Disclaimer: I don't own Resident Evil, or any of the characters from Resident Evil. Jade, Rob, Raven, Felipe, Adele, Sam, and Jay are mine.

I know that it seems like there are way too many original characters, but this is my fic and it is necessary for my story. If you're wondering about the RE gang, they will not appear in this fic. That is because I am currently writing the sequel to this story where most of the RE people are going to be addressed. You'll see a few characters from this story in the sequel. That is if anyone reads it. Some of my original characters will have important roles in the next story.

Sorry for taking so long to update. I felt I rushed this chapter and it still doesn't seem to be what I had hoped it would be. Thank you for reading, especially Tifa. Hey if you end up being the only one reading this fic I'll keep writing. You've been a great reviewer and I love getting feedback. Thank you, without anymore delays here is "Infected".

*Anything in parethesis is the character's thought.* - For those who didn't know.





chapter 6 - Infected





Rob left the lights off and started poking around in the semi-dark rooms. Light from the windows seeped in through the closed blinds and curtains. Not a very large apartment. He quickly scanned the bedrooms then the bathroom and finally the dining and kitchen area. The solitary atmosphere confirmed what he knew was true. Jade and Claire were both missing. He had a feeling that she may have gone to Raccon after all. Why she wouldn't wait for him or at least let him know was puzzling. He couldn't help but get upset and annoyed. He decided that his search had ended and started for the back door. (The glass.) He thought. After trashing the shards and patching the smashed window pane he left for home. (You better be ok.) He thought trying to will himself to believe it.

"Noooooooo!" She screamed as the dog howled and reclamped its fangs into her boots. She realized that the keys were actually in her pocket. After racing toward the shiny object she felt defeated when she saw that it was just a slimy but shiny stone. She turned around just in time to see the dog jump at her. "Get the fuck off me you bitch." She was holding the dagger in one hand trying to free her leg of the beast's grip. It wasn't cutting through the leather but the pressure was agonizing. She had no choice but to kill it, assuming it was perishable. With swift strong thrusts the beast gave out a howl as if it were protesting. (What the hell kinda dog is that? Maybe it's not a dog.) She kicked it away from her and dashed to her car. She noticed her tank was nearing empty. (I'll come back with help. Maybe I'll get home and find Claire cramming for finals. I hope you're not in Raccoon, with dogs like that on the loose.) She felt pain and was hurting from the dog's bites. (Time to go home. But first gotta see a doctor. That beast must've had rabies or some shit like that.) As she pulled the keys out and turned on the ignition, some dark figure moved along the fence. (SHIT!!! TIME TO GO!!!) The car started and she made a quik u-turn leaving the dark figure to mourn its lost brother.



After about two hours Jay fell asleep on the couch. He had been wondering about his friend's bruises and marks. Then he turned his attention back to the television. As he watched "Aliens" he remembered Raven. He wanted to put a whole in the cop's face. He knew Raven 'persuaded' him drop the charges and let them both go. By that queer smile on his face he knew. He felt boiling anger for him. He felt so disappointed. Her true colors were revealed and he felt only pity for her. (She didn't have to do it. She wanted to. Face it she's a whore and she'll never change not even for me.) With these thoughts he decided he wouldn't want anything to do with her. A door opens to the dorm hall and closes. Jay wakes up relieved to see his roommate walk in the living room. Rob walks over to the love seat to the left of the t.v. and plunges. Silence. He only looks across at the wall as if in a trance. "The fuck's wrong with you?" Asks Jay. Rob turns his head to face Jay and just stares through expressionless eyes. "Do you want to start a fight?" "Nah, just wanna know what's up with you lately. And why didn't you help me out? You acted like you didn't know who the fuck I was." "I was with Jade and I tried to get to the cells but they told me visiting hours were over. They practically threw me out." "Jade, that bitch. Forget her! I'm telling you she does all this weird voodoo shit. That's why she looks like she's dead..." "Shut the fuck up! She's missing and probably in trouble. You have no idea what I went through since last night." "Yeah, what the hell happened to you. If someone jumped you you know I got your back." "It was a cop." "Hey man I don't do cops." "Raven does." "Now you're being a dick." "Whatever. That cop I was talking to. I'm sure he was the one who almost killed me. I was in a bad car accident last night because of him." "That don't make any type sense." "After I drove Jade home I realized I was being followed..." Jay cuts interrupts him. "Wait, how were in an accident and still walking. Shouldn't you be in the hospital." "I convinced them I was good enough to go home to recover. But if it weren't for Lorraine I would have been dead." "Who the fuck is Lorraine?" "Some woman who got her buddies to help pull me out of the wreck. She said she saw the cop. But other than that and Jade's disappearance I'm a dandylion." Rob said putting a southern accent on the last sentence to try loosening up. "I'm really worried about her. And the cop thing is bugging me out." "I hate cops." "So why did you get arrested?" "Some asshole saw me and Raven in the park and reported us. I swear if I see that kid I'll beat the living shit out of him." "Hey that kid saved your life. You know Raven's gotta have something." "Just shutup about her." "What?" "She's a bitch ok, I get it." Rob sat in silence. "I don't know what to do? Jade probably went off to Raccoon..." "Raccoon city, near the Arklay mountains?" "Yeah." "My man, have you heard the rumors?" "I heard something, why?" "The whole city has been quarentined and blocked off. No one's allowed in or out." "Who told you that?" "Some guy was saying some shit like that. He was trying to get in the city to see his mom and got arrested for tresspassing." "SHIT!" Rob stood up "What?" I gotta find her. What if she's down there. And what's up with the quarentine. I haven't heard about it on the news." "I hear it's a coverup for some virus leak." "How much does this guy know?" "I'd say everything there is to know." "I gotta talk to him." "He's in jail remember." "That's what visiting hours are for." "If he's still there by the time you go there. They seemed pretty anxious about sending him to a larger facility." "What's his name?"



"Dr. Turnois, please don't argue with me." "I'm sorry but I cannot give you that information, Adele." "You know, I could report you for this. You'd lose your license." "You need me to test the synthesis. You won't report me anyway." "Tell me how you acquired the t-virus!" Adele's patience had run out. "I already told you. I won't give you that information." "Don't you trust me Felipe?" "No." "What?" "I don't trust you I love you." His face went red and he turned around and stared at the computer screen. He couldn't beleive how adolescent he was acting. Adele was silent. It drove him up the wall when she said nothing. "I meant what said." He added without turning his eyes away from the screen. He scrolled down the current page on the synthesis he found to match the virus. He knew it was ready for experimentation. Then to his pleasant surprise Adele broke the silence. "We must obtain a subject for analysis by next week. I have already interviewed a few people who are willing to make a donation." Felipe was delighted at the news and angered by the way she brushed off his confession. This was the fourth night in a row that they stayed up working on their AnEx project. Except they weren't going to use animals.



Jade was never happier to be home in her life. She was alarmed to see the back door window had been broken. Her first thoughts were that Claire came back and had forgotten her keys. But after seeing no sign of life in the house she gave up hope. She found at least twenty messages on her answering machine. She was too tired to listen to them. She wanted sleep and felt she deserved it after the bizzare encounter with the demon dog and the city being fenced in. She pulled out the prescription she was given and took it. The doctor gave her a thorough check up and asked her to come back in a few days for a follow up. He found no trace of rabies. (It's just a bite, I'm fine.) The bruises would heal in time and she found it fairly easy to cover them from sight. She didn't want to confront Rob about her experience yet. She resolved to call him in the morning after she rested. After a hot shower she got dressed for bed and fell asleep.



"Thank you Dr. Lawrence. Goodbye." Sam hung up the receiver and felt like she had just won the lottery. People might say she didn't have a conscience and she didn't give a shit. After spotting an ad for a special donation to science she felt her dreams had come true. When she spoke the mysterious doctor she discovered all that required of her was to willing have intercourse with a perfect stranger in order to make her donation of a fertilized egg. She was told that she would be introduced to the man she was to sleep with. At first she thought it was odd and was sorry for answering the ad. But after the doctor explained that all they needed was a fertilized egg from her fathered by this particular man because his rare blood type was a requirement. Dr. Lawrence told her that if she at any point wanted out she would be allowed to discontinue without hassle. She was to meet Dr. Lawrence tomorrow at 10am in the Ohio Hospital. After being told that she would be paid $200,000 for one fertilized egg she perked up and decided it would be worth it. (If the guy's ugly it's still worth it.) Little did she know what Dr. Lawrence had planned for her.

A couple recent messages from Sara, the rest were from Rob. She smiled at the thought of his concern. But she wasn't ready to deal with him yet. She remembered her exam which was a few days away and decided to study alone in the library. After taking her perscription and eating a quick breakfast she got dressed in her normal gothic garb and drove to the school's library.

At the library...

As she was reading she ran her fingers through her long purple hair. It was a habit she always had. It was contagious too. Claire started doing the same after a while. Jade turned a page of her calculus notes and read on. She memorized so many formulas that it made her skin crawl, literally. For a few seconds she she scratched at an itch in her arm and then continued reading. Two hours passed and tired her eyes. She closed up the book and slipped it in her backpack. On her way out she bumped into Raven who gave her a nasty look. She returned the courteousy by slightly tripping her. Raven made a dash for her and Jade ran out saying she was late for class. Raven glared as she watched her run and went back inside the building. Jade got in her car and scratched her head. She turned on the car and drove home. She wanted to call Rob. She missed him. And felt the need to talk to someone she trusted. She tried not to think about Claire for once. They would find out what happened to her. She was approaching her house when she saw a suspicious looking car parked across the street. She felt so overwhelmed with panic when a man stepped out just as she parked in the driveway. His face was half hidden by the scarf around his neck and he walked off down the street to her relief. She pulled the key out of the ignition and scratched her arm then went inside her house. She felt a strange force of sleep take her and was fast asleep on the couch. She woke an hour later to the phone ringing. She read the caller id. It was Rob. She couldn't bring herself to talk to him. She needed some good excuse for her disappearance. The phone rang on.

"I can't believe this. Where the hell is she. I'm really worried Jay." "I'm sure if she's in any trouble she can zap herself out of it." "It's been two days." "Damn, you're fienin' that bad for her. When I get off once I'm set for a few days." "Fuck you Jay." "Fuck you harder, you sexy thing you." Jay laughed so hard that Rob thought he was going to pass out. "The bruises, black and blues and all will heal. Anyway, I got no one to impress." "Yeah, man you're so hot you're turning me on." He laughed as he mocked his friend and made fun of his battered appearance for the rest of the night that Rob forgot about Jade for a while.
