Resident Evil Rebirth
Chapter 13: Secrets and Suspicions
(Residence Courtyard)
Jill Valentine was feeling a little better by the time Chris and her had reached the courtyard that was just beyond the swimming pool walkway. A large waterfall was there and just as Jill suspected it was from the pool, it was going around recycling. Jill figured that something had to be hidden behind it but the only way to get rid of that waterfall would be to reactivate that other elevator which was missing a battery. With it active she could go back to where Forest and her had battled that monster, return the pool to normal and take the elevator back down. But they still needed a battery.
Jill didn't really care about this right now, she just wanted to get to this guest house that Chris spoke of and meet up with the others. Edward would find something out as he had already proven himself very resourceful, she didn't need to worry about him as long as he had his wits about him. She just hoped that she would find the others and a way out of this crazy place. She was still worried though, after that monster took so much she doubted that a falling cabin would keep it down.
Chris held her hand as they slowly walked by a pair of sleeping guard dogs that still seemed to be normal and not effected by this strange plague that was going on. Jill could only assume that it only effected the dead. Jill had secured Forest's Grenade Launcher and had a total of eighteen rounds for it, this ment she had three reloads for it. She had found a backpack that she had dropped her shotgun in so it wouldn't slow her down by getting tangled with the grenade launcher.
Suddenly a transmission came over the radio that was attached to Chris's belt, he was in front so he tossed it to Jill who caught it. The voice wasn't exactly a relief as it belonged to Brad Vickers "Can anybody hear me? Please respond!" Jill hit the sending button "This is Jill. Brad where have you been!" Brad didn't exactly respond with an answer. Brad's voice quivered "Hello? Alpha Team. Bravo Team. It doesn't matter respond..." suddenly the radio went dead.
Jill sighed as she let it fall to her side "Shit. The damned thing's broken." she cursed under her breath. She soon realized that they had arrived at the front door to the residence where Chris had sent Rebecca and the others. He took back the radio and slipped it back onto his belt. Jill brought up her magnum which still had three shots left in it while Chris held up his shotgun. At the count of three they both made their move and kicked open the door aiming around as they rushed in.
They found nothing that could be considered a threat as they walked in closing the door behind them. Chris and Jill slowly moved into the house holding their weapons up ready for anything. The first door they came across was marked room 001 and it seemed to be locked up pretty well. Jill looked at the lock finding it to be one she couldn't just pick, she suggested that they try the door at the end of the hall. Chris nodded giving Jill cover as she walked ahead. She could hear thumping sounds on the other side of the room and brought up the grenade launcher.
She opened the door finding nothing. They were in a room that was obviously a wreak room as it contained a bar down a flight of stairs and a closed in pool room. Chris suddenly heard the sounds again but couldn't find where they were coming from, it could be air in the plumbing for all they knew. Chris then noticed something hanging on the wall across from the doorway. He walked over to it lifting it off it's latches. He couldn't believe his luck, it was an Umbrella Chemical Flame-thrower, the tank was full and it was ready at a moments notice.
Suddenly Jill heard the thumping sound again and it was coming from above, she looked up and gasped falling back from what she saw. A large spider, not just any spider. Jill didn't ever think that spiders came the size of cattle but there was no denying it. A spider at least eight feel long and five feet wide was directly above her moving down to the floor. The horrible smell of it's venom flowed into her nostrils and she woke up from her trance. She quickly rolled away from the door as it fired a spray of poison at her. She watched in horror as the venom burned through the doorway.
Jill quickly jumped to the side pulling up her grenade launcher "Chris! Watch out!" she screamed. Chris quickly turned to see this horrible monster looking right at him with it's several red eyes. Chris quickly brought up his new weapon and aimed it at the monster but found that the tip needed to be lit before it could be used. He dropped it not wanting to waste such a useful weapon and grabbed his shotgun. Jill took aim with her grenade launcher "Chris get down!" she yelled.
Chris wasn't one to complain as he quickly jumped past the spider and away from the blast radius. Jill fired the grenade launcher sending a smoking shell into the monster's large body which exploded on impact. The spider screeched but didn't die as it simply stepped out of its two destroyed legs. Chris not knowing what else to do brought up his shotgun and blasted the spider in it's large rear. It exploded suddenly sending it's acid everywhere but Chris wasn't hit, his good luck was still paying off.
Jill lowered the launcher as Chris reloaded his shotgun, he had around twenty-four shells remaining. He looked up to her "Jill are you okay?" she was looking behind Chris who was standing near another wall. He slowly placed his hand on the handle of the shotgun. Jill spoke "Peachy. Behind you." Chris dropped the shotgun over his shoulder and fired. Another spider exploded from the impact and fell to the ground. Chris chuckled and kicked it.
Valentine rushed over to Chris looking at the monsters completely freaked out, she hated spiders! Chris scoffed "Well that would seem pretty strange on any normal day wouldn't it." he stated as he started moving down the stairs to the bar. He brought up his handgun slapping a clip of 9mm parabellum into it which was still pretty useful, he and Jill both still had plenty of ammo left.
Chris gasped as he looked behind the bar to find somebody hiding in the shadows holding a shotgun. Jill ran forward jumping over the bar "Joseph! Are you all right?" she asked as she checked his wound which was a simple scratch from that V-ACT. Joseph held up his hand "I'm fine. Just waiting for the others to come in. Richard and Becca are somewhere else around here. By the way I found some keys." he gave Jill a key that was to rooms 001, 002 and 003.
Chris got behind the counter and helped him up "You don't look so well. Where is Rebecca?" he asked as Joseph got to his feet. Joseph just picked up his shotgun and looked to Chris "She said she was gonna scout around. Guess I should have stayed in the drug room. It's at the entrance across from room 001." Chris looked to him telling him that he should probably go with Jill and find out just what is going on.
Joseph Frost got to his feet and pointed to the door "Barry is somewhere around here. I heard that magnum of his going off down the hall somewhere. Richard followed them but hasn't reported back yet. You should follow them." he stood up and walked up the stairs "I'm gonna go back to the medical room and see if I can make some flares with the chemicals that are laying around. Wish me luck." he left the room.
Chris looked to Jill as he was given the keys that Frost had handed over "No more splitting up unless we have to Jill. Every time we do somebody gets hurt or dies. Plus that monster you spoke of may still be lurking around." Jill nodded as she walked to the bar. She walked behind the bar and started searching around. Chris looked at her "What are you doing, Jill?" he asked as he leaned against the bar noticing a strange book. He picked it up finding it to read "Bandage with Blood-part 1" it was red and seemed to have strange metal strips on the back and front covers.
Jill looked up as she placed a bottle of mineral water on the bar and opened it "I'm dying of thirst here and after all we've been through we deserve a drink." Chris scoffed as he picked up his shotgun taking the second bottle of water. He started out of the room "I'm gonna check out that locked room really quick. I'll be back in a few minutes." Jill motioned for him to go on between drinks of the bottle. He smiled and walked out, but not before setting the two dead spiders ablaze.
(Room 001 Head Researcher's Room. Quest Residence)
Rebecca Chambers. The medic from Bravo Team sat on the bed that was in the room. She had everything from the front door of the house, the battle and the death of Forest Speyer. Two of her teammates had died so far and there was nothing she could do, she felt like continuing the legacy of this room in which she sat. The room that she had already dubbed "The Room Of Resting Peace." as a note she had found insisted.
Two bodies were in the room, one was hanging from the doorway with a noose around his neck. It was a nice clean death as his suicide note suggested, he couldn't stand the thought of becoming one of those things and decided to break his neck and prevent himself from adding to their number, wanting to at least die human. Rebecca had also found another body on the floor who held a small firearm. She recognized it as a self-defense handgun. It was an antique just like in Barry's collection.
Rebecca looked at it as it rested in her hand: A .22 Double Dillinger. It would hold two rounds in it and it seemed only one remained as the holder off it had shot himself in the head. Rebecca brought the tiny weapon to her head and was about to pull the trigger when suddenly she opened her eyes and through it across the room. She fell back against the head board grabbing her head "Get a grip on yourself, Becca! Your not going to be weak! Not after all you have been through!" she yelled at herself narrowing her eyes.
Suddenly the door opened and she jumped behind the bed quickly pulling out both her Colt SAA and Beretta and waiting for some sign it was a monster. She suddenly heard a gasp of surprise and looked from her shelter to see Chris looking up at the hanging man. He looked ill just because of the sight of the man that was hanging by his neck just inches from the floor. He went for his knife and cut the man down dropping him with a thunk, Chris then angrily kicked him in the side "God, that is the last thing I needed to see." he said between breaths.
Rebecca sprang up suddenly at the sight of Chris and rushed over to him "Rebecca! What are you doing hiding in here?" he asked with concern. Rebecca sighed at hearing this "I wasn't hiding I just needed a quiet place to think. Thats all." Chris patted her on the shoulder causing her to look up at him.
He smiled at her telling her it was okay but he needed to find Richard. Rebecca really didn't know for sure "I can't be sure but he said he was gonna investigate down the hall. I'm gonna hook up with Joseph and tell him about Forest." she said slightly silencing the last part. Chris was astounded that she knew then she explained that she had heard Jill's screams from the house. She turned as she walked out of the room bending down to pick up the self defense gun "I'm glad your still okay." she left the room.
Chris followed her out stopping her "Joseph said that he would be okay but I could use some back up. We should try to find Jill and Barry. I'm sure they're around here somewhere." Rebecca brought up her Beretta. She then saluted "Yes sir." she said with enthusiasm. And with that they were headed down the hall
(Second Hallway, Near Room 002-Residence)
Jill Valentine walked down the hall holding her powerful shotgun ready for anything. She saw her destination "Room 002. I'd better go back and get those keys from Chris." she said as she turned from the door but was stopped by an unknown sound. She could have sworn they were voices and moved closer placing her back against the wall that was next to the door.
She couldn't make out what they were talking about but could make out keywords "No. That wasn't part of this deal." one voice said, that was the only complete sentence she heard as it was shouted. She could only make out a few words in the next few sentences and tell that they were talking about STARS, a family, destroy, monsters and something about destroying evidence.
Meanwhile through the door the speaking was going on (Just for all you who haven't played the game yet). One voice spoke "No that wasn't part of our deal!" Barry said. He held a radio in his hands with headphones over his ears for some reason "But it's not necessary to destroy STARS." he was told by the next voice not to be so difficult. Barry sighed "What about my family?" he asked. He was guaranteed that they would be taken care of by the voice over the radio "As long as I play my cards right and continue to destroy evidence. God I'm sorry." he muttered as the radio went dead.
Jill had no idea who was talking as the words were being whispered. Suddenly Jill heard footsteps from behind her and looked up to see Chris and Rebecca coming toward her. Chris stopped looking up at the door seeing the number "Door trouble? Here." he handed her the correct key and Jill without even thanking Chris dashed in. Barry held a report in his hands and a lighter in the next but quickly dropped the report on a bed covered in newspapers as the door opened.
He watched as Jill Valentine walked in her shotgun over her shoulder followed by none other than Chris Redfield and Rebecca Chambers. Barry turned to her "Jill. Chris. You guys are okay." he said as he slowly slipped the lighter in his pocket. Jill didn't seem to be very steady as she started to speak "Barry. I heard voices from in here." she said. Chris looked at Barry strangely telling Rebecca to go back outside and cover the room.
Barry Burton still with his magnum in his hand walked around "Oh. You heard. Maybe old age is taking it's toll on me. Talking to myself is becoming a bad habit." he muttered hoping she would buy it. Jill stepped forward "Talking to yourself? Are you all right?" Barry shook his head "Probably not. And this creepy mansion isn't doing much for me. Maybe I'll go outside, get some fresh air and blast a few of those monster along the way." he headed for the doorway.
As he tried to reach the door Chris grabbed his shoulder "Barry." he said simply as to ask him what was up. Barry turned to Chris finding it hard to speak "It's okay. Just gonna go get some fresh air. Maybe I'll run into that monster along the way." he muttered the last part as he walked out not talking about anything they had seen more to the point a person. Chris scratched his head "What was that all about." he asked himself leaning back against a bookshelf.
Suddenly the shelf moved under his weight and fell back. Chris quickly jumped off as it suddenly vanished, following this disappearance was a splintering crunch. Jill ran to his side to find that a large hole was behind the bookshelf. Jill patted his shoulder "Nice detective work Chris." she said jokingly. Chris got up and called Rebecca back into the room. Chris could see the humidity that had been building around the ladder that lead down. His unshouldered his flame-thrower and dropped it on the bed knowing it wouldn't do much good.
Rebecca went down first followed by Chris. Jill was skeptic about Barry's behavior just now and slowly picked the report off the bed. She dropped it in her backpack only seeing it was on something called Plant 42 and followed her teammates.
(Outside the Residence)
Barry Burton angrily stepped out of the residence as he slammed the door as hard as he could. This caused Joseph Frost to jump in the next room quickly going for his shotgun, he continued working after about a minute of waiting. Barry punched the side of the old wooden building breaking a hole in it exposing the insulation foam. He dropped back against the rock wall that was to the side of the building.
He held his head as if in guilt "Your a liar Barry. Your actually listening to him and putting the others in danger. But...Kathy. The angels." he muttered. It hurt him Jill was one of the best he had ever worked with and he wouldn't be able to carry it out with her easily. But Chris. Chris had been one of his best friends since they met several years ago. He was like a much younger brother to Barry and everything. Why did he have to do this, why did he have to be pinned for this, why him? That was his only question.
But then again forced betrayal and fighting feelings is all part of Survival Horror...
