1 Chapter 9

Chris, Barry and Leon had found nothing, a few zombies occupied the hallway but otherwise there was no sign of life. Alex and Claire had headed back towards the now destroyed cells in the chance that Missy had gone there, maybe to find her mother. As they walked along the corridor, their flashlights only giving limited view they knew they had to find the others and get out of the complex.

"Hey Chris look"

Chris looked at Leon. Leon pointed to a door further the corridor, there was light coming out of the bottom of the door.

"I thought all the lights had been cut off in the power surge"

Chris looked at Barry

"Maybe that one had something inside that Umbrella needed. They could have hooked it up to a different power supply".

They made their way slowly towards the door, wondering what was on the other side.

Alex, Claire and Missy made their way in the direction Chris and the others had gone, Claire had tried the radio but the batteries had gone. Claire had decided not to speak to Alex about her leg in front of Missy. They could discuss it later. As they walked further on they heard the faint hum of electricity. Claire stopped

"Alex…Can you hear that?"

Alex stopped and listened

"Yeah, it's coming from that passage heading right".

With that Claire began to become more suspicious of Alex, there was no way anyone could hear the direction. The noise was coming from all around them. Claire had no time to argue, she just wanted to find her brother and get out. Then they heard the faint mutter of voices coming from the passage Alex had just mentioned. Their pace quickened.

Chris had positioned himself in front of the door, Leon to the left Barry to the right. They stopped and listened carefully. Leon noticed suddenly that Chris and Barry's expressions turned to shock.

"Are you guys ok?"

Leon whispered.

Chris turned to Leon

"It's Wesker"

Leon knew who Chris was talking about. The ex S.T.A.R.S. Captain who betrayed his team and killed most of Chris and Barry's comrades. He was also the guy who had kidnapped Claire at the Antarctic. Chris knew how dangerous Wesker was, but that did not stop him going in. Chris kicked the door and went in, Leon and Barry followed.

Nicola hid behind Wesker as soon as she heard the door bust open. She was now totally masked from whomever or whatever entered the room. Wesker spoke:

"I was wondering how long it was until we would see each other again, my friend."

Chris was enraged. Barry and Leon raised their handguns. Chris stepped forward.

"How dare you call me friend, you treacherous bastard!"

Wesker walked away, revealing Nicola. Wesker retorted:

"I'm sorry Nicola, but it seems our mutual friend has been infected. I shall have to kill him."

Chris was reeling from the shock.

"NICOLA!"

Chris attempted to approach her. CRASH! Wesker sped forward and knocked Chris back into the wall.

"I shall enjoy doing this, again."

As Wesker approached the semi-conscious Chris, three figures appeared at the lab entrance. Wesker turned around and saw Missy in a young woman's arms. His priorities changed. He charged at the door, determined to get Missy, Leon and Barry were just thrown out of his way, they didn't have a chance against his speed. In a heartbeat he stood in front of Alex who was carrying Missy.

"I'll have this now." He reached for Missy.

In a flash he was in the air, Alex had kicked him out of her way.

"Like fuck you will!" she said.

No one could believe what they had just seen. Wesker stood up, stunned to have been beaten by someone. All eyes were on Alex. Alex herself could not believe it.

Wesker looked at Alex, she had Missy in her arms, she was all that stood between him and the daughter of Chris Redfield. Wesker was not going to let this opportunity pass through his grasp.

Alex held Missy tight, this guy wanted her and Alex did not know why. Alex quickly glanced around the room. Chris was standing on the other side with a young woman. As soon as Missy saw the woman she cried out

"Mommy, Mommy"

The woman went to run at Missy but Wesker ran in front of her and would not let her pass. Alex held Missy tight, there was only one thing she could do. She turned to Claire

"Claire, take her and get out of this Lab"

Claire shook her head

"No I am not leaving Chris in here with him or you"

Alex was a little surprised by Claire's reply

"Hey wait a minute. I am not like him"

Claire still refused to move, Chris looked at the situation. He looked at his sister. She was only protecting him.

"Claire…go, I'll be ok, Alex is not like Wesker she's on our side"

Claire was going to protest but decided against it, they would wait outside and the first sound of trouble they would be back. Claire looked at Alex. Alex realised the look, it was the look that said, if you hurt them your dead. Alex nodded and gave Missy to Claire. Missy was screaming for her mom. The door closed behind them.

Alex looked at Wesker, she knew who the guy was now. It was Albert Wesker, the guy who had nearly killed Chris and the others. She was going to do her best to make sure he never tried to hurt anyone again.
