Chapter 10
Rick was first to exit the elevator, Colt in hand. There was a corridor to his left & nothing else but cold, grey, concrete walls. He headed down the corridor, closely followed by the others, he could see a turning to his right, he turned it swiftly, ready for any creatures which might be lurking there, instead he found another corridor, the same as before with the exception of two doors. He opened the door closest to him slightly & looked around, everything appeared to be safe. He opened the door more & stepped inside. It was an 'L-shaped' office, Rick walked forward, having seen another door, the plaque said that it was a storeroom, the same as the label on the key he found in the main hall. Rick quickly tried the door & upon finding it locked, used the key, the key unlocked the door & Rick quickly placed it back in his pocket. He casually walked back to the others & nodded as an affirmation that the room was clear.
"I found something. Looks like an emblem, the note says it provides the power to get to B2." Barry said in his usual gruff voice.
"The next room along was a power room, so I'd guess it'll need to be used in there." Claire added.
"So, we're done here?" Carlos inquired.
"Not quite. There's another door round here." Chris replied from where Rick had just been.
Rick wandered round & followed Chris into the small storeroom, taking in the shelves of junk that seemed to take up the entire room. He saw Chris stop in front of him & walked to him to see what had caught his attention so completely. Rick stopped, he couldn't believe what was in front of him, what he had the key for in his pocket. Ahead of them both was a proto-type weapon, laid out in all it's glory. The plaque told them that it was a hand-held Laser Cannon, it was the ultimate weapon, once perfected. Rick moved closer, seeing a white piece of paper, presumably a document concerning the weapon. The scrap of paper was a disappointment, it said that the weapon was only capable of three shots. Chris walked closer as well & tried to open the container it was placed in. However, Chris soon gave up & gave the order for the group to continue on to the power room.
Upon entering the power room, Rick stood, mouth agape, staring at the intricacy Umbrella had gone to, to keep the power room off-limits, his amazement then turned to curiosity & confusion when he realised the system had been shut down. Someone must have been here before us & turned it off, but how could a human get through that? They must have had extreme training…Maybe it was that woman we saw earlier? Rick shook his head & cautiously made his way down the corridor. He found him self even more surprised by the next section, he hesitantly placed his foot on the floor, to make sure there was no current through it & then continued, he then came to a bridge, which provided access to two doors. Rick paused to allow Chris to go first, he was far from interested in placing an emblem in a hole. Rick waited on the railing whilst the others checked the two rooms for the emblem slot. Leon, where the hell are you? How could you turn your back on us? Surely that woman can't mean more to you than your morals & your friends? The others returned & started to leave the power room, Rick followed, shacking away the thoughts of his friend, knowing that his lack of concentration would mean the loss of his life.
