Hey there! Well, chapter 3 is up as you can see. Sorry for the late update.
I've got a lot of things to worry about and a lot of stories to update.
Anyway for Pinquicha and a-crazy-linkin-park, thanks for the reviews that
you gave. I really appreciate it very much. Well, I won't keep you in
suspense for much longer.here's chapter 3.
Chapter 3 A Branch of Umbrella Uncovered
"Our instincts said to investigate but our mind said leave it alone. After talking about it, we decided to just go for it and investigate." Carlos explained.
"We were shocked when we found out that they were doing some secret experiments. But I thought I saw the sign of Umbrella but it was too far away for me to verify. I forgot all about it until now." Jill added.
"Did you see what kind of experiments they were doing?" Barry asked.
Jill turned to Carlos and thought for a while.
"I wasn't able to come that close to see exactly what they were doing." Carlos answered.
Jill remained silent, trying to recall everything that she had seen that day.
"The same goes for me. There were a lot of laboratory apparatuses. That part wasn't that suspicious but what made it suspicious is that they were injecting it into some animal. Suddenly, there was this man that came with a lot of bodyguards. He started yelling at those scientists. It was in a foreign language so neither of us understood. It was.I'm not sure.but I think it was from one of the countries in Asia. The thing is, he didn't look Asian. He looked like he came from the French with his posture and sense of style." Jill finally said.
"French? Oh no.it couldn't be.Chris, could it be the man we read about in the reports?" Barry said as he turned to Chris.
Chris looked at him.
"It's possible. Well, this is one more piece of the puzzle." Chris answered.
"French man? Wait! You lost me there. What man are you talking about? I know that Jill and Carlos saw a man who seemed to be French but what are you two talking about? Reports? What reports are those?" Rebecca said.
"We gathered a lot of information about Umbrella. We found out that the company was bought by this wealthy French man named Francios de Bien. He uses the company to further intensify the biological research that is out of the boundaries of sensible. We are not sure about this but we saw some notes that he plans to use these knowledge as a weapon against the world. That is one of the things that we need to find out before it's too late." Chris explained.
"We know little about Francios so we also have to dig deeper into his personality and history. But first we have to meet up with Claire and the others near Alaska." Barry said.
"We have to leave on the next flight. Claire would be expecting us tomorrow because that is what I told her." Chris said.
"I'll call the airport right now and make reservations." Rebecca said as she stood and headed for the phone.
Jill then stood and started to collect the dishes.
Chris then stood and also got some dishes.
He then said, "Let me help you there."
Jill turned to him and smiled.
"Thanks." She just said.
As Chris and Jill fixed the dishes, Barry and Carlos just headed to the living room and sat there.
"It's about time that those two started making their moves." Barry thought aloud.
"I'm sorry? What?" Carlos replied.
Barry then turned to him and said, "Oh, sorry. I was just thinking aloud. It's really about time those two get their acts straight and just give in to their inner feelings." Barry said.
"Yeah. I know what you mean. You should have seen Jill these past few days. She was a total wreck." Carlos said.
"Go on." Barry insisted.
"She said that she's just worrying about him because he's her partner but her actions speaks louder than words." Carlos answered.
"Well, guys I know that that is sweet but right now there are other things we should be worrying about like what would be Umbrella's next move?" Rebecca said as she entered their conversation.
Rebecca then sat.
"So, what up at the airport? When will be the next flight?" Carlos asked.
"Well, they said that the next flight will be at midnight so we still have a couple of hours. But our flight won't go directly to Alaska. We have a stop over at Milwaukee and then take another flight to Alaska. They said that that is the best that they could do." Rebecca said.
"I guess that's good enough. Well, we better tell Chris and Jill later. Right now, just give them some time alone. They have a lot of things to talk about." Barry said.
~ Meanwhile, at the kitchen ~
There was an awkward silence.
Neither didn't know how to strike up a conversation.
But Chris broke the silence.
"So.Jill, I know that there are a lot of things that I should have told you. I'm sorry for not trusting you."
"You've got that right. You've changed Chris.ever since the mansion incident." Jill said as she placed the plate she was washing down and turned to face Chris.
Chris was silent.
"Chris, I have no idea what's going inside of you but should have known better. I could only wonder what Claire had felt." Jill said as she turned to wash the other dishes.
"I know. I just."
"You just what Chris?"
Chris hesitated.
"I just.didn't want you to go through the same thing again. I wouldn't have forgiven myself if anything happens to you.especially to Claire. She's the only family I've got left and I promised out parents that I would always take care of her." Chris finally said.
Jill was stunned.
She almost dropped the plate.
She turned to him and looked at him straight into the eyes.
"Chris.what are you trying to say?"
"Jill I."
Just then Rebecca entered.
"Oh sorry. I hope I didn't disturb anything but you really have got to take a look at this." Rebecca said.
Chris and Jill looked at each other and then followed Rebecca to the living room.
At the living room, the television was open.
The news said, "We're here now live at Geneva. This morning, everything was shaken when a sudden explosion occurred. Almost half of the city had been blown into pieces. Authorities are still not sure how many casualties there are and who is responsible for this. Police are now searching for the source of the explosion. Chaos has now broken out and there are lesser men to keep things in order. Nobody knows the motive or whom the target or targets are. Back to you Sharon at the headquarters. This is Max Dickens reporting."
As they watched they stood dumbfounded.
"Is it just a coincidence but isn't that the factory that we saw Carlos?"
"I was just thinking the same thing Jill. I don't know if their police is well-trained but it looks like that that is the source of the explosion." Carlos said.
Everybody looked at him.
"What? I'm a missionary. I should know those kinds of things." Carlos then said.
"If you ask me, I'd say that isn't a coincidence." Rebecca commented.
"I agree. I'd say they're trying to cover up something." Barry said.
"Yeah but what? That's what worries me.what is it that they are covering up?" Jill commented.
"What ever it is, it must be really something big or they won't go to such extent as to blow up half the city as a decoy." Chris said.
"You right. Chris, you better get in touch with Claire. You must tell her that she and the others must be there tomorrow." Barry said.
"I'm way ahead of you." Chris said.
But as he passed Jill, she whispered for only Chris could hear, "What ever it was you were trying to say, I'll wait. I've got something to say to you too."
Chris stopped and looked at her.
Their eyes met but no words were spoken.
Jill then broke the gaze and headed back into the kitchen to finish with the dishes.
Rebecca came to help her.
Chris stood there for a while.
(To be continued.)
Well, I suppose you know what I'm going to ask. So what do you think? Please send in your reviews. I really, really want to know what you think.
