"Right here!" Leon pointed at the map, "This is the real headquarters, not the one in Paris."
Claire looked down at the map; it showed the lay out of Umbrella's main headquarters, "Raccoon City!! You got to be kidding!? Of all the places on the face of the planet, Umbrella's main headquarters are in Raccoon City?!"
Leon sat down and only nodded, Raccoon City, the thorn in his, no their sides. It all started there; well for Claire and Leon, but for Chris it started before that.
Claire sat down next to Leon and sighed, she gazed at the floor plans, the entrance to the underground facility was located in a mansion not to far from the city. From the plans that lay on the table the place looked huge and impenetrable, "From the looks of it, the place seems very secure," she sighed rubbing her eyes, "It'll be tight getting in."
Chris lent back on the wooden chair, "The easy bit will be getting in, the hard bit is getting out," he said quietly while looking out of the window. His mind wondered a bit, it was autumn and the leaves were beginning to fall to the ground. He caught sight of a single leaf falling gracefully towards the ground; it seemed so peaceful that he just didn't feel like going into the anarchy all over again.
If he didn't, who will? Are there others out there who knew as much as he does of what Umbrella getup to? Yes and maybe no, who knew? He just felt it deep within his self that he had to do this, maybe to give his mind peace or something.
"It's decided then," Leon boomed, "We're going back to Raccoon City, fitting to end it where it started."
Leon's ounce of cheeriness was beginning to piss her off, "Would you please stop being so damned confident! This is Umbrella we're talking about, if we go in there 100% confident in bring those fuckers down then we haven't got a chance in hell of coming out alive."
Chris turned from the window and faced Claire and Leon, his face was very serious, it didn't suit him at all, what he was about say, was something he never knew he would ever do. Maybe it was because Umbrella ruined his and his friend's lives, not to mention all that perished by Umbrella's hands. Or was it that Jill Valentine vanished after their first encounter with Umbrella? Maybe.
"Even if we do succeed, the chances of actually escaping are way too low. So maybe this time we won't actually survive. Maybe this is a suicide mission, and I for one will die trying to end Umbrella, once and for all."
"Chris, are you mad?" she gasped, "You can't be serious? I do not want to die so easily, I want to live my life knowing that Umbrella is finally destroyed."
He smiled then, "That's why I don't want you to come. You're only nineteen Claire. Or you either Leon, I won't make you, it's your choice to make."
Leon nodded; he understood what Chris was saying. But the thought of all those people destroyed infuriated him and his significant life didn't really matter too many others, "Are you crazy?! You ain't going to get all the credit! I'm in!"
"So am I!" Claire shouted out, "I don't care what any of you say! I'm going to pay Umbrella back for what they did to Steve!"
Chris relaxed back in the chair, he didn't object to Claire's decision, although he was her brother, older brother. He just knew it was something she had to do.
"Still having the nightmares?" he asked quietly.
She nodded her head, "All the time," she said seriously, "All the time."
