Chapter 16

Chris and Barry had managed to form a plan, they had went through every detail they could think of,

"ok, when we shout the guard Claire you distract him and we'll attack"

Claire nodded in agreement

CRASH

everyone went to the cell door, they could hear the guards shouting and a lot of commotion. Alex was fighting the guards, she was kicking them into one another and punching them, when all the guards were down she looked for the keys to the cell, she found them.

CLICK

The cell door opened, Alex stood, Chris and the others stepped out of the cell, Jill looked at Chris and then at Alex

"are you ok"?

Alex nodded and said

"yeah, come on, I am going toget my brother if there is anything of his mind left, if you guys want to get out I'll understand....but I can't leave without trying to save Lee, he would do the same for me"

Chris smiled, she had the same determination as Claire

"we're not going anywhere, we leave together come on lets go".

At the Lab Robert had been making the final modifications to his plan, Lee was strapped to one of the lab tables. He looked scared as he had done when the blood had been taken, Robert and Jane worked around him

"what are you doing....where's Alex, what are you going to do to me, please don't hurt me...let me go please"

Jane looked at Lee sympathetically, but Robert said

"you know this must be done...think of all the lives that will be changed by us doing this, to not have to worry about anything anymore.....you know my darling we can do this. If we pull this off the bosses will have to give us our due, they will have to give us what we want".

"Yeah but you won't be around to enjoy it"

Robert and Jane turned round, Alex was standing with the rebels, she had helped them escaped

"guards.....guards"

Robert's voice was authoritive but shaky, he looked at Jane then at Alex

"the guards are having a little bit of a nap"

Alex looked at Lee, she could see he was scared, the blank look had gone away, he pleaded with her to help him,

"please Alex help me, I don't know what they are gonna do, please help me Alex".

Alex looked at Lee, she could not tell if Lee really needed help, a little time before he had thrown her into a wall, and now he was asking her for help. Chris and the others had their guns trained on Robert and Jane, if one of them moved they would be taken out. Alex walked over to Lee and looked straight into his eyes, he looked scared and could not move due to the straps,

"Lee......you threw me into a wall, don't you remember? You knocked Leon out"

Lee looked confused and guilty,

"no, Alex I don't know, please help me".

Alex did not know whether to believe him, a while ago he had thrown her into a wall and tried to turn her into a bio-weapon and now he looked like the old Lee, who was asking her for help.

How can I say no he is my brother.....my flesh and blood or is he......they have lied to me about my life so far what prevented them from lying about him being my brother.

Alex looked at Lee, she walked forward and out her hand on the restraints, her mind going through all sorts of senarios, her imagination wondering what else Umbrella had come up with, or could come up with, and each time she thought of something she felt sick. So many lives had been ruined and now hers, the life she thought she had taken away, everything she had lived for gone. It was then she made the decision, Lee was the only thing she had left that Umbrella had not got, the only thing she could hold onto, the only thing she wouldn't let them destroy.

Alex put her gun into the waistband of her trousers and pulled the straps off Lee, she helped him up, Robert and Jane looked on as brother and sister hugged, Alex not wanting to let Lee go, all her feeling building up, all the anger inside her subsiding as her brother wrapped his arms around her. For a slight moment she felt like she was five again when if they had an argument they would hug and make up. She was jolted back to reality by an almighty crash, everyone turned and looked at the lab door, the crashing sounded like huge steps, Chris knew exactly what it was as did the rest of his team. It was the thing they had all faced, it was one of Umbrella's most amazing creations......the tyrant.

Chris turned to his team and looked at them, each of their faces expressing fear and determination, no matter what happened they were going to fight, even if it meant fighting to the death, they would not give up. Chris grabbed his gun and said

"saddle up"

Alex looked at Chris and said

"Chris.....Lee won't be able to make this fight, he is too weak"

Chris looked at Lee, he was pale and looked tired, Chris looked up and saw a platform above the computer

"Alex...take him up there and stay with him....we can handle this-"

"-no way Chris I am gonna to help you....if it wasn't for you then I would never had known about all this, I would be one of those things out there in those cages. You prevented that....Chris....you saved our lives, I am going to do whatever I can to save others.....you can't stop me, I'll do whatever I can"

Chris could sense her spirit, he knew she meant what he said.

Alex took Lee up to the platform and laid him down, she looked at him checking him for major injuries

"ok...stay here, you'll be ok"

Lee looked at his sister, she had taken care of him for eighteen years and now she was doing it again,

yeah here we go again Lee, big sis will take care of you, but now it is different she is going to risk her life for you. She could be killed and it will be all for you.

Alex looked at Lee, she knew he was hurting that he did not know what was going on, he was scared and now she was leaing him again, possibly never to return, this could be the last time she saw him, the last time she spoke to him. Her adrenaline was pumping more than ever the sound of the tyrants huge steps ever closer to the lab, the one thing which stood between her, Lee and the others freedom, they needed her, no matter how much they said they could handle it, deep down she knew what she had to do. Alex pulled out the gun Chris had given her and handed to Lee, Lee looked at it then at Alex, he had no idea how to use a gun, Alex took the safety off and showed him how to reload a clip,

"Alex where are you going, please don't leave me......you'll be safer here, you can't go and leave me. I don't want you to get hurt"

His eyes pleading, Alex looked away for a second then looked straight back at him

"Lee....I am not leaving you, when I kill this thing I am coming back for you and we are gonna get outta here together.....ok"

Lee knew she would come back no matter what happened she would never abandon him. Alex put a reassuring hand on her brothers shoulder, squeezing it slightly she smiled and said

"see ya in a minute bro".

"Chris, are you sure we should be fighting this thing.......we don't have any decent weapons and this thing sounds huge, Chris we have to think of something fast"

Leon stood beside Chris, Chris knew he was right, they didn't have any decent weapons and he had fought the tyrants before, they all had, and now they had another one to fight, another of Umbrella's cruel creations, something else they had destroyed and turned into a monsrtosity.

Come on Redfield just get your ass in gear and do something or you are gonna get them all killed.

Chris ignored the voice in his head and turned.....looking at his friends and family his only worry was getting them out, even if he died in the proccess he didn't care as long as they survived. They all turned and looked at the door,

CRASH.

The door was no longer there. instead stood the tyrant, it's huge ten foot form stood still looking at them, looking at it's next meal.
