Epilogue
Leon returned to the AUO base & informed the others about Rick, they insisted that he return after helping the S.T.A.R.S one last time. Chris had been most insistent that Leon took them to the HCF base, though no one really expected them to be there. Leon had agreed but was preoccupied with other things to really pay much attention to what they were saying. After leaving the base, it had not exploded as they had expected, Carlos had suggested that the computer was simply being careful & would detonate once they were well away from the base, everyone had agreed that it was probably the case but Leon couldn't help but doubt it, he was sure they were missing something. The base finally did explode twenty five minutes later, which Leon knew was much longer than necessary, he couldn't help but think that it was a set up, Aki dying, Wesker being oblivious to the tyrant, the keys Wesker had him plant being given back to him by Rick, providing him with the weapon needed to destroy Extirpate, there were just too many coincidences. Leon played back the events in his head, trying to find a clue that would prove or disprove his thoughts but was knocked out of his reverie by Claire. "We need to know where to go from here." She said softly. "Oh, right, sorry. The dirt track, it'll go on for about fifteen minutes & arrive at a warehouse type building, that's the surface of the base. The entrance to the main portion of the base is accessed inside." Leon replied, offering as much information as he could. He felt terrible for betraying them & was doing all he could to make it up to them. When the arrived at the base, it had been completely cleared out, not even a fingerprint had been left & the site itself looked as though it had been abandoned for years, the section that had housed the elevator had been destroyed & flooded to prevent anyone from entering the area again. One thing could be said for HCF, they were thorough, there were no silly mistakes like Umbrella made, it was simply as though they didn't exist.
