Chapter 6
Steve stood patiently round the corner, waiting for the S.T.A.R.S to leave the laboratory.
"You won't hurt them will you?" Leon asked, his guilt showing.
"Well, I may have a little fun but the S.T.A.R.S are Wesker's game not mine." Steve replied.
"It's over when you get the sample right?"
"Not quite. You have to have a sample as well, in case something goes wrong. If that happens, Ada will be sent to collect it."
"What could go wrong?"
"The Tyrant."
"That thing is programmed for us though..."
"Yeah, I know that but...if it got out & tried to hurt Claire..."
"I understand exactly what you mean."
Steve signaled Leon to be quiet as the lab door opened. Talking could be heard.
"So what exactly happened to Leon?" Claire asked.
"We don't have time Claire, we have to find him." Chris replied.
"We should check the other labs, there isn't anyway to Epsilon in there. So, let's go to Beta." Jill suggested.
They were then heard to walk away, as soon as Steve heard the door close, he ushered Leon round the corner.
"So, where is the entrance?" Steve asked.
"Here..." Leon walked over to a computer console & pushed an ominous looking button. The console moved aside, revealing a doorway.
"Smart. So, were you right?"
"It's an anagram, let's see...yeah, Extirpate will fit."
Leon pressed a few keys & the red light turned green. Leon opened the door & turned back to Steve.
"Do I have to go in there? I don't want to see that thing." Leon said.
"Afraid so Kennedy, I need your help in there." Steve replied.
"Wonderful." Leon replied sarcastically before entering the lab.
Wonderful indeed. You really have no idea how delicate this procedure is. Steve half-smiled & proceeded into the lab. He stood for a moment, dumbfounded by the tyrant.
"Shit...Let's make sure this thing doesn't get out." Steve said.
"I have every intention of doing just that." Leon replied.
"You know, you should think about joining us, you could be with your gal then, her work's been lacking since the R.I."
"I can't. I won't betray the others. I'm only doing this because I have to, for Ada's sake."
"Hmm, still, the S.T.A.R.S are a lost cause. They'll never get the proof they need & even if they do Umbrella will knock it down. Our group on the other hand, has the capabilities & resources."
"So why don't you do something?"
"We will. When we're ready. Anyway, back to work."
Leon nodded & they both set to work, gaining the precious samples of the T- E virus.
Claire stood in Beta whilst everyone else searched for the entrance to the secret laboratory. Why won't Chris tell me what happened? I don't understand what's going on. Claire looked up, removing the confusion from her head.
"Chris. What happened?" Claire asked forcefully.
"Claire please. We can talk later okay. Leon is in trouble." Jill said.
"There isn't anything here, there isn't any room for another lab. Besides which, I left something in Alpha." Claire retorted.
"Fine, we'll pop back then move on to Gamma." Chris said.
Claire walked back, suddenly sure that Alpha held the answer. When they entered the room they were surprised to see that a large computer panel had moved, revealing a door.
"So...it was here all along?" Barry asked.
"Should we go in, is the question." Jill said.
"Yes. We have to be careful though." Chris replied.
Claire followed the others into the hidden laboratory, a sudden feeling of dread sweeping over her. Something bad was going to happen.
The laboratory was completely empty & surprisingly, still sterile. It was impossible to tell that there had been a spill in this room, everything was still in its proper place, just waiting to be used. At the back of the room stood a large cylinder, a stasis tube containing a large humanoid creature. Claire walked towards it as her mind slowly fed her the information of the creature.
The creature had the normal proportions of a woman, even the clothing seemed, normal. Black ankle boots, combat pants & a khaki T-shirt. It even had long black hair. The similarity ended there however, the creature was 7 ½ feet tall, with long muscular legs & cold, white, unfeeling eyes. Its skin was a strange grayish purple which appeared to have a rubbery texture. It's right hand was normal, its left hand however, was a single blade, 2 foot in length.
Claire stared in horror as it finally sunk in that the creature in front of her had once been a beautiful woman.
"My god..." Claire whispered. "How could they have done this?"
Her thoughts were cut short at the sound of a door slamming shut.
"I'll check it out. You guys wait in Alpha." Chris said quickly.
As they all left, little did they know that, slowly but surely, the liquid in the T-010 container was draining...
