Approximately 24 hours later.
The light from the hanging candleabra shines down upon them, it sways back and forth nauseously. Leon is sprawled on the grimy floor, breathing hastely. Beside him lay, as if in a coma, Jill Valentine, Claire Redfield and suprisingly Ashley Graham. They are stripped of their posessions which could cause any harm including shoelaces and belts; and are only left with their clothing.
The walls around them are lighted by the candleabra and its flickering flames which cast elaborate shadows. On the walls are designs of mythological dragons and beings, painted brilliant reds and browns. Everything feels dark and dingy. In the distance the echo of an open fosset and the dripping of water can be heard. Their are no doors in sight.
Leon's cough echoes and his slow movement follows. He aches, and attempts on pushing himself up but fails. His head stirs and his vision is blurry.
F l a s h b a c k : An invisible gas fills the room. Leon is hunched over, overwhelmed. He glances at the packet filled with the evidence that Wesker has much invovlement in the happenings. And also, all he knows might be in great danger since of course the president isin't himself.
He feels like a mouse in some labyrinth.
Suddenly his heart beats in his chest even louder and now he sees through kaleidoscope eyes. It's so quiet, but it is as if a banshee is screaming in his ears. Jill is a fuzzy colored image and Claire also. And then it's just white; a horrifying, strange white. :E n d
"Ada..." He utters forcefully. "What have you done..."He assumes, crawling on the floor tirelessly. Betrayal, he thinks. He's weak and soon falls back in sweet slumber.
F l a s h b a c k: Ada walks through the hall. She blinks, covering the tears. Across the hall, a shadow advances. She glances at this suspiciously. And then, at the end of the hall comes the figure.
"Styne" She speaks. Her brother offers no warm smile nor sentence. "What are you doing here?" She asks and now shifts her head back, spying the door she just exited. She glances at her brother again and that familiar deception in his eyes. Ada moves back slowly, knowing full well that there is something quite wrong. Before she could even budge, she feels a prick at the side of her neck. She pulls out the needle attached to her neck and before facing behind her once more, to see the criminal which had poisoned her, she faints. :E n d
Weskers types something in his laptop, legs crossed. The helicopter will soon land.
"Slit" He speaks and the man just nods. Styne and Rae sit beside Slit.
"We have we captured so far? And what are the whereabouts of Nina and Stark?"
"We hold hostage of Leon S. Kennedy, Claire Redfield, Ashley Graham, Ada Wong and Jill Valentine" He responded. "Stark and Nina are still investigating the Shaunte mission."
"Good, now find Chris Redfield and Billy Coen."
