"KINGIII"
Paris, France
31.10.03
6:35PM
The abandoned apartment complex was far from a place you'd expect for a human to live in however life still thrived barely or easily, rodent or insect-hearts still beat. On the top floor of the building in a diminutive disintegrating room, no matter how well armed Leon was he still felt as though this was something plucked right out of Raccoon City, it felt so cold and lonely.
However these were the qualities that made it a good hideout for a man who wasn't meant to exist.
Leon's mind still raced around half-clouded by the apparent survival of Ada, and the other half a burning desire to rescue Ada and find out why. Pale blue light bleed into the dark room from a black sleek laptop as Leon stood at a desk tapping furiously at the keys examining the CD he had received from Scarlet Cross.
There were only two folders on the CD "PARIS" and "KINGIII" Leon decided that the PARIS folder seemed to be the one with the info he needed most. He opened it and discovered an image file and 3 documents. The image file was a map of Paris and several sewer entrances were marked, Leon guessed that these were access points to the facility. He printed off the file and noted that there was an access point just 50 yards from the Apartment building.
As the printer hummed and screeched Leon opened up the 3 documents left in the folder. The first was a rooster of all the personnel that worked in the Labs a couple of names were highlighted in bold:
Abel Wynn
Jacob Rhymes
Abraham Gray
Jason Williams
Nicholai Ginovaef
Leon didn't recognize any of them, but Ginovaef sounded familiar. Leon printed it out. The next one showed the blueprints of the lab and security systems, it looked just like any other Umbrella lab expect it was huge and for some reason it had a huge empty hall set up in the core. Strange he thought, Leon printed it out.
The final document contained dossiers of the combatants that are going to be used in the test run, it included a complete medical history, psychological assessments and complete background checks. There were 6 in all. As Leon scrolled down the page his heart skipped a beat when he came upon Ada's data. Before Leon felt like Ada's resurrection wasn't true and it was all just a dream but now it seemed real, the person being described before sounded exactly like her. Mysterious, convincing, sharp-minded it was her alright. Leon printed it all off and backtracked to the main directory.
'KINGIII' was next on the agenda Leon guessed it was the new project being built by White Umbrella Scarlet had spoken of; Leon popped it open and to his dismay found only one file. He opened and found it was a memo; it read:
KINGIII phase 3 completed. Test run will go as planned. All preparations for Subjects- 046 and -047 have been made.
It was a riddle that could only be solved by taking the answer from the person who wrote and the only way to do that would be to go down into the Paris Facility and find them. Leon printed it all of and started to stack all the papers and place them into a folder when he heard a sudden rustling behind the door, it sounded heavy.
Time to leave.
Leon drew his USP45 and moved over to a black duffel bag, gun pointed at the door he unzipped it revealing shiny weapons that glistened in the light. Leon shoved the folder inside and dug out a M2 SLAM, in a classic SWAT crouch he moved towards the wall near the door. On the other side he could hear the clicking and clacking of weapons being loaded.
Leon set the mine for 1 minute and stuck it onto the wall and triggered it.
Backing away quickly Leon grabbed the duffel bag and lopped around his neck; he moved towards the window and crawled out onto the fire escape. He took a look inside the apartment and the door exploded in the fiery flurry of splinters and men dressed in black battle fatigues crawled into the room scanning it with their weapons, unaware of the ticking mine right next to them.
Leon poked his sidearm through the window and unloaded into the black figures; the gun clicked empty forcing Leon to duck as the soldiers returned with a volley of gunfire.
Leon grabbed the ladder and started to move downwards as rapidly as possible a black figure came to the window and started to fire down on Leon. Slapping a fresh clip into his handgun Leon brought up the weapon to bear on the target and unleash a four round hail, the figure flailed around as the bullets tore through flesh and bone the soldier hung limply out of the window. Crimson liquid poured down the wall.
He descended to an alley below filled with foul smelling garbage.
Leon heard before he saw it, an ear shattering detonation that mad his ears ring. Leon looked up and saw a burst of angry orange flare that shot out the building and licked up the walls as the entire apartment and rooms near were enveloped in uncontrolled blazes clouds of thick black smoke trailed out of the giant hole created by the explosion.
Whoever those soldiers were they were dead now.
Sirens rang out in the distance signalling Leon to leave, he started to run as black clouds hovered above and thick droplets of icy cold rain flooded out, soaking Leon. Soggy and cold but not discouraged Leon headed for the nearest access point to the Paris Facility.
