Epilogue: Our Dreams End the Struggle, Right?

"Holy shit! You mean Umbrella is responsible?"

Trudie nods and replies, "And you were worried about them overpricing aspirin. Now, tell me, what is your plan to stop Umbrella?"

The woman shakes her head and says, "Well, after this new turn of events, it seems so futile. Well, I guess we go to plan B."

Trudie smiles and says, "I got one better. A full frontal assault on the lab in Arizona."

The woman cocks her head to the side and says, "Why Arizona? Their main base is in Paris."

Trudie smiles and replies, "Their medicinal HQ is in Paris, the virology HQ is in Paris. If I still had my laptop, I'd show you the files I read. And as for the full frontal assault, we are going to need a few favors, and I know just the people. When do we dock?"

The woman frowns and says, "We're bound for Alaska. We dock in about three hours. We got coats down below. Exactly how did the oilrig fall like it did?"

Trudie coughs a few times and replies, "We fought one of their creations on one of the helipads and it destroyed the pad, which I guess unbalanced the rig. Anyone got a cell-phone?"

Three phones are shoved into her face and she takes one, then walks out, "Excuse me, this is private."

As Trudie walks out, the woman slaps all three men, "Assholes."

--

Trudie walks through the halls of the small ship and dials a number, then cradles the phone between her neck and right shoulder.

The phone rings for a second and then a voice says, "Military Division Florida."

Trudie smiles and says, "Hey Jonah, this is Trudie. Is Primus around?"

Jonah sighs and says, "Yeah, let me get him."

Trudie leans against the wall and places her left foot against it.

She hums to herself and stands straight up as Primus comes over the line, "Report Private Clark."

Trudie smiles and says, "We've investigated and come up with one conclusion, Umbrella's responsible. They had a lab under the rig, and they were performing some kind of virus research. And they're dead, Krueger, Brian, and Ben are all dead. If you've seen what we've seen, you wouldn't be able to sleep. Oh, I called for a favor."

Primus doesn't answer, it seems as though he's not at the phone.

After a while he responds, "Excellent report, where are you?"

Trudie arches an eyebrow, this is not like her commanding officer. He asks again and she replies, "Near ground zero."

Primus is quick to talk this time, "Stay there, I'll send Aspect to get you."

Aspect? I thought they were suspended. Hmm, something doesn't seem right about this.

She keeps the thought and replies, "I'm on a boat, and we're heading for port in California. How soon can they get to us?"

Primus sighs and says, "We can get to you in three hours, and tell Donnelly I want to see him in my office as soon and you get here."

AHA! I knew it! You didn't hear a damn word I said. And THAT scares me. Wait, how did he know about our mission? No one but us four knew about it.

"Um, sir, how did you know about our mission?"

Primus nearly chokes and replies, "Jonah told me. Now, where will you be docking?"

His replies are rushed by now, so Trudie says, "San Francisco."

Primus says something, then hangs up on her.

She closes the phone and leans her head on the wall, "You lying bastard. I'm glad we're going to Alaska. Fuck!"

The woman comes around the corner and asks, "Everything ok?"

Trudie nods and replies, "Yeah, but it'll take a year or four to get the forces we need to take down Umbrella."

--

"This is your captain speaking, we will be landing at Little Rock Airport soon, please return all tray backs to their upright and locked position. And notice that the Fasten Seatbelts sign is lit. I hope you enjoyed your flight."

Aya leans her chair back up and sighs loudly, "Great, now I can get back to taking HCF and Umbrella down. And trust me Sean, you'll like my friends."

Sean yawns and replies, "I bet I will, but look over there."

Aya follows his finger and says, "Oh shit. He was here all along?"

Aya reaches over the aisle and says, "Hey asshole."

The man turns around and says, "Hey! When did you get on this flight?"

Aya smiles and says, "You couldn't stand to see us go, could you Barry?"

Their favorite taxi-driver smiles and says, "Yeah, that's right. I really missed you that much. I actually got my ticket yesterday."

Aya sighs in relief and asks, "Can you keep Sean for a while? I got to get situated, then I'll be back for him."

Barry nods and retorts, "You sure you can trust someone you haven't known for more than an hour?"

Aya leans in close and says, "If you want children of your own, you'll keep this kid safe. If you hurt him, then it's 'Snip Snip'."

Barry gulps and replies, "Yes ma'am, I'll take care of him like he's my own. How long?"

Aya smiles and replies, "No more than a week. And make sure you keep the refrigerator fully-stocked, he loves to eat."

Barry nods and says, "Can do. Am I taking him as soon as we land?" Aya nods as the pressure in the plane shifts slightly.

Now, to figure out what to do with the kid after I pick him up from Barry's...

--

Trudie stares at the ocean as salt hits her face. She watches a dolphin jump into the air and fall back in, leaving a few ripples in the water. She turns and closes her eyes as she turns to face the setting sun. She looks overhead and spots a helicopter flying over her.

Primus, you lied again.

She walks toward the stairs and one of the men grabs her arm, "Come here."

She tries to pull her arm free, but there is a hint of desperation in his voice and grip. They walk left of the stairs and into a small radio-booth.

She follows him in and sits down in a chair, "What do you want?"

The man leans down in front of her and says, "Miss, we have a problem. It arose from that copter that just went overhead."

Trudie stares out the window as the copter lands right outside, "They're here for you Miss Trudie."

Trudie nods and says, "Ok... Aspect is here..."

The man looks at her and replies, "Aspect? No, no, they are our people, they'll help you get the men you need for the frontal assault on the Umbrella HQ in Arizona. The problem is, they need your ID."

Trudie frowns and asks, "My ID? What for?"

The man stares at her again and says, "They need to know if you're really you. Oh, I meant your ID number. They want to check out your military service record."

Trudie nods and says, "FG4754-H657P. And make sure they remove anything they come across. I just figured out the military was bought by Umbrella. Wait, aw shit, forgot what I was thinking. Ok, I'll go, where they taking me?"

The man smiles and replies, "San Francisco."

Trudie's blood runs cold, "Aw shit on wheat toast...You know that are going to get me killed, right?"

The man hangs his head and softly replies, "Sorry..."

She punches him in the arm playfully and he screams, "OW! That hurt!"

Trudie smiles and says, "Now it's my turn to be sorry. I was just trying to cheer you up. I'll be ok, I promise."

A knock on the door ends her struggle, but begins another one.

And it all comes down to this.

--

Aya, Sean, and Barry walk out into the street and Aya notices a red car parked across the street, "That's my ride. Bye guys."

Sean hugs Aya and says, "Bye Miss Aya."

Barry shakes her hand and says, "See you in a while."

Aya nods and they part ways, aya's glance stuck at the red car, and then a gloved hand waves out, "There you are."

She knows it's him, as he's the only one who could have those burnt and torn fingerless gloves.

I love that bastard.

She walks across the street and hops in, then a cold barrel is placed against her head, "Move, say anything, and I'll kill you."

Aya frowns and asks, "How did you get his gloves?"

The voice replies, "We ransacked your house. Now, shut up, bitch. HCF wants you alive, but I don't."

Aya growls and tries to grab the gun, but two more are pointed at her face.

"You'll be good or your boyfriend gets it."

She shuts up, for now, and thinks, No, you'll be the ones who get it. He's got a fully armed M79 in his backpack, and he really isn't afraid to use it.

She smiles at the thought of the grenade-ravaging lunatic she survived Isle Eras with and the car takes off, leading her to HCF-country.

Give them hell. And you poor bastards.

The car rounds a corner, and then she is knocked unconscious.

Thirty minutes later...

Aya awakens to see a not so friendly face, "Hello, Dr. Akechi. I see you are alive..."

Aya lifts her leg and knees him in the groin.

His face contorts and he groans, "And well.. OW!"

He squeals the last one and falls over, leaving Aya with a satisfied grin on her face.

"Take that, you mutated, son-of-a-bitch."

She stares at the badge on his belt, which reads, 'Agent Thomas Weidick.'

She frowns and says, "That bitch is still alive, HOLY SHIT!"

Well, ok, I don't know what to say, besides I just left myself open for two stories. One, Evanescent Memories, and Two, End Game II: High Tide. Yes, I somehow managed to intertwine every single story into this one. I can say I am downright pleased with how this story came out. Now review, and maybe, just maybe, I'll get EM going. Oh, and so sincerely sorry that I left Trudie with a big cliffhanger, but all will be filled in in EM. CoRpAsItE
