Chapter Six

Wrong Impression

Jill finally awoke to find that it was still dark outside. Alice was nowhere to be seen, and the others didn't seem to be awake yet since she could hear LJ snoring. She looked at her watch to find that she had been asleep for a grand total of two hours, but somehow, after all she'd done that day, she wasn't tired anymore. She yawned and got up off the couch, unsure of what to do until everyone was up. She knew Alice wasn't awake, so she guessed that she would go talk to her.

She walked around the house searching for her, when she heard gunshots firing outside. Shocked, she quickly grabbed a pistol, pathetic but it was all there was in sight, and ran out the front door. When she ran out she found Alice putting her Sub Machines back in their cases. Jill was slightly relieved when she saw that Alice had killed several zombies, and was humored when she saw why. It was a slightly funny sight.

"They were about to kill him," Alice said looking to Jill then at the German shepherd who was running down the road.

Jill laughed and watched the dog run off. It wouldn't have been funny if they had bit the dog, but since he would be okay Jill couldn't help but laugh at the fact that Alice had just saved him. Though one of Jill's biggest pet peeves was animal cruelty, Alice didn't come across to her as one who cared too much, but maybe she was wrong.

"So you're up earlier than I would've expected," Alice said walking towards the porch to join her. "I actually don't know how you could've slept with LJ in there snoring. Put as many bullets in me as you want, but when I heard that, I had to get out of that house. That's when I came across our little dog friend there."

Jill looked back down the road to see the dog had taken shelter under someone's house. He would be okay there. Hopefully, those were the last of the zombies.

"Where we gonna find this doctor?" Jill asked as she sat down on the steps. "You got any idea where a smaller corporation is?"

"Fawn, Illinois," Alice replied. "It's not far from here either. It's not their smallest, but it'll do."

"Fine, as long as you're sure," Jill nodded. "We'll head there when Carlos and the idiot wake up."

Alice nodded. She was beginning to wonder if Jill was doing it for herself or for all of them. Alice knew that Jill realized that they wouldn't win without her help, and because of this she wondered if Jill thought of her as a person or a weapon. Then it hit her that she was being ridiculous, but part of her still told her that Jill was using her. It was probably the part of Umbrella controlling her. She was about to walk in the house when Jill asked something.

"What are you gonna do after this?" Jill asked turning to her.

"I don't know," Alice replied turning away from the door. "That depends if I survive I guess, and if I even want to survive."

"What are you talking about?" Jill asked stunned.

Alice sighed. Jill didn't understand how it felt to be a weapon of the largest corporation in the world, though she learned to control her human emotions, her physical strength was a little too scary for her.

"I'm talking about the fact that I'm sick of feeling nothing," Alice replied emotionally. "I can't eat. I can't sleep. I can't hurt. There may be some people who want this life, but I'm not one of them. I want to live like a normal person, and if I can't, I'd just rather not live at all."

Jill didn't say anything for a few seconds but when she did reply, her response surprised Alice.

"Well what if we can find away to get it out of you," Jill explained. "When we take out the corporation, we can find one of the really good executives who know everything and force it out of him. There has to be a way, Alice."

It was then that Alice lost all of the thoughts that Jill thought of her only as a weapon. Jill was helping her not to only take out the corporation but also to find a cure for her infection. Jill was looking at her shocked expression confused.

"You would do that?"

"What?" Jill asked standing up looking a little angry.

"Nothing," Alice shook her head, immediately wanting to take back what she had just said to Jill.

"You think I don't care about you," Jill said almost laughing, but it wasn't cheerful laughing. "That's what's wrong isn't it? You think I'm not worried about none of you guys and only care about taking out Umbrella, right?"

Alice looked down at the ground in shame. She couldn't lie to Jill, since that was close to her opinion. Jill was staring at her furiously.

"I owe you everything for getting me out of that city," Jill said standing face to face with her. "And you think I would think of you like ... like some kind of thing ... some kind of useful object after that? What kind of person do you think I am?"

Alice was about to reply, when Jill walked around her and back into the house. It was then that Alice knew that she had lost all of Jill's respect. She had to follow her though. This was not the time to hold grudges, so she ran in the house after Jill hoping to make peace with her.

"Jill, come on," Alice yelled to her, but she wasn't listening. "Look I'm sorry. I didn't know."

Jill stopped in front of the hallway where the guys rooms where. She turned to Alice who had stopped behind her.

"Yeah, well now you do," Jill smirked and then turned and yelled. "Guys get up! We're leaving now!"

Soon both of them were walking out of their rooms, still looking tired. Jill ignored their worn out looks and walked back through the house and out the door. The guys didn't have to be psychic to tell that Jill was ticked at something, and by the look on Alice's face, they could tell it had to do with her.

"Let's go," Alice said leading the other two to the SUV.

They walked outside to find Jill already sitting in the back. Alice headed for the passenger seat, while LJ went to drive, and Carlos sat in the back with Jill. LJ cranked the car and began to go down the street.

"Where am I headed?" he asked Alice.

"Fawn," Alice responded. "Just keep going straight."

LJ nodded and did what he was told. Alice glanced in the back at Jill, who caught her looking at her and quickly glanced away. Alice had just learned that some people can be trusted, and Jill was one of them. She knew Jill deserved better than how she had thought of her. If only she could only find a way to get Jill's trust back.

Author's Note: I have changed the name of Project Alice to Program Alice since I just saw the movie again and Isaacs said Program not Project. I'm really really sorry.
