CHAPTER 7

"Ok so do we go round or through?" Barry asked as they neared the wall.

"Well judging by what the map says the wall cuts where the Spencer estate used to be in half so it could be in the city or outside." Chris answered.

"Well according to this letter the bunkers where built not two hundred yards from the main base so that narrows it down quite a bit." Jill said.

"Yeah but Jill we still have to get in." Rebecca said. They all looked at the wall.

"Yeah I mean that wall has to be at least 15 feet tall." Leon added.

"Listen we will start on the other side of the wall later; what we do first is go around till we reach the Spencer estate and look from there." Chris said. They all got back in the car and drove around to the other side it took them a while as the wall went for what seemed like miles. When they eventually reached their destination they got out.

"Look Chris." Jill said pointing to the ground. Chris looked to the ground.

"Those are fresh tyre tracks." Rebecca exclaimed.

"Well isn't that handy we can follow these and see where they lead." Leon said. They only went about two hundred yards before the tracks stopped.

"I can't see a base anywhere." Jill remarked.

"What is that over there." Rebecca asked pointing in the direction of a large mound.

They all went towards it. Chris saw a red button in amongst the moss and pushed it. A large door opened.

"Oh my god we found it this could be where Claire is." Chris said. Barry went first followed by Chris, Jill, Leon and Rebecca. It wasn't really that big and it was easy to find where Claire had been kept. Leon and Rebecca went and investigated the rest of the base while Barry, Chris and Jill searched the room.

"Claire was here look." Jill said handing Chris Claire's favourite watch. The face had been smashed but the watch still worked.

"God damn it we came so close he must have known we where coming." Chris said.

"Maybe not." Jill said. "I mean if he had known we were coming where is the sarcastic letter telling us how close we where its not like Wesker to just leave."

"Maybe something happened and he had to leave in a hurry." Barry suggested.

Leon and Rebecca entered the room.

"We didn't find anything." Leon said.

"Yeah we searched everywhere." Rebecca added. Chris sat down on the bed and gazed at Claire's watch.

"Well if he did leave in a hurry maybe he will come back." He said.

"Why would he do that?" Jill asked.

"I don't know but he might so we might as well stick around see if he does Rebecca go move the car somewhere he wont see it." Chris said. Rebecca nodded and left.

"This is the closest we have been to finding her Jill I wont just give up." Chris said. Jill sat down next to him and put her arm around his broad shoulder.

"I know you wont and we will stay here as long as possible."

"I think I will have a look at the computer." Leon said noticing that it was there.

He typed away and found a file called Prisoner Reviews Accommodation" he clicked it and read it. He laughed.

"Hey Chris Claire was here look she signed this review." Leon said.

Chris walked across to the table and had a look. He smiled when he read it.

"Good old Claire even in a terrible situation she has a laugh." Leon continued to check the computer when the sound of the cars horn floated down the halls. They all got up and headed towards it. When they got they saw Rebecca standing still beside it.

"Rebecca what's wrong?" Jill asked. But before she could answer Wesker appeared at her side holding a gun to her head.

"Well well so you found my base." He said.

"Let her go Wesker." Jill pleaded.

"Sorry Jill can't do that." He answered.

"Where's my sister?" Chris asked.

"She is fine Chris absolutely fine she had a little accident but she is being taken care of." He answered. They all pulled their guns on him.

"Any of you try to shot me Rebecca will die." He said coldly. He pushed the gun harder against her temple.

"Don't hurt her." Jill pleaded again. She couldn't bear to see another one of her friends die.

"Oh Jill I don't intend to." He said. "I intend on killing her." He said. He pulled the trigger. Rebecca slumped to the ground they all opened fire. They knew it would make no difference but they did any way. The forest came alive with the sound of gunfire. The cloud of smoke settled and they all noticed that Wesker was gone. Jill ran to Rebecca's side. She had a shocked look on her face. Jill closed Rebecca's eyes and began to cry.

"This is all my fault if only I hadn't sent her out here alone." Chris said.

"Don't blame yourself Chris it wasn't your fault." Leon said.

"What do we do with the body?" Barry asked.

"Leon go see if you can find a couple of shovels we will bury her on top of the Spencer estate she can be with her team mates now." Jill said. Leon and Barry went off to search for shovels. Jill noticed something in Rebecca's pocket. She put her hand in and pulled it out. It was her RPD STARS badge. It seemed that she couldn't let go even after everything that had happened. Leon and Barry returned sometime later; they had found shovels. They began to dig. It took them a while but they managed it. Rebecca's body was lowered into the ground. Jill reached in and placed her STARS badge onto her chest.

"Rebecca Chamber was a fine member of the team the last remaining member of STARS Bravo team. She will now be with her friends and family good bye honey you will be missed." Jill said she began to cry. After a few seconds the rest of them where crying too. Leon and Barry began filling in the hole. By the time they where done it as getting dark. They headed back to the house. When they got in they all sat down in the living room.

"I hope Wesker realises that I wont stop till I have killed him." Chris said angrilly.

"We are right behind you buddy." Barry said.

"He's right we will hunt him down and make him pay" Leon added. Jill never said a word. Her determination had all ready been given a boost for now she wasn't opening her mouth for fear of sobbing again.
