Come on, I think it's time to leave." Jill left for the operations room. Chris took a deep breath and followed.

"Move it." Marcus said. He watched as the team boarded the helicopters. He turned to Connors. "Everyone's here. We're set to lift off."

"Good." Connors replied. "Let's do this as quickly as possible." He and Marcus boarded the copter. In a few minutes both helicopters were airborne and heading for their destination.


Umbrella facility. Upstate Minnesota.

The team made their way quickly through the dark to the front of the building. Barry made his way up to Connors. "Why aren't we going in the back way? Why are we going through the front door period?"

"They won't suspect a frontal assault." Connors replied. "And the only other entrance is through the loading docks, and that entrance has several surveillance cameras. Don't worry, this will be easy."

"I don't like this." Carlos said. "The minute we go through the door guards will be all over us."

Marcus chuckled. "I doubt that. The hall to the lobby is bottleneck. We'll be able to hold off the guards without any problems."

The team stopped in front of the double glass doors. They readied their weapons and barged in. However, something was very wrong. "Where the hell is everybody?" Scott said. The lobby was empty. The only light came from the monitor at the front desk. Ark ran over to the desk while Carlos found the light switch and turned on the lights.

"Hey Tom," Ark said, looking at the monitor, "the security system's shut off. Maybe this place is closed today."

"Today's Wednesday." Connors said. "This facility should be full of people."

"Must be a holiday or something." Leon said.

"Regardless, we better finish the mission and get out of here." Connors said. The team made their way to the main storage room. As they entered, they were surprised to see charges already set on the tanks. "What the hell is going on?" Connors asked.

"Isn't it obvious?" Burns' voice said, echoing throughout the room. "We did the work for you. I think you would be grateful."

"Burns." Ada said.

"Why if it isn't Ada." Mike said. "Or is it some other name now? I really can't be sure, since you keep changing your whole identity. And if it isn't the Redfields? I've heard a lot of things about you. You two have been quite a pain in the ass for Umbrella."

"I should be honored that my sister and I are so famous." Chris said.

Mike laughed. "Just the kind of attitude I would expect from you. To be honest, all of you have caused this company a lot of trouble. Too bad this is where your lives end." Soon a set of four Hunters emerged from behind the tanks. "Oh, and you only have fifteen minutes before the bombs go off. Good luck."

"We can't fight these things here." Connors said. "We may hit the tanks."

"I can take them." Chris said. He drew his Beretta aimed at the Hunters. "I didn't win all those marksmanship trophies for nothing." He fired off a shot at each Hunter, hitting each one between the eyes.

Connors patted Chris on the shoulder. "Nice shooting." He turned to the others. "Let's get the hell out of here."

Mike watched the team leave the storage room. "I say, now I know why Chris is considered a major threat." He turned to Hunk and Nicholai. "Did you release all of the B.O.W.s?"

"Yes." Nicholai replied. "We should go now if we hope to get out before the building explodes."

"You two get topside and start the helicopter." Burns said. "I think I'll wait in the lobby for our friends, if they survive. There's something I need to get off my chest." Mike left the room, leaving Hunk and Nicholai behind.

"What the hell is he going to do?" Nicholai asked.

"Who cares?" Hunk said. "Let's get up to the roof and start up the copter. I don't feel like being around when this place goes up."

The team made their way down the hall towards the lobby. "How did Umbrella know we were coming?" Connors said. I was so careful about this mission. They had to have known in advance."

"Who knew about this mission?" Barry asked.

"My team knew we were going to hit some Umbrella facility, but only I knew which one." Connors said.

"I suggest we talk about this after we get out." Jill said, looking at her watch. "We only have twelve minutes left."

Suddenly two Hunters dropped from the ceiling and landed in front of the team. "Great." Scott said. "First bombs, now walking lizards."

"Don't look now, but we have some more company." Ark said, staring at three Gamma Hunters approaching from behind.

Rebecca raised her grenade launcher. "I'll take care of these guys." She fired a round at the creatures, getting the one in the middle. The other two began running at the group.

"I think they're pissed." Ark said. He drew is .45s and began shooting at one of the Hunters. Heather joined in with her Uzis. Leon and Ada began shooting at the other Hunter. The Hunter Ark and Heather were shooting fell dead, but the other got within striking distance of Leon. It reared back its claw and opened its mouth to shriek.

"DOWN!" Scott yelled. Leon ducked as Scott stuck the barrel of his shotgun in the creature's mouth and pulled the trigger. The back of the Hunter's head exploded. "Chew on that bitch." Scott growled.

"Thanks." Leon said, looking at the creature.

Meanwhile, the other Hunters were rushing the group. "We don't have time for this." Connors said, firing his M16 at the Hunters. Jill, Carlo, and Marcus joined in and quickly cut down the monsters. "Come on, we have to go." The team continued running for the entrance.

As Claire rounded a corner, she slipped and fell. Chris saw his sister go down and ran back to her. "You OK?" He asked, pulling her to her feet.

"Yeah." Claire replied. By then the others had passed by. "We better haul it before we get left behind."

Chris nodded and started to run. He looked back to his sister to see Claire slightly limping on her right leg. "Damn, you are hurt. Let me help you." He had Claire put her right arm around his neck and the siblings quickly made their way down the hall. "We're almost there." Chris said. "A few more feet and we'll be out of here." He looked at his watch. "Shit, eight minutes. This is gonna be close."

The team broke out the door and headed for the copter. Jill noticed that Chris and Claire were missing. "Whoa, we have to wait for Chris and his sister." Jill said.

Connors looked at his watch. "Everyone, get to the copter. Jill and I are going back for the Redfields. If we're not back in four minutes lift off and get out of here." Connors and Jill started back to the building just as Chris and Claire came into view.

Chris saw Jill and Connors running towards the building. "We're almost there."

"Well, well, isn't this a pitiful site?" Chris turned to see Mike emerge from a supply closet. "Looks like Claire has gone and hurt herself."

Chris drew his Beretta. "You must be Burns." Chris growled.

Mike chuckled. "Do you think you can shoot me and support your sister at the same time?" He looked Chris and Claire over. "Like father like son. Or should I say mother. You two sure look like your parents, and from what I can see, act like them too."

"What are you taking about?" Claire asked. "What do you mean we're just like our parents? How do you know about them?"

"I know that they died rather tragically." Mike said. "Wasn't it a car crash? I seem to have a hard time with old news."

Chris glared at Mike. "Shut the hell up."

"How temperamental." Mike replied. "I see you have your parents temper too. You know, you should really learn to control it."

"BURNS!" Connors roared, running into the lobby with his M16 aimed at Mike's head.

"Guess it's time to leave." Mike ran to the elevator and hit the call button. The doors opened and Mike rushed in. The doors closed just as Connors opened fire.

Jill ran up to Chris and Claire. "What happened?"

"I think I twisted my ankle." Claire said.

"Let's go." Connors said. "We have less than five minutes." Jill helped Chris carry Claire out of the building as Connors covered them. One of the copters landed in front of the building. Chris and Jill helped Claire into the copter and jumped in themselves, followed by Connors. "Let's go now."

Barry nodded. "The others are on their way home. We decided to swing around and pick you guys up." Barry lifted the copter off the ground and pulled away from the facility.

Nicholai watched the helicopter leave. He heard the elevator open and turned to see Mike rush towards the copter. Mike dove in and Nicholai lifted off. "Should we follow them?"

Mike shook his head. "No, let them feel safe. It won't really matter. Soon those fools will be dead."

Hunk looked out the window as the middle of the facility exploded, sending flames out of all the windows. "Why are we being so easy on them? We should hunt them down and kill all of them."

"A little trigger happy?" Mike asked.

"No. I just want to pay them back for kicking my ass twice." Hunk said. "And I especially want to personally kill that bitch Ada."

Mike laughed. "I don't think you should be worried about Ada. I have a feeling that she won't make it through the night."

"How can you be so sure?" Nicholai asked.

"Because this was part of my plan." Mike said. "I knew well in advance that Ada would turn. I could tell something had happened to her in Raccoon City. If all goes well, not only will Ada not be a problem but my spy's identity will be secured."

Nicholai chuckled. "You are very cunning, aren't you?"

"I know." Mike replied. "And soon both Connors' little pack and Genoas will find out how much they have been played."


Black Ops 6 base. Northern Washington.

Rebecca looked over Claire's ankle. "You'll live. Just try to stay off your feet for a while. It should be fine by tomorrow."

"That's a relief." Claire said. She turned to Connors. "So that was Burns. You seem to know him. What's your story?"

"And how did he know about our parents?" Chris added. "How did he know they died in a car accident?"

"He knew because he's Umbrella's professional hit man." Connors said. "He probably knows what grades Claire got in college and what brand cigarettes you smoked. I wouldn't be surprised that he knows everything about everyone in this team. That's what the assassins in the CIA do. They learn everything about their target."

"Then what's your connection to that guy?" Claire asked. "You tried to blow his head off."

Connors stared off. "I dealt with him a long time ago."

"I know you two have questions that Burns guy, but we have more serious things to deal with." Barry said. "Like how Umbrella knew we were coming? They had to have known in advance. There's no way they could have set up that trap in such a short period of time."

Leon noticed several of the people looking at Ada. "It couldn't have been Ada. She found out when the rest of us did."

"I think you're wrong." Marcus said. "She knew well in advance." He, Scott, and Samantha walked in from the rec. room. Marcus threw down a blue folder on the table. "In fact, I think she knew everything."

Connors recognized the folder. "Those are my personal papers. All my plans are in there. I couldn't find them last night. Where did you find them?"

"In Ada's room under her bed." Samantha said.

"And we found this in her drawer." Scott said, pulling a small radio transmitter from his pocket. "I'd recognize this anywhere. It's a powerful radio that links to a satellite. Made specifically for covert operations."

Everyone turned to Ada, who had a shocked look one her face. "I didn't have that on me."

"That's because it's one of ours." Scott replied. "When I was down in the armory I noticed that one was missing. I was wondering where it went. Now I know."

Ada shook her head. "I don't know how those things got into my room. I didn't even know where those things were. You have to believe me."

"I believe what I see." Barry said, drawing his magnum. "And from what I see, you're guilty as hell."

Carlos aimed his rifle at Ada. "I say we shot her right here." The other except for Chris, Connors, Ark, and Heather began to follow, aimed at Ada.

Leon drew his gun. "You shoot her you'll have to go through me first."

"Get out of the way." Jill said.

"Yeah." Scott said. "Unless you want to die too."

Chris turned to Connors. "Tom, stop this now."

Connors looked at the scene that was unfolding before him. "LOWER YOUR WEAPONS, ALL OF YOU! WE'RE NOT KILLING ANYBODY!" Connors watched as the team holstered their guns. "We're not a bunch of murderers. Lock Ada up in one of the cells downstairs. We'll deal with her when the time comes. We're all stressed out from what happened, but that's no reason to kill anyone."

Ark stepped forward. "I'll lock her up." Ark took Ada by the arm and led her out of the room. "Don't worry, nothing's going to happen to you."

Leon watched Ada and Ark leave the room. He then turned to the rest of the group, a scowl on his face. "I can't believe you people. Those things could have been planted there by anyone of us. Just because of who she was you automatically assume she guilty."

"You mean who she is." Carlos said. "If you didn't have a hard-on for her, then maybe you would see what's going on."

Leon glared at Carlos. "Any one of us could have planted those things in her room. For all we know that person could have been you. Last time I checked, you used to be in Umbrella too."

"Don't be trying to pin the blame on me." Carlos growled. "Ada's guilty. We have all the proof we need."

"Then you're all a bunch of idiots." Leon said. He stormed off towards the stairs, almost knocking Ark over in the process.

"Leon." Ark said. He got no response and walked back into the operations room. "She's locked up. I think we should get her some blankets. It's already freezing down there."

"Let her freeze." Samantha said. "She deserves it."

"Do it." Connors said. "She won't be able to stand trial if she's dead."

"I guess we were right." Claire said. "There was a spy, right Chris?"

Chris stood in the corner working things out in his head. He looked at the group. "I don't think the spy is Ada. This is just too perfect. Something's not right about this."

"What's not right?" Barry asked. "We have the proof right here."

"Exactly." Chris replied. "Do you really think that if Ada was the spy that she would be this sloppy, especially when everyone is already suspecting her? If I were a spy I wouldn't have kept everything in my room. From what I've heard, she's supposed to be one of the best spies Umbrella has. I doubt that she would make this kind of mistake."

"It seems damn obvious that Ada's the spy." Jill said.

"Nothing is what it seems Jill." Chris said. "Remember how I had this bad feeling before we went to that mansion. Remember how paranoid you all said I was. Well I have the same feeling about this situation that I had in Raccoon. I knew something bad was going to happen, and I was right. Sad thing is you didn't believe me then and you don't believe me now." Chris walked out of the room and headed for the basement.

Ada sat on the mattress in her cold cell crying to herself. What had just happened played itself in her mind. "I can't believe this is happening to me. I didn't do anything. Now they all hate me."

"I don't hate you." Leon said, looking at Ada through the cell door. "I think I'm one of the only ones that think this is bullshit."

Ada got up and walked over to the door. "You have to believe me, I didn't do it. I never saw any of that stuff. I didn't even know Connors had those papers. Why won't anyone believe me?"

"They just need someone to blame." Leon said. "You're just an easy target because of what you did for Umbrella. If you ask me, what they found means nothing."

"But that doesn't matter." Ada replied. "The others wanted to kill me." Ada shivered both from the cold and the thought of being executed.

Leon saw Ada shiver. "Jesus, you're freezing." Leon took the key to the cell that was hanging on the wall and opened the cell. "I know I'm going to get hell for this, but I don't care." He wrapped his arms around Ada and held her close.

"What's going to happen to me?" Ada asked.

"I don't know." Leon said. "Hopefully we can straighten this out and prove that you didn't do it."

Ada closed her eyes rested her head on Leon's shoulder. She felt safer in Leon's arms. "Thank you for believing me Leon."

"No matter what anyone says, I'll always trust you." Leon said. "I love you."

Ada looked into Leon's eyes. "I love you too." Leon moved in and they started to softly kiss.

Chris walked into the room and saw Leon and Ada kissing. They heard him enter and turned to him. "You two want to be alone?"

"Why are you down here?" Leon asked, holding Ada tightly.

"Because between me, you, and Ark, Ada doesn't have that many friends." Chris replied. "I also wanted to tell Ada that I believe that she's innocent."

"Why?" Ada asked. "You saw what they had. I thought you would be the first to accuse me."

"Let's just say I have a feeling." Chris said. "Something about this doesn't fit. I need to know, if you were a spy how would you have done it?"

Ada thought for a minute. "First I would find out where Connors kept his files. I would read what I had to and then report to Umbrella. Either I would use one of those radios from the armory or make a phone call from a cell phone. I sure as hell wouldn't hide the stuff in my room, that would have been stupid."

Chris nodded. "I figured as much. I would have done the same thing. This was just too easy. Besides, I wonder why those guys went to your room as soon as we got here. It's like they almost knew."

Leon could see where this was going. "You're saying that those guys could have known Connors stuff in her room."

"Or they planted it there." Chris said.

"Better be careful of what you say, or you could be sharing a cell with her." Ark said, walking into the room with a heavy quilt.

Heather walked in behind him. "Why do you think it was one of them?"

Chris closed the door to the holding cells. "Something Ada told me. She said that Umbrella's little team got to the U.S. the night before we were attacked. That morning they got a call from Burns telling them where we were. Now two times Umbrella found us. It was possible that Umbrella followed us to the hideout in Rome, but to find us in Tennessee so quickly would be impossible unless there was an inside man telling Burns the location of our base. Now I have my suspicions that it has to be either Samantha or Marcus. Scott is out because he was the one that warned us and he was scared as hell. Samantha and Marcus were the only ones up that morning besides, Jill, Becky, Claire, and myself. Now Sam stayed in the house, but Marcus ran off to the helicopters. Also, those two were at the base alone while the rest of us were either taking the kids to Kathy's house or attacking the Umbrella lab, so that gave both of them opportunity."

"What about us?" Ark asked. "Why don't you suspect any of the others?"

"Because the rest of us Umbrella wants to kill." Chris replied. "I'm responsible for the destruction of three major Umbrella facilities, as is my sister. Jill, Barry, and Rebecca are responsible for the Spencer Mansion and Jill and Carlos Raccoon, as did Leon. You were responsible for one facility going up in flames. Plus Heather hasn't left your side the whole time I've been in this team. And from the reaction Tom had with Burns, he's off the hook."

"Then why go through all this with setting me up?" Ada asked. "If Sam or Marcus is the spy, then they did a good job at hiding."

Chris scratched his head. "I'm guessing that you happen to be the perfect person to take the fall. They convince us that you are the spy, and then no one will suspect them. Simple as that."

Leon was impressed with Chris' reasoning. "I didn't think you were so smart. From what I saw, you tend to react more than act."

Chris smiled. "A wise man once told me that one can hide his true intelligence if he acts like a fool. I'm not as dumb as I act."

"So what do we do?" Ada asked. "I don't think anyone will believe you. Besides, all this is based on speculation. You can't prove any of this."

Heather looked at the floor. "I hate to say this, but everything you said makes sense. Only thing is we're the only people who will probably believe you. And if we say anything, we may be accused as spies."

"I think we better lay low for now and see what happens." Leon said. "Maybe one of those two will make a mistake."

"They better make one soon." Ark said. "When we came down here they were talking about what to do to Ada. I heard everything from hanging to firing squad."

"Look, I'm going to stay down here and watch Ada." Leon said. "I don't want anyone to do anything to her."

"We'll stay too." Ark said. "It'll be better if there were three people down here."

Chris nodded. "I'll see you tomorrow morning. If no one goes upstairs, people might get suspicious." Chris left the cells and made his way through the basement. He stopped in the armory and took one of the Glocks. He hid the gun under his shirt and walked upstairs. Most of the team was assembled in the rec. room watching TV. Chris walked over to the stairs leading upstairs without look at his teammates, though he could feel them staring at him. He climbed the stairs and entered his room. Locking his door he cocked the Glock and set in one the nightstand next to him bed. Taking off his boots, he laid down on his bed. "Enjoy this victory, it'll be one of the last you have."


Genoas Corp. HQ. Tokyo Japan.

Wesker briskly walked to Philips' office. He had been eating lunch when he was called to an important meeting. He entered the office to see the others already there. "What's the matter?"

"You were right Wesker." Philips said. "There, I said it."

"Right about what?" Wesker asked.

"Right about that bitch Dr. Grant." Tim replied. "She and Dr. Kennings didn't come into work today. We sent some people over to both their apartments but no one was home."

Wesker smiled. "I guess next time I say something you'll all listen."

"Get off your God damn horse." Stacy said. "That's not the worse part."

Philips slammed his desk. "The research for the T-Veronica virus is missing. That could only mean that Grant convinced Kennings to help her steal the viral research for Umbrella. She was double-crossing me from the start."

Eliza spoke up. "Don't you have a backup copy of the research?"

Philips shook his head. "They took it all."

"That's just fucking great." Tim said. "Now they can make the virus and we can't."

"What are we going to do?" Wesker asked.

"It's true that Umbrella may have the research for the T-Veronica virus, but the game isn't over yet." Philips said. "Umbrella can't make the virus if they don't have the chemicals to do it. I recently learned that Umbrella has a large plant in Mexico that specializes in producing chemicals to make viruses. We hit that plant and we'll cripple Umbrella long enough to try and retrieve the research."

"When do we leave?" Wesker asked.

"You leave tonight." Philips said. "When you arrive, you will wait until noon the next day to attack. The reason is because the plant is going through a little check. Security will be low so it'll be easier to make it into the building. Don't fail me, this is too important to miss."

Wesker nodded. "Understood Sir. We'll blow that place sky high."


Black Ops 6 base. Northern Washington.

Chris and Leon stood next to the brook, which had frozen solid. All morning everyone ignored them, except Connors, who had tried to apologize for the team's actions. In the end, the two men had chosen to distance themselves from the others. Ark and Heather remained downstairs with Ada for fear that someone would try to hurt her. "When do you think they'll start talking to us again?" Leon asked.

"I don't know." Chris replied. "I don't know what's worse, knowing there's a spy running around here Scott-free or the fact that Jill and Claire are avoiding me like the plague."

"And least you don't have people cursing you from behind your back." Leon said.

Barry exited the building and approached the men. "Hey, Connors has called a meeting. He wants everyone there, including you two."

"Is it about Ada?" Leon asked.

"No." Barry replied. "Something more important. He won't say what, so get in here."

Reluctantly Chris and Leon walked into the base. They moved next to Ark and Heather, who were standing by themselves in the corner. Connors entered the room with a map in his hand. He set it down on the table. "Alright people, listen up. I just learned that a major Umbrella plant in Mexico is going through an inspection. What that means is that security will be light and it will be easier to get in. We destroy this plant and we'll deal Umbrella a major blow."

"Why?" Carlos asked.

"Because this plant makes chemicals that are used to make the T and G viruses, as well as B.O.W.s." Connors said. "The plant will have its inspection tomorrow. We go in and blow this place."

"How did you find this out?" Chris asked. "And why are we suddenly attacking this place?"

"Classified information." Connors replied. "From now on everything you will be told will be on a need to know basis. We leave tomorrow morning, so be ready. Hopefully this mission will go without a hitch."

Author's Comments: Is it me, or is Umbrella the only one that made out good in this chapter. They upset Black Ops, they might have the T-Veronica virus, and Burns' plan is working. Speaking of which, poor Ada sure got rung through the ringer. If no one trusted her before, they sure as hell aren't going to trust her now. Too bad she is innocent. But the fact remains, who is the spy? Chris seems to have a good idea, and if you think about it, it all makes sense. The only question is if he's right. And how about that strange coincidence that BOTH Genoas and Black Ops 6 are attacking the same exact facility at the very same time. This could get interesting. What the hell was Burns babbling about to Chris and Claire? How did he know so much, and why did Connors want him dead? That's another little riddle to be solved later. And Wesker's suspicions were correct, Brigit was the spy, but you already knew that. The major question is whom is she working for? You'll just have to find out.

In the next chapter is the proverbial major cliffhanger of the story. Lies, deceit, surprises, and lots of gratuitous language and violence. Pasts will be revealed, spies unmasked, and revelations will come to light that will rock the foundation of everything you thought you knew. The action heads south of the boarder in Judgment Day: Chapter 6- Revelations. Prepare yourself.
