Chapter 53: Four years and his lie.
Ada's head slammed into the staircase as Laura Collins dragged her up to the catwalk while a stray blood trail followed from Ada's wound. Her shoulder continued to bleed furiously, growing with an uncontrollable numbness due to blood loss. With her vision returning slowly, Ada fought with every ounce in her body to lash out, bring that strength of hers into the open. However no such luck, she was weakened. "A strange ending for such a professional." Laura seemed to say to herself then directed at Ada. Ghost finished dragging Ada at the center of the catwalk, dropping her leg and reaching down for her arms. Ada took this moment to strike, opening her eyes and punching Laura in the nose. As she fell back, Ada's strength returned, allowing her to push herself to her feet with fists raised. "Dylan's right, you really don't die easily." Collins taunted, one fist closed tightly and held to the right of her head while the second hung out far from her body. Ada recognized the stance, a form of karate. "I'm stubborn like that." Ada coughed, woozy from the blood loss. Laura jumped forward, striking Ada's block and leaving herself wide open for attack. Ada took this opportunity and punched Laura's side, swinging about to kick her in the face. "Aaah, kick boxer are we." Laura smiled, swinging high and smashing her fist into Ada's mouth. Falling back, Ada nearly fell over the catwalk and into the dark river below. Suddenly sirens went off near the gas- powered lift, as it activated and went up the shaft to visitors unknown. Both enemies turned their attentions to the wailing sirens, giving Ada a chance to retaliate. Holding on tight to the catwalk railing, Ada launched her foot out and kicked Laura as hard as possible, sending the former ally turned enemy spiraling down the stairs. Ada dove from the top of the steps, tackling Laura Collins back to the ground. Both agents struggled to eliminate the other, punching and clawing while rolling across the metal floor. Suddenly Ada caught the sight of her P90, lying alone on the floor several feet away. As Ada saw this, Laura also saw her Glock 17, knocked away during the struggle, also several feet in the way. Laura lay on top of Ada, strangling her with both hands. Ignoring the urge to punch back, Ada used all her force and kicked Ghost off of her. Laura dove for her lost pistol, believing Ada would reach for her weapon as well. She believed wrong. As Laura grabbed the pistol and spun around to attack, Ada pounced towards her, slamming her fist into Laura's jaw. As the Ghost fell back, Ada jumped high and kicked her one more, knocking her into the railing. Dodging more punches, Laura swung her fist around and smashed her elbow into Ada's head, sending her back to the floor. As Ada prepared to retaliate, a sole kick in the back of the head brought darkness to her vision.
The sun had set. Neon lights glowed all throughout the city, illuminating streets and sidewalks under the full moon. Cars sped through the streets, as crowds of people went on with their night lives. Suddenly, almost out of nowhere a convoy of trucks and vans sped in a formation type way down the streets, weaving through traffic and running lights. People didn't seem to care much, as no sirens wailed. The six trucks parked in front of the skyscraper, which was almost vacant of employees due to the hours. "What the hell's going on now." The receptionist said to her coworker as the two were on duty at the front desk. The lobby was almost void of life, including the receptionists and security guards only five people occupied it. The five watched as the trucks unloaded with troops, armed with P90's and MP5's and dressed in combat gear. Racing into the building, each soldier jogged over the "Croniton Enterprises" logo on the floor as they each arrived at the elevators. "You two, lock down this building." The leader of the soldiers ordered, flashing his I.D badge before the approaching security guard could even ask. The receptionists each pulled out a key, and after placing it into the panel beside them the front doors locked, along with every other exit. The soldiers flooded into each of the three elevators, inputting the provided security codes by the High Council. "Alright men, here is the situation. A large Biotech invasion force, headed by two or more defected HCF agents has overrun Division 6. These agents are our top priority, if you have them in your sights take them out with no question in mind. We also have an insider, who if still alive has sabotaged and secured Division 6's Fusion bomb Auto Destruct device. If she is alive, aid her. Our main targets are Command, located on Level 1, and Level 16, housing the Computer Core in which Biotech have an agenda to achieve. Teams three, four and five will engage Level 16 troops, while teams one and two will infiltrate the Command Center. We have an unknown number of hostels inside, and if we should fail the Auto Destruct system is top priority. This is why Team 6 will be sent to Level 20 to secure the Fusion bomb. Alright, all teams move out." The team leader said to his men and through the headset radios. The Directive Security Force, or DSF, unloaded from the elevators, all guns drawn high.
"Ada.wake up Ada." A familiar voice rang. Ada raised her head, which seems to be as heavy as a bag of bricks. Looking to the left and right she recognized the room as an office adjoining the Command Center used by the second in command. With the lights dimmed, she could hardly see two feet from her face as Dylan leaned forward. "You need a breath mint." Ada coughed, leaning her head back and realizing she was restrained to the chair. "Charming as usual.it's been a long time Ada, how have you been?" Dylan asked, sitting on the desk. "Fuck you." She replied sharply, annoyed by his presence. "And still charming.now Ada, you've been a very bad girl. You should see Laura's face, she's ready to put a bullet through your skull." Dylan laughed, amused for some reason. He was a completely different person then she once knew. "If she was the best of our best, then it's not so much of our loss." Ada insisted. "Aaah but she has style, she's got class.a lot like you. You know I was very unimpressed when I learnt that you were an original Chosen Five candidate, and still turned the offer down. And I thought you and I were a team.no more then that.friends." Dylan consoled. "Well our friendship ended the second I learned the truth. You weren't a candidate Dylan, you've been with Biotech from the beginning. You've lied to me for four years." Ada said, staring at his face blankly. His amusement faded, and he seemed to take the comment deeply. "You don't know what we're dealing with Ada, you really don't. You don't know what the truth is, and I don't know if you're ready to learn." Dylan lectured, pacing the room in a calm fashion. "The truth.that's all I've heard from Biotech, the supposed truth of HCF. Well what the hell is it!? How can you expect me to betray everything I believe in on your word alone!?" Ada screamed. "You can't.you don't need to trust me, or trust Biotech. What you need to see is the lies." Dylan protested. "I see the lies when I look at you Dylan.that's all it's really ever been." Ada lowered her voice, resentment and negative feelings vacating from her thoughts. Was this part of Dylan's plan to defect her? Break her will, her beliefs? "But you see more lies Ada, The Directive's lies. You've confirmed everything about your mother.haven't you?" Dylan implied, sitting back on the desk. Ada paused, thinking of an appropriate response. "I've learned more then I thought I would.but not everything." "Oh come on Ada, see the truth damnit. Your mother was an HCF agent. She got pregnant with an Umbrella employee and HCF hunted her down like an animal. It's a miracle she survived." Dylan informed. "How do you know?" Ada questioned. "It was one of the many things told to me by Biotech. Hell if you don't believe me, check the old codes of conduct for The Incursion Directive, your mother was impregnated with an Umbrella employee's child, and they believed she needed to be contained. But she escaped.you escaped. And so here we are." Dylan replied. "Here we are." Ada repeated, chuckling at his final remark. After a long thought, Dylan jumped down from the desk and approached the door, pausing to say something. "Think about my offer.Biotech's offer, it still stands. Help us take HCF down Ada, and we'll get your answers you need. Think it over." He said, exiting the room.
"She's stubborn." Julia commented, still tied to the chair as Dylan stared unknowingly at the desk. The low hum of the ventilation ducts broke the silence, knocking Dylan out of his train of thoughts. "She always has been." Dylan implied, knocking on the wooden desk as he leaned back in the chair. "What will you do Dylan, will you destroy Division 6? What will that accomplish now?" Julia continued to probe his thoughts, taking advantage of the weakness he showed for Ada. "It'll accomplish plenty.the hackers only need another twenty minutes to get into the core.You understand the plan then.?" Dylan questioned. "Yes.You will take my plan to the Biotech Director?" Julia asked. "I will. Something tells me she'll be pleased with it, however I don't trust Donald Marcus." Dylan confided. "I do, this was part of his plan for thirty years. I won't betray him now." Julia insisted. "Even to give up the power of a lifetime?" He protested. His words seemed truthful, even though Julia could never trust him, she believed his pact with her was true. Why she was so sure, remained a mystery. "Yes.I will not betray Marcus, we can use him. Now, what will you do with the Computer Core after you've escaped?" She said, biding her time to break through the restraining ropes. "The Director has information inside the Core she needs, and with your help we can conclude the plan. I'm sure the Director can accommodate your needs after HCF is disbanded." Dylan insisted, smiling at her. "I'm sure she can." Julia nodded. "My men will also ensure your escape from here, you must understand in order for the Director to agree with the plan Division 6 must fall. We need compensation." Dylan revealed. "I know, I'll contact you later on when the heat has died down." Julia paused, when suddenly banging on the office windows grabbed their attention, as a henchman signaled for Dylan to come out to Command. "I'll be right back." He said quickly, exiting the room.
"Sir, someone has activated the elevator on the Level A1. Could be another HCF agent like Wong." The henchman informed. "No.its after midnight no agents would be coming in now. How many elevators entered HCF in that time?" Dylan questioned. The henchman pulled up the elevator systems, and read the sensor logs while HCF's Command crew watched in puzzlement. "All three elevators entered Levels A1, A2, and A3..Could be a glitch in the system, due to the Auto Destruct." The man implied. "No, elevators do just the opposite, they all return to Croniton Enterprises. Pull up the communications logs, maybe someone got a message out." Dylan leaned against the console, seeing out of the corner of his eye a dead man staring blankly up at him. It was not the first time that night Dylan felt remorse for what was happening. "There." Dylan pointed, reading Ada's message sent to Division 1 earlier that evening. Without saying a word, Dylan pulled out his Beretta and turned the safety off, hurrying to the office Ada remained in. As he pushed open the door, the darkness inside prevented any sight. Yet he didn't need light to see that Ada was gone. "Ada!!!" He screamed upon entering the command center again. Everyone watched this crazed man scream at the walls, his gun held high. No reply came for him. "Ada, either you show yourself, or I start executing these people.starting with her!" Dylan aimed the Beretta at the office window, lining up the sights to Julia's head. Julia could only watch in horror as Dylan prepared to end her life, pact or no pact that he was ready to pull the trigger. "Fine, her life is on your head." Dylan said lower this time, and turned his attention back to his aim.
"Move in!!" The DSF squad swarmed the Command Center, opening fire on the half dozen Biotech agents. Gun smoke filled the air again as people dove for cover, except for one man. Dylan remained standing with his gun firing, diving to the elevator and exiting Command. "We have positive sights on Nomad, all teams pursue." The DSF leader informed through the radios. Julia finally broke free of the restraints, and rushed to her desk drawer. Inside lay her weapon. "Colonel Sterling." The man greeted as gunfire ceased in the room, each Biotech agent falling to their deaths. "Where's Nomad." Julia protested, a spot of dry blood still visible on her shoulder. "He exited through the elevator ma'am, we're pursuing now. Our teams on Level 16 found Foxhound unconscious, we're moving him to a holding cell now." The DSF officer informed. "And what of the Computer Core?" Julia said, turning to the elevator so she could escape Division 6 as planned with Dylan. "Gone ma'am.where are you going?" He said, following her. "Ah.nowhere." Julia replied, sitting instead at the camera surveillance terminal. "We believe Nomad may have the Core, but his only escape is the parking garage which we have secured. One of our people overheard a message from Ghost to the remaining Agents, she's ordered an evacuation. There's a shootout going on in the parking garage as we speak." He continued as Julia shifted through camera after camera until discovering something interesting. "Ada." She whispered.
"Ghost, I have the Core, meet me at the evac zone." Dylan yelled while racing down a corridor, fires surrounding him and rubble under his feet. "I'm already here, I've dispatched several agents already, how did you know about the underground train system activating on schedule?" Laura asked, pacing the platform beside the old underground tram system HCF used years ago. "This place was designed years ago, and the underground tram system was used in the event of the Auto Destruct activating. Its not used anymore." Dylan panted, rounding a corner and jumping over a downed Biotech agent. "Well good call, our people at the parking garage are providing distraction enough to ensure our escape.any word from Foxhound?" Laura said. "I saw him at the Computer Core vault, he was unconscious and injured, I couldn't carry him all the way to Level 20. We'll need to get him back later." Dylan slid down the ladder, leading to Level 20. "Damn, alright, see you soon." Ghost signed off.
Dylan watched as the final tram activated below the platform, awaiting someone to jump to the helm. Almost diving down the stairs, Dylan initiated the tram and pulled out the remote device for the Auto Destruct, stolen from Ada earlier. As he prepared to activate it, a loud, booming voice rang out. "Dylan!!!!" Ada screamed as loudly as possible. Dylan looked up, watching Ada crouch on the platform above with her Glock 17 drawn. He had fired his last bullet upon entering the tram platform, and Ada had a clear shot to fire. "It shouldn't end like this Ada!!" He said while the slow moving tram continued on its course for the close approaching tunnel. "Drop the remote and put your hands up!" Ada insisted. "I can't do that!!!!" Dylan yelled, a complete, serious tone to his voice. Running out of time, Ada opened fire on the shot she had, hitting Dylan in the arm and causing him to drop the remote off the tram. Dylan dove to the far right of the tram as bullets hailed upon the module, Ada had lost her shot as the tram finally entered the tunnel, activating its main engines and shooting off. As she stood towering over the railing, Ada dropped the gun, realizing she had the chance to end his life that moment. She choked, she held back because of emotion. Closing her fist while intense fury flowed through her body, Ada promised herself right there and then that she would never hesitate to kill Dylan again. "See you around, Dylan." She whispered. It was finally over, and still just beginning.
Ada's head slammed into the staircase as Laura Collins dragged her up to the catwalk while a stray blood trail followed from Ada's wound. Her shoulder continued to bleed furiously, growing with an uncontrollable numbness due to blood loss. With her vision returning slowly, Ada fought with every ounce in her body to lash out, bring that strength of hers into the open. However no such luck, she was weakened.
