"This is just great." Kevin Raymond mused while watching one of his companions, Rebecca Chambers struggled while the lid of her cardboard box which had been taped down by several inches of masking tape. Finally it hit the floor after she had decided to use her knife and pulled out a huge gun.

After a few seconds she spoke up. "… A grenade launcher…" Now that wasn't fair, he just gets a first aid spray while she get a grenade launcher. "That will go nicely with my handgun and survival knife." Okay, now she was just taunting him.

He just sighed mentally and turned his attention to the greying hand poking around the corner while ignoring Chris tear the lid of his 'shoe box'. Strangely enough, it wasn't there anymore. Realisation hit him a few seconds later just as a female zombie leapt around the corner and onto a wide-eyed Chris before he could even utter an 'eep'. Just before it could even bite him though, which it was very close to, he shot it in the head and Chris threw it off him and onto the floor.

He didn't even receive one word of gratitude for him though, even though Claire did send him a thankful look. Then again Chris had been busy taking in the condition of the hallway, then dashed up a pair of stairs ahead of him with Claire close behind, leaving him and Rebecca behind. And it's not like they could follow them either since five, yes, five zombies jumped in the way of the stairs as in a futile attempt to catch them.

"Ah damnit…" He mumbled while taking in the hallway, not good at all. Thankfully they both had quick reflexes and basically dived into the door behind them while shooting the odd zombie who was teetering to close for comfort, slammed the door shut and shoved a metal bar across the door. No lights where on so they couldn't see very well, unfortunately that did include the stairs right in front of them.

Slowly and very carefully, they placed one hand on the wall by the right of them as a guide and began to descend. They could just make out the outlines of many machines in the darkness.

"I think we're in the power generator room…" Rebecca mumbled quietly while Kevin hand brushed against something.

"I guess…" he mumbled as he pressing down on the round object, making it slid down and the back-up generator start to spin. "Heh, talk about blind luck."

"More like dumb luck…" he managed to catch Rebecca mutter under her breath as he pulled a switch down, making the lights go on while he glared at her. In the centre of the room was a mass of metal pipes surround two huge generators, the smaller one was spinning, and placed in the right hand corner of the room was a small window.

The banging noises coming from the door was a good motive for them, they quickly reached to the window in no time flat. "I'll go first okay, Rebecca?" she just nodded in response and gave him a boost up the window, which he pushed open and slid onto a snowy floor. It was snowing again outside and quite heavily too, he instantly noticed as he slid out and pulled a nervous Rebecca out from the window and into the cold night air of the blizzard they where in.

"Thanks." He just managed to hear her grunt out from all the wind swirling around them in and trying to preserve body heat. Next time he would wear a fur jacket like Leon instead of his RPD uniform. Then again, Rebecca's STARS uniform was even worse at keeping out the cold than his!

"So… cold… need… fire!" He was off like a rabbit on crack at the sight of the raging inferno inside a huge hanger to the left labelled 1, Rebecca was slightly ahead of him. Ruined machinery and bits of rubble lay on the floor as they rushed towards the biggest fire, one coming from a ruined tank, put there partially numb arms out near it and let out simultaneous sighs of relief. He eyed a ruined set of double doors straight ahead of them, must lead back to the main hall "heh, no of getting back there for now." An awkward silence fell over them.

"Say, where do you think Chris and Claire are now?" Rebecca asked him after a while, eyeing a few bodies lying on the floor and a smoulder helicopter in the corner of the room.

"No clue really, but I guessing there somewhere upstairs." He mumbled while looking a bullet-ridden tank near him. "Do you think that still works?"

"Even if the internal machinery still works the petrol is most likely frozen solid." She mumbled in response while giving the tank a quick glance.

"I surpose…" he mumbled while going over to inspect a jeep lying in the corner of the room. Just as he removed a steel bar over the wreck he noticed something behind it:

A door.

"What do we have here?" He said out loud while trying to push the wreckage out of the door's path which had severe burn marks on it. It didn't even budge. "Hey Rebecca I think I found something which may be of use."

She just tilted her head in his direction and let out an irritated "What?" in response.

He let out a grin and said slowly: "I've found a door." That got her attention…

"Really?" she jogged over to his side while he pointed to the wreckage beside him.

"Yeah but we have to move this first, okay?" she nodded and put her hands on the jeep. "Okay now! Heave!" very slowly, they managed shift the wreckage and opened the door very cautiously with there guns pointed directly in front of them.

Nothing, it was completely devoid of life, except for themselves.

Slowly, they cautiously lowered their guns as they took in every detail of the room with careful persition. Somehow they had stumbled into the military reception office.

The room was a mess could have been one way of putting it. Scattered paper's littered the floor of the room and the reception desk, which basically bare apart from a spilt coffee mug. To the left side of the room was a huge dark-red leather sofa next to a coffee machine and a mini-fridge, along with a table. Several coffee mugs where placed along with a TV which was off and bullet hole in the screen. "Coffee still warm." Kevin thought then downed the whole thing in one gulp. "Ah, slightly cold decaf, my favourite."

"hmmm…" Rebecca mumbled while pressing the power button to the TV, which was working surprisingly, despite having a bullet in the centre of the screen. It had tuned into the international news channel, where the news readers where looking rather bored.

"…And the president of the united states has called in an emergency meeting with the umbrella board to discuss weither or not the rumours that it wasn't a radiation leak in Racoon city." He shuffled the papers in front of him. "More on that story later, In Later news the…" The rest of it was drowned out by three loud voices coming from somewhere nearby and the sound of footsteps coming from the other side of the door.

"… That was disturbing, you know that right?" they just managed to make out, despite being severely muffled.

"Even I have to agree with him dear sister, that was very sickening."

"Oh, just shut up, the both of you! I can't help the way my T-veronica forms look! I originally injected it to obtain ultimate power, not to win beauty contests!" at this, both Kevin and Rebecca quickly glanced at each other and dived behind the reception office desk just as the door opposite to the one they used was opened. To bad he couldn't see anything from behind the reception desk.

They could hear one of the males chuckling as they entered the room from behind the reception desk. "You got that right."

"… Be thankful that I owe you Cooper, I've killed people who have made far lesser of an insult to me." one of them slammed the door shut behind them.

"…"

"Anyway, I've shut off the heaters that prevent the lake from freezing over in winter, pretty soon it will be completely frozen over." This one sounded weird.

"Excellent, I'm not taking the risk of either Wesker, Brikin or that traitorous Steve escaping with my virus." The female of the three let out a small crackle, then abruptly stopped and began to sniff the air for something. "Okay… which one of you is wearing the tacky cologne?"

One of them let out a snort of indignation. "Don't look at me like that, I haven't put any on in two days!"

"Well don't look at me either, I only buy the best when I do!"

"Oh well, I guess it doesn't matter." They began there walking and was out of the room in a couple of seconds, leaving a disgruntled Kevin and a rather pale Rebecca.

"Who they hell where those three?" He muttered while eyeing the pale Rebecca and sniffing the air. "And I do not wear tacky cologne."

"I… I… oh god I've got to warn Chris!" She spun around on her heels and flung open the door the three had come through, to reveal another staircase. "Kevin, just… follow them and make sure they don't do anything dangerous!"

"Wait! We shouldn't…" it was to late by now, she was gone already. "… Split up. Great… now what do I do?" with a sigh, he turned around, opened the door to the hanger again and dived behind the jeep remains as the three others turned around with the sudden noise he had made.

"… Must have been the wind." The silvery blonde women with icy blue eyes muttered after a few seconds and began to head towards a huge tower block, just showing in the distance through the blizzard. Kevin teeth began to chatter as he chased after the hazy black figures and pulled his jacket closer to him while thinking over something. The women description sounded so familiar… wait a minute, oh dear god. He was basically running flat out now to keep up with them now. If she was who he thought she was then…

One hell of a storm was approaching.

A/N: yes I know it's a week later than I first hoped and a lot shorter than all my other chapters but I can't really be bothered to add another scene to it like I usually do, I wanted to keep it to just one scene this time.
