Matt+

I knew she was hurt, the look on her face told me so. But how could I tell her that Nemesis wanted to kill her every time we got close? I concentrated on ways to tell her that we couldn't touch. It was terrible, just when we confessed our love for each other, I find that we can't touch. Can't hug, hold hands, nothing. I was afraid Nemesis would break loose and do something horrible.

"Take this next road on the left." Alice said, her voice cold and angry. We were getting close, I could feel the tension in the air emanating from her. I would have to ready myself for anything.

It didn't take too long to get to our destination. It was a little old run down ghost town. All was abandoned, except of course the ominous brick warehouse at the end. Other than that, it looked like something straight out of an old western film.

"Very good. You two have excellent tracking skills. But I would expect no less from the both of you." As we pulled up in front of the warehouse, A man was standing, waiting. He had two bodyguards on either side of him. "Come in, come in. We'll negotiate."

"Where the hell are they?" Alice shouted, slamming the car door. I was afraid the windows would shatter with as hard as she closed the door.

"First we consult the boss." He said, turning and heading into the warehouse, knowing we'd follow.

"Alice…" I grabbed her arm, stopping her from just rushing in to break some necks. "Be careful, you wouldn't want them to hurt Angie." I grit my teeth as Nemesis scratched, trying to ware away the wall in the back of my mind. I released her arm when she looked back at me with an understanding, yet unsure smile. She was scared… truly afraid.

I followed close behind her, to let her know I was there for her. We stepped in and were led toward the back. As we walked in, the doors slid shut behind us. There was no escape… The only windows in this damned place were the little rectangular ones at the top of the walls near the ceiling. They had us boxed in. Now what?

Alice didn't seem to notice our positions, she just glared straight ahead, probably planning out an elaborate way of slaughtering these Umbrella jerks.

We were lead into a secure room that required a key card and a security code. As the digits were pressed I memorized the code from the sound on they keypad. 458211372 Nine digits… No doubt Alice did the same as I. We stepped in and stood there as the metal doors locked behind us. When we glanced around there was nobody in sight. It was a trap!

Just then a voice came from hidden speakers. "Cooperate and your friends shall go free." A holographic projection appeared on the wall before us, showing us the hostages. They were all strapped down to operating tables, struggling against their binds.

"What do you want from us?" Alice growled.

"I want you to turn yourselves over to us. If you agree to cause no trouble, then they will be released. Say no… We'll just use these four as our next test subjects. We have modified the T-virus and are anxious to try it."

"You'll use them for your sick games if we turn ourselves over to you or not."

The man on the other side let out a chuckle. He knew Alice had guessed correctly. He couldn't just let them go… not when he knew they'd cause trouble, especially since they knew the location of one of their facilities.

"Don't you trust me?"

Alice curled her lip and growled. There was silence. Finally, the person on the other side spoke up.

"Tell you what. I'll let one of you go, so you can ensure your friends' safety." He had to have been bluffing.

I glanced at Alice and she returned the glance. She must have known what I was thinking because she gave her head a slight shake telling me no. I turned my attention back to the holographic screen before me… That poor little girl… She looked so frightened.

"If I turn myself over… You'll leave them alone?" Alice seemed to believe him.

"Perhaps. But, you're not the one we're interested in."

Alice looked at me. "Me? You want me?" I asked looking around.

"Precisely. We wish to examine your cellular structure, study how the virus has managed to reverse itself."

I looked at her apologetically and she shook her head, trying to tell me not to do it. I stepped forward. "Alright."

"Matt, no. You can't do this. There's got to be another way." She turned her attention to trying to find the source of the voice. "Show yourself coward and we can 'negotiate'."

"Look at her Alice." I said, never taking my eyes away from the little girl on the screen. "She needs you. You're the one she trusts. I can see it."

"Damnit! I'm not losing you again! Look what they did to you the last time!"

"There is no other choice. I've got to do it. For you… for them…" I forced a smile, finally looking over at her. "Besides, I know we'll see each other again."

"Very good." Said the man on the other side. "If you'll step forward… that's a good lad."

I took a couple steps forward. Alice moved toward me but before she could reach me, a set of glass doors moved in and barricaded me from her. I looked back as her fists came down on the thick glass. "Matt! Don't do this!" she yelled.

(A/N: Here's a classic XD)

I tried my best to smile and reached a hand out to touch the glass. She opened the palm of her hand and it was almost as if we were touching hands through the glass. Guards stepped in from behind me. I went without a fuss, looking back at Alice one last time, catching the sight of a single tear as it ran down her cheek.

Alice… I did it for you…
