Love Amongst the Chaos

Chapter 3 "Are you okay?"

Carlos grabbed his weapons and turned to L.J who had been asleep when they discovered Alice was still alive. "So that's what we're doing." he said finishing the explanation he had been giving the black man for the last ten minutes.

"Ah Right! It's about time we got 'er back." he said grinning. Carlos nodded his eyes running over the weapons they had hidden in the small house.

They had found it occupied by a few of the Umbrella agents and after dispatching them they took over the house.

"Are you guys ready yet?" Jill called from the doorway.

"Yeah, so we all know the plan right?" Carlos asked turning to her and Angie.

"Yeah, we know our lines." Jill said with a grin. They had decided on a plan of action and they hoped it would work. Angie had somehow gotten a hold of Alice's mind and told her they were coming for her.

Twenty minutes later they had arrived just outside of the building and Alice stood in a terry robe guns pointed at her in front of the doors.

Alice stood shivering slightly trying to decide the best way to kill the dumb bastards surrounding her when the dark car pulled up. She paused already sensing the people with in and she waited to see what they would do.

She watched in silence as Carlos spoke his voice firm and calm. She almost smiled as he looked up at her and she could see a strange glint in his eye but she knew if she smiled someone might be intelligent enough to notice.

Jill grabbed her arm and gently guided her into the car where she sat down the robe still tightly around her. Carlos got in the front seat and Jill sat next to her.

She turned slightly to look at Angie as she spoke but for some reason the words weren't reaching her mind. A voice entered her thoughts and she fought the urge to scream. "Program Alice Activate" suddenly her vision had changed and she knew her humanity was falling away.

"Are you okay?" she heard someone ask and she smiled.

"Yeah, just a bit of a headache. I'll be fine." she looked out the window as they pulled away, unsure of her future and unsure of her friends' futures but she knew that she had to fight.

Carlos felt like grabbing her and holding her close to him for the rest of their lives but he couldn't. He looked up at her as she stood there barely covered and he almost smiled, but he couldn't.

As he rode in the car his mind completely on her he couldn't help noticing how quiet she was. It wasn't normal even for someone as abnormal as Alice. "What did they do to you in there?" Jill asked lighting a cigarette and opening her window.

Alice glanced at the window in annoyance and shivered, "Messed with me a little more. Tried to erase my memories, tried to use me as a puppet." she decided not to tell them of the new developments in fear that they would become less then happy to see her.

Her eyes watered as the mental battle raged in her head and every few seconds her entire body would twitch. "Alice?" Angie asked looking at her strangely.

"Stop the car!" Alice ordered heatedly. L.J slammed on the breaks and looked back at her in alarm. Alice slid out of the car and landed on her knees in the grass.

She clutched her head her body involuntarily tossing from side to side. She bit back the screams that were echoing in her head and she smelled the blood trickling from her mouth.

Carlos was on his knees beside her, his arms around her as he tried to calm her convulsions, but he wasn't strong enough and her next convulsion had thrown them both to the ground.

She was laying half on top of him and he had frozen completely aware of everything, every second, every breath, and every heartbeat until she was pulled off of him. He sat up and watched as she leaned against the car breathing heavily her hands clenched into fists.

"S…sorry…" she stuttered as the convulsions slowed down.

Carlos shook himself mentally and nodded to her, "No problem." he said trying to remain calm. He could have sworn he had seen a pair of twinkling eyes from the back window of the car and he flushed.

Jill wrapped her arms around Alice in a hug and she froze. "J…Jill?" she said obviously confused as to why the other woman was hugging her.

"When you saved Angie's life on that helicopter I hated myself for never telling you thanks for saving my life all those times. Now I get the chance, thank you for everything!" she whispered stepping back and quickly regaining her composure. "Anyhow, we can't stay here, we're too close to Umbrella, let's go."

Alice nodded carefully and got in her eyes down. Carlos got up from the ground and got into the front seat, he stared out the window the entire ride back to the house where they had been staying.
