Chapter 2
Jared twiddled his thumbs as he rode in the plane, hating the mission. He was a marine, not a babysitter, why should he have to go check on the stupid scientist. See, him and about twenty or so other marines were going to the underground base Umbrella was working in underwater. Supposedly, the scientists hadn't replied in a few weeks to the Pentagon, and the Army thinks the shit hit the fan. Still, this wasn't his problem.
"Okay guys, we're going in for a landing," Jon, the pilot, told them. Jared nodded. At least this wouldn't take long. The landing pad and a stairway into the facility were above water. He and his team would be going in first. No, not long at all.
Steve stared at Michelle, who was standing across from him. They were on the landing pad of the underwater Umbrella facility, and he was with Alpha team, the first to go into the facility. He had loved Michelle since he joined the marines, but had been turned down several times. Each time made him want her a little more.
Jared walked up to Steve and the other ten members: Michelle, Jared, Holden, Chayson, Nichole, Savannah, Sarah, Wajihah, Kevin and Nate.
"As you guys should know, we're the first team going in to this base. Team Bravo will be here in about two hours, so that gives us plenty of time to find some scientists and get all the credit," he told them, sternly but with humor. The team began to laugh, but Steve couldn't take his eyes off Michelle; he would do anything to get her.
"Do you understand Steve, or do I need to cut off that hard-on and ram it up your ass?" Jared shouted at him. Steve finally took his eyes off Michelle to look at his commanding officer.
"Sorry, sir!" Steve replied. Jared didn't move a muscle.
"Don't be sorry, just make sure you keep your focus on finding the scientists, rather than finding some poontang," Jared smiled.
"Yes, sir!" Steve replied again, hating Jared. Hating him a lot. Jared turned back to the group.
"I need two people to wait p here and stand guard. Anybody want to volunteer?" Jared asked. Kevin and Nate raised their hands.
"Good, very good. You two stay up here. I'm leaving you guys a walkie talkie, incase anything goes wrong, okay?" Jared replied. They both nodded.
"Let's move it out."
Kevin closed the lid that covered the stairs as the team went down.
"So, what do you wanna do?" Nate asked. Kevin shrugged. Suddenly, Kevin heard a strange noise coming from the water.
"What?" Nate asked, noticing Kevin staring at the edge. Kevin walked over, kneeling over the edge. It was dark, it was quarter past seven, but he could see something. Two red dots. Something evil. Something staring at him.
"What the fu…" he started, but then the water exploded around him, and knew nothing more.
Nate screamed as the water exploded around Kevin, and something big, a shark maybe, a big fucking shark, bit down on Kevin, ripping half of his body off and taking it back into the water. The other half fell backwards, squirting blood everywhere. Nate grabbed his radio and hit the button.
"Hello?" Jared's voice answered.
"JARED! Get the fuck up here now!" Nate screamed, and the radio cut off as he heard a scream from the Jared's radio. Not soon after, Nate heard banging on the lid covering the stairway. Jared! Relieved, Nate ran over to the lid and lifted it up. Somebody was there, but it sure as hell wasn't Jared. It was a scientist. Thank God! Except this scientist was different. His skin was pale and clammy, looking like it was stretched tight over his skin. His right eye was missing, and he smelled like rotten fruit. God, that smell was bad.
"What the hell!" Nate screamed, and the man jumped on him, knocking him onto the steel floor of the landing platform.
"Get the fuck off!" he shouted at the man. The scientist groaned, and bit down hard on Nate's hand, drawing blood and taking off his pinky finger. Nate screamed and pushed the man off. Quickly getting to his feet and pulling out his 9mm handgun. He raised it and fired one, two three times. All three bullets nailed the man in the chest, but he just kept coming. Nate aimed lower and fired at the man's knee. He kept coming. Nate had one bulled left. He went to back up, but he was at the edge of the platform. He fired one last time, but the scientist kept coming.
The man grabbed Nate and bit into his neck, tearing apart his jugular, and Nate died as he and the creature fell into the icy cold water.
