"Matt wouldn't hurt us! He isn't the Nemesis anymore. They did this to him! It isn't his fault." I tried to defend Matt. Jill had obviously had some time to think while she was out and decided that he would endanger us all.

"He isn't to be trusted though. He's been on their side before, who's to say he won't turn back? What if he remembers everything and decides to finish the job? Then what? We'll have another Raccoon City before we know it."

I can admit, she did have a point. But I trusted Matt, and I defended him. "Listen. When I told you to finish off your friend back in the graveyard, you refused and I went along with it. Now show the same courtesy." I glared at her and stood when I heard the bathroom door open.

"Yeah, but remember he killed Patan." Jill whispered, returning the glare. "You'd better watch your back."

Jill had decided it would be best if she didn't sleep in the same room as Matt. And she felt a need to protect Angie, so she'd rented another room just on the other side of this one. Angela just sat on the bed, slowly chewing her food as her eyes darted from one to the other.

When Matt stepped out, Jill rose and headed for the door. "Come on Angie." She said, trying to disguise her hatred for Matt.

Once they were out, I let out a sigh and relaxed my muscles. I'd been tense, ready to fight Jill if she tried anything to hurt Matt. Matt didn't say anything as he lay on the bed and pulled the sheets up and over his shoulder, hugging them tightly.

"Hey… We've got burgers. Don't you want to eat your food?" I waited for a reply, but got nothing. I didn't think much of it, he must still be tired.

I couldn't help but lightly smile as I sunk down into a chair in the far corner of the room. I didn't want to lay down, I knew I had to monitor his condition. Poor Matt, those Umbrella bastards really fucked up his world. While I sat there, listening to his slow breathing. I knew he'd fallen into a deep sleep. Memories flashed through my mind…

Confused and dazed from the neuro-gas, I stepped outside of the mansion. The sound of something drawing near frightened me and I started to back up. Suddenly, I was grabbed from behind and jerked inside.

"What are you doing!? Get away from me! Let go!" I screamed as the stranger ran through the mansion, pulling me along. Something broke though the window and just before it set off, he threw himself over me in a protective manor.

Staring at the "window" I watched a scene of Raccoon City play out. Fake, considering we were underground and this picture portrayed us several stories high.

"Makes it easy to work underground." I glanced at Matt as he studied the window. "They can know the view."

"Who was she?"

"My sister." He lay over the cold body of his deceased sibling.

"Come on! There's too many of them!" Matt grabbed me and helped me to the pipes in order to escape the zombies in that tunnel.

Matt collapsed, holding his arm in pain. He was infected! And I had to help him. "It's going to be okay." I assured him as I set to work opening the box. "I'm NOT losing you!"

Suddenly a white light burst into the room. Umbrella scientist in quarantine uniforms stepped in. Three grabbed Matt off the floor. I desperately tried to get t him. What were those bastards doing!? I tried fighting my way out of their grasp, calling to him. "MATT!" I yelled just as he was carted away. He looked so helpless and so much in pain. I had to do something!

I slammed my fist into Nemesis as he was impaled on the metal bar. It was then I realized what I'd done. Tears formed in my eyes as I stared up into the one eye that peered down at me, begging me to finish him off. "Matt I'm so sorry!" I whispered to him as I took a step back.
