Leon couldn't bring himself to let go of Sherry. He remembered promising Sherry that he would protect her from people like Steve. Now that the time had finally come for him to protect her, he could do nothing but sit around in Wesker's torture chamber. Sherry suddenly pulled out of Leon's grasp and gazed at him. He could see it in her eyes. The fright. The confusion. She probably had no clue why she was being kept locked up against her will.

"Why did he bring me here Leon," she asked, her eyes wondering over to Kevin and then Jill. "What is he going to do to us!" she yelled.

Leon felt horrible. Sherry didn't deserve this. It was killing him to see her so frightened. None of this wouldn't even be happening if they had finished umbrella off when they had the chance. Now they had no choice but to deal with umbrella corporation's crap once again.

"Sherry, calm down its going to be okay," Leon assured, putting a hand on her shoulder. She quickly pulled away from him, a confused expression forming on his face.

"I don't think its going to be okay Leon!" she yelled. "Look around! There's no way we're getting out of this one!" Leon stared at her, surprised by her use of words. She might've been young but she definitely knew how to speak like an adult.

"I don't want to be involved in this anymore! I just want a normal life!" She yelled once again. She turned away from him and crossed her arms in front of her.

"Do you think this is what I want for you Sherry," he began. "I want more then anything to give you a normal life."

Sherry stood with her back to Leon for a few seconds thinking about what he'd just said. She knew he cared about her a lot and she suddenly had the urge to hug him again but instead, she spun around and gazed at him.

"Where's Claire?" she asked, hoping that he knew. Leon lowered his eyes to the ground, hesitating before he answered. "I don't know."

Sherry's eyes wandered once again over to Kevin who looked sickly pale. She had no clue as to why Kevin and Jill were stuck in there too. What was Wesker up to this time? He was after her at the airport and she knew she wasn't hallucinating. Wesker was waiting for her when she stepped off the plane. Seeing him meant trouble and somehow she knew this whole plan to trap them in this place wasn't Steve's idea. Steve was dead before this and now, he's come back. It was almost sickening to think that Steve was dead before all of this but Wesker brought him back as another one of umbrella's madmen. Only someone like Wesker would pull that crap.

Sherry's thoughts were interrupted by the sound of loud, dry coughs. Leons eyes fell on Kevin. Kevin was definitely on the verge of death and what pissed him off was that he could do nothing about it. They were all going to rot down there unless Claire and Chris found them on time.

Leon made his way over to Kevin's side and knelt down, noticing that the veins running up his arms were now on his neck. He followed the veins down to his hands, looking for the spot where all of them began to form. Leon searched his palm and when he found nothing he turned it over. Without searching any furthur, he suddenly noticed a whole mass of dark looking veins on the back of his hand. There, in the midst of all the veins was a small bump, which indicated that he had been injected with some unknown substance. Leon quickly turned to Jill who jumped at his sudden movement.

"Jill, do you remember them giving you any type of injection?" he asked, her blank expression changing to confusion. "No...I don't remember," she replied. "Why are you asking me that?" Leon stood up and made his way toward Jill, the worst thoughts now crossing his mind. "Let me see your hands Jill," he demanded. "I told you I don't remember...," she trailed off when she lifted her hands and saw the veins. They were just beginning to form on the back of her hands.

"Oh my god," she whispered, as if someone would hear her. She brung her eyes up to Leon. "What's going to happen to me?"

Leon lowered his eyes to the ground. He knew exactly what was going to happen to her. Maybe Claire would find them before Kevin and Jill began to change. He hoped Claire came on time, not only for Kevin and Jill's sake, but for Sherry too. If Jill and Kevin turned before Claire found them, both Leon and Sherry would end up dying.

Claire stuffed her laptop in her backpack and shoved her handgun in the holster around her waist. They had stopped at her house before they headed towards the deep dark outskirts of Raccoon City. Claire had all the information she'd gotten on umbrella stored in her laptop and she didn't want to leave without it. She quickly hauled the backpack onto her back and made her way down the stairs to her front door. She pulled the door open and closed it behind her, quickly making her way to the car where the rest of the team sat waiting.

Barry brought his van, which was a good thing being that there were six people coming along for the investigation. Chris pulled the car door open as Claire hopped in. As the door was pulled shut Barry immediately started the car and took off, the vehicle riding along the road smoothly.

Claire could feel it in the pit of her stomach. Yes, she was a little nervous. She was afraid to see what she'd come across. She was afraid that she'd get there too late and Leon would already be dead. All of her fears were starting to come into mind but knowing that Chris was there to help her made her feel a little bit better. She gazed at him as he sat beside her, watching each house go by.

Everything seemed different now that umbrella was at it again. She felt so far away from her normal life. She could never tell any of her friends at the university or at work about her crazy experiences with the undead. She never went around telling everyone about her being taken to that prison off the coast of Rockfort Island. She knew it was better to keep her mouth shut and not bring too much attention to herself. She hated having to keep it locked up inside of her all the time.

Claire slightly shifted in her seat and leaned against Chris, her head resting on his shoulder. She had stayed up all night searching for Leon and she was exhausted. She couldn't stop thinking about what they might do to Leon or what they're planning to do to him. It bothered her all night and she just wanted to see him again. She just wanted to know that he was okay.

Once they were on the main streets, Barry began to pick up speed. The smooth steady movement was pretty relaxing. She could feel the heat from the small vents brushing against her face and it only made her more drowsy. She could feel her eyelids growing heavier as the warm air burst forth out of the vents. Her eyes slowly began to close. The sound of the wind brushing against the windows grew lighter and everyone in the car remained silent. All of her thoughts were finally set aside as she fell asleep against her brother's shoulder...

Claire's eyes shot open when she felt a chilling breeze brush against her cheek. She blinked a couple of times, trying to take in her surroundings. She suddenly realized that she wasn't in the car anymore. She looked up and caught sight of the moon. She quickly sat up and looked around her, a thousand frightening thoughts flowing through her mind. The ground beneath her was cold and solid. She slowly lifted herself off of the ground and looked around one more time. None of this seemed familiar and she wondered where Chris and the others had gone. She took a couple of steps forward, suddenly blinded by city lights and thats when she finally knew where she was. She was 16 stories off of the ground on top of a building. She knew she was back in Raccoon City but what she didn't understand was why they had gone back. Leon could've been dead by now.

She had no clue as to how she got up there. She didn't recall getting out of the car. In fact, she didn't even remember turning around and coming back to the city. She took a few more steps toward the edge and gasped when she realized how high up she was. She quickly turned away from the edge and searched for a way to get into the building and off of the balcony but strangely, there was nothing. She turned back toward the edge and nearly jumped out of her skin when she found Chris standing there in front of her.

"Damn it Chris!" she yelled, putting her hand over her heart. "You scared the hell out of me!" She looked up at him, a blank expression on his face.

"Where is everybody?" she asked, realizing that he looked worried.

"Everybody's dead," he responded, her heart skipping a beat just by hearing the words. She stared at him trying to take in what he had just said.

"What do you mean everybody's dead?" She asked, her worst fears once again coming to mind.

"He killed them Claire. He killed every one of them." She glanced behind him and realized how dangerously close to the edge he was.

"Who? Who killed them Chris?"

He was really starting to scare her. She had no idea what he was talking about. When she last saw everyone they were all fine. If someone had killed them, she would've known about it.

"Who did it Chris?" she asked once again.

"Him," he replied, pointing behind Claire. She spun around and came face to face with Kyle. She jumped up and quickly took a few steps backwards.

"So, the Redfield's finally found out who I am. Damn your good," Kyle said sarcastically.

"What did you do to them?"

"Their dead. Their all dead and soon, you'll both join them."

Kyle suddenly shoved Chris with all his might sending him over the edge.

"Chris!" Claire yelled, desperately calling out to him. She quickly took a few steps toward the edge, praying that her brother hadn't fallen to his death. Once she realized that he was hanging onto the edge she reached out to grab his hand.

"Chris, grab my hand!" she yelled, as she watched him struggle to keep his tight grip. He reached up, his finger tips nearly touching Claire's until Kyle grabbed Claire by the arm and spun her around.

"I'm sorry it had to be this way Claire," he said, watching as her eyes widened with fear. He then shoved her, sending her plunging over the edge. As she went over the edge she prayed that it wasn't real. She couldn't die. She couldn't let Kyle get away with this. It wasn't meant to be. she wanted to bring umbrella down and now she was going to die a complete failure.
