'HAYA!' Tomoe yelled as she jumped and kicked one of the infected. He fell back, but promptly got up.

The girl took her breath.

"Hanzo… Where are you… I can't hold on much longer" she thought as she prepared for another attack.

Out of the five infected that had attacked her, only three were still standing. But due to their enhanced durability, they were a hard target to take down, and Tomoe was getting tired.

And she was only a step away from being torn apart by the beasts.

'Ha… HAYA!' she did another jump kick, but missed.

Instead, she hit the wall and fell on the ground.

In just a matter of seconds, the infected were already ganging up on her.

Tomoe trembled.

She felt her death is near.

"It is against the path of honor to beg for your life if you were bested in combat" she reminded herself as she closed her eyes, preparing to be devoured.

And that's when she heard the infected's scream.

She opened her eyes.

Someone was holding him by the neck and pulling him away from Tomoe.

With one swift move, the unknown person broke the infected's neck and threw the body away.

Tomoe gasped.

'Mr. Wesker…'

Wesker kicked another infected and sent him flying towards a wall, knocking him out.

The last of the three got a hold of the man and tried to bite him, but he skillfully evaded it and kicked his attacker twice in the groin with his knee, then threw him on the ground.

Wesker looked at all the infected lying, and after he made sure they'd stay down offered his hand to Tomoe, who gently accepted it.

'Are you alright, Dr. Tachibana?'

'Yeah, I'm fine… Mr. Wesker, how did you do that? You weren't supposed to even be able to move with this type of wound!'

'Let's just say I'm a tough dog'

'What are you doing out of your bed?'

'I'm looking for my briefcase'

'Oh… Well, if it was brought in, then it's most likely at the receptionist. We can go there together if you want. Watch each other's backs' the girl smiled.

Wesker thought for a few seconds, then started walking.

'I can watch my own back'

'It is against the path of honor to refuse a friend's kindness!'

The man stopped, then slowly turned his head around.

'Dr. Tachibana… I strayed from the path of honor a long time ago…' was the only thing he said before leaving.
