1 Chapter 6
The unit had been completely destroyed. Chris and the others had no problems getting in. They had encountered zombies, which meant that there was a virus leak. Their main priority was to find Alex and the other two prisoners who had been brought here. Chris had no idea what Umbrella wanted with a six year old child and he did not want to find out. All he wanted to do was get them out. Leon and Claire followed Chris and Barry, Leon had managed to get a layout of the facility. They were on their way to the cells, if Alex was being held, there was no doubt she would be there unless they had been destroyed also. Chris turned to Barry his close friend and in a way his mentor, Chris trusted Barry with his life.
"Look if anything happens… Get the hell outta here ok. And get Claire out, I don't want anything happening to her".
Barry looked at Chris
"Like you said we are all getting out here together…no matter what".
Barry laid a sensitive hand on Chris' shoulder. Chris had taken it upon himself to lead them to stopping Umbrella. It was not going to be an easy task. Barry admired Chris' courage and he was going to help him in any way that he could. Chris smiled and said
"Yeah I know but just in case"
Barry nodded and they continued on their way. Not knowing what would stand in their paths, not knowing what Umbrella or Wesker would do next.
Albert Wesker searched the cells and found nothing. He had unleashed twenty hunters to take care of the employees who had survived the attack and the leak. He could trust them to get the job done with no hitches. He moved up towards the lab, he opened the door to the sterile lab and walked in. To his horror he saw one of his hunters lying on the floor, a bullet hole in its head. Wesker could not believe his eyes, what could have done this to his hunter, he turned and saw the zombified body of what used to be a female scientist, a large hole in her chest suggested to him that someone had put their foot through her chest. Wekser now had something of interest to him. He turned and made his way out the door saying
"Hmm it seems there is someone here who has the strength and courage to take out my creations…this will be fun."
He slowly walked out into the corridor determined to find the person who had killed his hunter and could single-handedly dispose of zombies, his zombies. He was going to enjoy this. He turned into another corridor. Suddenly he heard a crashing from one of the other labs further down the corridor. In a flash of speed he made his way towards the lab. He put his hand on the handle of the door. It was locked. Wekser put his fist through the door lock, it flew open, and he quickly went in. A young woman was standing at one of the desks, she looked terrified, a look that Wekser liked. She looked at him, Wesker smiled his sunglasses rising slightly.
"I didn't expect anyone to be alive. You must be Nicola."
The young woman said:
"Why yes, how do you know my na-.."
Wesker interrupted.
"Chris has told me so much about you…he…sent me to get you."
Wesker could not believe his luck. He had found the mother of Chris' child. He looked at her and in a patronisingly sympathetic manner. She did not notice.
In her confusion, her primal matriarchy took over.
"My daughter!…they have my daughter…Oh God! Missy!"
Nicola broke down, only this morning she had been searching for her ex and now her daughter was missing…Taken by a company from hell. The blonde haired man laid a hand on her shoulder. She could not hold her hurt in any more. He sat himself down beside her.
"Chris did not tell me you had a daughter… I thought you and he…parted company, soon after, you know…" She held her head up and ran her fingers through her hair.
Wesker was in for a long story. He let her tell him, secretly planning Chris' demise; he hid his improved eyesight away from her.
Alex took Missy to what looked like a canteen. They had not come across any zombies. Or ammo for that matter. Alex knew they had to find something soon. If they came across anything without ammo, Alex didn't want to think what would happen. Her instinct was to protect the girl, no matter what. Alex sat Missy on a chair. She managed to find some food and water for her. Alex left Missy on her chair while she searched the canteen for ammo, there was nothing. Alex picked up a bottle of water and with a piece of cloth she had found she drenched the cloth in water. She opened the bottom of her shirt and held the cloth on her blood soaked wound. She winced a little with the pain but other than that she guessed she would be ok. Missy walked over to Alex and said:
"What happened, how did you hurt yourself?"
Alex quickly buttoned up her shirt and turned to Missy
"I'm ok its just a scratch…Are you ok?"
Missy nodded and said
"I miss my mommy, why did they take her"
Alex looked Missy in the eyes. This little girl had been taken away from her mother and placed in a hellhole.
"I don't know…did your mom tell you why you went to the Umbrella building"
"Yeah it was to find my daddy".
Alex was at last getting somewhere
"Ok, what's your daddy's name".
Missy looked like a child does when thinking really hard
"I can't remember…Sorry"
Alex smiled and said
"That's ok…so I think we should maybe go and try to find your mommy don't you?"
Missy nodded, Alex stood up. Missy grabbed her hand. Alex was reminded of when she and her brother Lee were little. How he would grab her hand to feel safe and secure. Now that's what she wanted for Missy, this girl should be wrapped tight and warm in her safe bed, not exposed to the terror created by Umbrella.
Deep beneath the ground level of the facility, computers suddenly became active. A polite but stern female voice manned the tannoy system: " DEFENCE SYSTEM ACTIVATED. LEVEL 5 SURGE EXECUTION IMMINENT." The message was repeated five times. Silence filled the facility. Even Wesker was surprised. Surely Umbrella couldn't have developed a countermeasure so soon.
Alex held Missy under a table. Whatever was about to happen was bad. She felt it.
Chris and the team looked at each other. This was new - something out of, what is now, the ordinary was going on.
After a few seconds of realisation, it struck. Brilliant flashes of blue light engulfed the facility. They seemed to go on forever, then nothing. No lights. No sounds. Just silence. Fear was all around.
