Chapter Twelve

Alice Encounter

"How?" Jill asked.

Koep was looking extremely nervous like he feared saying anything the corporation might over hear. This guy was reminding Jill of Brad Vickers, that stupid coward who she'd always wondered how the hell he got in the RCPD let alone a spot on STARS.

"Umbrella always makes an anti drug for all of their experiments," Koep explained. "Just in case it goes wrong or if they want to change something. If we find that and inject your friend with it, she should be okay."

"Great," Carlos replied. "But we only have an hour."

"It takes thirty minutes to take affect," Koep added. "So we only have thirty minutes."

Jill shook her head. Time was flying by way too quickly. How were they suppose do all of this that fast without getting caught? It was impossible.

"You get us this drug for us," Jill stated. "And you live, got it? If you screw up, you die. Now, do you have access to the room where it is?"

"Yes," Koep nodded.

"You're going to lead us there," she said standing by the door, listening for sounds. There were none. "Ready Carlos?"

"You betcha," he relied cocking his gun.

Jill opened the door and motioned for Koep to lead. The other two followed him as he moved down the hall.

"It's close," he said looking at each door number for the right one. "Room 769. It's in room 769."

"It had better be," Carlos warned.

Meanwhile Isaacs was patrolling the halls and rooms for Valentine, the Rogue Alice at his side.

"If you see her, I want her out cold," Isaacs commanded to Alice.

"No problem," she smiled.

Both walked down the corridor swiftly, when they saw Koep walking their way. They were both unaware that Jill and Carlos were hiding in one of the nearby closets waiting for them to pass.

"You, have you seen a brunette woman, medium length hair," Isaacs asked the employee.

"Yes sir, I have," Koep said to his boss. "She's with another guy named Olivera, right? They happen to both be hiding in behind that door right there."

Jill and Carlos had heard everything from the closet. That bastard had betrayed them ... big surprise. The idiot probably wanted a promotion for there capture.

Alice looked to Isaacs and asked, "Kill Olivera, sir?"

"No .. at least not yet," Isaacs replied. "Contain him."

She walked towards the door to see Jill and Carlos burst out of it. They were about to run, when Jill suddenly felt a sharp pain in her head. She whirled around to see Alice staring at her. There was a loud screeching noise that made it seem like her head was about to explode.

"Alice!" Jill yelled. "Alice! Fight her!"

I CAN'T, JILL!

Isaacs pulled a gun out and pointed it at Olivera. Carlos put his hands up at the sight of the gun in his face. Jill was now lying on the ground, holding her hands on her head in agony.

THAT'S ENOUGH! STOP HURTING HER!

"Shut the hell up, Alice," the rogue laughed. "You got twenty minutes."

NO! I'M ... GETTING OUT NOW!

The rogue felt a pain in her head similar to what Jill was feeling. This caused her gaze to fall from Valentine and accidentally slip to Isaacs. He dropped the gun at the sudden sting entering him.

Jill gasped in relief when the screeching stopped. Carlos bent beside her and helped her up. He tried to get her away, but Jill pulled free.

"We don't have time!" Jill exclaimed looking to Alice. "She can do this." Jill's gazed changed to the fleeing Koep. She wanted to kill him for this, but he was out of reach.

"Alice!" Jill yelled to her. "It's now or never! Fight!"

Alice heard Jill and focused all her thoughts on Umbrella. What they had done to her and others. She thought of poor Matt. They had turned him into that Nemesis creature and sealed his own doom. Then there was Rain and Kaplan. The two commandos who didn't deserve the death they were granted. There was Jill, who had the job she loved to do. Then Umbrella came along and made her look like a loony idiot, causing her job to go bye bye. They left Carlos, Nicholai, and Yuri alone in Raccoon, the city of the dead. Then all of the people of the city were lost, most turned into the infected. The last to fall under the wrath was Warner. She'd killed a quarter of the town with her own hands, which also took the life of LJ.

What worried her was that this was just the beginning. Umbrella was going to turn the world into a hell zone, and no one would know until it was too late. She couldn't let that happen ... she wouldn't!

Rogue Alice fell to the floor, yelling in pain. Isaacs looked around stunned at what was happening.

"Kill them!" he yelled to her. "Just kill them both now!"

She stopped screaming and looked up at both of them. She pulled an uzi out of her belt and got up. Jill and Carlos looked at her in fear. They knew that there was nothing they could do in their defense.

"We failed, Jill," Carlos said looking to her.

Jill didn't look back; she was locked in a stare with the rogue. They seemed to be communicating in thought or something. Alice cocked the gun and placed it against Jill's neck as she'd done in the graveyard.

"You have no idea how long I've waited to do this," she smirked.

There was no fear in Jill's eyes when she pulled the trigger. The thing was she didn't point the gun at her when she pulled it. She turned around and fired several shots into Isaacs's legs. The man collapsed as the bullets penetrated him.

It wasn't the rogue who turned to Jill, but it was Alice, the real thing. Carlos mouth was open in awe. Alice suddenly felt an amount of pressure on her body. Jill had nearly knocked her on the ground when she hugged her.

"You're really back?" she asked.

"Yeah," Alice said returning the hug. "Okay, Jill, I may be slightly immortal, but I do need to breathe."

Jill realized how tight her arms were around Alice and quickly let go.

"How'd you know it was me?" Alice asked.

"I knew that smirk," Jill smiled and then got serious. "I thought the world was doomed before that."

Alice turned to Isaacs who was trying to stop the blood flowing out of his leg. He looked to Alice who was standing over him.

"The drug's still going to take you!" he laughed.

"Wrong," Alice responded. "It'll get her instead of me."

It was useless. She knew everything about the corporation including its experiments and products.

"What do you say guys?" Alice turned to Jill and Carlos. "Torture or death?"

"Just kill him, Alice," Carlos said. "It'll be one less boss to worry about."

Alice didn't need a second opinion before she lifted him up and carried him down the hall. Her friends knew where she was headed. She opened the door with the licker cages and tossed him in the room. Jill and Carlos smiled as Alice focused her eyes on the cage locks. As she shut the door, the cages opened and the beasts lunged out of their cages. As the three looked through the door window, their view was suddenly blocked by a splash of blood, but the roars of the beasts and the cries of Isaacs told them that their mission was accomplished.

"It's good to have you back, Alice," Carlos smiled.

"It's good to be back."

A/N: Sorry I haven't updated. I've been kinda depressed. I had some deaths in the family. There's going to be one more chapter and there just may be a sequel, but no time soon. So, our Alice is back and Jill and Carlos are alive. All you people are insane if you think I'm gonna kill Jill. Carlos has a really good chance of surviving in my stories too. Oh yeah, according to the sheet at the local video store RE Apocalypse is set to come out in December, but they have been wrong occasionally. Well, I'm gonna go. Thank you all for reviewing and bearing with me during the wait. Once again, I'm sorry.
