Chapter 14

Claire was worried about Leon, she had a bad feeling that something was wrong and that she needed to find him quickly, Chris walked beside his sister, he knew she was worried and didn't want anything to be wrong with Leon either, but they had been separated

"Hey you ok"

Chris looked at his sister, she didn't need to have been brought into this but now she was, Claire looked up at Chris, he could see the worry in her eyes

"I'm worried about him Chris, I have a bad feeling about it".

Chris had the same worry as Claire did, he was worried about everyone, he put his hand on Claire's shoulder and squeezed it,

"Leon can hold his own, if they came across trouble he can handle it, he knows when to fight and when to run, he'll be fine I know he will"

Claire smiled Chris always reassured her when things got bad, even when their parents died, he was there telling her things would be fine, he held his own pain inside, never flinching, Claire wondered how he did it sometimes. Chris tilted his head slightly, he heard voices coming from dow the corridor, Chris held his hand up motioning for the group to stop, he signaled for Jill to go right and Claire to go left, Alex stood at Chris side, ready for anything.....she was worried about Lee,

please let him be ok, dont let anything happen to him, let me find him so we can get outta here and be together.

Alex turned her attention to the situation at hand, she knew she had to leave her worries until later, god knoew what Umbrella would throw their way next, and Alex knew she had to stay focused or she could be killed at any time and so could the others. Chris raised his gun as the figures stepped into view, Chris recognised the build straight away

"Barry, you guys ok"

Barry and Rebecca walked over to the others, Chris looked up at Barry,

"what the hell happened, the floor caved in and then we are all separated, are Lee and Leon with you 'cos they are the only two missing now"

Barry shook his head, Rebecca said

"we were hoping they would be with you....what do we do, go to the lab and see if they're there".

Chris nodded and looked at the others with recognition and they proceeded to the lab.

On the way they met a few zombies but there heads were blown off. Once there they searched for Lee and Leon but they were no where to be found, on a security monitor Claire had managed to spot Leon and Lee they were walking out into a main tunnel. Claire alerted the others, Alex said

"we have to go and find them, if Robert gets to them theres no telling what he'll do to them"

Chris nodded in agreement, he knew what Umbrella could do and he wasn't prepared to have anyone else die while he was leading a mission. Alex ran ahead of the others, she was stopped by Chris

"hey calm down, you can't go running off trying to do this on your own, if Robert gets you and Lee then everything is over, he's won and then Umbrella get what they want"

Alex looked up at Chris, she hated to admit it but he was right, if Robert got her and Lee, everything Chris and his team had done would be for nothing, Chris put his hand on her shoulder and said

"look I know your worried about your brother but we have to stay focused.....we'll get him back....ok?"

Alex nodded and turned to the others, Claire had a right to be worried aswell, Leon was out there, no-one knew what Robert would do if he got his hands on any of the team, the reality was that they didn't want to think what he would do, they had seen what Umbrella people do to their own people, the thought of what they would do the enemy didn't bear thinking about.

Leon and Lee had been walking around for what seemed like hours, Lee was getting tired and annoyed that they hadn't found the others yet, Leon was getting worried tht something might have happened to the others. Leon looked around, nothing to be heard or seen in any direction, Leon turned to Lee, he was beginning to look tired

"we'll find your sister soon, don't worry she is not in any danger if she's with Chris".

Lee looked at Leon, a gleam appearing in his eye

"it's not Alex I'm worried about.......It's you"

Leon looked at Lee confused he said

"what are you talking about?"

Lee punched Leon, the strength he had knocking Leon into the wall, Leon was unconsious, Lee walked over to him and lifted him up and walked off in the direction of the lab.

Robert's face lit up when Lee walked into the lab carrying one of the terrorists who had been trying to destroy his lab, Lee looked at his Father and smiled

"he was so trusting he thought I was on his side, Father you should know that Alex follows them, she believes you are the one trying to hurt her, she wants to hurt you, they are filling her head with nonsense, we have to do something to stop her"

Robert looked at an unconcious Leon and smiled, thoughts of torture methods running through his mind, the Bosses would be very pleased with this. Lee looked at Leon, now they would pay, and when Alex was back on the right side they would be together, she would be with her family, their strength and souls joined, together they would be unstoppable.

Claire could not stop thinking about Leon, her mind coming up with all sorts of things that could have happened to him, Claire put her mind back on to the situation at hand. Leon could take care of himself, he wouldnt want her worrying about her and taking her mind of the job. Clarie slilently laughed

yeah right job, this is a job now.

Her thoughts were disrupted by Chris, he had told the team to stop, Alex said

"what is it?"

Alex had a bad feeling, something was wrong, she couldn't put her finger on it but somehow she knew it involved Lee, Chris had obviously felt it too, he told the team to move faster.......as they approached the Lab they got their guns ready, each of them waiting, hoping that everything was going to go the way they planned. Alex stood next to Chris and Jill, she was ready for anything, or so she thought. There was no sound coming from the Lab, an eerie silence that was almost deafening, Barry kicked the door of the Lab open, they ran in guns trained, eyes and ears open for anything that might try to attack them. Instead what they found were the unconcious bodies of Leon and Lee, Claire ran to Leon and knelt beside him.

Alex ran to Lee. "Leon, Leon wake up, pleasee wake up"

Claire pleaded with Leon, slowly he opened his eyes, he saw Claires face and smiled, Alex knelt next to Lee, she carefully turned him over to face her.

"Lee....Lee wake up, come on Lee wake up".

Chris stood next to Alex, suddenly and without warning Lee turned and threw Chris into the table next to Jill, Jill grabbed Chris and helped him up.

Alex had no idea what was going on, Lee got p and grabed her by the throat, ALex put her hand over Lees, she could not get him to let go. Chris and the others held up their guns, Alex managed to speak, her voice raspy

"no...don't shoot, please".

Chris and the others held off, Alex looked down at Lee, her brother had become something that Umbrella had created, something that wanted to kill her and her friends

"Lee......let me go, this is not you, it's me your sister Alex".

Lee loooked up at Alex, his sisters experssion pleading, her voice hoarse from his strength.

"Don't listen to her Lee......she wants to stop us, don't kill her, we still need her"

everyone truned round and looked at who had just came in, it was Robert, he stood at the door of the lab, a smile spread across his face. A troop of Umbrella soldiers ran in behind him and surrounded Chris and the others, Chris growled at Robert, Robert smiled

"I think i might be a good idea for you to put your guns down, these men don't ask twice"

Chris threw his gun down,

"your gonna pay for this you son-of-a-bitch"

Chris motioned for the others to do the same, Robert turned and looked at Lee, he still had Alex by the throat, Robert said

"Lee we have to get to work now, put her down"

Lee threw Alex across the room into the wall, she fell to the floor, she was unconcious, Jill ran over and knelt beside her, the others joined her, Alex wasn't moving. Lee walked over and picked Alex up, he carried her over to a table, he laid her down, Robert was putting on his Lab coat, his assistant preparing the equipment he needed. The soldiers took Chris and the others to a cell, Chris was silently cursing himself, he had really done it now

yeah nice one Chris, lose the thing you were trying to save, make possibly the worse thing that Umbrella possesed a reality and get caught at the same time.

"stop it"

Chris turned and saw Jill standing in front of him

"what?"

"you've got that look that says this is all your fault, it's not you didn't do any of this, we weren't to know that Lee had been turned, we can do this, we'll get Alex and then we will get out of here".

Chris was not convinced he looked at the team and started making a plan.
