Disclaimer: I forgot to write one for the first chapter so here it is: I
DO NOT own Resident Evil (sigh). Oh well I do own this story although I
don't know if that's a good thing or a bad thing.
Please review!!!
"So wait a minute," Carlos said, "You mean all we gotta do is vamos into there, use these codes, get the stuff, and leave? And what we'd take with us is access to their HQ, not to mention enough of their secrets to have the newspapers drooling for years? Man, mi compadre, this sounds a little loco--even for an ex-mercenary." Of everyone there, Carlos liked Chris the least, which was largely due to the fact that Jill like Chris more than Carlos. Chris stared at him, using his odd ability to read people's expressions, even when it appeared that there was nothing there to read, and saw why Carlos was so suspicious. He smiled, and replied, "Well, as we all know, things with Umbrella are usually easier said than done. But, I think that this mission has a good chance of working, especially if we can get the remainder of the Exeter STARS to help us. Rebecca, do you think you can get David and John to help us?" Rebecca thought about it for a moment, then nodded. "Yeah, all I gotta do is give David a call and they'll probably be here tomorrow. They're more than ready for some action." Well, good," Chris said, looking relieved. "At least now we've got some backup. I'll call Barry and see if things with his family are settled down enough to come out here. I'm hoping so, his expertise and shooting abilities would be really useful considering all the security that is probably around one of their larger bases." "But what about this virus thing? What if they just release it as soon as we get there, to make sure no one escapes? I wish someone would tell me about it. I would appreciate it." This was Carlos, still determined to drag down Chris's plan and look better--even though he himself had no plan. Rebecca, their medical/research expert and biochemist, answered him. "The virus is a highly mutagenic pathogen, amplifying in the host in up to an hour. It's preferred and strongest form is through injection, and its airborne form is very fast living--it usually wears off in about 3 hours or so. I seriously doubt that they would infect their employees, especially the prestigious ones that are bound to be at this facility. Also, Umbrella has a serious egotistical problem, which means that they will probably think us too unimportant to use such a drastic measure, despite everything we've managed to do so far." "I still think this idea of Chris's is loco, and now I'm not so sure if he is quite sane himself," Carlos said, and was quickly attacked by everyone else in the room--they all knew Chris well and liked him. He was a good leader, even if he was something of a fanatic about some things--such as punctuality. "Carlos, I told you not to go and disrupt the meeting like this! We never had anything going on between us, so why are you taking this all so personally? You don't even have an idea on how to take down Umbrella, so why are you so eager to shoot down this one?" Jill yelled, getting very upset. She was sick of Carlos's attitude about Chris, especially since he acted like a stupid little kid the entire time. Chris went over and comforted her, giving Carlos a look that clearly said that they would continue this conversation--privately--after the meeting was over.
After a few more questions, the meeting quickly disbanded and the team members began to go back to their rooms in the secret hideout. Jill stayed behind, along with Chris and Carlos. Obviously they had some unfinished business to take care of. Chris looked at Jill and said, "I don't think you should stay here. This conversation is probably going to be less than pleasant." "Nonsense," Jill replied. "Chances are you're going to need an interpreter for this wacko here. He speaks half Spanish, half English, and I know for a fact that you didn't take Spanish in high school, Chris." He grinned at that remark, and somewhere deep down inside he felt relieved that she had obviously chosen him, Chris, and not Carlos. "Okay now, it's kinda obvious that there are some pretty bad feelings between us--well, some of us anyways. I think that we need to discuss this problem now before we get into another facility and someone's life could be on the line," Jill said. "Carlos, I know that you 'fell in love' with me or whatever, but you have to realize that I don't like you, and I never said or did anything to make you think I did. So I'm sorry that your feelings are hurt, but you need to move on. I'm not gonna hide my feelings just to help keep your ego intact. So just knock off it already, cuz you're just being a selfish egotistical bastard, and I'm getting sick of it. So is everybody else, and we can't work as a team if everyone is yelling at each other. We need trust, and you 2 fighting aren't going to help things along. So work it out now, or you and Chris aren't going on the mission." With that, she walked out of the room and went down to her and Claire's room.
