Chapter 3.

Both of us where inside now. I laughed as I asked him why in hell he'd chosen to go outside and not just stay behind the door.

" felt someone lookin' at me, and I wouldn't take the chance of them being stronger and cornering me. Besides, how could you be so sure I wouldn't shoot you?"

I smiled to myself and kept on walking through to the farthest door and opened it to find the securities room. Filled with cameras and thrown away cups of espresso I answered his question.

"I wasn't, but I'm not scared of bullets"

Chris looked puzzled,"not scared of dying you mean?"

"no…not scared bullets….or dying. Come to think of it, I'm not sure I can die." I looked in his eyes and I felt the pity he was feeling for me, at being used as living, breathing test subject of the viruses existing peacefully inside me.

"don't pity me Chris, I'm all I've ever dreamed of being. We went over this when you found me a long time ago.i was never this strong, I could not even come close to the shadow of the woman I am now. But that's a story best told in front of a fireplace surrounded by candle light, right?" at this I saw his cheeks redden a little, but anything to be considered a blush, he was too much of a man for that.

He'd bulked up since I last saw him and I was thinking of actually asking why he's here but thought about Leon instead. What he and Ada must be doing when something in the third camera caught my eye. Then I heard the sound. A blast of noise followed by tremor coming from under our feet. A building had just exploded and the mushroom of smoke and fire had caught my attention on the screen.

"look at this" Chris's voice beckoned me to the screen and the end of the table and it showed a mass of bodies struggling with each other to walk or crawl to the mansion.

Wesker's mansion.

"I have to go back" I turned to leave when he caught my hand and turned me to face the screen once more and I saw that at the very back of the decaying group were two small giants walking slowly, taking their time and saving their strength.

"you can't possibly still be this head over heels for him to actually walk into something like this?" I could hear the plea in his voice and the literal challenge in it.

"I thought of you as the strongest of the pack Chris. This sort of thing would be an adventure for you, besides, Leon and Ada are out there somewhere as well. And Claire, as you must already know is in the next village. Which is a few steps away from where those things are. If they are going to the mansion, they have to get through the village first." I turned again and went for the door and out the first broken window I found. I started walking back to my bike when I heard a roar of an engine and Chris's face come up next to me, smiling.

"you little piece of trouble. It seems like whenever I stay next to you for more than ten seconds I fine myself in trouble."

I lifted my leg over the seat and turned on my bike and while I put my helmet on I spoke softly so he'd have to really listen to hear my voice.

"if I'm so much trouble, why are we always meeting up like this….i must be a hot piece of ass as well."

…..

As time passes I could sense something was amiss. Putting on my sunglasses I turned from screen shot to another, looking for the one where Rose has just been on. She'd been gone for almost two hours now. And when that call from Ada had gone through it had really made me smile. Rose was always up to no good. Which was the main reason I put up with her.

She was the only woman, or for that matter human, who would ever take me for what I really am and like it. The only draw back was she loved sex. Which wouldn't bother me if her escapades didn't include my enemies. But now that Leon was with Ada, it would make it a bit more difficult for her, although I know she ever truly goes and looks for a good one with anyone but me. At that moment I felt my mind wonder to her touch, her lips on my skin and I felt my pants tighten on my loins.

I shook my head slightly as if to get the thoughts out of my head and went back to the matters at hand. Again my house was under attack by the undead. This time they had been deliberately sent after my domain. Rose would soon come and eradicate them all. I knew that as she had done it many times before, and she would do it again. If only to get revenge and show them who is boss. But as they pounded and got in the main halls. I stood up and walked to the clear glass wall behind me. Looking down I saw that my orders to evacuate were being done. The last of the minions were just entering the under ground cargo shuttle. This would take them to the river miles away from the place I'd just begun to call home.

I go through my office door and walk slowly down the stairs to the metal cargo door. Screams flooded around me and I felt a pang of guilt at leave Rose behind. But she's strong, and she'll make it. Just like I always did. And I always did alone too.
