Mwahahahaha…the last chapter really sucked. I was working on it since October and if you might notice that I kept stalling, or just putting things that seemed irrelevant. I don't know what I'm saying anymore…I'm delirious, hehehe. This chapter might suck too. I'm just trying to finish this story. Anyhoo, I know I said I wasn't gonna go through a walkthrough of the mansion incident, but I thought of this as I was sitting in my class listening to my Professors lecture about something. Listening eh? Hahaha…yah, I don't remember what he was lecturing about, but what I do know is that it had to do with European history. I think it would've been more interesting if he didn't speak in such a monotone voice. Why do professors tend to do that? When I'm in there, I just want to kill myself. Learning is supposed to be fun! Really? Alrighty, but yeah, it's not a complete walkthrough, hell no, it's just some bits. And, it's not going to be exactly like what happened in the game. This is a JANE version, aight. You don't like it, not my problem. Okay, so I killed Joseph off. I didn't want to do it, but hey, you can't avoid the inevitable. It sucked…I was getting attached. Oh well, life must go on I guess. Okay, SOME FEEDBACK WILL BE NICE! YOU KNOW, SOME OF YOU CONSTANTLY NAG ON ME ABOUT UPDATING, WELL, LET ME TELL YOU SOMETHING, THE CHAPTER IS UP, SO REVIEW DAMN IT! Whoa, why so bitchy all of a sudden? Hahaha Okay, enjoy! This chapter is not the end…I think…

Chapter 19: Resident Evil

As Chris, Jill, Wesker and Barry headed towards the mansion, occasionally turning to shoot the evil dogs on their tail, Chris took a wrong turn and found himself alone, but nonetheless, inside the mansion and what he thinks is safe.

"Shit, where is everyone?" He asked himself as he loaded a fresh clip. "Hell, I don't even have my radio. It must have fallen while I was running. I really hope the others are all right…" and then he remembered they were one man short while running towards safety. "Joe…" He whispered as he leaned against the wall and slumped to the ground. He sat on the ground for a while, taking this time for himself when suddenly he heard something, something that sounded like the dragging of feet. "Who's there?" He called out as he raised his gun to a shadow of a person. "Hey, hey are you okay? I'm a police officer, I can help." He told the person as he neared. As he got closer, the shadow unexpectedly lunged at him, lusting for his flesh. "What the fu…" He said as he evaded the monster's attack. "Stay back." He fired a shot to the rotting man but it did nothing. "What the hell is this? I'm warning you, I will shoot to kill. What the hell am I saying? This guy is a walking corpse, as if he'd understand." He said as he took some steps back and away from this thing. "Uh…if this place is crawling with things like this, it'd be good to conserve ammo…" He shot the zombie in the head and it fell in its swaggering tracks.

He walked up to the rotting corpse and examined it. "Damn, this is some stench. It must've been dead for some time. I really have to find the others." Chris left the hall he was in and went in search for the rest of the team.

­

-An Hour Later-

"Damn it!" Chris stood shaking. He fell to his knees and started to tear. He just killed the monster that was once his friend Forest. "This isn't real. Zombies are not real. This has to be a dream…it's the only way…I have to find the others. I have to keep going." Chris recomposed himself and headed to the hall next door and took the first door to his right. "Richard! Rebecca!" Chris immediately ran towards them.

"Chris!" Rebecca hugged him, "I'm so glad to see you. Richard needs help."

"What happened?" He asked.

"He's poisoned. Chris, this place is a horror house, and this giant snake came out of nowhere and got a piece of him."

"I found a bed somewhere down stairs. We should take him there." Chris suggested.

"We can't. Not until he's stabled. He could go into shock and start to convulse."

"So what do we do?" He asked.

"I saw serum in that same room you were talking about."

"Right, I'm on it. Sit tight." Chris exited the room and headed for the serum room. Minutes later he came back with the serum at hand. "Here Becca."

"Thanks Chris." Rebecca took the serum and injected it into Richard. "You came just in time. He'll be fine."

"That's great news. I'm gonna go on ahead and check that room out. If there's a huge snake in there, it has to be guarding something important."

"Chris wait! Take this with you." Richard handed him the radio.

"Get some rest Rich." Chris headed towards the door that led to the snake.

"Please be careful." Rebecca said.

"Don't worry." Chris said and entered the room with the snake. All was quite in the hall where Rebecca was at but that was cut short from the gunshots. She began to worry and was about to go in to back Chris up when he came staggering out the door.

"CHRIS!" Rebecca yelled.

"I'm okay, but that was some big ass snake, it's a miracle I managed to make it flee, but how's Richard?" He changed the subject.

"He's resting…he's going to be okay."

"That's great, let's take him down to where that bed is at. He'll rest better there."

"I was just about to say." Rebecca smiled.

- Serum Room-

"So Edward is gone as well huh?"

"Yeah." She sighed as she remembered his death. "Joseph, Kenneth and Forest as well?" She held her tears as Chris nodded. "Do you know how the others are doing?"

"I don't know. We got split up when we entered this hellhole. I haven't run into anyone else, but you and Richard." Chris said.

"I'm sure Jill is fine Chris." She told him as she noted the expression on his face. "She's strong."

"Yeah, and so are you. Rebecca, we're going to get through this."

"You're right."

"Okay, so you stay here with Richard while I go investigate more. I need to find out what this mask does." Chris showed her the mask that was missing its eyes.

"Can I see it?" He handed the mask to her. "Hmm, it is kind of strange. Do you mind if I take a closer look at it?"

"No go right ahead, but I'm gonna go."

"Okay, but do you have any wounds that need to be treated?"

"No, I'm good. Just watch Richard okay?"

"Gotcha chief."

"I'll be back soon." Chris said.

"Okay. Stay safe." Chris smiled at her as he exited the door.

-37 Minutes Later-

Rebecca sat on a chair near Richard's bedside as she thoroughly examined the weird mask. She sat there quietly when all of a sudden, she heard a creak from the other side of the door. She didn't want to risk anything, so she stood ready to fire. The door flung open and Rebecca screamed by accident.

"Rebecca don't shoot!"

"JILL! You're alive! Thank god!" She ran to the older woman and gave her a hug.

"What are you doing in here?" She asked.

"I'm watching Richard. He was bitten by a giant snake, but Chris got him the serum just in time."

"Chris? You saw him? He's alive?" She questioned.

"Yes he's alive. He was here almost forty minutes ago, but Edward and Forest…"

"No…" Jill sniffed her tears away. "Do you know where Chris went now?"

"No idea. He just said he was going to investigate more, but he left me this to examine." She showed the mask.

"Where did you get that?" Jill asked, "I mean, where did he get that?"

"In the room with the giant snake. It was guarding it." Rebecca said as Jill pulled out three more masks. "Whoa."

"Rebecca, I need that mask."

"Sure thing." She handed it over.

"Alright, I'll be back as soon as I can."

"Wait…where are you going?" Rebecca asked.

"Don't worry, I know exactly what to do with these." Jill headed towards the exit.

"Jill wait, can't you at least wait for Chris so you two can go together?"

"Don't worry Rebecca, I'll be fine. I'll be back as soon as I can, then the four of us will look for the others and get out of this hell hole."

"Wait…" Richard mumbled.

"Rich? What is it?" Rebecca asked.

"Where's my gun?"

"On the floor why?"

"Give it to Jill. She might need it more than I do right now."

"Thanks Rich." Jill accepted the gun from Rebecca.

"Be careful."

"You got it." Jill smiled and left the serum room for the graveyard behind the portrait. "Okay, let's see what secret lies in this creepy place." Jill said to herself as she crept down the stairs. She walked up to the stones that had a little description and placed the first mask in its corresponding place. She heard a chain snap and immediately looked to the source. She saw a coffin held by three chains on the roof. "You have got to be kidding me! What the hell is that!" She asked herself. "Oh well, no turning back now." She then placed the next mask and another chain snapped and blood poured out. "Shit, I'm going to die here, I feel it." She chuckled. She placed the third and the coffin was now hanging by a single chain link. She checked her gun and made sure it was ready for action if the case called for it. She placed the last mask and the coffin dropped and opened up. "Hmm, that was…" she was cut off by steel rods blocking her only exit. "I new there was a catch." Suddenly, a zombie popped up and came lusting for her flesh. She rolled out of the way and immediately fired at the zombie that was amazingly fast. She continued firing as if there were no tomorrow, while evading its attempts at clawing her. She fired her last shot but the zombie didn't look as though it was giving up. As she struggled to load the shotgun, the zombie had its arm raised ready to strike her. She braced herself for what was coming, but that never came. She opened her eyes and found the zombie dead on the floor. Apparently the zombie was using what strength it had left to attack her, but it wasn't enough. Seeing she just survived that attack, she leaned against the wall and slumped to the floor in exhaustion. "I don't know how much more I can take this." She said, when all of a sudden she heard a noise from the entrance. She whipped out her Beretta, but the sound was just the gate lifting. "My sanity is bound to drain soon." She got up and examined the coffin. "What the hell am I supposed to do with this? Is this some sort of an 'I survived Arklay Mansion' souvenir? Damn." She made sure she collected everything because there was no way in hell she was going to go back down there. She made her way back to the serum room but found it empty. "Okay, what the fuck is going on here?"

-Aqua Ring-

Chris was investigating the Mansion, following the clues he had gathered that led to a circular room that was half filled with water. "What is the deal with this place!" He asked himself as he pushed the wooden crates over the water to create a bridge. Jeez, I just hope the others are having better luck." He crossed the floating bridge to the other side and made it to the double-doors that were half way under water. He walked towards the door and managed to push it open and entered. "I hate this place already." He walked along the visible catwalk when out of the blue he saw Richard. "Rich, what're you…"

"LOOK OUT!" He yelled as he pushed him out of the way.

"NNNNOOOO! RICHARD!" Chris yelled as he saw a giant shark grab hold of his friend in its powerful jaws. "RICHARD! SON OF A BITCH!" He started firing violently into the water, hoping to at least kill something. "COME AND GET ME, YOU FUCKING SHARK!" While he continued shooting into the deep waters, he tripped on some steps and dropped his gun. "Shit." He then heard the rippling of the waters and he knew that one of those shark creatures were coming after him. "The Jaws theme would be great about now." He chuckled, as he knew he was probably going to die. He waded through the waters as fast as he could. He finally reached the locked door and opened it with a key that he found in the residential area. He slammed the door shut and heard a thud from the other side. He stood in the room stared at the metal door behind him. Suddenly, he started thrashing the place. He was angry, confused and frustrated. "Aaarrggg!" He grumbled as he fell to his knees. "What were you doing down here Richard? You were supposed to be resting in that room with Rebecca. You were supposed to be there waiting for me! This isn't fair and to top it off, I lost the only gun I had. Well, if I go back out there, I'll certainly die. And if I go down this ladder, I'd probably die too. It might be dry down there, so I'd rather die in a dry place." He said and went down the ladder only to find controls for the water level. He looked through the glass window and got startled when the huge shark swam by. "Damn…just you wait shark…" As he turned to exit the control room, the shark came charging at the glass. "What the…" The shark came round again and this time, it managed to put a crack in the glass. The alarm started to go off, and the shutters came down. Half way down, the shutters jammed and would not close. "Huh, I guess I'm going to have a watery grave after all. Wait…I have to…" He didn't have time to complete what he was going to say and he immediately went to work with the controls. Three minutes later, he had the shutters down and the water drained. "And here I thought I was going to die. I guess Jill was right, I am too stubborn to die…Jill…I hope you're having better luck that me." Upon exiting, he found his gun lying on the ground. "Hey, my gun." He chuckled and picked it up. He saw the giant shark that killed Richard and whacked it with pipes before he shot it.

After Chris' adventure in the Aqua Ring, he headed back upstairs and to a room that had a bunch of killer bees. There was a beehive at one end of the hall and he needed to get there in order to get the key. He looked to the floor and found insecticide spray on a corpse. He grabbed it off the body and ran outside and to the hole he saw at the end of the hall. He emptied the spray in the hole and the bees immediately died. He returned to the room, collected the key and entered the locked room. Upon entering, a giant tree grabbed him and started to strangle him. He didn't know what he was going to do from here. His gun was on the floor and there was one around to help him out. Suddenly, the doors flung open and the giant tree flung Chris to the wall.

"CHRIS!" Rebecca ran to him and pulled him out of harms way. "Are you okay? What the hell is that?"

"I don't know. I walked in here and the thing just grabbed me. We have to kill it, but first, let's get out of here." They exited the room and before they went any further, Chris told her what had happened to Richard.

"Richard…" Rebecca started to cry.

"It's not your fault." Chris said.

"But…"

"Look, I don't want to sound insensitive but I don't think he'd want you to dwell on it. Now let's try to focus and kill this plant."

"Um…I read some papers about a chemical to kill the plant and I saw a room with a bunch of chemicals."

"That's great. You're a chemist, you can mix something up." Chris said and they both went into the room. Thirty minutes gone by as Chris watched Rebecca carefully mix the chemicals.

"All done. I just hope I did this correctly."

"Only one way to find out. We have to go back down stairs."

"Why down stairs?"

"The roots are located there."

"Oh. Well, what are we waiting for, let's go." Chris and Rebecca headed down to the Aqua Ring and to the room where roots were dangling from the ceiling.

"Alright Rebecca, you can do the honors."

Rebecca nodded and shattered the bottle on the roots. Nothing happened. "Um…I guess I made a mis…" Rebecca was saying when all of a sudden the roots withered away. "Hmm, I guess not." They left and headed back to the room with the tree and collected the key in the fireplace and Chris' gun. "Where do you suppose this key goes?" Rebecca asked.

"Oh, probably somewhere in the mansion. Let's go." Upon reaching the mansion, Chris headed to the right wing where he knew some doors were locked. "Um Chris, if it's okay with you, I'd like to look for more clues elsewhere."

"Alright…just be careful." He said.

"You too."

-Meanwhile, Jill made her way to the residential area as Rebecca and Chris left-

Jill was walking through the hall when she heard voices from behind the door. She tried to listen in on their conversation but nothing came out clear. As she leaned closer, she heard footsteps approaching the door. It was too late to run off now, so she staggered a few steps away from the door and watched as Barry emerged from it.

"Jill!" Barry was surprised.

"Barry? What's was going on in there? I heard voices."

"Voices? Oh, it was probably me just talking to myself. The mansion seems to be taking a toll on me. Well, I'm going to investigate the mansion. I'll see you later Jill." Barry immediately left.

"What the hell was that all about?" She asked herself when all of a sudden gunfire erupted. She ran to the next hall and saw Wesker shooting at bees that were about the size of a person's palm.

"Wesker?" Jill called out.

"Jill, you're alive." Wesker said as he killed the last bee.

"Barely."

"I don't know if you noticed but I just ran into Barry and he seemed kind of…flaky."

"Yeah, something is definitely wrong with him." Jill said.

"If I were you, I'd keep a close eye on him." Wesker said.

"Right." Jill agreed.

"Hey, have you seen Chris?" Wesker asked.

"He's alive?" She asked.

"Yeah, Rebecca said she ran into him." He said.

"Is that so? Well, I'm going to find him." She said.

"Good luck." Wesker said.

"You're not coming with me?" She asked.

"I'm going to look for more clues here."

Jill nodded and headed back to the mansion in search of Chris. As she explored some more, she did not find Chris, but more clues that led her to other locked rooms. "This is nuts, I've practically been all over this place and I haven't even seen him." She thought as she reached in her pocket and produced the Spencer Mansion emblem key. Then she remembered where she had seen the exact same logo. She ran to the place where she had saw it while avoiding or killing what mutants that were lusting for her. She inserted the key, opened the door and stepped in. As she walked towards the desk in the dark, she heard a shriek. "What the…Becca!" She immediately left the room to search for Rebecca. As she entered the next room, she heard gunshots.

-Study Room-

"Rebecca, are you alright?" Chris asked after he disposed of the frog-like creature that was about to feed on her flesh.

"Chris…I'm alright. Thanks for saving me."

"It's no problem. Stay out of trouble." As Chris exited through one door, Jill came barging in through the other.

"Rebecca! Are you all right?" Jill asked.

"Yeah, Chris saved me. He just left through this door." She pointed.

"Can't he ever keep still?"

"If you hurry, we might be able to catch him."

"Wait…before we go anywhere, I must tell you something. I saw Enrico down in the caverns and he was telling me there is a traitor among us. He was about to tell me who, but someone snuck behind me and shot him before he could get a name out."

"Enrico's…" Jill nodded. "Do you know who it may be?"

"I have a suspicion but I'm going to keep that to myself until I know for sure."

"Your call." Jill said

"Okay, let's go now." The two women left the study and went in search of Chris. An hour passed and it seemed as though he had vanished out of thin air. "If I didn't know, I swear Chris is natural Houdini." Rebecca nodded at the older woman's remark. "Anyway, we can't seem to find him so I'm going back to that room I was searching before I got side tracked from your scream."

"Oh…okay, well I'm going to search for him."

"If you see him, tell him to keep still so I can find him."

"Oops…I never even told him I saw you."

"You what!"

"I forgot, I'm sorry. Every time I run into him, we're in a serious situation. When things settle down, he leaves. I can't stop him. He's a man on a mission."

"It's alright. Well next time you see him, tell him I'm alive and going to kick his ass when I see him."

"Will do." Rebecca said and went her way as Jill went back to the office.

"Okay, this light was not turned on when I left." Jill said.

-Gate leading to the altar-

Chris stood in front of the gate and examined the seal that was already placed on the left side. "No turning back now." Chris placed the seal on the empty slot and the sound of the gate unlocking was heard. He entered the hall that was lined with candles. "Why do I have the feeling something terrible awaits at the bottom?" Chris asked himself as he took the ladder down.

"Chris."

"Wesker…what the hell is that thing?" He asked as he saw this deformed monster.

"I don't know, but are you just going to stand there, or are you going to help me kill it."

"Sorry." Chris aimed his gun at the monster and joined Wesker in the shoot out. Minutes later, the duo managed to stun the monster into unconsciousness. Chris holstered his gun and approached the monster. "Whoa, this thing is wearing human faces as masks! Hey, you don't suppose it's that girl Lisa Trevor do you?"

"I suppose it is. What a horrible thing those Trevor's went through."

"Hey look, she's holding something."

As Chris reached for the thing in her hand, he felt the warm barrel of the gun steaming beside his head. "What the…" He turned only to stare at the end of Wesker's gun. "Wesker…what are you doing?"

"Well, I can't have you going any further and ruining my creations."

"You're behind all of this? Why!" Chris was angry.

"Mind your temper Chris. Now toss your gun over if you want to live an hour longer."

"You're crazy!"

"Do it now or I'll go in search of poor, innocent Rebecca and turn her into one of the zombies and sick her on you. Or how about Miss Valentine? That would be interesting, wouldn't you think?" Chris was fuming but had no choice but to do as told and threw his gun off into the dark pit. "Okay, let's march." Chris walked on ahead while Wesker followed from behind. They walked up to the steel door next to the fountain and Wesker opened it. Wesker nudged Chris in and before he shut the door, he knocked Chris unconscious. "I think you've reached your end Mr. Redfield." Wesker locked the steel door behind him and picked up Chris's limp form and headed towards the holding cells.

-Gate leading to the altar-

"I could have sworn I didn't put this seal on." Jill thought, as she stood in front of the gate complete with umbrella seals. "Well, no turning back now." She entered the gate and made her way down the candle lit path to the ladder that led further down below. She took the ladder down and found Barry there.

"Jill! You startled me."

"Did I really?" Jill asked suspiciously. As Barry picked up his arm that held his gun, Jill acted quickly and disarmed him.

"Whoa Jill, what are you doing?" Barry acted as though nothing was wrong. Jill was about to speak when suddenly the monster Chris and Wesker identified as Lisa Trevor came through the exit before them and destroyed the stone pillar to her right.

"Jill, hand me my gun. I can help."

Jill looked him in the eye and handed his gun back to him. "Wait, don't shoot just yet."

"What! Why?"

"Just hold on." Jill said as the monster screeched 'mother.' "It seems to want whatever's in that coffin." Jill said as Barry fired shots to keep the monster from coming any closer. She looked up and saw some chains lining the roof. She found that the ends led to four stones at each corner of the room.

"Keep it busy." She told Barry as she holstered her gun.

"What do you think I've been doing?"

"Just do it."

"What are you planning on doing?"

"Don't worry." Jill immediately ran to the closet stone and pushed it with all her might.

"Don't fall down now. We wouldn't want that right about now." Barry chuckled.

"Very funny." She said as she knocked the first stone off the platform. Thirty minutes later, Jill managed to knock all stones down. The coffin lid fell open and the monster took its attention off of Barry. The monster went to the coffin and retrieved a skull. It screeched 'mother' once again and jumped off the cliff. "That thing just wanted to be with its mother." Jill said.

"I'm guessing that was the Trevor girl." Barry said.

"Yeah." She approached the coffin and picked up a piece of paper at the bottom. She examined the picture and handed it to Barry.

"I guess this must be them." Jill nodded. "You go on ahead, I'll stay here and investigate more. Jill looked at him and went out the way Lisa came in.

-Two Hours Later-

As Chris was slowly waking up, he immediately sprung to life when he remembered what exactly was going on. He grabbed the back of his head from where Wesker had struck him. "Wesker, that son of a bitch. If I ever get out of this cell, I'm gonna kill him."

He sat on the edge of the bed contemplating what do next when he felt something poking him. He reached in his pocket and found a disk in there. "Crap…I didn't even get to find out what was on this disk. Probably some secret Wesker file." He threw the disk to the other side of the room and quietly awaited his fate. As he waited in his cell for whatever may come, an alarm started to go off. "What the fuck?" He immediately stood up.

"The self destruct system has been activated. All locks have been released." Came a computer's voice. Chris walked up to his cell door and to his surprise, the computer had been right. He ran out the door, up the stairs and out the other door. He kept on going, while avoiding the bug creatures, seeing he had no weapon to defend himself. He went up a ladder and then an elevator and out of the fountain, which he remembered and backtracked to the mansion.

-Somewhere in the Lab-

"Rebecca did it. Let's head to the surface!" Barry told Jill.

"Wait, what about Chris?"

"Chris is probably upstairs with Rebecca waiting for us. -Ten minutes till detonation-Let's go!" Barry had to drag her.

"Fine!" They ran through the halls while avoiding the bug creatures and through the door that led them to the elevator. Upon reaching the helipad, Barry launched the signal flares and Jill noticed that someone was still missing. "Chris isn't here! Barry, you said he would be here! Becca, have you seen Chris?" Jill asked frantically.

"I only saw him heading down to the lab with Wesker. And that's how I ended up here."

"Wesker was with him?" She nodded, "He must be down there still! I'm going back!" As Jill turned, the ground started to shake and up came the Tyrant she stunned earlier. The Tyrant started for Jill and raised its hand to strike her but Barry intervened and he went flying to a bunch of barrels.

"BARRY!"Jill yelled and started firing her magnum at the creature. Rebecca was also by her side emptying her rounds into the Tyrant. With quick reflexes, the two women managed to evade it's every attack, but at the same time, they were also running low on ammo. "Rebecca, I'm out!"

"So am I! What the hell are we supposed to do now?" She asked when out of the sky fell a rocket launcher.

"Jill, use this!" Brad yelled from the sky. The Tyrant, weakened by the many bullets imbedded in its body, walked slowly towards Jill.

Rebecca then took her gun and threw it to the Tyrant to gain its attention. Apparently it worked. "Jill hurry! If this thing kills me, I'm going to haunt you for the rest of your life!"

Jill ran towards the launcher, picked it up and carefully took aim at the monster. She couldn't fire just yet otherwise she would hit Rebecca as well. "Becks! Run towards me and HURRY!" -Five minutes till detonation- Rebecca made turned and headed towards Jill. Seeing she had a clear shot, Jill took it and KABOOM! She hit the Tyrant dead on and it exploded to bits.

"Great shooting Rex." Rebecca told Jill as she ran to check on Barry.

"How is he?" Jill asked Rebecca as Brad landed the chopper.

"I'm fine." Barry got up.

"Come on! We haven't much time!" Brad yelled for them to hurry.

"Let's go!" Barry said.

"No, I have to find Chris."

"Jill you can't, this place is about to go up in smoke." Rebecca said.

"You don't understand! I have to find him." Jill started to run to the elevator but Rebecca and Barry restrained her. "Let me go!"

"Brad, get the helicopter ready to take off. Rebecca, get in there! I'll handle this." She and Brad nodded and ran towards the helicopter. Considering how much bigger Barry is to Jill, he managed to wrestle her into the helicopter. "BRAD TAKE HER IN THE AIR!"He yelled as he held onto Jill so she wouldn't jump out. As they take off, Jill continues to yells hysterically while crying her eyes out. Rebecca who is sitting on the bench gets a little emotional as well and starts to cry as she sees how much pain Jill is in. "Let me go Barry! We can't leave him there! Brad, put this hunk of junk down!" Jill yelled while still struggling in Barry's grasp.

-10 seconds till detonation-

Chris finally reached the forest just outside of the mansion but he still isn't in the clear.

–5 seconds till detonation-

"Brad, floor it or we're all dead!"

"Where's Chris?" Brad asked.

"Brad! To base! That's an order!"

-3 seconds till detonation-

Chris continued to run hard and fast. –2 seconds- He cleared the mansion perimeter but, he knew the impact was still going to get him. –1…BOOOOM- The mansion had exploded. He felt the impact of the explosion creeping up to him and there was no way he could out run it. He got caught in it and once again was knocked unconscious from the huge tree he collided with.

-Helicopter-

The four of them watched as the mansion exploded. Each of them went into a shock, thinking that Chris exploded along with the mansion.

"Fuck you Barry! You killed him! You killed him!" Jill cried as she pounded Barry on the chest.

Barry pulls her into a hug to comfort her, "Jill, I'm sorry but…"

"NO! Let me go!" She pushed him away and plopped in a corner of the chopper and continued to cry.

During the ride back to the station, not a single word was spoken. All that was heard were the lights sobs coming from Jill. It wasn't long until Brad had landed the chopper. Slowly and quietly, everyone grabbed their things and exited the chopper.

"Where…where are the others?" Brad whispered to Barry; he just shook his head. "What happened in that mansion?"

"A lot of horrible things Brad." As they walked into the building, Barry noticed that Jill was not in sight. "You guys go on ahead." Barry told the two and returned to the helicopter. "Jill?" he called to her.

"Hey…I'll be in in a minute. I just need to get my stuff…what am I saying, I have nothing." She smiled through her tear stained face.

"Jill…I know you're probably blaming me, but I wasn't about to lose you at the last second. Believe me, I would've gone to look for him myself, but I know that he would've wanted me to get out and keep you and Rebecca safe."

"I don't blame you Barry…and I just realized that Chris would have wanted that. Besides, I know he's alive. He's Chris. He's too stubborn to die." She smiled and headed into the building.

Okay, I guess that's the end for this chapter. It's shorter than the usual, but give me a break, I have bad arthritis. Haha…yah, from typing, playing video games and spinning my damn pen like there is no tomorrow. That really put a strain on my hands. Anyhoo, you know, I could make this the last entry of the whole story, but I won't. Hehehe…but if I don't update in like forever, then I guess this would be the last. Just kidding. If I don't update in a while, it's not because this story is done, but because I caught the lazy bug. So…cool title huh? Hehehe…I was stuck trying to figure out a title and then it hit me, Resident Evil. It made sense. But just so you know, I don't own anything 'cept for the renditions. Scrap that, I rather own nothing than to get a lawsuit slapped in my face. Sssooo…I own nothing. Yah well, RE: Apocalypse releases on DVD next Tuesday, if I remember correctly and I'm definitely going to score me my copy. Whoo-hoo! hehehe…Well Merry Christmas to all of you and I hope you all received what you wanted. I certainly did…it was quite a surprise. Okay so, maybe I'll see you next year… Not physically, but you know…never mind…okay bye! Happy Holidays.
