Chapter 5: Confronting the Conspirators
The group was about to head through the corridors to the other end of the floor when they heard a noise and found themselves surrounded by zombies.
"Where the hell did they all come from?" Lisa gasped, Cashmere shook her head.
"Like rats out of their holes."
Just then Tim noticed something at the same time as Jason sensed the extra T-Virus signatures.
Tim was the first to warn them. "Guys heads up, there's more of them."
"Yeah, Cerberi." Jason finished.
Sure enough the zombified dogs appeared, weaving through the zombies to get at the group.
"Crap, this is bad." David growled as he and the others looked around. Just then however Jacob cried out.
"Guys, get down, I've got an idea!"
They all dropped to the ground and Jacob fired his gun in apparently random directions. However his plan became clear as he dropped to the ground and the fire extinguishers as well as the sprinkler system exploded from the shots they had taken. The explosion and subsequent burst of water was enough to kill or slow down several of the zombies. They all leapt to their feet and ran through a gap. The zombies had difficulty getting after them but the Cerberi were hot on their heels. As they ran they occasionally fired pot shots over their shoulders. A few of them hit but only stunned the Cerberus that was hit. One Cerberus was killed however and finally they managed to reach the stairwell; they opened fire and shot down the last Cerberi before darting into the stairwell and barring the door behind them.
Once the doors were barricaded they began their descent. Just then Rosemarie stopped them.
"Do you hear that?" She asked, the others listened and sure enough they heard strange noises, they were getting closer.
They readied themselves, and headed down the steps slowly and even more cautiously than before. Before long the source of the noise became clear as they ventured upon a new infected creature.
"Snakes!" Sappira gasped. Rose groaned; "Those will be the adders that Graham kept as pets."
The snakes began to approach rapidly. Jason pulled out his shotguns and began blasting them. Those that could hit the adders, either with rapid fire weapons or like Jason used a shotgun, joined in. They managed to blast away the adders and once again the route was clear. However Rose shook her head and warned them.
"That wasn't the last of them, Graham kept more than that." She sighed; "He planned this whole thing, I wish I knew why."
"Maybe we'll find out." Tim told her as they continued to descend.
As they descended however Cashmere and Jacob heard an ominous creaking noise.
"Guys, that doesn't sound good." Jacob warned. Cashmere however heard it again and realized what was happening.
"Everyone, get back!"
They leapt back just in time as the staircase in front of them collapsed. They couldn't get any further down so they had no choice, they headed out into the floor they were on.
Almost as soon as they stepped through the door a large creature jumped on Jacob, pinning him to the floor. The others took aim, but didn't fire as they feared hitting Jacob. Tim however realized he had a weapon that could work and dashed in with his sword. He was quickly able to deliver a deadly blow to the beast and haul it off Jacob. As Jacob stood up they finally recognized the beast that had attacked him.
"A Hunter." Jacob groaned, "Just what we need, those things."
As he said they heard the heavy footsteps and Jason sensed the T-Virus signatures.
"There's more of them, c'mon."
They immediately hurried; their strongest weapons at the ready. They didn't have to wait long, as they rounded the second corner a pack of Hunters was waiting for them. They opened fire and managed to blast a path; dodging the other Hunters they darted past. They fired behind them and then realized that the Hunters were coming from all over the floor. They were forced to fire on the go as they dodged and weaved through the beasts. Finally they got a reprieve and Jason got an idea.
"We have to get to the next floor down, hold them off!" he told the others before grabbing a nearby rope.
He then smashed a nearby window, knocking all the glass out of it; he secured the rope and let it hang down.
"We'll go down this way, I'll go first."
With that he grabbed the rope, shimmied down and swung on the rope until he broke through the lower window and was down on the next floor. He verified it was clear and told the others; they all followed suit and managed to escape the Hunters.
Once they regrouped, reloaded and caught their breath they looked around.
"You know, I think we can get back into the stairwell now." David stated.
Rose nodded. "Yeah, c'mon, we need to hurry."
"What's the rush?"
They all spun around and found themselves face to face with Graham and Jack, the two who had unleashed the virus. Almost immediately Rose stepped forwards.
"Graham, Jack, do even realize what you've done?!" She demanded; Graham shrugged.
"You wanted us to demonstrate just how dangerous this virus was...So we did it."
Jack laughed. "It was easy, easiest money I ever made."
Rosemarie shook her head. "Are you insane? This isn't what I meant, we were to analyze the virus and show our findings to the senate. Not unleash it; that's no better than Umbrella."
Graham glared at her.
"Of course not, I'm miles better than Umbrella, and unlike you, I have the courage to do what is necessary." He shook his head. "I knew you wouldn't understand...So be it."
With that he pressed a switch on the wall next to him and a trapdoor suddenly opened beneath the group, dropping them down to the floor below.
End of chapter, hope you enjoyed it, read and review please.
