ALICE
Everything was quiet, save for the humming of the vehicle, as it pressed onward toward Raccoon City. I sat, huddled in a ball beneath the blanket provided. Everyone must have thought I was still in a deep sleep, for none made a sound. I could hear them breathing, but I didn't want to look up. Angie must have been laying in the back seat asleep, I could hear her slow almost completely silent breathing. Jill, Carlos, and LJ were awake. Carlos had switched places with LJ and took over driving for a bit.
I might have stopped to question if they were really taking me to Raccoon City. But a feeling deep inside me told me that was exactly where we were going… We were close…
When I finally brought myself to pull my head up and glance around, I could see it was dawn. Everything was gray as clouds covered the sky. I blinked the sleep from my eyes and set my legs on the floor of the car.
"Finally awake?" Carlos asked, bringing everyone's attention to me.
"We almost there." LJ assured me as he looked over his shoulder.
"Why do you even want to go to Raccoon City anyway? You know its not there anymore."
"I know that. But… There's something there. I can feel it. Something we're missing or, something that's vital to something. Maybe proof of what happened there. I don't know. But its important whatever it is."
"Well, here…" Jill offered me some clothing and I slipped them on under the cover of the blanket. Black pants and a black turtleneck. Nothing special, but it worked better than the lab coat I had on.
I looked ahead through the front window. We were almost there. The rubble of Raccoon City lay ahead barely a few miles. Something was there… Something or someone…
Once the car came to a stop, I was the first one out. Where was it? Nothing around here but debris… It was out there, but what?
AN: Yeah, short I know. Sorry. I have chapters like these every now and then. Sorry! R&R!
