Chapter 9
Bruce and Fongling are driving down the interstate.
"Hey, you want something to eat?" asked the southern man
"Sure. Let's stop somewhere. I don't want fast food."
"Alrighty darlin' you got it."
They pulled over to a small road side restaurant. They both got out of the car and started their way into the building.
They entered the restrant and over twenty pairs of eyes watched them take a seat. An old tired looking waitress came over with a rag that smelt like bleach and wiped the table. She handed them menu's and civil ware.
"You too want something to drink?" asked the woman. You could tell she was a smoker because her voice was scratchy and she breathed heavily.
"Uh. I'll have coffee." said Bruce.
"And I will have some hot tea please." said Fongling
"Ok. I will come back with your drinks and take your order then."
The waitress walked off into the back room.
"Alright. Now what do I want? Do I want a cheese burger? Or something else.."
"I will have a salad."
"Ok. You always have a salad."
"And you always have a cheese burger."
"You got me there."
"At least we know what we want."
The waitress came back with two cups of hot dark liquid. She set the cups down in front of them. Then she pulled out a bill pad and a pen with a weird fuzzy animal on top.
"What will 'yall be havin'?"
"I'll have a cheese burger and fries."
"What do you want on it?"
"Everything"
"Ok. And you ma'am."
"And I will have a salad."
"What type of dressing ma'am?"
"None. I don't need any."
"Alright. One cheese burger and fries with everything on it. And one salad with no dressing. I will go put your order in."
"Thank-you." they both replied.
The waitress walked back to the back room again.
"It's really crowded in here Bruce."
"Yeah. But it will be fine. Nothing bad is gonna happen."
"I'm still worried. All these men keep staring at me like they have never seen a woman before."
"Ahh they are probably all lonely truck drivers and they are just admiring you like I do."
"Ok. Well, I still don't like it at all."
"That's fine. I will take care of them if anything happens."
The waitress came back a few minutes later and gave them their food.
"Do you need more tea or coffee?"
"Not at the moment thank-you." replied Fongling.
"Alright. Well, I'm gonna go on break. If you need anything tell the cook, he will help you."
"Ok Miss." said Bruce
The waitress blushed a bit and then walked off. She went trough the back door outside and began smoking a cigarette. Bruce and Fongling were just about to start eating when a large man came up to them.
"Hello ma'am. We was wonderin' how much it cost."
"What?" questioned Fongling with a look of curiosity.
"How much do you cost for a few fun hours?"
"Hey buddy get off my girlfriend." screamed Bruce while he stood up from the table.
"Oh. She's your woman? Well boys did you hear that she's taken."
Just then two large men grabbed Bruce's arms and held him back. Fongling stood up facing the fat man.
"Do I look like a prostitute?" she asked
"You look like one to me."
"Really?"
"Yeah. Don't she boys? One of then there Asian hookers." he screamed. Some men nodded their heads in agreement.
"Bastard get away from her!" Bruce screamed.
Then there was a loud noise. Like a gun shot. The fat man fell down on the ground with blood coming out of his chest.
"WHAT THE HELL!" screamed some men.
Fongling and Bruce dove down to the ground. They qucikly went behind the counter and hid. They pulled out their concealed weapons. Then some men in what seemed like S.W.A.T. team riot gear came in. They began shooting everyone in sight. Fongling and Bruce got to the kitchen.
"HUNK sir! Where are the subjects?" asked one of the men in the riot gear
"Span out and find them or else." replied the captain of the team. He took out his TMP and scanned though the dead bodies for their targets.
"What the hell is going on?" cried the cook in the kitchen.
Bruce and Fongling hid their guns from him so he wouldn't become even more hostile.
"Get down and shut up. We have to get out of here." whispered Bruce
"Is there a back door sir?" asked Fongling
"Yeah. Lets go."
They went to the back door and got out into that back parking lot. The shots from the guns could still be heard. The waitress popped out from behind the dumpster.
"What the hell is going on? Why are there gun shots?" she whispered.
"We don't know but we have to get out of here. Get in your cars and go." said Bruce
The cook and the waitress nodded. They hurried off to one of the cars back there. They got inside and sped off.
Then Bruce and Fongling pulled out the guns that they had hidden.
"You ready darlin'?"
"Yeah. Hopefully they are all inside."
They peeked behind the corner and saw a giant SUV. It had the umbrella logo on it.
"Should of know that it was them. Let's be careful."
They snuck their way past the SUV. They got beside their car. Bruce pushed the button and the doors unlocked. They ducked down inside so that no one could see then.
"Ok. I will pull out really fast. You stay down as low as possible ok?"
"Ok. Do it fast though. They might have noticed that were not in there."
Bruce nodded. He started up the car fast and floored the gas. They pulled out of the parking lot. HUNK ran out of the restaurant and fired at them. But they were too far away and they continued to speed off.
Bruce kept on going. But he had to find a place where they could get away from them. The only road was the one that they were on. They continued and saw that the Umbrella SVU was still coming for them. Bruce made a quick turn and ended up in a cornfield. He continued to drive trough the corn. The SUV followed them. Bruce made a quick turn and came out. Then he was in the middle of a cross road.
"Ah shit which way quick!"
"There! Go now!"
He turned the car and went down the road. The continued to fly down the street. He made a few more turns and he got back up on the main road. He kept driving and Fongling continued to look back.
"I think we lost them." she said
"Alright. We need to get to a town and go rent a car. We can't have then follow us in this one."
"Agreed. Why were they sent to come after us?"
"Because Wesker knows that we will fight in this war again. He wants fewer enemies in his midst."
"Ok a big town is up next. We will get a new car and leave this one. We are almost to the safe house." said Fongling
"I know. At least I have some fake credit cards and I.D.'s that we can use. I don't want Wesker tracking us with the real credit cards."
They continued to drive and got to the town. They ditched the car at some parking garage. They got a taxi and went to the car rental place. Then they used their fake cards and got the new car. Then they continued driving down the same interstate. They didn't stop once because they didn't want another restaurant incident to happen.
---------------------------------------------
Rebecca woke up and greeted Barry then she went over to Carlos's sleeping body. She checked over the wound and cleaned it up again. Then she went to the bathroom. When she came back Billy was awake and was looking over Carlos. Then he got up and went to the bathroom. He came out and then Carlos woke up.
"Hey Carlos how are you feeling." asked Rebecca
"Like crap Chica." he muttered
"Oh."
"But i'll live. Hey I'm hungry. Is there any food."
"Yeah man, I need some food too." said Billy
"Yeah. Me too, but I need to sleep as well." said Barry
"Ok! Let's pack up and get some food. And then let's get on the road!"
"I need a change of clothes. I have blood all over me."
Rebecca grabbed Carlos's bag and pulled out some clothes for him. He got up with help and went to the bathroom by himself and changed. He came back out and Barry and Billy yet again helped him. Rebecca took the plastic bag and put the blood stained clothes in it. Her clothes from the previous night were in there also. They got the car packed and helped Carlos to the car. Rebecca got into the passengers seat and Barry and Carlos got in the back. Of course Billy was the driver.
They went through the drive thru and got some food. Everyone ate their food very quickly because they didn't eat last night. Barry fell asleep practically right after he finished. They drove down the road with no problems whatsoever.
"Uh. Carlos, wasn't the guy that shot you the guy from Raccoon City?" asked Rebecca
"Yeah. He was a mercenary just like me. He betrayed us so he could get data for Umbrella. All he wanted was the money and the power. He killed many innocent people."
"Sounds like that bastard is working for Wesker." said Billy
"I wouldn't doubt it if he did. That cynical bastard. He almost killed Jill and me. He got away, and then Jill had to fight that Nemesis bitch after he left."
"Nemesis.. that tyrant thing that killed Brad..."
"Yes, and Mikhail sacrificed his life so he could save Jill from it. But lets not talk about that stuff anymore. I don't feel like it."
"Alright. Anyways we will be at the safe house tomorrow. We wont stop tonight. We'll switch drivers. We can't waste anymore time. Hey Rebecca call Chris would ya, tell him we just got in Pennsylvania."
"Got it."
Rebecca pulled out her phone and called Chris. It rang for a while.
"Hello?" said a groggy voice
"Hey Chris it's Rebecca."
"Oh hey Becca. Hows Carlos?"
"He's fine. Just wanted to tell you that we just got to Pennsylvania."
"Really? We're still in Ohio...W-what time is it?"
"It's 7:00 a.m."
"7:00 man, why did you wake me up, we're leaving at 10:00"
"Like I knew that. You guys sleep all the time."
"We sleep like regular people. We don't wake up before 7:00 a.m."
"How is that normal? Anyways we will be there tomorrow. We're not going to stop tonight. We have plenty of drivers."
"Same here. Well I gotta go Becca and sleep like the normal people. See ya."
"Bye."
She hung up her phone and put it back in her pocket. Then she laid her head back on the head rest.
"So they are still asleep?" asked Billy
"Yeah. But they do have kids with them. And plus they are lazy."
"Man, I wish you guys woke me up at 10:00 a.m. That would be like heaven." said Carlos
"That's because you have a gun shot wound. And the medicine is making you tired. Why don't you go to sleep?"
"I should. But you guy have to keep quiet, I'm a light sleeper."
"Ok go to sleep Carlos."
Carlos turned his head and went to sleep.
"Everyone is a light sleeper in this car. Well except for Barry right now, but I don't think he has slept in a few days. He would wake up in an instant if anything happened. Ever since the incidents everyone has become a light sleeper. I wake up when I hear the neighbors get home at night." thought Rebecca
"Hey Becca. Let's talk about something, I'm bored." said Billy
"What should we talk about?"
"I have no clue, bring up a topic."
"How about biochemistry? Or physics?"
"... How about movies?"
"Ok! What movies?"
"I don't know, pick one that you think I have actually watched."
"Uhh... 28 weeks later?"
"I love that helicopter part. It was awesome, but I wonder if you could really do that?"
"I have no clue. But I did feel bad for the solider guy that got burned to death. He was pretty cool."
"Yeah. How about another movie?"
"Uhh... I can't think of any right now."
"How could you not? There's millions of movies out there."
"I know that, I can't think of a movie you have watched that has sound or voices to it Grandpa."
"Hey, I'm only eight years older..."
"You're 32 years old! You're older than Chris!"
"Hey. Only by a year and I don't hear you complaining."
"I'm not complaining. I'm stating your age. And that you don't watch good movies."
"I watch good movies."
"Hey shut up! I'm trying to sleep!" roared Barry
"Yeah man, me too. Both of you don't watch good movies anyways. So shut up!" said Carlos
The two fell silent and didn't say another word. They continued driving on to the safe house.
