Carlos and Chris stared at the door Jill had just exited from, both in shock. "She wouldn't really stop us from going, would she? I mean, she really didn't mean all that, verdad?" Carlos said, not quite believing what had just happened. "Oh, she will all right. Trust me, once she gets fed up, there's no stopping her. She'll even talk to the rest of the people and tell them everything, and that means we definitely won't go--the guys are serious about bringing down Umbrella. I am, too. Those bastards killed some really good friends of mine at Raccoon City, and they've endangered my friends' lives more times than I like to think about. I have no problems with you, but obviously you have a problem with me, and I think I know what it is. It's the fact that Jill chose me and not you. Listen, man, I'm really sorry about that, but I can't help it. It was her choice, and her choice alone. I hope you can get it behind you soon, or else we'll have a whole lot of time to settle this--unfortunately, the others will be in another Umbrella hellhole. So, what do you say?" Chris said, hoping desperately his words would get through to the dumb Hispanic. He needed to be at the next mission to protect Claire, Jill, and Rebecca. They needed someone there with marksmanship skills, and he definitely had those. He waited while Carlos thought things over, thinking that the guy was still trying to translate everything he had just said. "Well, I still think that you are a vajo that needs to learn he's not as bad as he thinks he is, but for the mission I'm ready to put that aside--for now." With that, Carlos turned around and walked out towards his room. Chris sighed, and followed him, going to his own room.
Meanwhile, Jill was faced with the remaining team members, who had gathered in her and Claire's room. "Has everyone else been contacted? If Chris's plan is going to work, then we need everyone here as soon as possible," Jill said, and everyone grinned; Jill knew what was going to happen. "Yes, and they'll be here tomorrow. But how are Chris and Carlos doing?" Leon answered. Claire chimed in, "Yeah, cuz if they're gonna kill each other we're gonna need a new leader, so we'd best start choosing now." Jill looked at them, and then sighed. "I really don't think I should get into this, especially now." "Well, we do have a lot of time on our hands, right?" Claire asked. Jill nodded. "Then please, please, PLEASE tell us. We have a right to know!" Rebecca begged, and Jill found herself giving in to that godd@mn pleading look. "OK, OK, but don't mention any of this to anyone else--I don't wanna cause any more problems. Promise?" Jill asked, and waited until everyone had nodded before continuing. "Well, as all of you nosy fools know, Chris and I started dating soon after the Spencer lab exploded. Then he had to go to Europe, and I, obviously, stayed behind to finish the research we had going here. Unfortunately, the T-Virus escaped into Raccoon City before I got out. And while I was trying to get out, I met Carlos. He saved my life more than once, and I helped him get his injured commander most of the way to safety -- and after he sacrificed himself, I helped Carlos out. Then, when we were almost out, Nemesis appeared and shot down the copter. We both fought it off, but I was infected. Carlos got the vaccine and saved both my life and my sanity. And without him, I would've never gotten out of Raccoon in time. After all, I don't know how to fly a chopper. Anyways, while we were looking for Chris, Carlos fell in love with me, and he thought I felt the same way. Well, I set him straight very fast, and then we found Chris. That made Carlos see the truth, but he's been acting like Chris is evil now or something. I told them both that if they didn't pull their act together they wouldn't be going on the mission. I hope you guys agree, cuz my threat doesn't exactly work without some backup." Everyone sat, dumbfounded, after she finished, and for a while nobody said anything. Finally Rebecca gushed, "I wish I had 2 hot guys fighting over me. But still, they shouldn't act like this, and I think your punishment is fair-- we need trust to succeed on this mission." The others nodded their consent, and Jill finally relaxed, glad to get everything off her chest. They sat around talking for a while, relaxing for the first time since Umbrella began to lost control.
Chris sat in his room, thinking about his conversation with Carlos. He thought he should talk to Carlos more and get his side of the story. He exited his room and almost ran into Carlos, who had been headed for the stairs. He looked guilty, and after a moment he began trying to explain. "Pues, I was just going to see if the chicas are OK, and to talk to Jill for a little bit. Me and her still have some undone business." Chris grinned and said, "First of all, I think you mean unfinished business." Carlos looked exasperated and muttered something under his breath in Spanish. "Well, I was gonna come get your side of the story, then Jill's. But I guess we can go and check on the girls first--I'm assuming Leon's not back yet, and I wanna make sure Claire's OK." "Well, isn't she sharing a room with Jill?" Carlos asked, causing Chris to grin. "Yeah, but the girls decided they each wanted their own room, so Claire's gonna move to a different room tonight," he explained, and Carlos smiled, knowing exactly how he felt. "Oh, then we definitely need to check on the chicas. Vamos! We have to tell them that all is well with us anyways." Laughing, they went up to retrieve Leon--Carlos hoping that nothing was going on between Leon and Claire. He didn't want to pull Chris off of Leon; it would definitely prove very difficult, if not impossible.
