Chapter 7

Chris pulled into one of the parking spaces at the airport. He was about to get out of the car when Leon stopped them.

"Wait, Ark and I will go in. We can take our guns in. We have our badges. We will tell them that we are picking a very important person up." said Leon

"Ahh man. Now I gotta go? Damn. Alright. Got your shit? Lets go find the security." said Ark.

Leon and Ark walk into the airport by themselves. Chris and the others waited with guns pulled out in the car hoping that nothing would happen to them.

Leon and Ark walked up to the first security guard they saw. They pulled out their badges and showed them to him. He pulled out a walkie-talkie and said a few things. Then he beckoned that they follow him. He lead them to a door in a back room. Both of the agents entered.

A large fat man with a huge mustache came up to them and shook both of their hands. He gestured them to sit down.

"So, your gonna pick up a person huh? Which gate?"

"We weren't told sir. It's a flight straight out of D.C. We have to have our firearms with us sir. It's a requirement." said Leon.

"I believe ya two. I'll let you past security. But I gotta ask. Who is it?"

"We aren't allowed to say. The subject is going into protective custody. They will be placed into hiding sir. Can't tell ya who because they people looking for that person might kill ya." said Ark in a serious tone.

"W-w-well yes. I understand. I will look up what flight. And you two can go on your way." said the fat man.

He pulled some files and wrote down the gate number. Leon took it and walked out of the room first, Ark soon followed.

"Ark. You are so stupid. You know that?" asked Leon with a chuckle.

"You know I'm the king. Now let's find Monkey-Face."

"Monkey-Face?"

"Yeah, my new nickname for Ashley. What I didn't tell you?"

"No. Why is it that?"

"You know why. She has a monkey face, and the huge ears don't help with that face. It's kinda creepy actually. And she's annoying like a monkey too."

"You... are such an asshole."

"You thought it was funny and you know it."

"No.. I .. HEY!" screamed Leon.

Leon rose his arms when he saw Ada and Ashley.

"Holy shit... she's beautiful. I understand why you fell for her in like one night. Even though that is totally stupid and I don't think that could happen at all." said Ark with a astonished look on his face.

"Leon!" Ashley screamed. She ran to both of the men.

"Ada. I see we don't have a debt anymore." said Leon.

"Seems that way. Well I must be off."

"Wait." said Ark

"Ark Thompson I presume" said Ada in a cool soft voice.

"How di-"

"I read your file. Keep those kids safe now. I have to go. See you guys around." she gracefully spun around and walked off into a large group of people.

Leon grabbed Ashley by the hand and they hastily got out of the airport. They walked to the Denali and got in. Ark got in passenger. Leon sat in the middle next to Claire. It seems Jill moved to the middle seat as well so she was on his other side. Leon knew that Claire made her move up next to them. Claire doesn't know Ashley so she doesn't want to sit by her. Ashley had to get in the back with Lott and Lily. She had a sad look on her face when sat in the seat and buckled her seat belt.

Chris drove off. As they were leaving Claire put her head on Leon's shoulder and kept it there. Ashley thought of it as a statement. She knew that Leon was hers.

"Hi! I'm Lily." said the small girl that sat next to Ashley.

"And I'm Lott." said the boy in an uneasy voice.

"Uh. I'm Ashley."

Leon turned around and smiled.

"I guess you should know these people. These are most of them. Some are meeting up with us. And some went into hiding on their own." said Leon in a sincere voice.

The woman on the right side of Leon turned around. She let out her hand to shake it with Ashley.

"I'm Jill Redfield. Nice to meet you. I'm married to Chris." she said while pointing to the driver.

"Yo." said the older man. He turned around for one second and gave Ashley a wave.

Leon nudged the woman to the left of him and she let out a groan. She turned around and looked at her with a smile.

"Hi... I'm Claire, it's nice to finally meet you."

"Hi Claire. Nice to meet you too. Leon said a lot about you." said Ashley.

"Uh. Hey Ashley!" said Ark to break the crap up.

"Hi Ark."

"Lily and Lott are mine. So if they act up.. Hit 'em real hard. I wont complain about the abuse."

"Oh...uh.. ok."

Everyone remained silent until Chris crossed the Ohio border.

"Ok people. We are getting a room soon. We will rest and leave tomorrow. No complaints. We just need a suite. It will be big enough." said Chris

"And no fighting." added Jill.

"And no sex." said Chris

"Ahh man what!" screamed Ark.

"Chris, then that means you too." said Jill

"Ahh.. dammit. Oh well. I mean it! No complaining out of you Kennedy. You will not violate my little sister while I'm under the same roof."

"Chris. Who says that I wont violate him?" said Claire in a seductive voice.

Chris swerved the car, but gained control. He didn't dare take his eyes off the road again.

"No violating. None whatsoever. Period. I don't care if your married or not."

"But -"

"But nothing. Now we will remain silent until we get to the hotel. Or we will die driving there. Understood?

Everyone nodded. And they drove down the highway. Eventually they would get to a hotel. Hopefully.

------------------------

"Carlos? Carlos. Wake up now Carlos." said the voice of Rebecca.

"W-what? Where am I?" said Carlos

"You're in our car. Were driving down to the safe house."

"W-where's Nicholai?" Carlos winced in pain and felt where the bullet pierced his skin.

"Was Nicholai the one that shot you?"

"Yeah... He was. I'm tired Becca, wake me up when we get there."

"You got it. But we are stopping at a motel soon so I can clean that wound again."

Carlos didn't respond back. He fell back to sleep almost instantly. With all the medicine she gave him, he would be out for a while.

"Where do you want to stay Becky?' asked Barry.

"Anywhere safe. We need to get there soon. I have to treat the wound again." she whispered.

"We will be there in town about ten minutes. Then you can fix him up and get some rest. You look exhausted." said Billy.

"Nicholai... hey wasn't Nicholai the guy that Jill and Carlos ran into in Raccoon?" asked Rebecca.

"Yeah. He was. He escaped leaving Jill and Carlos to die." huffed Barry as he remembered picking Jill and Carlos in the helicopter before Raccoon City had be "sanitized".

"Sounds like he wanted to finish what he couldn't." said Billy

"How. How could you say that Billy?" muttered Rebecca

"I'm sorry. I didn't mean it to sound like that."

"Ok kids. A motel is down the street. I see it. Everyone be quiet." said Barry

They remained silent for the five minutes it took to get there. Billy pulled the car into the parking space. Barry got out and went into the office and got a key. He walked back to the car and they went and parked in front of their room. Barry and Billy got out and grabbed Carlos and helped him into the room. Rebecca grabbed some bags from the trunk and walked in.

They laid Carlos on a bed and Rebecca took off his shirt. Billy walked out to the car and grabbed even more bags. Barry tried to help Rebecca with Carlos.

Rebecca finished quickly and put a new patch over the wound. She put his shirt back on and pulled him up to a better position on the bed. Billy came back into the room with the troublesome bags. He laid them on the ground and walked over to the other bed and sat down.

"Becca, you should take a shower. You have blood all over you." he said

"Oh, I guess your right. Alright I will be back in fifteen minutes. Watch him for awhile. Get me if anything happens." she said.

"Will do. Go on." said Billy with a slight smile.

Rebecca went to her bag and pulled out some clean pajamas. And got a plastic bag out too for her blood soaked clothes. Then she walked into the bathroom and shut the door. Billy and Barry heard the sound of water coming from the shower.

Barry walked over to Carlos and looked down at him.

"It's a shame really. Poor guy... Good thing it' wasn't the heart." said Barry

"Yeah. Rebecca would be devastated if he died. Everyone would be actually." Billy said while he glanced toward Carlos.

"I know you will amigo. No one can live without me. I'm too sexy to die." said Carlos with a weak smile.

"You should get your rest. Becca would get furious if she knew you were up." said Barry.

Carlos sat up and winced with pain. He took his left hand and touched his right shoulder. Then he put his hand down in his lap and looked around in the room.

"I know. But I know she wont kill me. At least I hope not. I don't want to be shot twice in one day."

"That would really suck." said Billy.

"Yeah. Oh you better get down. Sounds like Becky is done in there." said Barry.

"Ah shit. Ok, how did I look before I woke up?" asked Carlos

"Here. I'll move you. Lay down now." said Billy.

Carlos laid back down and Billy positioned him the way he was. Right after he finished Rebecca came out with a towel on her head and her clean pajamas. She walked around to Billy and gave him a slight kiss on the lips. Then Carlos groaned because he saw it. Rebecca rushed to his side because she thought he was in pain.

"Carlos? Carlos? Are you alright? Can you hear me?"

"Yeah, just woke up." he muttered. He opened his eyes and winked towards Billy.

"Ok. How do you feel? Do you want something?"

"No. I'm fine. It's not like I haven't been shot before."

"Oh... Ok. Do you want to go to the bathroom or something? You can't take a shower yet. The wound might open up."

"Nah. I don't gotta go. Hey, I'm thirsty."

"Your dehydrated. I'll get you a cup of water. But if you don't want an IV you will drink a lot of water."

Rebecca walked over to the sink and grabbed a plastic cup that the motel provided. She filled it up with cold water and she came back and handed it to Carlos. He leaned up and drained it in one sip.

"You should take small sips Carlos."

"I know. But I was really thirsty."

"Oh. Let me get you some more."

"Nah. I'm good. I'll go back to sleep."

"No, I won't let you until you have al least three cups right now."

"Fine, fill up two and bring them over."

Rebecca came back with two cups and made sure that he drank them in sips and not in one big gulp. Once he finished Rebecca took the cups back and walked over to Carlos.

"Good night Carlos."

"Night Becca."

Carlos leaned back down and fell asleep. Rebecca walked over to the two other men that occupied the small motel room.

"Well Mr. Coen. Maybe you should take a shower. Then you Barry."

"Yes ma'am!" said Billy. Then he gave her a salute.

"I'll take one later. I will be look out for tonight. You two need your rest." said Barry.

"Thanks Barry! I'm gonna go to sleep. See you two in the morning!" said Rebecca.

Rebecca crawled into the other bed and went to sleep. Billy went and took a shower. Then he came out and joined Rebecca in the same bed. Barry sat up all night watching the door with his Colt Python in his hand with a strong grip on it. He refused to even blink longer than a second because he didn't want any of his friends to get hurt again.
