About 1 hour after I came home, I received an urgent call from Barry. We lost contact with BRAVO. We had to come back immediately for a rescue mission. This case took unexpected proportions. What had happened? Anyway, it was our job to check it, hoping that it was only a device breakdown.

I came back at RPD in less than 20 minutes afer, Jill, Brad and Joseph listened attentively to Wesker's informations.

"Mr. Redfield, thank you for honoring us with your presence. "

I did not pay attention to his sarcasm.

"What happened? "

Barry spoke.

"The last transmissions Enrico say they have encountered a problem just before we lost contact"

"We know nothing more, then there is no need to keep talking. Brad, go to the helicopter we'll leave in 5 minutes " Wesker ended the conversation as quickly as it had begun. I put on my suit and checked my weapons. Finally our preparation day wasn't useless. I joined Jill in the hallway towards the heliport.

"Are you ready? "

"I have a bad feeling about it."

"Me too. But do not forget that as long as we stay together nothing will happen to us, no matter what it is. And if we're lucky, this is nothing. "

"Stop that Chris, you can't even convince yourself. It is better that we get prepare for the worst "

We arrived at the heliport when Barry, who was already here, heard the end of our conversation, and replied with a confident air:

"Don't be worry kids, anything or anyone can resist my Colt! "

Barry was not only a friend, he was like a father to me, and for the team. We always could count on him to support us, and I was grateful at him. He even managed to made Jill smile for a second, helping her to trust herself again.

We were in the helicopter, Joseph was the last of us to come in, and gave his apologizes to Wesker. Brad was in command, and seemed calmer than all of us. It was normal, he never really knew the danger, he was always the one who had to stay back. And for this mission he would have to make sure the chopper will be safe.

We were taking off. The forest was only a few minutes by fly, but we took advantage of this moment of quiet to focus. Jill was sitting beside me, her hand on her knee trembling slightly. Probably because this investigation that had chocked her was now our mission. I put my hand on hers, and she looked at me fondly.

"We stay together no matter what happen. I count on you to cover me, do not forget that"

I smiled to her to hide my own anxiety. She smiled also.

"I know Chris. It's okay. I'll be there"

We got to the northwest of the forest, near the place where we had lost contact with Bravo. The night was not going to help us to do anything, even with our lamps. The main objective was to find the helicopter. Brad told us he had to find a place to land cleared of trees, hoping that we would hurry to finish this. No one paid attention to this last point.

Quickly after our arrival, we adopted a tactical protection formation. Barry and I were the best shooters, we were leading the group, while the others stayed behind to cover us. Joseph was in my right behind, Jill in the rear interval between Barry and I, and finally Wesker on the left behind Barry.

It was too dark, and the worrying calm from the forest didn't help the situation. We took our guns and flashlights in hands, and walked slowly. The plan indicated that the Umbrella's mansion was not far away, and if something had happened, the Bravo would certainly go in there to find refuge. But we first had to find the helicopter.

I was also worried about us. The day had not been very tiring because of the preparation, but we probably were not in best conditions to face any dangers the forest might hold.

We were focused and continued to walk calmly, flashlights in one hand and the gun in the other. Weather was slightly cold, and that was the last thing we would have thought when we left the RPD. Everything happened so fast, hope this was the only detail that we had forgotten, because it wasn't the most important.

There was nothing unusual. No immediate danger, but this was why we should stayed focus. One mistake and only God knows what would happen to us. We were interrupted for a moment when Wesker was contacted on his radio. It was Brad. He had studied the area on the map, and located a position close to us, a place who would allow any helicopter to land. It was about at 15 minutes by walk in the north of our own position. We then decided to walk a little faster, but still remaining cautious, and ready to shoot.

As long as we were in this type of tactical formation, I was not worried about Jill. Without her own abilities, Wesker and Joseph were at her side, and even a crazy guy at night would never dare to attack 5 STARS simultaneously. The only problem in my reasoning, was that the killer was not a normal personn, and the team Bravo had disappeared. I forced myself not to think about it, and kept focused.

Brad was right. Finally we saw the helicopter a few steps ahead. But no needed to precipitate, we had to be vigilant, as the forest became more and more sinister. From what we could see, the helicopter had crashed, but no sign of smoke that could facilitate our research. The crash was not violent, so they could have survived.

"Chris, you check inside . Barry you stay behind to cover him. Jill Joseph you secure the area. " Wesker ordered.

I hoped to find something that will tell us what happened. I walked slowly inside. No sign of life, but also any weapons, it was a good sign. They would have take them before find refuge near the mansion. I then turned to the cockpit, and discovered the body of Kevin, who was in commands of the helicopter.

"Damn it ..."

Kevin was young, he had his career and his life to make. From what I knew, he even had just met a girl recently. I didn't really know him unfortunately, and now I won't have the opportunity anymore.

But there were something else, and what I saw terrified me, I took few steps back and fell on the ground. One of his eyes was torn out and I could see somes claws marks on his face ... this thing was probably close to the helicopter !

"Chris are you ok ?! " Barry heard me scream, and came inside the helicopter. His eyes spotted Kevin's body.

"Poor kid ... But what is that thing that did this to him? Is it really human? "

"Dunno, but we must warn the others. This thing is around! "

Barry helped me to get up and we went out immediately. I tried to pull myself together, then i told to Wesker, Jill and Joseph about what we saw Barry and I. My voice trembled slightly ... It was difficult to see the victims in the photos, but it was much harder to see that in real life ... I didn't want Jill to see me like this, but even forcing myself to adopt my professional attitude, she understood that I felt bad. I was not ashamed, I'm human after all. Not the "legendary" chris redfield for which I was known. I was mainly hoping that my attitude would not affect her. She didn't need that.

Wesker realized we should not hang out, we had to reach the mansion as soon as we could. With the information I had given him, he decided that we had to go on the offensive formation. I was still on the lead in the middle of Two groups of two persons : Jill and Joseph on my left, Barry and Wesker on my right. The two duo stood at a distance from me, but not too far away either.

We continued to move forward, constantly watching out our backs this time. I finally found my focus again, and hoped that we'll soon discover what we were dealing with. Do not know our enemy usually was not frighten us, but this case was not an ordinary investigation. The fear came over me, but I did not let him take over. I did not have the right. The minutes passed slowly, it was endless ... But we were not far from the mansion, and the forest was always so quiet, nothing to report.

"BANG! "!

Fear had just taken me. A shot from the left side ... Jill and Joseph !

Others shots followed the first one, and the scream of Joseph echoed in the forest. I ran to them hoping it wasn not too late. I see Jill from the distant, she didn't move, her gun pointed at something I could not see because of the trees. She used all her ammo, and seemed paralyzed by fear, not moving even a finger. I heard something running toward her, still not knowing what it was, I stopped to run and got prepared to shot on the thing who will appear soon on my sight.

"BAAANG! "

What appeared had been shot to the head with one of my bullets. Jill fell back, still unable to move. I kept running right over her. I have seen in less than one second that this thing looked like a dog..But it was much more creepy than a dog, I had never seen something like this it wasn't the good time to think about that, I soon realized that this dog was not alone, three others were devouring Joseph's body before they spotted us.

"Come on ! "

I was about to help Jill to get up, but she quickly regained consciousness and stood up by herself. We had no choice but to run, Jill was faster, I just followed her. These things were after us no matter where we were supposed to go, for now we only had to get away !

It was the beginning of a nightmare. I was scared. I did not know how we would get rid of these things, they were running faster than us. We had to find a way quickly . I was still running behind Jill when we heard a noise ... noise from an helicopter. I watched up to the sky, to see that our only way to leave was gone !

"Hey Brad ! But where the hell is he going ?! "

I screamed because of fear and frustration. But I made a big for nothing made me lose ground, I had no choice. If I had to die so that Jill could live, I didn't have to think twice. I made my choice, and I hoped to take one or two of these dogs with me! I turned myself to face, it was too late : one of the dogs had already jumped to catch me, and he was too close. My first instinct was to protect me with my left arm. I closed my eyes…..then…

"BAAANG! "

A bullet had struck the dog in the tête. A shot from Wesker.

"Chris this way ! "

I did not have time to understand what had happened, I just knew that I was still alive. I began to ran again..and Jill also, who apparently had stopped to run when I decided to gave my life for her ...

"Jill ... why? "

It was the only thing that crossed my mind while I run as fast as possible. Why did she stop? Her gun was empty, she couldnt do anything to help..This was the first time I was angry at her. We both would be dead now without Wesker.

Wesker and Barry continued to keep the dogs away by shooting them, while continuing to run. I decided to join them, it was the least thing I could do, I still had my ammo and I was not a coward. This action would be more effective for us to stay alive a little longer. While I was shooting, I noticed that other dogs had joined the others, which did not help the situation. As I could see, we were on the way of the mansion, which was not far from us now.

"Jill, run to that mansion ! " I yelled.
