A/N: Sorry this update took a little longer than was expected. Please review after you have read and let me know if this story is still any good. I don't own anything related to Resident Evil or Ramen noodles. I just own the PC I used to type it all out as well as the music I was listening to.

*NB: Anything written in Italics is the thoughts of said character.

Chapter 13

What surprised Alice wasn't the fact that she was looking at a mutilated corpse, but who the corpse reminded her of. The only thing she could pick out of the blood smears and missing chunks of flesh was that it was a man. It appeared to be an elderly man perhaps near his fifties or just over. He reminded Alice of her own father. Strange as the thought might be, because Alice doesn't remember much of her father. Only that he was near his fifties when he died. She doesn't even remember what he died of, or if she went to his funeral.

Alice merely blinked and stepped over the body, making her way out of the back door with ease. She didn't feel a thing as she grabbed the man by the arms and pulled him out the door and down the back alley behind the small hotel. Reaching the medium sized wall that sectioned off the alley from the street, Alice hoisted the body up against the wall. Pushing him over was easy as she watched him tumble over the wall, his body sprawled in an awkward manner. 'Bye dad.'

Wiping her palms on her pants, Alice did a quick survey of the surrounding area. The street was deathly quiet. There was a small breeze whipping around the corners lazily. A few lone pages of an old and faded newspaper made a notion of moving, but then lay back down. Something felt very odd.

Alice turned on her heel and walked quickly back into the hotel, closing and locking the back door. She found Leon and Chris positioning their weapons along the windows, moving slowly and stealthily.

"Something isn't right." Alice said. Both Leon and Chris whipped their heads around to look at her. Neither of them noticed her even coming back into the room. Leon gave her a quizzical look.

"Whatever could you mean dearest?" Leon grinned as soon as Alice scowled at the stupid new nickname.

"There are no bodies. I checked outside, no bodies. Look out of the windows, you'll see it too. Where are they?" Alice couldn't help but shudder at the feeling of déjà vu smacking down on her.

Moving closer to Chris, Alice peered out of the window. She couldn't help the gasp or the sudden new shape of her eyes.

"Where the fuck did it go?" Alice demanded, stepping back and looked accusingly between Leon and Chris. Both men had moved to the windows to try and see what Alice was going on about. The sudden silence throughout the room confirmed her fears. Leon only worded them correctly, and in the only way he knew how.

"What the fuck? This is not happening. We heard its footsteps, it sounded like a ton of bricks hitting the pavement. How the fuck did it just disappear without us even noticing it?" Leon nearly yelled. Chris had become frighteningly quiet.

"Alice." Chris said in a near whisper. Alice had seen him move closer to her shortly after Leon had begun his poetic reiteration. Chris wiped Alice's cheek and stepped away, but not before concluding in a low voice that she had blood on her cheek.

"I'll keep guard. Fuck this, that motherfucker is not getting away from me this easily. I'm going to kick its big fat ass and shove that axe right up its ass!" Leon half yelled. Alice smiled slightly, seemingly finding his outburst amusing. Chris remained stone faced.

For the first time in a long time, Alice felt real guilt; she felt the pangs of embarrassment dawning on her. 'Does he know?' she asked herself. Chris grabbed a few guns and turned to Alice, handing them over to her.

"Alice and I will set up the rest of the perimeter. Better safe than sorry, don't you think?" Chris gave Alice a look and then marched up the stairs.

"What's crawled up his ass?" Leon spat.

"What's up with the over use of ass?" Alice could sense Leon was annoyed, but she couldn't peg the reason though. Shrugging her shoulders, Alice set off after Chris. She found him in a bedroom facing the street, right above where Leon was. Alice figured Chris was pissed about something, again. Turning away from him, she started walking down the hall to set a perimeter facing the alley.

Flashback

Alice was running away from bullets, again. For some or other reason she just can't seem to not attract danger these days. Jumping through a window, Alice came face to face with three Umbrella agents. She dropped her weapon as they asked, however she ended up killing them anyway. They were just way too slow, or she's just too damn quick.

Suddenly she came face to face with a helicopter, the same one that was shooting at her a few minutes earlier. Alice huffed.

"Oh come on." She mumbled, just before Nemesis stepped in front of her. She keeps forgetting the things that happened just after that. She does however remember his eyes. Matt had the most beautiful eyes. When she came to, Carlos was dragging her over to the helicopter they had commandeered minutes earlier. Once inside, she grabbed the darling asshole by his jacket and dragged him over to the edge of the door. For some or other reason she will never forget the words he uttered in her ear before she threw him out.

"Everywhere you go, you will bring death."

Alice had been sitting in the same position for the last hour. The entire hotel was quiet. The streets were quiet. Deciding to stretch her legs a little, Alice got up and ventured downstairs. Leon was sitting on an old lounge chair that he had dragged over to the window. When he heard her he looked up from the scope of his rifle.

"Well hello there sunshine." Leon grinned. Alice gave him a deathly glare and stretched her arms over her head. This action let her shirt ride up her upper body, exposing her midriff and a black mark on her left hip. Leon's eyes grew a few sizes, but went back to normal when Chris barked at him.

"Keep your eyes to yourself Kennedy. You're not too old to get an ass whooping." Alice turned her head to look at Chris, who had mysteriously materialized behind her on the stairs. Eyeing him up and down, Alice huffed and stepped over to Leon to get the bag containing their food supplies.

"I'm going to check if there is anything we can use." Alice said coldly and shot a glare at Chris before exiting the room.

"What did you do this time Redfield?" Leon enquired. His curiosity certainly had been aroused with those two. Chris mumbled something under his breath and plopped down on a chair situated against the wall. Coincidently the chair had a clear view of the kitchen where Alice was rummaging around in.

"Eh? Sorry I seemed to have missed that." Leon teased, leaning back in his chair.

"Shut it." Chris grumbled.

"Oh come on. Whatever you did can't be that bad." Leon said.

"I didn't do anything." Chris snapped. "Alice came back inside with blood on her cheek, but I checked, there are no bodies around, so it couldn't have been because she killed something."

"So what, you think she's hurting herself?" Leon asked, his voice laced with disbelief. Somewhere during Chris' rant Leon had sat forward, leaning his elbows on his knees.

"I don't know what to think anymore. She told me a bunch of stuff on the plane, but something just doesn't add up." Chris sighed.

"Why don't you just ask her man?" Leon said quietly.

"Yes, why don't you just ask her?" Alice mimicked as she stepped back into the room. Her fists found their way over to her hips. Both men looked up in surprise.

"Alice, I-"Chris started only to be cut off by Alice.

"Save it. You want to know about the blood? Okay then. I'm not bloody hurting myself. There was a body in the back office, I got rid of it. That's where it came from. And before you want to interrogate me over why I didn't tell you, I didn't find it relevant. There have been so many bodies around us lately, I didn't see the need in telling you about yet another one lest you go brood about it." Alice huffed.

"And between you and me, I know there are a few things that don't add up, but that's because I don't feel you are ready to know everything just yet." Alice turned to leave but Chris jumped up suddenly.

"I'm not ready to know everything just yet?" He nearly yelled. "I got some sort of fucking virus injected in me and I'm not ready to know everything? Alice, we can die at any minute and for some reason you don't feel the need to share everything with me. How more involved do I have to get? Does Leon have to die before you come to your senses and tell me what exactly we are up against?"

Leon spoke up before Chris could continue. "Hey! Do not pull me into this. And saying that I'm gonna have to die, not cool man." Leon scowled.

"Shut up Kennedy." Both Alice and Chris said in unison. Leon had a snappy retort on the tip of his tongue but swallowed it as soon as Alice stepped closer to Chris, murder in her eyes. They were now face to face and still yelling for some or other reason.

"First of all, do not raise your voice at me. And secondly, no, you don't need to know everything right now. I'm not telling you everything because I don't want to burden you with every fucking detail. If you don't like it, there's the door, don't let it hit you in the ass on the way out!"

Alice stormed up the stairs, but she wasn't alone. In her desire to get away from Chris, he had decided to follow her, slamming his fist into the door just before it hit his face. He stepped inside and slammed it shut behind him.

"Get out!" Alice yelled.

"Now you listen here-"Chris started saying.

"I told you to get out!"

"I'm not going anywhere damn it!" He yelled in return.

Alice put her palms on Chris' chest and shoved him backward hard toward the door. Chris recovered quickly and grabbed Alice's wrists and turned her around, pressing her back against his chest. But Alice was quicker, flicking her head back and hitting Chris hard on the nose. He released his grip on Alice momentarily, but it was all she needed. Alice raised her leg and rammed her heel into his shin forcefully.

Chris groaned and staggered backward landing against the wall cradling his shin and a bleeding nose. He anticipated Alice's next move as he jumped out of the way just in time for her fist to come into contact with the wall, consequently smashing a hole into it. Alice pulled her hand free, but she wasn't moving quick enough to avoid the punch Chris aimed her way, as it caught her across the jaw. Alice fell on her side and clutched her jaw. Murder was plain to see in her eyes.

Alice jumped up and lunged toward Chris, her fist hitting him square in the face. She managed to land another fist in his abdomen, causing Chris to bend over with the force. Alice was aiming to ram her knee into Chris' face, but he caught her leg and turned, throwing her against the wall with a loud thud. Chris stalked toward Alice and landed a punch in her abdomen and catching her by the shoulders before she could fall to the floor.

Alice resorted to a fifth grade playground move as she stomped on Chris' foot. Chris lost his grip on Alice again, and came into contact with a lamp being smashed over his head and arm. Luckily it didn't hurt and Chris grabbed Alice by the wrist again and threw her across the room where she flew into the wardrobe, effectively breaking it. Alice groaned but got to her feet in record time to jump Chris again, landing a fist against his cheek and punching him in the nose again. Chris grabbed Alice by the thighs and slammed her into the wall, stilling both of their movements.

Chris was panting, his head leaning against Alice's chest, just as Alice leaned her head against Chris'. Both were desperately trying to catch their breath. Alice put her hands on Chris' cheeks and pulled his face back so that she could look into his eyes. There was a large cut across his forehead; a cut along his cheek, his nose looked broken judging by the amount of blood pouring out. His lip was split and there were a few blood drops running down his chin because of it. He already had a few painful looking bruises on his face and Alice was certain that there would be a whole lot more marring the rest of his body. Her own body too, 'Most definitely', Alice concluded judging by the pain in her back.

Alice leaned forward and kissed Chris full on the lips, not even caring about the blood spilling from his nose or the split lip he endured during their, er, scuffle. Chris kissed Alice back in earnest, running his tongue across her bottom lip. Alice moaned and opened her mouth to his demanding tongue, letting it duel with hers for dominance. Alice dug her fingernails into Chris' scalp, earning a groan from him, causing Chris to pull Alice away from the wall before slamming her back into it again. Alice gasped and pulled her mouth away from Chris long enough to attack his neck and ear. Chris pushed his hips against Alice's as he sucked on her pulse point.

There was a loud knock on the door, causing them both to groan and direct a deathly stare at the door. 'I wonder if Leon has any sense of survival.'

"You two done killing each other?" Leon enquired.

"Fuck off Leon." Alice half yelled, causing Chris to chuckle. Leon's hearty laugh could be heard as he headed back down the hall and down the stairs.

"We're being rude." Chris said. Alice chose to not reply, instead grinding her hips against his and pulling her teeth along the shell of his ear. Chris groaned and pushed Alice into the wall again.

"Yeah, we are, aren't we?" Alice breathed into Chris' ear.

"Keep doing that and I won't be caring that we're being rude." Chris said causing Alice to laugh.

"Try me." She whispered into his ear again. Chris laughed and let Alice down, holding onto her arms as she steadied herself. Alice smiled at Chris appreciatively and bit her lip.

"You're gonna wear it out if you keep doing that." Chris said as he pulled her bottom lip free from the assault her teeth were giving it.

"We should get cleaned up before we head back downstairs." Alice concluded. Chris nodded and gave her a peck on the lips.

"I have my bag over in my room. I have wet wipes." Alice said, turning away from Chris and heading to the door.

"Wet wipes? Do we have a toddler around that I don't know of?" Chris teased, eying Alice's backside as she walked from the room.

"Unless you count Leon, then no." Alice shot back over her shoulder as she reached the room she had been occupying. Her guns were exactly where she left them. Alice handed Chris a small bag containing the wet wipes and grinned as he kissed her on the lips again before heading out and back to his room.

Alice sighed and stepped over to the mirror in the bathroom to examine herself. Alice couldn't contain the gasp that slipped past her lips as she studied herself in the mirror. She had a split lip; blood trickling from her nose, her jaw had an ugly bruise running down over her neck as well as the ugly bruise that marred the side of her face as she pulled her hair back. Her body felt like a train had run over her. Her back hurt and she had fresh bruises marring her skin. Angry gashes along her back and thighs. Her knuckles were lacerated and she had a nasty cut on her arm from where she hit the wardrobe full on.

Alice sighed and winced as she cleaned herself up as best as she could. Pulling on a pair of sweats and a loose fitting shirt, Alice slipped on a pair of ballet flats and went downstairs.

Leon jumped up and practically ran over to her to inspect the damage on her face. He started swearing loudly as he tried to get a good look at her injuries while Alice swatted his hands away. Chris came down the stairs a few minutes after Alice and this caused Leon to swear even louder.

"Fuck me. You look even worse than she does. Is this what gets you two off huh? Beating the shit out of each other and then having sex in the ruins of what used to be a room? Fuck. Remind me not to get involved with either of you!" Leon huffed. Alice laughed at Leon, but as soon as she caught a look at the scolded schoolboy look on Chris' face, Alice laughed even louder.

"I'm pretty good when I'm good Leon, but I'm even better when I'm bad. Whips and chains excite me you know." Alice teased as she swayed her hips rhythmically over to the kitchen.

"You sure know how to pick them Redfield." Leon said as he sat back down and turned to his gun.

"Shut up Leon. Just because she doesn't do this to you, doesn't mean you can flame all over my parade." Chris mumbled as he sat down again in the chair facing the kitchen. Leon let out a hearty laugh, only to have it catch in his throat abruptly.

"What?" Chris enquired.

"Big boy is back." Leon whispered. "Except he's not alone this time." Chris made his way over to Leon and took a peek at who the company might be, just as Alice walked back into the room, carrying three bowls of Ramen noodles.

"What?" Alice asked as soon as she stepped back into the room. Leon and Chris looked back at Alice at the same time. Alice set the noodles down on a small side table and headed over to Leon and Chris, pushing them both out of the way to examine the scene outside. Alice gasped as she did a double take of the street. The words flew back into her mind again. 'Everywhere you go, you will bring death.'

"Umbrella." Alice breathed, clenching and unclenching her fists at her sides. Without even thinking properly, Alice grabbed a shotgun and flew out of the chair she had forced Leon from, running toward the door as fast as she could before Leon or Chris could stop her. 'This ends now.'
