"Claire?" Leon was confused. Claire was staring behind him, and before he could even do a thing her shot rang near his ear. Behind him, he heard a licker go down with another howl. That was close. Leon thought, as he stared at the licker, who nearly flung itself on him.
Claire smiled. "No owe?"
"Yeah thanks." Leon grinned goofily. Guess this means we are cool. Then they began being the trigger-happy people they are. Soon, the lickers were totally licked. The floor was covered with mashed organs and soggy red liquid.
"All in a days work." Claire sighed then began reloading her gun.
"Yeah, yeah." Leon agreed, without actually paying attention to Claire. God, that was so scary, she nearly died. I can't imagine what I would do if she did… Leon looked at Claire. Thinking back to his dream, and the incident at the van. Am I falling for…
"Ada!" Claire called out as she saw the lady with the usual red dress. "Where were you? Chris is inside with the rest. He is in trouble." Claire began talking, making wild hand actions as Ada tried to understand her.
Ada… god what am I thinking of…I love Ada. That's that.
The next thing Leon knew, Claire was dragging him into the compound with Ada leading them at the front.
"Well, you mean you aren't sure what Chris was saying?" Ada asked impatiently. Claire is such a ditz; it's a wonder how she made it out of Raccoon City alive.
She got a shrug in response. Excellent, she's playing retard. Shaking her head, she walked further in front of them.
The halls were brightly lit; the floors were white and shiny, like it was cleaned up for them. The glass panels and windows made it easy to see various laboratories in the compound. But something was amiss. There was nothing to guard this place… this was too easy.
Where is everybody? Leon wondered. As if to answer him a licker blocked their path. It crawled hungrily to where Ada stood and leapt at her. Bam. Bam. Bam. Ada shot at the licker with her magnum and brought it down. A large portion of the licker landed on them. Soft, mushy pieces of raw flesh slid down their legs as if clinging for dear life.
"Common! I know Chris is in trouble." Claire started. Chris… I am going to find you. Hold on. With that Claire ran up in front.
"Claire! Wait up." Leon shrugged at Ada and they both went ran to catch up with Claire.
"Chris has to be here," Claire paused then said, "I really hope nothing happens to him too."
More subdued by her thoughts, Claire and the rest went to find Chris. Every step they took only made precious seconds fly by. What if we are too late?
The hallways stretched on and there were no doors. Everything from then on became a white haze. The entire facility was white. Silence took over, becoming unbearable and maddening.
Soon, they reached the end of the hallway to find themselves facing a white door (figures it had to be white) with a spade etched in its keyhole.
"Damn it. Not another one of those keys!!!" Claire cursed out loud at their ill luck. She and Leon both had the experience of running around the halls of Raccoon City's Police Department trying to find keys which will open doors to yet another roomful of beasts and other creepy crawlies. Leon chuckled a little at the memory.
Claire glared at him. "You think this is funny?" She asked him dead-panned. Then shook her head. Before she could say anything else, a scream rang through the walls. It seemed to come from inside the room.
At once, Claire tried banging on the door. "We are going to help you, hang in there!!!" She cried to the screaming person. And at that instant, the screaming stopped. Dead silence.
Damn it! We got to get inside! Ada thought, and taking a step back, she aimed her gun at door and she shot at it. With a smashing sound, the door was hanging by a single hinge. They went into the room.
"Jesus." Leon muttered.
