I don't own Resident Evil.
Fair warning: I don't have to waste my time with the Document Manager. If I don't get reviews, I won't.
Everyone stared at each other for a few seconds, and then Wesker stood up and answered.
"We are a group of people who have recently discovered Umbrella's slightly illegal activities and have been since inquiring to their practices. You might be--?"
"We are the survivors from a group of people who infiltrated the Hive in Raccoon City. We were operatives in a resistance force who were planning to steal the virus from the Hive when the crazy computer went nuts and killed everyone because someone stole the virus before us and contaminated the lab. We were the only two to escape from the lab alive, and then I was captured by Umbrella because I had contracted and odd form of the virus. Luckily, Alice here found me and gave me the anti-virus to save me from becoming a monster," Matt answered finally, obviously still not trusting them.
"There was another lab under Raccoon City?" Claire asked. "Yeah, and another mansion other than the Spencer Estate. I used to live there as a security operative-that's how we planned to steal the virus," Alice answered; looking Claire straight in the eye to show her she wasn't lying.
"Well, seeing as how you were running away from the HQ and didn't try to kill us, we'll believe you," Chris answered. "Do you guys know anything about in there? We need to infiltrate it to bring down Umbrella."
"Yeah, we know something," Alice said, voice going soft. "It's a complete hellhole in there. You guys will need some help. I know most of the codes for the computers; if one of you is a decent hacker we can get some good solid evidence on Umbrella if we had some backup-there's a computer room just past the door."
"Well, I am a decent hacker-is there any other type of evidence?" Leon answered, becoming interested in the idea the two were implying.
"Yeah, there are samples of the virus-the samples are even in Umbrella containers and everything. All we have to do is get a key card and get it," Matt answered.
"Ok, sounds like a plan. Let's go soon," Jill said.
Chris shook his head. "No way are you going in there, Jill. Besides, we don't even know if these guys are willing to help us," Chris answered, and another argument commenced with vigor.
"I am fine, Chris. I can go in-and if they're willing to tell us all this, I think they're telling the truth. And if they're telling the truth, they want to bring down Umbrella as much as we do and will help us out if it will attain that goal."
"Yeah, but I don't think you're fine at all. You're probably just faking it so you can go bust up the bad guys."
"Bull shit. I am perfectly fine, and I certainly wouldn't lie just so I could go along! I know how disabling an injured member can be to the team, so don't preach about it to me. I'm fine."
"Oh, great, here they go again," Wesker sighed, and Matt and Alice looked at them, obviously amused.
"So, they do this often?" Matt asked.
"Yeah. If it's not Jill and Chris fighting, then it's Claire and Chris or Leon and Claire or Wesker and Chris or." David trailed off. "Well, you get the picture."
"So, may we be introduced to you guys?" Alice requested politely, and everyone nodded, feeling very rude for their apparent lack of manners.
"Sorry about that. I am Rebecca, this is David, this is Leon, this is Claire, this is Wesker, and those two arguing are Jill and Chris," Rebecca answered, and their two new teammates nodded.
"Well, when do you guys think you'll be ready to go? We could stand to rest a bit, and we should wait till things calm down a bit before we go in," Matt said, and Alice nodded in agreement.
Rebecca thought about it for a moment, then answered, "Well, Jill's ankle should be Ok in about an hour or so as long as she doesn't walk on it at all until then, but we'll give it two hours just to be safe. Then we can all rest before we enter the lion's den."
Wesker asked the most sensible question yet,
"Do you have any weapons? We do have some extras, but there's not all that much ammo to go around anymore. Maybe while we rest we can split up weapons and ammo?"
"Yeah, sure. Thanks, you guys. We didn't have much ammo left, only about 1 magazine left each; and all we have is 9mm M93Rs," Alice replied.
"Well, Ok then. We'll break up the kiddies and start planning," Claire said, and they went to go try to end the perpetual argument.
"Well, Carlos, you certainly have screwed us over big time," Barry said, looking positively enraged. "Now our friends are in a building that blew up, unless they have good memories and used your lovely card to get to the access room where they might have found the code if someone was stupid and left it out? Yeah, that's great odds."
"I have to agree with Barry on that one, Carlos. You screwed us big time. What, was I your next reassurance that no one would hurt you since Jill ditched you for Captain America? Well, newsflash: I never liked you," Ada lied, feeling absolutely repulsed. Man, I really fall for some real good ones, she thought. Actually, the only good guy she had ever fallen for was Leon, and he loved Claire instead. Lovely.
"So, basically, if they got out anyway, they have no way to come back because you blew up the entrance to the tunnel. So, Carlos, the way I see it, you have just about one option: tell us a way to get into that tunnel now, or you're gonna die," Steve said, and although Carlos wasn't afraid of Steve, the looks John and Barry were more than enough to help them out-for now, anyway. Later.well, he'd worry about that when he remembered where the access chute was. Wait.that's right!
"Guys, there is an access tunnel thing about halfway across the Channel. If we can get in there, we should be almost to the entrance to HQ."
"Well Carlos, today is your lucky day. Let's go to the marina. We're gonna need a boat," John said, and everyone followed him out of the room to find the marina.
Well, after an hour and a half of sitting, they were bored. They had played cards for the first hour, (poker, bull, war, Egyptian rat screw, etc.) and Matt had become a lifesaver for having a deck in his backpack. Then they napped for half an hour, and now they were sitting, just staring at each other. Finally Rebecca asked,
"What happened down at the Hive? Why did they close it down, and why did they send you?"
Alice thought about it for a minute, her face clouding over. She had wondered when someone was going to ask her and Matt about that. Well, she might as well tell them. Maybe they would tell them why they were here. She took a deep breath to keep from breaking down, and told the story.
"I was a security operative undercover at Umbrella. They put me in Raccoon City at the mansion to protect the emergency entrance to the Hive. Matt and I were working for the same group of people who wanted to bring down Umbrella. He sent his sister Lisa into the Hive so she could steal the virus and get proof against Umbrella. I was Lisa's contact, and until the mission I am going to tell you about, I had no idea Matt existed. However, I wasn't the only one guarding the entrance. My fake husband Spence was the other operative, and he overheard Lisa and I talking about codes, access, etc. He decided to steal the virus and sell it for a lot of money. And in order to get away with it, he threw a vial of the T-Virus and broke it, contaminating the entire lab. So the Red Queen, the computer that ran the place, killed everyone down there to stop the contamination. Unfortunately, the T-Virus brought them back to life. So Umbrella sent a paramilitary unit to the mansion to shut down the Red Queen. I guess I was supposed to help, but the house's defense, which included releasing nerve gas, had kicked in, and I couldn't remember anything. Matt had come to the mansion to see if his sister was all right, I guess. So the unit came in and took us down to the train. On the train we found Spence, who had also been knocked out by the nerve gas. When we got down there, we found Lickers in what was supposed to be a dining hall, but luckily they were in boxes. When the team (except for Rain and J.D., who stayed with their prisoner Matt, since they didn't believe he was a cop) went down to fry the Queen, she turned on defense lasers and shut them in the hallway, keeping them from escaping until they were sliced and diced. Kaplan stopped it, but not fast enough. Kaplan and I finished the job, and went back to the others to find the zombies. You see, they had been contained by doors, but shutting down the Queen unlocked them and sent the zombies on their way. They bit Rain and killed J.D., and almost got the rest of us. Matt and I got separated from the others, then each other. I found dogs and a bit more of my memory. Then Matt found a zombified Lisa, and I helped him kill her. Then he told me everything about what he did, and I got another flashback. We blackmailed the bitch computer into telling us a way out. On our way out, the zombies attacked again, and Kaplan got bit. We had also asked the Queen about the virus, so we knew what could happen. We climbed pipes to escape, but they broke before Kaplan got across. So we continued, and I remembered everything-including the anti-virus. We got to the lab, where Spence had a flashback of his own. He locked us in, and was killed by a Licker. Kaplan survived and fried the Queen, unlocking the door. I got the virus case and injected Rain and Kaplan, but it turned out to be too late for Rain. The Licker attacked us on the train and killed Kaplan. Matt and I killed it, although Matt was injured. So we got out and then Matt started mutating. A bunch of guys in white suits came and took him, and quarantined me. I got out, using a very handy way to pick a key card lock, and went off in search of Matt. By then, the city had been infested, and I almost didn't make it in time. However, we got out and came here, and you know the rest."
"Wow," Claire breathed. "You were in the city the same time Jill, Leon, that Carlos bastard, and I were there, and we never saw you once."
"Actually, I did," Jill said. "I wondered who Alice was, but I was pretty out of it by then. I was infected with the T-virus by Nemesis, and the Carlos bastard did save me."
"Is Carlos a Hispanic who kind of has an ego problem?" Alice asked. When everyone nodded, she smiled. "He hit on me big time at the hospital. Luckily, I looked pretty bad, so I just fell on the floor like I had passed out, and he left, luckily not shooting me."
"Oooohhhhh." Matt said. "Well, I saw Leon at the station when we were escaping. By the way, what did Carlos do to you guys? You seem pretty mad at him."
Jill handed him the security card. "We found this inside the lab in England."
Matt looked at it, said nothing, and showed it to Alice. Alice wisely said nothing either, but she did look different after that.
"Just out of curiosity, where was the Hive's main entrance?" Claire asked.
"It was under the police station," Matt answered.
"But that's where the lab we were in was," Leon said, obviously confused.
"Well, they did reopen the Hive-maybe they used it afterwards," Alice said, obviously trying to put the pieces together-but Matt beat her to it.
"How many levels were in the Raccoon lab?" "I think about 2 not including sewers and such," Claire replied. "That's it! Most of the zombies from the Hive were on the bottom floors. So they simply closed them off forever and reopened the lab floors!" Matt exclaimed, pleased to have figured things out.
"Yeah-Umbrella would do that, the insensitive bastards," Chris answered, still mad about the Carlos thing.
"Calm down, Chris. Steve, John, and Barry are smart. They probably figured it out by now and are most likely kicking the crap out of him till he tells them a way down here," Jill reassured him, trying to calm him down.
"Yeah, I guess you're right," he replied grudgingly and sat down, but fidgeted endlessly.
"Hey, guys. Sounds like everything's back to normal. Let's go!" Matt said, breaking the uncomfortable silence.
Everyone got quiet as they checked weapons one more time as they prepared to enter the lion's den-hopefully, for the last time.
Well, here it is. I didn't know how to explain how Umbrella fit 2 labs down there, so there is my explanation. Like it or don't, it's up to you.
