Chapter 5: A farewell to Ada.
Chris spent hours at the station, looking for any clues to Wesker's whereabouts. He knew he couldn't go inside the Umbrella building, or he would have suffered a fate worse than death. He looked at his watch which read a quarter to two and just about had it. Leon never showed and he was getting nowhere with his search. Finally something on the computer screen showed up and revealed a house nine miles away from the city. It was a long shot but Chris had to take it. He printed the page out with the directions and just about when he was going to leave he felt a hand grab his shoulder and Chris jumped in fear.
"Take it easy man, it's only me." Leon said. "Man, this prescient is dark. Reminds me of the R.P.D. station and it gives me the creeps."
"You scared the shit out of me, what's wrong with you? Where have you been, I told Claire to tell you to meet here hours ago."
"I was doing some research of my own. I figured if Wesker is here, his little agent in a red dress can't be far behind. Turns out I was right."
"Who are you talking about?"
"Remember a while back I told you about this woman named Ada Wong?"
"Yeah, you said you encountered her in Raccoon, but you told me she was shot and fell to her death."
"That's what I thought. Imagine my surprise during my mission to save the President's daughter that she was still alive."
"What does she have to do with Umbrella?"
"Last I saw her; she took the Las Plagas sample most likely to Wesker. She's an agent for him, and he sends her to do most of his dirty work."
"So if she works for Wesker, what makes you think she'll cooperate with any of us?"
"She won't, at least not to you or the rest but with me she will. For some reason we're tied to a mysterious chain that can't be broken. There's a sense of trust, so I'm going to go to her tonight to see what I can find."
"Alright, sounds good. I found a house nine miles from here. I think it might be Wesker's. Give me the directions to her house, if you need help call me."
"Thanks, I'll keep that in mind. Claire gave me the directions to your cabin so when I find out something I'll let you know there."
"Okay, let's get going."
Chris followed his directions closely and finally came across the house. A two-story Victorian-like home. Chris took out his gun and found that the front door was unlocked.
"Thanks for the invitation." Chris said to himself.
It was too dark to see anything clearly. Some rooms were lit by the moonlight but it wasn't enough and Chris had to use his flashlight. He searched from room to room and couldn't find a thing to stop Wesker from fully re-establishing Umbrella. Then, he came across Wesker's office where he saw several screens monitoring activates inside the Umbrella building.
"Do you have a search warrant officer?"
Chris quickly turned around and fired a bullet at Wesker, but it was caught with lighting speed and crushed.
"Well Chris, is that any way to greet your captain?"
"I think you abandoned that title a long time ago."
"My, my, still holding grudges I see. I have to say I didn't expect you to be a resident in LA, in fact I'm surprised you crawled out of your little hole at all."
Wesker walked over to his desk.
"Why re-establish Umbrella? You're the one who decided to betray them."
"Very true, but I'm sure you heard my speech?"
"Yeah, very nice even if it was a pack of lies."
"Lies, what do you mean?" Wesker asked sarcastically.
"You know what I mean; you were under Umbrella's payroll since you were 18. You were one of their top researchers along with your pal Birkin. Oh, and your so-called beloved mentor, you had him assassinated."
"I'm impressed, all is correct except for one detail. I did assassinate Dr. Marcus it's true, but it wasn't my idea. Birkin and I were under orders from Spencer to do it. When a company you help start is making billions of dollars hands over fist, you tend to get a little greedy."
"Is that what you are, greedy?"
"I just want what was rightfully mine. Ashford had his moment but the old basterd died too soon, Marcus had his chance but of course Spencer wanted the glory for himself, and then of course Spencer had the chance but because of his mistakes our lovely government shut him down and gave him a double life sentence. So now it's my turn and I will succeed where those three failed."
"You're insane."
"Chris, what else is new? Would you like a drink?"
Chris looked confused at the gesture and nodded a no.
"Wesker, I won't let it happen again! Too many lives were lost the first time."
"I'm right here Chris, try to kill me if you can."
Chris went to point his gun at Wesker, but Wesker with great speed tackled Chris sending him crashing on the wall. Wesker picked up Chris' gun and stomped it to pieces.
"You never learn."
Wesker walked up to Chris and grabbed him by the throat and lifted him with one hand.
"I despise you Chris. I know your friends are plotting something against me. You think you could save the world? You can't even save yourself."
Chris was running out of time as Wesker tighten his grip. As a final resort Chris reached to his back and pulled out the combat knife from its holster and stabbed Wesker in the side causing him to drop Chris and scream in pain.
"Fuck, it's been a while since I've felt pain."
Wesker turned around as Chris slashed the right side of his face and saw this as a getaway.
Wesker looked outside his window and saw Chris get in his car and drive off. Wesker was holding his face and side which were dripping blood. He paid it no mind and he sat in front of his computer monitors to look for anything wrong or suspicious in his building. One screen caught his eye. He set up cameras around Ada's house and saw Leon at her front door.
"I knew she would betray me sooner or later. This is the thanks I get for saving her life. Oh well, everyone has to die sometime."
Wesker dialed an extension.
"Yes sir?"
"Dispatch our special weapons to Ms. Wong's house."
"Sir, are you sure?"
"Yes, they're intelligent and will take care of this task."
"Of course, right away sir."
Leon rang Ada's doorbell and after a few seconds she answered. She was wearing a long red silk robe.
"Leon? How am I not surprised? I expected you to show up sooner or later."
"Sorry to wake you Ada, but can I come in?"
"Of course, make yourself at home."
"Ada listen I'll get straight to the point. Did you give the sample Wesker."
"Maybe, maybe not. Is this about Umbrella being re-establised?"
"Of course it is. Why would you help Wesker, you were a victim of Umbrella remember?"
"Yeah, I do, but I need to make a living I just did fir the paycheck. Why are you so worried? I told I would take good care of it."
"Knowing you that could mean anything."
"Don't worry, Wesker won't get far. I said I would take care of it and I did."
"What are you talking about?"
"You'll see."
As they talked, several things was moving outside, giving low growls and moving silently. The creatures moved closer to the house and one let out a loud shriek as Ada and Leon heard it.
"Shit! We've got trouble, come on."
Ada and Leon ran, and Ada opened her closet which her full of guns.
"What the hell?"
"Always have to be prepared."
"No kidding."
Ada gave Leon a shotgun while she took a colt python and took extra rounds. One creature tore open the door and yelled a loud shriek.
"Hunters!" Ada said in a terrified voice. The deadly bipedal reptilian-like creature was ready to tear the two apart with its large claws and teeth. Leon and Ada ran as Leon shot at it which knocked it down but it immediately got back up. More Hunters busted through the windows.
"Goddamn it, he sent Sweepers too."
"Sweepers?"
"They're like the Hunters except poisonous."
"We have to fight our way out."
"I have a backdoor in the basement; we just leave through there, go up the stairs, and run to your car."
One Hunter jumped and knocked Leon down and was about to slash Leon's head off when he put the shotgun in its mouth and fired, blowing half of its head off.
"Leon come on!" Ada yelled while shooting her way through. The Hunters and Sweepers were using their agility to block their way but were met with bullets. Leon saw he was clear and quickly took out his cell phone.
"What are you doing?"
"Hold on! Chris, listen I'm in trouble I hurry over here now!"
Leon and Ada ran downstairs and headed for the door. When Ada opened it a Sweeper was waiting and slashed her down her body, killing her. Leon screamed in anger and repeatedly shot it until it let out a dying growl. He looked at Ada's body and couldn't believe it, Umbrella was doing it again, and now it was personal for him. More Hunters and Sweepers came down and surrounded Leon. He got ready to accept death when at the corner of his eye he saw a flash grenade fly in the room and covered his eyes and ran out as the flash of light blinded the monsters.
"Get in the car, hurry!"
Chris threw more explosive grenades in the house and ran. After a few seconds they exploded killing the creatures and destroying most of the house. They drove off.
"What the hell just happened?" Chris asked
"The Hunters just came out of nowhere I guess Wesker sent them."
"Jesus that guy knows everything. You find out anything?"
"All she said was she took care of it, whatever that mean."
Chris saw Leon's distress and knew exactly what happened,
"I'm sorry man, we'll get him, somehow."
"Just make sure I get a free shot."
"You'll get it I promise. We all will."
They drove towards Chris' cabin where the rest were waiting. Wesker saw what happened on his screen and smiled.
"One less rat to worry about."
He went to the bathroom and looked at his wounds. They we're almost healed and stopped bleeding.
"Your dead Chris, You've been lucky so far, but sooner or later I will rip your head right off your shoulders."
