Chapter 20

Safe House

Sherry got out of the shower and changed into some of Claire's old clothes. She stepped out and then went downstairs to go spend some time with the people she loved the most. Once down she walked into the living room and heard some screaming coming from inside. She quickly walked in and saw Carlos screaming into his cell phone.

"Look crazy lady, I don't know who the hell you are, so stop calling me all the time! I don't know any girls named Alice! I asked Claire and Jill also, and they don't know who the hell you are either! Quit telling me that I kissed you and crap because it didn't happen lady. Stop doing drugs are whatever and leave me the hell alone!"

Carlos hung up his phone and looked over at the others.

"She wont stop calling me!"

"She's one whacked up bitch. I thought that you had a one nighter with her or something. But then she said that she knew Claire and Jill too, that's ridiculous!" said Chris while looking at his wife.

"I know it. Then she said something about Las Vegas. I've never been to Las Vegas in my whole life and the crazy lady kept going on and on. She said that she thought I died in some kinda bomb explosion inside of a semi after I crashed into a crap load of zombies. Now, that's just plain stupid."

"Sounds like some stupid story to me. Kinda like some crappy movie script or some shit." said Leon

"Exactly. But what gets me is how she knew Claire and Jill too. How many Carlos Olivera's do you know that hang out with a Jill Valentine and a Claire Redfield? I know that you two are married now, but she used your maiden names."

"She's crazy." said Claire

"Hey Claire." said Sherry to let them know she's there.

"Hey sweetie come over here and sit with Leon and me."

Sherry walked over and sat between Leon and Claire on the couch. She out her head on Claire's shoulder and sat there in comfort.

"I think it's time to go to bed you guys. We have a long day a ahead of us." said Chris.

He got up, stretched his back and started for the stairs. Jill followed and then the rest of them left as well. Leon and the girls got up from the couch because Ashley and Lily slept there. So the three of them went to the kitchen so they could talk.

"You hungry Sherry?" asked Claire as she looked in the fridge.

"Yeah actually I am."

"Me too babe."

"Well I guess I'll make some sandwiches for you two then."

Claire got some things out of the fridge and started making sandwiches while Sherry and Leon talked with each other.

"So Leon, I heard that you work with the Government now."

"Yup, sure do. Well I mean I did until the whole thing with Wesker came back up."

"Yeah. I heard a little bit about what happened to you in Spain while I was eavesdropping on Wesker. It must have been horrible."

"Yeah, but that's in the past now kiddo."

"Yeah. I guess."

"So how was it living with Wesker for all of those years?"

"God. It was absolutely terrible."

"What the hell did he do to you?" said Leon with an angry voice.

"Actually nothing really. He just made me cooped up in that place for years. He only let me out of that place once a year. And that was my birthday."

"I guess that's a pretty good day to go outside."

"Yeah it was ok. He took me shopping too. But only to the mall for an hour or so."

"He bought you things? You don't say. I thought he didn't really care for people."

"It's weird, it seemed he really did care for me. But only a little. I guess it was because of my Father."

Sherry saw a spark of guilt envelop in Leon's eyes. She then looked over at Claire and saw the same look clouded into her eyes as well. Claire noticed the staring and came over with a plate of sandwiches.

"Here you guys go! I'm just gonna put the stuff back up. Make sure you eat them quickly because when the others smell food they come right for it."

Sherry started eating right away while Leon got up and grabbed a couple of glasses from the cupboard. He walked over to the freezer and filled them with ice. Then he walked over to the sink and topped the glasses with water. He walked back to the table and handed Sherry a glass.

"Jeeze Sherry, you almost ate all the sandwiches. You must be really hungry!" said Leon as he looked at the plate.

"Oh sorry, I didn-"

"You don't have to apologize. You're hungry after all. We have plenty of food if you need more." said Claire

Claire sat down next to Leon and took a sip out of his glass.

"Hey that's mine. Get your own."

"No."

"Fine."

"Hey guys?" asked Sherry as she looked up from the plate

"Yeah?"

"When did you guys get together?"

"We officially started dating four years ago. Then we got married a year into the relationship." said Claire as she looked at her ring

"Let's just say that Chris wasn't the happiest man in the world from our engagement." said Leon as he nudged Claire in the side.

"I knew that you two were perfect for each other!"

"Perfect?" asked Leon

"Yeah! I knew it all along!"

"You knew that we were gonna be together?" asked Claire jokingly

"I could just tell."

"Really. I think that's kinda odd." said Leon.

He lightly hit Claire on the shoulder and then placed his hand on top of hers.

"Yeah, well I'm gonna go to bed. We can catch up tomorrow!" said Sherry in an excited tone.

Sherry got up from her chair and walked out of the kitchen. Claire and Leon didn't talk again until they heard the sound of footsteps going upstairs. When the footsteps went away the couple started whispering to each other.

"Do you think she's knows about her Dad?" asked Leon as he bent towards Claire.

"I think she might have figured it out or something. I have no clue what-so-ever."

"Yeah, maybe. But if she did know about it. Do you think that she'd blame us for his death?""

"I don't really know. I mean he was a monster, but I have no clue about what Sherry would think."

Claire got up from her chair and grabbed the dirty dishes from the table. She walked over to the sink and began to wash them. Leon got up and offered to dry them.

"I don't think that she would blame us. She's a smart girl and knew what had to be done. I mean, we didn't technically kill him either. He blew up when the train exploded and that wasn't our fault." said Leon.

He grabbed the plate from Claire's hand and dried it off with a washcloth. He then placed the plate on the counter and waited for the glasses.

"I know that Leon, but still it was her parents. I know how it feels to lose both of your parents in the same day. And I feel sorry for Sherry because it's something that nobody should encounter."

"You should go lie down Claire, you look a little tired."

Claire drained the sink and handed Leon the two glasses. He set them upside down on the counter and threw the washcloth at Claire's face, which missed and landed on her shoulder.

"You know this means war Mr. Kennedy." said Claire as she grabbed the washcloth off of her.

"War? It was a washcloth."

"So what? You deliberately threw it at me. And now I claim war on you Leon."

"Do I get a peace treaty Mrs. Kennedy?"

He walked over to Claire and wrapped his arms around her waist. Claire pushed him off and lightly slapped him in the face with the washcloth. Leon grabbed the cloth and threw it in the sink and went back to hug Claire again. She accepted and placed her arms over his shoulders. They had their foreheads resting on each others and were just about to kiss when they were interrupted.

"Claire?" asked Chris as he walked into the kitchen.

"Yeah?" said Claire

She turned her head to look at her older brother. Leon let go of her waist and walked over to the glasses and placed them in the cupboard.

"I need to tell you something."

"Go ahead."

"If something goes wrong and Steve is the problem. Leon or I will have to take care of him. I refuse to let you be the one to do it."

"Are you serious? What the hell was that?"

"I'm just saying. If Steve gets out of line, I won't hesitate one second to take him down."

"Chris."

"What?"

"How the hell are you going to do that? For god's sakes Wesker is invulnerable to bullets. Steve even has a stronger virus than Wesker does."

"I'll find a way if it needs to be done."

"Fine whatever, go to bed Christopher."

Chris walked out of the room and Claire just stood there staring at the wall.

"Claire?" asked a worried Leon

He walked over to his wife and placed is hand on her shoulder. She looked over at him and smiled.

"Come on honey, let's go to sleep."

"You wont get any complaints from me."

"I thought not."

The couple grabbed each others hand and started to walk towards the stairs that lead to their bedroom.

Hidden Umbrella Facility

Wesker watched the monitor as the test subject was injected with the Las Plagas/ T- Veronica Hybrid. The Las Plagas was fused with the T- Virus, G- Virus and of course the T- Veronica Virus. He already had the other two Virus's injected into other subjects. But today it was the strongest, most violent virus of the three that he watched be injected.

The test subject was a simple lab rat. Wesker didn't want any major experiments until he knew that the virus's and the Plagas could fuse and be stable within the subject. The rat was inject intravenous with a simple syringe gun with a hypodermic needle at the end. The rat seemed perfectly fine after the injection. Which would happen because the Plagas had to hatch from their egg and start boring itself deeper into the host. Wesker then turned his attention to the screen that had the T-Virus/ Plagas specimen.

The rat had been in a corner for a while and it appeared that the subject had died. But when the researcher placed a non-infected rat into the sealed container the rat moved quickly towards it's prey. It sprouted tentacles from it's back, much like the Colmillos in Spain. It held down the rat with it's tentacles and began to devour it's flesh in a cannibalistic manner.

"Well, well, well. It seems that they did in fact fuse together. Let's just hope that they don't counteract with each other." said Wesker as he watched intently.

The infected rat finished it's meal and went back into it's corner and lied there not moving once again.

"Today is a good day. It seems that my revenge will be closer than I expected."

Wesker laughed maliciously and then turned off the monitor and got up from his chair. He walked to his door and exited his office.

A/N: I was going to put this up yesterday for Christmas, but I got lazy and then tired. It isn't as long as I hoped it would be either. Oh yeah, about the Alice thing... I went to the first showing of RE: Extinction when it came out in our theaters. I went with my brother and we were deeply pissed about the movie. The best part was when Carlos lit the doobie in the semi before he blew up. I also hate that Claire looked like Sarah Connor from Judgment Day. And that so- called Albert Wesker. Alright I was mad about how much the movie sucked ass. You don't have to agree with me or anything, but that movie made me sad and I wanted to punch people in the face from how dumb it was. Oh the Colmillos are the wolves in RE4 that have the tentacles on their back and whip Leon. I don't want to admit this, but when they whip you, it seriously freaks me out big time. Anyways this is getting long so I'll let you go. Once again if you have any complaints/ ideas just message/ review. Thanks to those who review! (Dear lord my sister is watching High School Musical 2. Please lord kill me now. I have an unnatural hatred of musicals.)
