04.25 am
Rebecca opened her eyes slowly, it was still dark in the room, but as her eyes got used to it, she realized she was in the living room. She rubbed her aching head and somewhat crawled away from the couch to turn the light on. At first, she really had to concentrate to remember why she was so upset and angry.
"Wesker...", her heart started to pound in an uncomfortable way as she walked over to the other side of the room, pressing the little button on the wall. She blinked a few times when light shined upon her tired face. 'I have to see him', she thought to herself and stumbled upstairs, holding on to the cold stair rail.
As the young medic reached out to grab the doorknob to Jill's room, she heard a whispering sound behind her and turned around.
"Rebecca, what are you doing?" it was Chris, he was wearing the same clothes as yesterday and Rebecca guessed he'd been guarding Wesker all night.
"Uhm", the girl walked down the stairs, pulling some dark hair behind her left ear. Chris sighed and sat down in a chair. "What are doing up yourself?"
"It's my turn to check on that bast....sorry" he looked down at his feet and the medic approached to him slowly.
"It's okay...By the way, I'd like to see him, if it's okay?" she said hesitating and bit her lower lip several times, before her friend looked up at her. He sighed again and stood, reaching for something in his pocket.
"Okay, sure...I don't think you'll get anything out of it though", he made his way through the living room and out into the long, dark hallway. Rebecca followed quickly.
"What do you mean?" she tried not to seem worried, but Chris could hear it in her voice as they walked on and the girl thought of asking him again, when he answered.
"What I mean is, that he's in a pretty bad way..." Rebecca didn't reply, she didn't know what to say or ask. She felt like beating Chris up, how could they treat him like this?
"Chris", she looked down to the floor as they approached to the door at the other end of the tunnel. "How long has he been here?" as the man she'd just asked, picked the keys up and started to unlock the door, he turned to her with an annoyed expression on his face.
"Since you got Jill's letter, he's been here for about", he thought a bit. "two weeks...Don't look at me like that, I'm not the one who betrayed you", he showed the sulky girl into the room, it was half dark in there.
Wesker was sitting with his back to them, he could hear them step up behind him, but didn't care. Rebecca sat down carefully, putting a hand on his shoulder. As her former captain turned around, several scratch marks could be seen on his face and his clothes smelled of dried blood.
"Rebecca....Chambers," he said in weak interest, he sure didn't seem to feel sorry for himself.
"Yes..." the medic pulled her hand over his back a few times, while Wesker stared at the man in front of him. Chris looked back at him in disgust. Suddenly, Wesker jumped up from the floor and grabbed the other man's throat.
"Not so powerful now, Christopher?!" his grip tightened and the younger man struggled to get his hands away.
"Wesker, stop!" Rebecca tried to separate the two men, but with no success. The blonde threw Chris to the floor, then before the younger man was able to do anything, Wesker grabbed his hair and pulled him up.
"You'll be sorry for this! Rebecca, go and get someone!" the dark haired man's weak voice told her, but she couldn't move. The older man laughed, still holding on to the other one's dark hair. He then hit Chris, who fell to the floor, unconscious. The young girl gasped as she looked down at her friend on the floor.
"I'm sorry Chris" she sat down next to his lifeless body, searching through his pockets. She could hear Wesker panting behind her as she examined the bunch of keys she found.
"Why are you doing this?" her former captain's voice sounded heavy with pain as he spoke. The girl approached to him, and tried every key on the lock of the chains. She avoided his eyes and concentrated on getting the lock open. Suddenly, the blonde grabbed her arm and forced her to meet his eyes.
"...Cause...I....", she sobbed as a clicking sound told them she'd used the right key. "I love you" a quiet tear made its way down one of her red cheeks and the both got up from the floor. It was silent for a while.
"We better get going...before someone knows", he grabbed her hand gently and lead her out of the dark room and back to the corridor.
"How are we gonna get out of here? They're guarding the whole place?" Rebecca whispered and for some reason felt that someone might have heard them. Wesker didn't answer, but started to run and they soon found themselves in the light living room.
"Do you know where Sherry is?" he sounded stressed as he looked everywhere but at the girl next to him. Rebecca nodded, even if he didn't see it and she sneaked upstairs and up to the blue door she'd been at yesterday.
"Are you going to take her with you?" the medic immediately thought it was a stupid question as they stepped into the dark room, which contained only a bed and a small lamp.
"Yes..." his eyes glowed in the dark as he approached to his daughter. "Sherry?" they could hear something stir and then a gasping sound.
"Daddy!" the little girl jumped out of her bed and threw herself at the man, but he hushed at her as she pulled back with a terrified expression on her cute face. "Daddy...you're bleeding...what did they do to you?" Wesker caressed her cheek and looked at the sad girl in his arms.
"We're going out of here, you'll have to be very quiet, okay?" she nodded and tried to keep herself from yawning. The blonde then picked her up and gesticulated for Rebecca to open the door again.
"Come on", he whispered to the medic as he ran away. They ran all the way back to the elevator that lead up to the first floor, and Rebecca pushed the button. It turned green and a buzzing sound came from somewhere above of their heads.
As they arrived to ground level, one minute later, the sound of a siren could be heard.
"Oh no, someone knows! It must be some kind of alarm!" Rebecca shouted so that the other two could hear her over to noise.
"Dad" the little girl buried her face in Wesker chest as he and Rebecca ran through the lobby. The sound of several footsteps echoed somewhere in the building.
"I'll keep them busy!" Wesker shouted, putting Sherry down by a valve in the wall. "This tunnel should get you out of the department!" Rebecca grabbed his arm.
"No, I won't leave you!" tears started to stream down her face and Sherry hugged her father's leg as she looked around her terrified. Wesker grabbed the child and showed her to the valve.
"Go in there and I'll meet you at the other side, Rebecca will come with you, now hurry!" he pushed her into the tunnel.
"Daddy!" Sherry tried to crawl back out but Rebecca went in behind.
"Please, come with us!" she shouted at the man, who looked around him as he heard the footsteps approaching.
"I'm not small enough, now do as I say, I'll meet you later!" he then ran away and the medic realized she had no other choice.
"Sherry, hurry", the little girl crawled as fast as she could through the dark and Rebecca followed. It felt like the time had stopped. Suddenly, she they heard several submachine guns fire and she felt her heart stop as she heard Wesker screaming and a body falling to the floor.
