Biohazard: The New Nightmare
Chapter 3: Free but still in Danger
Chris and Jill heard a loud banging on the door and scrambled to open it. Mark and Rebecca tumbled in and soon following them were a group of dead. They managed to get the door shut before they could get to close.
"God they move fast once they find you." Mark said standing up and helping Rebecca up as well.
"Did you two get to the elevators?" Chris asked anxiously.
"Yeah everything's ready to go." Rebecca said brushing herself off. "But getting there isn't going to be easy we encountered a different thing on the way back."
"What do you mean a different thing?" Chris asked not really sure whether he even wanted to hear the answer.
"It looked like those things that took over the mansion when we were there...those green things." Rebecca said she was nervous and scared and her heart was beating quickly but she was trying to be strong.
"Those are classified as type Beta Hunters and they are extremely dangerous." Chris said bringing out his shotgun and loading it quickly. "But we'll have to worry about them as we meet up with them."
"We had better get going now Chris called the chopper a little while ago before you two got back. We were afraid you weren't coming back." Jill added somewhat embarrassed for thinking that they would die doing something so simple.
"Ok let's go." Rebecca added in.
"Yeah I want to get some things from my apartment since I might not be going back." Mark said checking the ammo in his magnum.
* * *
The trip through the halls back to the elevator shaft was trickier than they would have thought. The zombies had begun to make there way through every room they could get into.
Chris and Jill headed up the back while Mark and Rebecca took the front.
"This isn't right we're letting a convict help us get out of here." Chris said to Jill as they walked.
"I don't think it's so bad. We have more help this way plus look at Rebecca." Jill added with a small smile.
"What about her?" Chris asked not understanding what the young medic had to do with endangering their lives with someone he still didn't trust too fully.
"Look Chris...I haven't seen her really happy in awhile. Think about it. No one on the team really treats her like a real member and she's trying to prove herself time and time again to no avail. But now this guy comes a long and is nice to her, helps her when she needs it, and doesn't treat her like a kid. It's perfect for her." Jill stopped to look at Chris still holding her gun up in the direction she walked.
"...The guy stole a TV for god's sake!" Chris blurted out and then looked back to the two people in front of him and Jill. "But I guess your right...She is acting better than I've seen her act in a long while." He lowered his gun a little bit. "I just hope she doesn't do something stupid." He added after a bit of silence.
"Don't worry she's smart and very good at what she does." Jill added once again.
"Alright enough I get it. Let's just get out of here so I can get some things from my house before it's torn to pieces." Chris laughed slightly and then continued his walk once again serious and intent on getting out.
* * *
After a bit of walking they finally found the elevator passage again. Chris and Mark managed to pry the elevator doors open and look down into the shaft.
"Man where's the elevator?" Mark said once again annoyed by something getting in their way.
"It should be on the floor above us considering that there are only two other floors." Chris said also somewhat perturbed about the whole ordeal.
"Sure about that?" Mark said as he looked down the shaft.
"Yeah, it should be up one floor" Chris said wondering why Mark wasn't understanding something that was pretty easy to grasp.
"Um...Chris maybe you should take a look at this." Rebecca said stepping up next to Mark and looking over the edge. Jill followed after her and shook her head.
Chris stepped over to the edge and looked down seeing that the elevator was now lying flat on the basement levels' floor. "Damn" he said to himself he then looked and realized the cable was still running to all the floors was still up.
"Hey we can climb up the cable and get to the next floor from there we just take the stairs to the roof.
"I'm not doing that." Rebecca said as she looked up the elevator shaft. "I can't climb that well."
"It's either that or we stay down here and get eaten alive or torn to pieces." Jill said as she put her flashlight into her pants pocket and prepared to make a jump for the cable. "We have to get going now." She said quickly then jumped out and started climbing up.
Chris nodded at Rebecca and followed Jill making a jump out to the cable then beginning his climb as well.
Rebecca watched Chris and Jill start climbing up the cable. She looked to Mark and put her arms around herself feeling a little embarrassed. She began walking backwards maybe she could find another way up.
"It's ok Rebecca but they are right we have to climb to get out of here. I'll be right behind you so you won't have to worry ok?" Mark held his hand out to her trying to make her feel less uncomfortable. He started getting a little worried as he heard moans and footsteps coming down the hall. "Please Rebecca we have to get out."
"Okay." Rebecca finally said nodding. She took his hand and made her way over to the open elevator doors. She placed her hands on both sides of the door trying to give herself some more balance. "I don't know if I can jump that far out." She said nervously.
"I'll give you a boost then just make sure you grab onto that cable tight when it's in arms length." Mark said putting his hands on her waist getting ready for her to jump.
"I'm scared Mark." Rebecca said suddenly not really knowing where it came from but knowing it was the truth.
"I know but your very strong so just do it and we can leave." Mark said.
Rebecca set her feet and jumped off quickly. She felt him give a push, which increased her distance a bit. She grabbed onto the cable and began climbing quickly making sure not to look down. She finally reached the open doors with Chris and Jill waiting with outstretched arms.
Mark made his way up the cable then heard a weird scurrying sound. He turned in the shaft to see something that looked like a skinned gorilla mixed with a spider clinging to the wall. "What the hell is that!?" he yelled. He began climbing faster but the thing just followed him. "Oh you want a piece of me? Here's a piece." Mark said pulling out his desert eagle and loading a round into the creature. It shrieked and fell to the bottom of the shaft.
* * *
As Chris pulled Mark into the hallway they were now in he all of the sudden heard a loud crash as if doors were being beaten down. He raised his handgun out of its holster and kept his shotgun behind his back deciding to conserve ammo. Apparently everyone else heard it at the same time because they all brought up their guns.
"Chris what direction do you think that's coming from." Jill asked over all the noise.
"I don't know it sounds like it's coming from a few places. Mark, you and I will head down this way and see if anything's down there. Jill, you and Rebecca head that way." Chris said pointing out the two directions with his left hand.
"Okay" Jill said nodding and heading off with Rebecca down the passage.
* * *
Chris and Mark made they're way down the dark hallway. The noise was still going strong but hadn't changed in volume at all making it impossible to know where it was coming from.
"This is never good." Mark said as he made his way into another alcove.
"What do you mean?" Chris asked.
"Whenever we split up something really bad happens it's never good." Mark said turning back to face the direction that they came from. "We should go back and find them and just get out of here."
Chris thought about it then nodded. "Although I hate to admit it you're right. We should just get out."
They began the walk back the direction Jill and Rebecca had gone.
* * *
Jill and Rebecca had been walking down the hallway for sometime. The sound on their end though had begun to get somewhat quieter and it seemed that every step they took the sound got somewhat quieter.
"Hey Rebecca can I ask you something?" Jill asked suddenly.
"Yes?" Rebecca asked having her concentration broken.
"This is the first time you've run into something like this since the mansion isn't it?" Jill asked sounding kind of sad.
"Yes it is." Rebecca said bowing her head.
"Don't be scared Rebecca it's not going to come out the same way this time we're going to make sure Umbrella pays the price it owes everyone." Jill said
"Your right. This time they're not getting away." Rebecca said forcefully.
They walked for a bit more in silence. The noise was now almost nothing. The silence was making Jill uncomfortable so she decided to speak.
"So...how do you like Mark? You and him having been spending lots of time together." Jill said smiling
Rebecca blushed ad looked down the floor "It's nothing really he just helped me out that's all." Rebecca said still walking and trying to avoid eye contact with Jill.
"Uh huh that's all eh? If you say so." Jill said sarcastically.
They continued walking a little more until they heard Chris and Mark coming from behind them.
"How have you two been?" Chris asked upon getting closer to them.
"We haven't found anything if that's what you mean and the sound stopped awhile back." Jill said.
"Now is the time when I think we should take our leave." Mark said from behind Chris.
"Right." Chris said, "The stairs to the roof are down this way."
They began to walk down the hall until Chris found a door that led to the roof.
* * *
Rebecca was the last one to come up from the stairs onto the roof. She noticed that the city was quiet. Almost nothing could be heard except for an occasional police siren, which was eventually drowned out.
She stayed close to mark. She couldn't explain it but she felt very safe when near him, so she stayed as close to him as possible. She suddenly heard a repetitive beating sound like helicopter blades.
"Here comes our ride." Mark said to her, as the sound got louder. She nodded and smiled at him. She liked his voice too.
As the helicopter came into plain view her heartbeat had accelerated somewhat and she found she was breathing harder. The light from the helicopter shown down onto their group and slowly made a descent onto the roof.
A man in a trench coat stepped out of the helicopter and made his way over to the group. Chris couldn't make out who it was because the light behind him cast a shadow over his whole front making him hard to see. But as the man got closer Chris realized with shock and rage who the man was.
Mark looked at the helicopter thankful to finally getting out of this place. He couldn't wait to get back to his apartment. He even thought he might invite Rebecca to go out sometime after this whole ordeal was finished. He thought all these things until he got a good clean view of the chopper.
Rebecca noticed the same thing as Mark. She saw what was on the helicopter and stayed behind him afraid of what might happen.
Jill put on hand on her gun and prepared for the worst.
The man stepped out of the helicopter and made his way over to the group. This man was no stranger to this kind of situation. The monsters didn't scare him. This man knew what STARS could do and wasn't afraid of it either. He laughed under his breath, as he got closer to the group.
