Chapter 9
Carlos dragged himself off the floor, doubting even more that he should have come along. But if I didn't, there would have been no one to cover Jill & I couldn't forgive myself if she got hurt, or killed. Might as well face it, I'd do anything she asked me to 'cause I'm head over heels for her. Stupidest idea I ever had, even if she is the most beautiful woman in existence. Carlos sighed & followed the others out of the room. They entered another room & Carlos was pleased to see a nice, monster-free office. They briefly scanned the office & found nothing of any use, the next room was exactly the same. Carlos was about to call it quits in a third office when he saw a piece of paper with a password & user name, a closer look told him that it was a computer password for a room called Alpha Lab. He told Jill & she gave it to Chris, after giving him a kiss on the cheek as a congratulations. Carlos smiled, maybe coming wasn't such a bad thing after all. Carlos followed the others in a daze, busy daydreaming of Jill & him getting married. He was knocked out of his daydreams when he walked into Jill.
"Uh, sorry. Guess I wasn't watching what I was doing." Carlos said, blushing slightly. Jill smiled & nodded, she then turned back to face Chris, apparently curious about the sudden stop.
"What is the hold up compadre?" Carlos asked, not caring about the response.
"Just checking the key we found earlier, I think it's for that room." Chris replied, pointing to the next room they were going to enter. Chris walked to the door & unlocked it, upon entering the room, Carlos had to stop himself from stating that it was a control room, he was determined not to let himself look stupid in front of Jill again.
Chris looked around the room, hoping to find the proof they were looking for. The room was very bland & the television wall seemed to be broken, though none of the monitors mentioned laboratories, or any other floors. Chris sighed disappointedly, he had hoped the control room would have been useful but it was as useless as everywhere else. The group left to enter the final room on the second floor, somewhat disheartened. Chris glanced at the sign on the door & almost considered not entering, if the control room had been useless, he couldn't see that a meeting room would be any better. Upon entering, Chris nearly chocked when he saw an elevator in the furthest corner.
"So, who wants to place a bet that the labs are down there?" Claire stated in a light tone.
Chris smiled at his sister's excitement & started to make his way over to the lift. He stopped abruptly, causing another crash of people, there was a pool of blood on the floor but no apparent source. Upon closer inspection, Chris saw that there was a key-card in the blood, he bent down & picked it up, wiping the blood onto his uniform in order to read the card. The card resembled the lab card Claire had showed him from the RCI, except it was blue in colour instead of red. The writing told him that it would release the locks for the Alpha & Beta labs, though Jill had to explain that was what the symbols stood for. Chris pocketed the card & they headed down the lift to the B1 level.
