Disclaimer: I don't own the super cool series Resident Evil, no matter how much I want to. They all belong to the geniuses of good ol' Capcom! I'm just a RE fan that plays way too much RE and daydreams a lot! So I just write fics for the hell of it!
Authoress' Notes: Alexandra "Alex" is mine. Leon is in his fucking sexy RE4 style. Nickleback's Saving Me is Alex's theme. Leon's Theme is now Hero by Chad. Still trying to keep it as close as I can to Survival Horror but can't help sticking in fanstasy stuff. I'm a RPG fanstasy fan freak, so sue me. Rejoice everyone! The BOWs are coming out to play! We're one step closer to the first real cool boss battle deal, but still several chapters away!
Final Note: Happy day! One of my loyal readers actually got Alex's true identity right! YAY! Can anyone else figure it out? Oh, and since the vote was basically a tie, I'll try to balance it in this chappy. Resident Evil Gaiden...Damnit! It had Leon! LEON! Why didn't I get the game?! I mean, rumor has it that Leon was actually infected in the game! Is it true?! I need to know! I want the full story! If you have the game, please use my e-mail address in my bio and tell me everything that happened in that game! Please!!!
Authoress' Thanks: To everyone who love my fic! And to those who helped me write it by giving me some traps to use. Sabertooth and Wolf, thank you for your swinging axe idea! I'll use it again for while. Blitz12, thank you for the hidden mine hall!
Enjoy this chappy! R&R!

The Resurrection of the Nightmare
Chapter Six: Traps 'n' a pissed off Sally!
BOW and Virus labs -
"WHAT THE FUCK DO YOU MEAN THAT YOU DON'T KNOW WHERE MY BABY IS!?" Sally roared as the group of grunts cringed at her screaming. Wesker flinched and shook his head. Sometimes being a human BOW and having heighten senses sucked. He stood next to her office, leaning casually against the wall and half listened to what she was screaming about. So she had a baby... wonder who fucked her. Wesker mused as he gazed about the lab, still trying to figure out how to get the BOW samples and leave. A grunt came flying out of the office door and Wesker watched him fly by. Nice air. Sally continued to rage and toss grunts everywhere as she worried over her child that was missing.
"Ma'am...if you could calm down..." one grunt began and the woman raged. "CALM DOWN!? MY CHILD IS MISSING AND YOU WANT ME TO FUCKING CALM DOWN?!" Wesker sighed, he knew what was going to happen next. The female scientist was one of the types that didn't like to be touched by other people. Well, she won't allow most people touch her. Wesker scowled. He wished that he was one of ones that couldn't touch her, meaning that he would be free to walk the halls a facility and not get tackled by her. He knew that the grunt was going to grab her in order to calm her down. And that alone would set her off.

"DON'T FUCKING TOUCH ME!!" the scientist shrieked angrily. There was a loud crack and the grunt was hurled out of the office with an arm that didn't bend the way it was supposed to. Wesker hissed inwardly as he allowed a second of his imagination to replace the grunt with himself sporting an arm that bent backwards akwardly. Ow. He was a hell of a lot stronger than her grunts but if he pissed her off, she couldn't careless if she found out he was a BOW, she'll kill him then study what remained of his broken body.
"Not a pretty picture." Wesker muttered as Sally fired her Glock and the group of grunts scurried away from her office like bats out of hell. She stalked out of the room and fired her weapon into the group. Her aim was so well and precise, that she could fire into her lab without fear of hitting any of the sensitive equipment. A bullet flew right between two glass testubes and slammed into the back of a grunt's head. Wesker smiled a little at the aim. Difficulty level...ten.
"PANSY-ASSED MOTHER FUCKERS!" she raged, "FIND MY BABY NOW!!"
Wesker sighed and held out a cup that was filled with a strange liquid. Sally turned to glare at him but as soon as she spotted the cup, her rage disappeared, replaced by an eerie calmness. She took the cup and sipped it lightly. She allowed the warm liquid to soothe her throat and she sighed happily. Green tea...nature's version of an anti-rage drug. It cures rage, anger, sadness, depression and also does a body good. Keeps other bodies good.
"Thank you." Sally chirped as she took another sip from the cup. Wesker merely rolled his eyes heavenward from behind his shades, but faked a smiled for her to see. He had to keep playing nice 'til the time was right to get the samples... or whenever he got the chance to keep out of Sally's sight.
"Sally, you must keep a cool and level head if you want to get rid of GenX's troops." Wesker purred darkly, trying to get her focused on the task at hand. At least the one that'll keep her busy.
"Yes, a true leader keeps calm and sharp." she chanted softly and smiled, "Ahh...that felt good."
"Good." Wesker kept an eye on the computers behind her, "How are the traps doing?"
The female scientist blinked for a second then raced for the computers. She quickly sat down in front of one and tapped on a few keys, bringing up the feeds of the cameras placed all over the castle. She scrolled through a few and came upon that held three people that were further through than the grunts. The picture quality was poor so she couldn't see the small group well enough but she could tell that there were a couple of men and one young woman.
"The sercurity system is holding up very well but it seems that there's a group that penatrated further in than I thought." Sally reported as she sat back and grinned a little. "It seems that they passed through the "safe", "heaven", and "hell" halls. I'm impressed."
"How so? They just went through a hall." Wesker muttered dryly, not in the least impressed. The scientist's grin widen as she swiveled her chair about to face her crush.
"Ah, but the Three Halls of Death are one of my best traps. They could only go through two of the halls, third is merely a decoy and doesn't lead anywhere."
"So?"
"By putting pychology into play we can trick our enemies into going the decoy hall, without so much as lifting a finger."
"How do you trick them into doing that?"
"By the way we had lit the halls."
"You trick people into traps by using light?"
"Yes. The "safe" hall has a fair amount of light, letting the enemy think it's safe. Therego, making them think it's safe enough to cross without taking into account about the hidden mines littering the floor. But they're only under the discolored tiles."
"So they have a 50/50 chance of not being blown to bits?"
"Right. My decoy hall, the "heaven" hall is the deadliest hall of them all, since no one has actually passed through it. Even if they did, the hall is nothing more than a dead end, forcing them to backtrack through it. Therefore, another chance to see them be riddled with arrows."
"And the "hell's" hall?"
"My favorite. That hall has two traps. Crushing walls and swinging axes. The further anyone progressed through that hall, the faster the walls slam shut."
"And the axes?"
"They're hidden all the around the hall. The axes are in the ceiling, floor and walls. The axes themselves are set in a pattern and lash out without warning to kill anyone within it."
"So if they figure out the pattern, they can get out of the hall alive."
"Right. And it seems they firgured it out and made it through. They're very impressive."
Wesker grinned, "Why Dr. Vincent don't tell me you've grown fond of them and are going to let them through."
Sally's grinned wickedly, "You're half right. They could make for some very useful subjects for new BOW designs that I've been dying to use." She swiveled her chair around and began to type in some more code. "But I want to see them in action for a bit more and see if my guess is correct about them. If it is then they would make excellent BOWs of unstoppable power. Let's see if they can pass through this..."
-------------------------------------------------------------
Somewhere on the third floor of the castle facility...
"Leon, Zee... Somerthing's wrong..." Alex whispered to the two men as they walked down a hall and stopped in a room. Zee tensed and gazed around carefully while keeping his gun held high. Leon backed up a few steps to stand next his younger sister. They stood there for several seconds, waiting for anything to happen. But all was quiet. Is there really something wrong or is she wrong for once?
" 'ey, I don't want to sound doubtful but..." Zee muttered as he continued to look over every inch of the room, "are ya sure, Alex?"
The young cop glanced at his sister, hoping against hope that she would say that she was wrong...but... the look in her eyes suggested that she wasn't sure. As if she wasn't aware that they were speaking to her, like she was arguing with herself.
So... another hall, another danger, hmm?
Cut the crap, O Mysterious Voice. What's wrong with this room?
Ooh hoo, so now little Alex wants some help.
Listen, I'm only asking for help so I can save my brother and my friend.
Still clinging to the idea that this "Leon" is your brother? Please, what he says to you is nothing more than a mere lie.
Are you still bitching about that? I don't care what you think of him, all I want is get out of here with the two alive.
Like I said, 'You've been through here before.' All I can say is to let your senses guide you as always. As for Leon... can you really think of him like a brother when the truth comes to light? Believe me...what he'll say to you will take a big chomp out of your heart.
As if you care. No matter what Leon says to me it will never change what I think of him. He is and will always be my brother.
...So you say now. But what will you do when he reveals the truth? As a teenager your emotions are at their most vulnerable. You will be hurt , you will be confused, and you will be torn between your raging emotions. Will you continue to love him as a brother... or hate him as an enemy? I can tell there is doubt growing in your heart. Is it because you're finally realizing the truth?
No. The doubt you are sensing... is about myself. I believe Leon is my brother but... I don't know anything about me... Or why I'm here in this castle.
That is a question you should ask Leon about... or are you afraid to ask? Remember Alex, the path you'll take is never right or wrong, it can be on the thin line down the center. Remember this, for it can be helpful to you.
Alex pushed the voice aside before the thought could sink in. Why in the hell did she say that to a weird voice in her head? What business did the voice have in asking such things from her? What scared her more was that the voice was actually making some sense... Wait... what the hell was she thinking?! No, Leon is my brother. He's my brother, I'm his sister, we are family, nothing odd about it. But what the voice was saying... No, keep focus. The voice is lying about Leon, that's it. Nothing more, nothing less. Now...focus on the room. What is wrong with it?
"Alex?"
The call snapped her out of her thoughts and she blinked rapidly. Leon was looking at her with concern as was Zee. She looked between the two, confused.
"Huh?"
"Are you okay?" Her brother lowered his weapon and gazed at her. She blinked again and nodded wordlessly.
"Uh...yeah. I just got lost in thought."
"It must've a pretty deep thought." Zee said, "We've been callin' for a while now."
Alex lowered her gaze, "Sorry."
The grunt smiled warmly, "Don't be. It must've been stress kickin' in."
Leon smiled as well, "That's true. Stress can be distracting." He looked a little sad afterward, "Um, what was wrong with the room?"
Alex froze. Oh shit, she forgot to get the answer from the voice! She looked around the room, trying to let her senses guide her but what the voice had said to her was clouding her thoughts. Wait... there must have been a clue in what that voice said to her. Now, what exactly did it say? And why does it sound so fucking familiar?
Suddenly, her senses were screaming at her to move. Like. NOW! Alex whirled around and stared down the room and peered into the hall where they walked from as the floor quaked beneath their feet. Just what the hell is coming at them now!?
As if to answer their unspoken question...
CRASH!
Two large metal...things...erupted from both the ceiling and the floor and "stared" at them from half way down the hall. The trio of heroes were only down one fourth into the room. They swung their weapons at it and tensed, waiting to see what it will do. Alex stared at it, trying to figure out exactly what it does. It... it looked familiar. What did the voice say?! What clue did the voice say?!
Leon glanced at his sister as she continued to stare at the metal monstristy. Why was she so memserized by it? Sure, it was fucking large and was scaring the crap out of everyone. But... she was looking at it like she was confused. Alex stared at the odd metal thing down the hall. It was so familiar, she knew it but didn't know why. She casted a glance at Leon, who looked back at her. Don't let what the voice said about Leon affect you. Remember, the voice is lying about Leon. Focus on the trap. She looked away and focused on the two piece metal thing, watching in shock as it started to change.
The twin metal thing continued to stare at them as the one of the two ends fused together, making them look like a giant pair of tweezers. Tweezers with a "mouth" big enough to fill the width of the hall. What was the clue? What was the clue? The teenager thought hard and the answer came to her.
'Believe me...what he'll say to you will take a big chomp out of your heart.'
"Chomp..." Alex murmured as Zee glanced at her with a confused expression. She lowered her weapon and took a step forward. She paused as she suddenly berated herself. Why in the hell did she doubt her brother!? This wasn't like her! Leon was her only family and family don't doubt each other. Damn that voice who was messing with her mind.
" 'ey, Alex. Why are you goin' toward it?" Zee asked, "That's a trap, right? Why are you going to the trap?"
The teenager took another step forward, never taking her eyes off the tweezer like thing. "Chomp..."
" 'Chomp?' It's a pair of tweezers!" the grunt hissed as he continued to watch the..um..trap. Alex shook her head in disagreement, still totally absorbed by the odd feeling that she knew this trap. The group was so caught up with the teenager acting odd that they didn't notice that the "tweezers" grew metal teeth. Teeth that seemed to grin evilly at them. Leon's younger sister could not take her eyes off of it, something was telling her to stare at it a bit longer. Something was bubbling up in her head... something she was curious about. This familiar yet surreal feeling was nagging at the back of her mind...
Leon stepped up to her and placed a hand on her shoulder, "Alex?"
"Chomp..." she mumbled, "Chomp..."
" 'Chomp?' Alex, are you saying that this trap...chomps?"
The teenager nodded wordlessly, still staring at the metal thing in awe. Well, she did for about another two seconds before the metal tweezer thing shot forward in a sudden burst of speed and chomped on the hall. The trio jumped in surprise, whirled around and ran down the room as "Chompy" chewed its way down.
"Holy shit holy shit holy shit!" Zee yelped as the threesome raced down the length of the room, "Since when do the Jaws of Life act like that!?"
Leon ran along side him, pumping his arms for speed. "Jaws of Life?! More like Jaws of Death!"
They blazed down the large room and neared the exit as "Chompy" continued to eat its way to them. A large arch doorway welcomed them, promising salvation with open arms and the trio flew through the arch way as the heavy metal doors slammed shut behind them, blocking "Chompy". They continued their run, happy to see another doorway for them to escape to and leave the giant jaws behind. Unfortunately, their happiness was short lived as the doorway they were heading to slammed shut before them, trapping them in the room as "Chompy" slammed against the doors behind them.
The trio skidded to halt before the locked door and panicked. How in the world are they going to get out of this now?! Zee threw himself at the door and banged it with his fists, desperate to get out. Leon looked around quickly, hoping to see a key or something to unlock the door. Alex was looking between the denting door and the three levers in front of the door they wanted to unlock. Curious and forgetting the jawed nightmare behind them, she walked over to the levers and stared at them. Maybe...?
"Leon, look what I found!" she called out as she tapped on one, "What do these do?"
The two men jogged over to her and looked at the odd levers sticking out of the floor. The rookie cop studied them and smiled, hugging his sister tightly. The grunt stared at him like he was nuts, then looked behind them. The metal doors were denting quickly as the trap slammed into them again. He jumped as one of the doors' bolts popped off when the trap slammed into the doors again.
" 'ey, this is all cute an' everythin' but can someone please just tell me what's up with the levers?" Zee hissed, looking back at them. Leon still wore the boyish grin as he wrapped his hand around the right lever.
"These, Zee, are the keys to getting the hell out of this room. One of them opens the door." the young cop answered as he pulled on the lever.
Nothing happened.
"Aye, that's nice..." the grunt said sarcastically, "And if ya pull on the wrong one? Then what? Nothing?"
"I guess so." the cop muttered, a look of disappointment crossing his blue eyes. Alex narrowed her eyes at the right lever before her senses yelled out a warning. Something went wrong! Look around! She looked around frantically, seeing nothing wrong with the room around them but... She looked up and saw that the ceiling was lowering itself to the floor. Slowly but surely, the ceiling was coming down and they didn't have much time to panic before either trap got to them.
"Uh-oh..." the teenager said in the classic kiddy voice, "Are falling ceilings bad?"
The two men looked at her in confusion before lifting their gaze and seeing the ceiling lower itself another two inches. The color drained from both their faces as their eyes widen in fear. The two looked at each other then at the lever and both grabbed for it. They yanked on the lever to bring it back to its former position but the little device refused to move from its current spot. They continued to pull at it until...
SNAP!
The right lever snapped in half from strain and the ceiling continued to its decent. Zee glared at Leon as they both held the broken lever in their hands. The grunt threw it aside and snapped at the other as panic started to settle into their minds. "Chompy" was still ramming at the metal doors.
BANG!
"DAMNIT LEON!" Zee griped, "Why did ya have to pull on it so hard?!"
"ME?! Who's the one that pulled it in the wrong direction!?" Leon snapped back, "Who died and made you leader!?"
BANG!
"Perry, that's who! Why did ya have to pull on the right one?!"
"Well, how in the fuck was I supposed to know that the right one was going to activate a falling ceiling!?"
BANG!
"If ya haven't noticed but the right way was never our best bet!"
Alex perked at the statement. Right way?
"Like I knew that we should picking the wrong ways?!"
The teenager tilted her head the mention of it. Wrong way?
BANG!
Alex cringed at the defeaning sound and thought hard about the clues as the two traps closed in on them. She tried to remember the voice's clues but the argument between her brother and Zee were getting on her nerves. She knew that they meant no harm since it was triggered by fear and panic but still...
"Besides, who made ya leader of the pack!?"
"I've already said that! And since you dared to ask, I'll tell you! When I saved your sorry ass from that rolling ball of death!"
"Ha! Who saved who's ass?! If I recall correctly, yer the one that lost it first an' was nearly turned into bloody scrape on the wall!"
BANG!
"Alex was the one who saved me!"
"Yeah with me an' Perry's help!"
"Come say that to my face!"
BANG!
"I AM saying to yer face!"
"SHUT UP BOTH OF YOU!!" Alex screamed angrily, whirling around and facing the two fighters, ice blue eyes blazing in anger. "SHUT UP AND LET ME THINK!"
(A/N: Ahh, that lovely line... Dot from the hit series Reboot. I LOVE this line. Alex reminded me of Dot when she's under stress of thinking up plans. I miss that show... How could Cartoon Network pull that show down when the series wasn't even over yet!?)
Both men stopped their argument and froze at her sudden outburst. They stood perfectly still, afraid that if they so much as moved an inch that it would piss her off even more. Seeing that the two had stopped, the teenager calmed down a bit and added in a softer tone.
BANG!
"Zee, I want you to keep an eye on that metal door, okay?"
The grunt nodded silently and she smiled a bit. She turned to Leon.
"Leon, I want you to keep an eye on the ceiling and tell me how far away it is, okay?"
The rookie cop nodded wordlessly.
"Good. Now I'm trying to figure out which of the last two levers opens the door, okay?"
Both men nodded and kept quiet as they took their respective tasks.
BANG!
"Chompy" continued to bang away at the dented doors as Alex quickly went back to her thoughts as she looked between the center and left levers. What was the voice's clues? Come on, girl, think. What was one of the last things it said...?
'Remember Alex, the path you'll take is never right or wrong, it can be on the thin line down the center
That's it!
She reached out and pulled on the center lever. Leon yelped in surprise and stared at the hole that suddenly appeared on the lowering ceiling. Whatever made that hole leapt out of it and headed straight for the rookie cop's position. He dove out of the thing's path as it landed on his spot with a loud bam! Zee and Alex whirled around to face the thing that dropped in from the decending ceiling. It was the size of a human, green with scales covering its body like armor. It looked like a deranged lizard that decided to stand on its hind legs. The lizard like thing turned to them, arched its body back and emitted a high pitched shriek of bloodlust.
Alex cried out in pain as she covered her ears to block out the shriek while Leon and Zee flinched at the sound. Why? Why did the screaming hurt her ears more than her brother and friend? Both she and Zee stared at the human lizard with wide eyes. Why is thing so familiar?
"Sweeper!" Zee yelled out and Leon remembered what Chris had told him about these guys while he was out looking for Claire in Rockfort. Hunters with poison claws...! (A/N: Not Sally's BOWs, they're from Code: Veronica. Thank you S.D. Perry)
Alex stared at it before her eyes half closed and she whispered something about them. "Sweepers, upgraded versions of the 121series, commonly called Hunters. Used in assassination pratices. Their razor sharp claws are constantly dripping with toxic poisons for better poisoning their targets for a fast easy kill. Their scales are armor plated and hard to penatrate with small firearms. Intelligent enough to dodge firearms at long range and can destroy weapons at close range. Weakness: constant fire at one location, primarily the head." she murmured quietly in monotone.
She shook her head to clear it as the Sweeper shrieked again and lunged for them, claws outstreched to strike at a moment's notice. They scattered as it leaped for them, and ran around it, confusing it. Zee made a grab for the left lever and Sweeper noticed. It twisted around and swiped at his arm, ripping the long sleeve off but not touching the skin. The grunt yanked his arm back in shock and instinctively fired at it. The creature dodged the bullet and pounced at him with a scream. It knocked him to the floor and was about to drive its claws into his face, when a hail of bullets forced it off the grunt. It leaped back and shrieked in anger for not getting its kill.
Leon stood not too far away with the end of his M16 barrel smoking. "Come on! We need to get out of here!" he said as he ran to fallen comrade and hoisted him to his feet. The creature screamed in again and leapt at the rookie cop, ready to dig its claws into his body but was blasted away from him by the teenager.
She glared at it and fired again, pushing it back away from her friends. The Sweeper screamed at her and leaped forward but was blasted out of the air by her shotgun. The shell buried itself into the creature's gut and ripped it open, purplish blood flowing from its wound. The Sweeper howled in pain and leaped away from her, splattering blood on the floor as it jumped. Alex spotted something hanging around the creature's neck and chased after it, switching her weapons and firing her M16 at it.
"Alex, what are you doing!? We don't have time to kill this thing! The ceiling is about to drop on us and the metal doors are about to cave in!" her brother yelled as she continued to fire at the creature, who was now running away from her.
"Aye! The door out of here is unlocked, we gotta go!" Zee called out but noticed the change of the Sweeper's movements. " 'ey, Leon! Is that...thing...?"
"Running away from my sister?" he finished for him as the creature raced away from the teenager, afraid of her now. "Yeah...I'm having a hard time believing this... A dangerous bio-weapon created by Umbrella for the sole purpose of ripping people to shreds... reduced to being a pansy and running from my little sister."
"Aye, that's something ya don't see every day." the grunt agreed, " I kinda feel sorry for it. Leave it alone, Alex! We gotta go!"
Alex refused to stray from her target, "We can't leave if this thing is still alive!"
"I rather let it live so we can kill it in a more safe location!" Zee yelled as the "Chompy" slammed the doors again and the ceiling coming ever closer to them.
"No! The door is still locked!"
"What!?"
"The door won't open until we kill the Sweeper!
"Why!?"
"Because it has the goddamn key to the fucking door we want to go through!"
Both men stared at each other then watched as the Sweeper shrieked in panic and continued to run from the hunting teen girl. They watched them race around for bit before lifting their weapons and joined in the chase. If killing the Sweeper, getting its key, unlock the door and getting out of this death trap is the only way to survive right now... then so be it. Why argue with her now if she's been right so far?
The Sweeper shrieked as it found two new additions to its chase. Alex motioned them to surround it and told them to aim for the open wound on its stomach. The two men obeyed and broke off, going in two different directions and circling around it. The BOW soon found itself surrounded in three directions, unable to leap away from the circle, the Sweeper was trapped.
-------------------------------------------
BOW and Virus Labs...
Sally watched in fascination as Umbrella's Sweeper was riddled with bullets, its body dancing to the rapid beat of the weapons. Of course she knew that the Sweeper was useless, if the Raccoon City STARS were able to get past the 121 series, then this was no different. It was a Hunter with poison claws, that was hardly an approvement at all. But her versions were much more cleverly designed than a simple upgrade.
"Well, well they got the key to escape the room." she mused as the trio opened the door and fled the room just at the chomp trap broke the doors and headed for them. It didn't make it though, the ceiling collasped on top of it, crushing it to the floor in a scream of twisting metal. The trap staff didn't do a good job of putting it together. It was her trap but they didn't follow instructions to the letter and screwed up a perfectly brilliant trap.
She sighed. This wasn't a good day for her but at least Wesker was here to keep her company and save her from GenX's troops. She glanced at the reflection on one corner of the montior and noticed that Wesker was gone. She blinked in surprise before she narrowed her green eyes in anger. So he was right! Umbrella...! Sally reached for her Glock, quietly got up from her chair and entered the next room with rage boiling in her blood.
Wesker carefully placed the BOW DNA samples into a pocket sized protective case and slipped them into his jacket pocket. He closed the cyro tube back in place and opened the other. He reached for another case and began to place more samples into it. He needed two of each kind there were at least sixty BOWs that Sally created. He needed to hurry and get back to the computer room before the scientific bitch knew he was gone.
(A/N: Think of it like Jurassic Park. When that fat guy was stealing Dino DNA to sell off to some other company. Yeah, just picture Wesker doing that...only not putting them in a shaving cream can.)
"What are you doing?" Sally's voice asked which startled Wesker but he didn't show it. He only cringed, thankfully his back was turned to her. He placed one sample back and turned slowly, putting on a poker's face.
"Ah, Sally. I was just admiring your work here, you're doing an excellent job with the BOW research." Wesker purred darkly as he adjusted his shades.
The scientist galnced behind him, one tube was open, revealing her creations' DNA for hr to see. "I see. By taking a closer look in the cyro tube room? Where my BOWs' DNA samples are?" she questioned, her fingers running lightly on a labtop and glaring at him. She wasn't buying this one bit and she knew that Wesker knew.
He stepped away from the tubes and walked toward her with a cat like stride. Normally, she would whoop for joy if Wesker was flirting with her but she knew he was acting. A man flirts with a scorned woman in order to not get in trouble with her. She wasn't going to let him slip by this time, but decided to play along. She smiled and led him away from the room, walked toward an area next to a computer and sure enough Wesker followed her. She let her hand linger on the computer's keyboard, tapping keys playfully as Wesker continued his sorry act of flirtation.
"Sally, your work is most excellent. I've never seen such fine design in all my years in Umbrella's labs." Captain Wesker purred as he stepped closer to her. She smiled icily. Her dream had come true but sadly for the wrong reason.
"Thank you, Wesker." Sally grinned, "Tell me. What happened to William Birkin?"
The question caught Wesker completely off guard. He hesistated, fumbling for an answer and the scientist confirmed her guess. He wasn't here to rescue her, only here to steal her research. "Uh...Birkin?"
"Yes, your training buddy from Umbrella's Training facility in the Arklay forests?"
"He was killed by the STARS when they raided his facility to take his research and expose Umbrella."
"Really?"
"Really."
Sally tapped at the keyboard a little more. "Funny. I heard that Umbrella grew impatient and tried to take his research. When he refused to let them have it since it wasn't done... the UBCS killed him. But before he died, he injected himself with his virus."
"Well, rumors are false nowadays." Wesker said, looking uncomfortable at the conversation.
"Is that right?" she growled, "Well, then why don't you tell that to him?" She turned toward a wall that slid open and out walked William Birkin, back in his human form. He glared at Wesker then smiled cruely.
"Hello, Albert." he sneered, "Surprised to see me alive?"
"Birkin...?!"
Sally grinned, "Yes, the one and only William Birkin. I found him among the rubble of his facility after the explosion. Barely alive you see and I took him here and brought him back to strength. And while he was recovering he told me a interesting story about Umbrella."
Wesker turned to her in shock. Oh, crap. This is not bolding well for me... "And that is..?"
"Umbrella seems to take into heart of elimating those who don't like sharing their research with them when they think its ready. Dr. James Marcus disappeared after he refused to share his finds. William was attacked when Umbrella thought his research was ready to take when it was clearly not. And now you're doing the same to me." Sally snapped, anger blazing her green eyes. "You weren't sent to save the facility or me! You're here only to steal my research so Umbrella can stamp it like it was theirs!"
Wesker gulped when Sally whipped out her Glock 17 and aimed it right between his eyes. He froze as she walked forward and grabbed the case he had on him. She edged back next to the computer and grinned evilly at him as she placed a hand on the computer's keyboard.
"If you want to steal my research that badly then you can join in the fun!" she cackled and pressed a key. The floor around Wesker dropped open, far too wide to jump aside and he dropped through. "Happy Landings, dear! Enjoy the maze that you have to run through you rat!"
Birkin snickered as he remembered the expression on Wesker's face when he stepped through. Priceless. Sally headed back to the computer room and tapped on a few keys, her fingers a blur. Birkin joined her and looked through the montiors.
"So what are you going to do now?" he asked as she continued to type. Her face still held fury that needed to be vented in someway.
"I'm going to release a few BOWs to keep Wesker busy and entertain our guests." she bit out Wesker's name in anger, "Then I'm going to get some green tea. Those bumbling grunts better have found my child by now if they want to live beyond today."
Birkin smiled, "I see. This should be interesting."
