Chris had gone out for a walk and had left Jill home alone, so she phoned Rebecca who said she would be right over. Rebecca came over and let herself in.
"Hey Jill what's up?" she asked sitting down on the couch.
"Its Chris I am worried about him." Jill replied.
"He is just worried that's all his sister has been kidnapped." Rebecca said.
"Yeah I know but he hardly eats or sleeps." Jill added.
A serious look crossed her face.
"Rebecca I don't think I can take much more of this." She said quietly.
Rebecca sat stunned for a moment.
"Am I hearing what I think I am hearing you want to leave Chris at a time like this plus you have been married what like five minutes." She said.
"Rebecca I love him very much its just this whole thing is putting a strain on our marriage." Jill sighed and leaned back in her chair.
"Jill I know its hard but you have to make this work or Wesker wins not only will he have Chris's sister he will have destroyed a marriage as well." Rebecca said. Jill sighed again she knew that she was right.
"Chris and I will just have to have a little chat." She said. So when Chris arrived Rebecca left.
"Where's she going."? He asked.
"Chris we need to talk." Jill said. Chris looked at her and said,
"What is it Jill is something wrong?"
"Yes Chris something is wrong our marriage isn't working." She answered.
"Jill I know things haven't been very rosy recently but I am sure you have noticed that Claire has been kidnapped." He shot back.
"Yeah Chris I have noticed I am not trying to sound selfish but can we please take a break for a couple of days we have tried and tried and still nothing." Jill said. She could see Chris getting angry.
"Yeah it does sound selfish and any way what makes you think that she has another couple of days what if Wesker kills her." He shouted.
"GOD DAMN CHRIS if he was going to kill her he would have and mailed the body back this is exactly what he wants; you to have a complete breakdown and push away everyone who cares about you to make you suffer don't you see that." Jill shouted back.
"YOU DON'T CARE ABOUT HER AT ALL DO YOU" he shouted back.
"YES I DO CHRIS SHE IS MY SISTER AND I LOVE HER VERY MUCH BUT CANT YOU SEE OUR MARRIAGE SLOWLY FALLING DOWN THE TOILET." Jill could feel the tears welling up in her eyes. Chris could see this and went to hug her; she pushed him away.
"Chris please listen to me I want to get her back just as much as you do but I need a break we have been at this for ages." She said quietly. Chris knew she was right. His world was crumbling around him and he knew who's fault it was.
"Jill I am so sorry I didn't mean to shout at you like that." He said. Jill moved in and hugged him.
"I love you so much Chris." She said through the sobs. Chris held her tight.
"I love you to honey this is all Wesker's fault and I am taking it out on you." He said. Jill continued to cry.
"We can go away for a couple of days I will see if Rebecca and Leon can keep searching while we are gone." He said. Jill brushed the tears away with her hand.
"That's a great idea." She said. So the next day they called Leon and Rebecca round and asked them if they would continue the search. They said that they would, so Chris and Jill packed a bag and left for a couple of days.
"It's a good thing they are spending some quality time together things don't look so good in the Chris camp." Leon said.
"Yeah I think Jill was seriously considering leaving its not that she doesn't care she is just really worried about Chris" Rebecca said. They had just begun to check through some old files they had taken from an umbrella base to see if they could find locations of any other bases near them when the phone rang.
"Hello" Rebecca answered
"Well hello Miss Chambers it's nice to hear your voice again." The man said on the other end.
"WESKER where's Claire?" she asked. On hearing that name Leon got and came to the phone.
"Oh I can't tell you that but what I can tell you is that Miss Redfield is fine here listen." There was silence on the phone then.
"Hi guys listen I am fine we have already spoke to Chris he says he's on his way back." She went silent for a moment then she began to shout.
"Leon listen he has been hitting me and stuff please find me we are in a base somewhere in woods that……." The phone went dead. 20 minutes later Chris and Jill arrived back.
"We got a call from Wesker" Jill said.
"Yeah Claire said she was fine." Chris added.
"That's not what we heard he has been hurting her she says they are in a base in the woods that's all she got out before the line went dead. Then we have to find out what Bases umbrella has that are surrounded in woods that are near here." Chris said a hopeful tone creeping into his voice.
"There cant be that many bases around here." Jill said hopefully. They set about looking through every file they had ever taken from an umbrella lab and looked through it to see if there was a list of all the bases locations; sadly there wasn't.
"Listen it has to be Close to where we are doesn't it I mean he can't have went to far." Jill said.
"Well the only heavily wooded are around here is the Arklay forest." Rebecca said
"Surely Umbrella wouldn't have two bases so close to one another." Leon said.
"We will have to look any ways it might be that is further out I mean The forest covers a large area maybe its not a base just a small bunker some where." Chris suggested.
"Oh great that's even better; that will be even harder to find.' Leon said
"No it wont the bunkers wont be that far away from the actual base there might be one near where the Spencer estate was." Jill said.
"That's true so I take it that means we are going for a little hike?" Rebecca asked.
"Yes it seems that way." Chris said.
