Chapter 3: Family Reunion
As they rode up to the top floor; Tim began to get nervous. He hadn't seen his mother in five years, would she even recognize him? He glanced at Sappira, hoping for support but found only distraction as his eyes flicked down to her mini skirt. She linked arms with him and smiled, he nodded and when the elevator stopped they stepped out. They approached the only door they could see and knocked.
"Come in." A female voice called from the other side.
They opened the door and stepped inside. Sitting behind the desk was a slender Caucasian woman of medium height; about forty-four with long brown hair that was going grey and brown eyes, the hair was tied back in a ponytail. She was dressed in a business like fashion with a black knee length skirt, white blouse, black jacket, black tights and black flats. She looked up and gasped when she saw them. Tim stepped forwards, shifting his feet awkwardly.
"Hey mom." He said finally.
Rosemarie Shaffer came around the desk and immediately threw her arms around her son. Tim returned the hug and they both began crying. The others turned away, embarrassed, feeling like they were intruders on this moment, the tearful mother and son reunion. Even Cashmere who normally hated 'sappy stuff' was touched by this event.
Finally the duo composed themselves and stepped back. Before they could say anything however there was a knock at the door. Rosemarie called the person in. The person who stepped in was a young man, the same age as Tim, twenty one. He was Caucasian, had a toned build and was quite tall. He had hazel eyes and short brown hair, he was dressed in a pair of black jeans, a black tank-top with an obscure red design on it, grey socks and black sneakers. Rosemarie nodded and smiled.
"Ah, David, what brings you here?"
The young man nodded politely to Tim and the others; although his expression was one they were used to seeing on Cashmere. He turned his attention to Rosemarie.
"Ma'am, Jack's brought the virus, we have it down in the basement like you asked." He explained, "We're ready to begin."
She nodded. "Good, keep me informed please."
David nodded and left the room. Rosemarie smiled at the group.
"David Sanders, one of my most trusted employees."
They nodded and then Rosemarie turned back to Tim, a look of relief crossed her face.
"I thought you were dead all these years." She finally choked out. Tim nodded a sad smile on his face.
"There were times where I was, nearly killed." He admitted. "But I have my friends to thank for getting me out of those tight spots."
Rosemarie smiled around at the group. "Thank you, all of you, for my son."
They nodded and soon they took seats in a more comfortable, less formal part of the office.
Rosemarie then finally laid eyes, properly, on Sappira and she smiled widely.
"Sappira, you're alive too." She said, greatly relieved. Sappira smiled and nodded, although when she turned her gaze to Tim, her smile briefly became flirtatious. Rosemarie noticed this. "Wait, are you...?"
Tim nodded. "Sappira and I are dating now mom, we have been since the Raccoon City incident."
Rosemarie smiled and congratulated them before asking who else had survived Raccoon City; that they knew.
"Victoria made it...so did Dylan and Katrina." Tim explained, Sappira nodded and then added.
"Yeah, oh and umm...Katrina and Dylan, they have a kid now."
Rosemarie's eyes widened at that. "Really?"
"Yup, little Jayden; good kid, behaves himself."
They then introduced the others, Cashmere, Jacob Lisa and then finally Jason.
Tim smiled. "This is the guy without whom, we'd all be dead. Everyone in our group, owes their lives to this guy. Jason Maxwell."
Where he would shot back some nasty sarcastic remark before, Jason simply rolled his eyes. "Tim, stop giving me false praise, we're a team, we're all responsible for keeping each other alive. You know I depend on you guys as much as you do me."
Smiling he then turned to Rosemarie.
"A pleasure to meet you Ms. Shaffer."
She smiled back, "Please, call me Rosemarie, or Rose, if you prefer."
He nodded.
There was silence for a moment and then Tim sighed, his face fell.
"Mom, there's...something you should know." He said suddenly, she turned to him. "It's about dad...You know how he worked in Umbrella. Well, two years ago, Me, Sappira, Katrina, Jacob and Lisa were captured, he took us hostage in the facility, Victoria and Cashmere, rescued us...but..."
He felt a thick lump in his throat but Rose knew what he meant and finished the sentence.
"He's dead...isn't he?" Tim nodded and she sighed heavily. "I...I knew it would happen someday, after I started TerraSave and he stayed with Umbrella...He just wasn't the same after he joined them, he changed, he was no longer the man he was when I married him."
Just then however an alarm sounded, taking them all by surprise. David burst into the room, Rose turned to him.
"David, what's going on?"
He was breathless and looked deadly serious. "Umbrella, they've found us, an Umbrella troop transport chopper is on its way here. That's not even the worst of it. The Virus downstairs, someone released it. Now, apart from those behind this, those Umbrella goons and us; everyone's fallen victim to it."
Following this revelation Jason turned to Rose.
"We've got experience with this, do you have weapons here. We'll need them to fight out way out."
Rosemarie nodded and headed back to her desk. She pressed a few buttons on a control panel and parts of the wall slid back to reveal weapon closets. They quickly armed themselves. Jason with his favourite combination, twin handguns and twin shotguns. Tim grabbed a pair of handguns and a sword, similar to the one he usually wielded, Lisa and Sappira both grabbed handguns while Lisa also grabbed a pair of submachine pistols. Cashmere grabbed a pair of twin magnums while David grabbed a pair of submachine pistols. Jacob also decided to arm himself and grabbed a pair of handguns. Armed and ready they prepared to make their escape.
