A month later found them finishing a job and now Jake and Piers were in a motel resting from a long week of BOW hunting. Piers smirked as he looked at the ceiling. "That was close" he said
Jake nodded, they had found evidence that some private companies had gotten a hold of the C-Virus and that was the reason there were so many incidents that the BSAA were still investigating. Neo Umbrella was the corporation that managed to use his and Sherry's DNA to do various testing. He knew that there was a probability that they either sold their investigations or that they were still in business.
"Do you think that there is a reason, after everything that we went through on China, that someone somewhere is doing the same?" Piers asked
Jake shook his head as he closed his eyes. He had to give it to the ex-BSAA, he was thinking the exact thing he was. "I am thinking about it. But we don't know if there is a way to know if they are in business" he responded.
Piers nodded "I saw her, Ada Wong, the person who used soldiers to test the virus, dead" he said
"And that National Security scumbag died too according to Leon Kennedy" Jake said "So we can rule them out" he added
Piers sat down looking at Jake's bed "Do you think they might have sold their information?" he asked
Jake nodded "Good question, and if they had, how do we know they sold it and to who" he said
"We have our hands full" Piers said as he stood up.
"Well, we can't rest right now" Jake said
"Why is that?"
"We have a job"
Piers looked at him "Where?"
"Colombia"
"Co… Colombia" Piers asked as he crossed his arms "Alright but I am sleeping for 8 hours tonight" he said as he went to the bathroom.
-Colombia-
"Do you know Spanish?" Piers asked Jake
Jake shrugged "No, but I usually just go with the flow" he smirked as he grabbed his phone. "This can translate" he added
Piers rolled his eyes as he shook his head. They stopped at the small city and managed to find the location of their contact.
"Hola, espero encontraran el lugar con facilidad" the woman said. "Mi nombre es Rosario" she added
(Hi hoped you find the place easily. My name is Rosario)
Jake was looking at his phone, and then back at the woman. "Hey" he said
"Mucho gusto Rosario, mi nombre es Piers y el es Jake" Piers said to the woman as he shook her hand.
(Nice to meet you my name is Piers and this is Jake)
"Ah you know Spanish" Rosario said
"And you know English" Jake said
Rosario laughed slightly "Yes I do, I just wanted to check if you indeed talked Spanish" she said
Jake shook his head "Well now you know we have Spanish boy here" he said pointing at Piers.
Piers rolled his eyes and looked at Rosario. "So can you tell us what happened, how did this began?" he asked
Rosario looked at them. "We've had problems with these people; it began when one person arrived at the main hospital presenting, abrasions on their arms and legs, spreading all over their body, then he bite the next person and so on, we managed to contain some but then the hospital was filled with these infected people. We heard similar things from parts of the world and that is how we contacted you. The BSAA will not come since we are a small place." She changed and talked in a sad manner. "So many lives lost. And now these things appeared and the little people we have here and cannot escape won't survive. "They look like people in cocoons" she added
Piers and Jake shared a look "We know what they are and how to destroy them, but usually what comes after are monsters." He asked
"Well, we don't know much about what happened" she said "All we know is that…" all that was heard was a scream. Some Gnezdo were flying towards them.
"Shit" Jake said as he pulled Rosario behind him
Piers kneeled to his bag that was ono the floor looking for something.
Jake started firing at the many 'bees' get close to them. He knew that hand-to-hand combat is out of the question to fight it.
"That doesn't work!" Piers said as he got out the blue hand grenade and activated it, throwing it at the creature. After the flash bang exploded Jake could see bigger creatures among the very small ones. "Shot it!" Piers said
Jake looked at them and shot them, precision was needed. He hit them all and lowered his gun "That was a good idea" he said
"We encountered them in China" Piers said as he looked like he was remembering what had happened.
Jake sighed "Well that is my first time" he said
Piers smirked "First time for everything" he said as he looked at Rosario "Those are BOWs" he said
Rosario nodded rapidly "Those have been attacking everything in sight" she said "We thought it was normal bugs" she added
"That is probably how there have been more of them" Piers thought out loud. "People infected. J'Avos" he added
Jake smirked "Alright then, let's get this assholes and get out of here" he said to Piers who in returned looked at his as he got the rifle in his hands.
-BSAA-
A soldier opened the door abruptly to Chris's office "We have something! Sir!" he said
Chris looked up "Jake?"
Karl nodded "We have something in Colombia" he said
"Move out" Chris said as he stood up.
The mobilized fast and were heading by plane to Colombia. Chris was looking at the reports on the creatures that were captured on video. "We have different creatures on sight, according to the video" he said to his soldiers. Hours later they arrived in Colombia.
"Jake…there's one behind you!" Piers said over the radio as he fired a shot that hit the J'Avo on the head.
"Grazie" Jake responded as he turned quick and shot at the other 2 behind him.
Piers was at the rooftop of one of the buildings, Rosario had left them to tend to the creatures as she helped the people that still were at the small city get out of there. They had been hours doing what they were doing. Piers and Jake managed to get some more ammo from an abandoned store, if they were going to come back they would have to apologize for stealing them, but they needed it.
"Shit" Piers heard Jake said
"What happened?" Piers asked
"We have company… It's the BSAA" Jake said as he looked up towards the building Piers was in. "If you're going to go, I recommend you leave that building now" Jake added
The BSAA helicopter was in the aid and you could see soldiers zip line to the village all landing on the street close to Jake and starting shooting at the BOW's.
Piers got his things in the bag, and strapped his rifle. "Copy" he said to Jake in order to let him to know that Piers will be occupied getting out of the building.
Jake reloaded his gun and started heading towards the J'Avos.
Piers moved quite fast down the stairs, he moved out of the way when a J'Avo attacked him. He grabbed his handgun and fired at the head. He then looked at the side and there were two more. He grabbed a hand grenade and tossed it at them, running to the floor below and heard the bang, the building shook. He ran down the stairs four more floors and stopped when he heard the noise of the soldiers opening the doors with a kick, shooting at any J'Avo that appeared and going up the stairs. He could hear them frantically wanting to investigate where the explosion originated from. He silently cursed and got up the stairs again, being careful with where the damage of the grenade was. When he reached the rooftop again he looked around "Jake, I'm on a bit of trouble." He said as he went to the edge of the building and saw the other rooftop. It was a couple of feet away but Piers thought he could make the jump.
"Piers, where are you?" Jake asked as he kicked the face of a J'Avo.
"I had to come back to the rooftop." Piers said as he closed the rooftop door.
"I can go there" Jake said as he shot at a J'avo and started running towards the building but he got stopped by a mutated J'Avo. "Son of a…" he dodged the large arm passing over him.
"No, I have an idea" Piers said as he adjusted everything as to not fall off him. He strapped the rifle and took a deep breath and started running towards the edge and jumped.
"What are you going to do?" Jake asked as he looked at the rooftop. He opened his eyes in surprise as he saw a figure jump from one roof to the other. "What the hell Piers!" he shouted at the radio.
Piers fell down hard, even if he managed to roll at the landing, but he stayed on his back as he tried to get some air back to his lungs. Then he flinched when he heard Jake again. "Shit… I'm fine" he managed to say. He was going to be bruised on the back since he landed to in rifle.
"I will kick your ass when I see you" Jake said as he ran.
Chris was shooting away the J'Avos that appeared in front of him. He had his other men searching the buildings. A large explosion was heard."Sir we are going to investigate" he heard on the radio since some of his men were scattered. He then saw Jake far away shooting around and looking towards one of the buildings and trying to go through another group of J'Avos. He looked, it was the building his men where in and saw it, or better yet him. The person jumped the building and landed on the other roof. "What the…?" he asked himself and ordered his men to continue taking care of the J'Avos as he left.
Piers got up and shook his head as he started to feel a headache. He grabbed something from his pocket and took out a small syringe and placed it on his neck. He groaned as he injected the vaccine that was going to prevent him from mutating again. He stood up and placed his hand on his head and took a deep breath. He then headed down the stairs out of the building but when he opened the back door he crashed on to someone.
BSAA soldier Jason Burke was moving to a building next to the one all the soldiers of the team had gone in; he wanted to prove that he could manage alone against BOW's. As he got to the back of the building he crashed with someone. But when he looked to see the person who crashed on him he was met by a fast attack; the person punched him and then moved behind him wrapping an arm around his neck cutting the air supply. Whoever that person was he was fast and managed to knock him out.
"Piers?" he heard the familiar voice call.
Piers let go of the unconscious soldier and looked up and saw Chris Redfield in front of him. He looked at him with wide eyes. "Cap…" he started but then he heard "Piers? Where are you?" from Jake. He turned his head to the side and looked at Chris again. "I'm fine" he said as he placed his hand to his ear. "I'm heading your way" he added
"Piers… how are you here?" Chris said as he looked at Jason knocked out by Piers legs.
Jake had a bed feeling so he wanted his friend to meet with him ASAP. And that was when he heard it, "Is that Redfield?!" Jake asked as he managed to run away from the group leaving it for the BSAA.
"Yes" Piers said with his hand one his ear. When he placed his hand down he looked at Chris. "I… I can't" he said shaking his head as he took some steps back and readjusted his rifle. He turned to leave but then he was grabbed by the arm by Chris who moved fast to get to him. "Let me go" he said as he looked back at his former captain.
"Where have you been? Why didn't you contact me?" Chris asked as he turned Piers towards him. "You survived and…" he started looking at him up and down, not believing he was seeing and touching Piers Nivans.
"I couldn't" Piers said shaking his head as he pulled from Chris' grasp.
"Why not… why not contact me?" Chris asked again.
"I didn't want to be a Guinea pig" Piers said "I don't want them testing and probing me" he said
"I wouldn't let them do that to you" Chris said "I would do anything to protect my men" he said "You know I do" he added
"I know… you would do anything to protect me. I remember that you tried to save me, and I didn't let you. But the, the BSAA would…" Piers said as he suddenly stopped. He looked at Chris and then he looked at his shoulder, looking at what it appeared to be a tranquilizer dart.
Chris was surprised about what happened and looked back seeing Karl with his rifle up. "Nooo!" he yelled but Jake stood behind Karl and kicked him unconscious. He glared at Chris as he ran towards them.
"You son of a bitch" Jake yelled as he pushed Chris out of the way.
Piers had his hand up to his shoulder and took out the dart. His body was feeling tired, he tried to concentrate as his vision became blurry. He placed a hand over his eyes as he tried to maintain his balance.
"Why is it taking effect that quick?" Jake asked Piers. He knew that with the virus still in him the effects of any other drug besides the vaccine would take its time to work.
"I took… the vaccine… a few minutes ago." Piers said as he started to slowly fall on his knees but Jake stood next to him and grabbed him softly wrapping his arm around him, holding him in place.
Chris snapped from his shock and did the same as Jake on the other side of Piers. "Vaccine…?"
Jake glared at Chris and then nodded towards Piers "If he doesn't take it, he would mutate again." he said as he tried to lift Piers.
"I can walk" Piers said as he tried to stand straight but swayed.
"Piers, come with us" Chris said as he had his hand on Piers' other side.
"Chris" Piers said "I am not going back there" he said
"They will experiment on him, on the virus and how the vaccine works on him. No way" Jake said as he hit Chris' hand off Piers. "Besides, it was your men who shot him" he added
"I'll protect him" Chris said to Jake "He is one of my men"
"Not anymore big shot." Jake said
Piers legs gave out making Jake catch him. He dropped on his knee, he grabbed and carried Piers fireman style. "Get your men away from us" he said as walked away as fast as he could with Piers on his shoulder.
Chris looked at them as they left. He went back to his men who were closing in on him and to the unconscious Karl and Jason. "Sir" Mark said "You weren't responding so we thought something happened" he added
"Stand down, take care of these two." Chris nodded towards the two soldiers. Chris sighed as he looked around. Luckily the BOWs were taken care of and then he ordered everyone to move out.
Jake took Piers as soon as he could to where they are staying. "Shit" Jake said as he dropped Piers on the bed. "Damn BSAA" he added as he started packing everything. He was making sure they would be out of Colombia before they went to look for them.
