Jill was kneeling on the side of the bed in her cell, not really sure what to think. She was growing tired of thinking. Ever since frank came by Todd hadn't even bothered opening the window of the cell back up to talk to her again. She didn't want to guess what was going on out there. Jill's only hope now was Chris, since convincing Todd to realize what he had been doing all along was wrong. She still cared for him as a friend a great deal. With their earlier conversation, Jill could still see the good in Todd. She was forced out of her private moment of thoughts with the cell door opening. Jill stood in the middle of the cell, ready for what fate awaited her,
She saw Todd slowly enter the doorway of the cell. He stopped just past door way, barely inside the cell. "You're Right" he just said, looking at the ground. Jill tried to walk over to him, but he held his hand out to stop her. "When I got kicked out of the military, this time for what seemed like good. I…..I was just so mad Jill, you know how much the military meant to me"
"I know Todd..." Jill tried to talk, but Todd held up his hand once again.
"Let me finish, pleas" Todd said, and Jill just nodded with a smile, as his eyes finally meet hers. "So when that Umbrella recruiter came to me, I….I was so mad that I would just do anything, to prove to everyone in the service what they had just wasted away. The money helped with the temptation yes, but you're right. The money never meant a thing to me, I just wanted to proof that even with my medical problems I could still be the best of the best."
Todd walked a few steps towards Jill, still staying a good distance away from her though. "But when I killed someone I thought might be my first friend in a while. That same day I saw you, saw your face in that alley, I wasn't sure why I was doing what I was doing. So I left the facility, I just needed to see you, to be sure you were okay from what frank did to you. I followed you when you left the hospital, to his house" Todd paused, trying to calm his emotions. "And when I saw you with….with him, I tried to convince myself that he was just taking advantage of you. That's why I attacked, and threatened him the next day. But I knew you were smarter than that Jill, so I figured I could bury myself within this job. And bury my past, but I guess I can't….can I?"
Jill shook her head to Todd. "No….we can't, but you're better than this, like I said. Please, just accept that I'm with someone who cares about me, and will help you move past all of this" Jill pleaded, as she walked towards Todd, holding his hand.
Todd took a deep breath, before he nodded in agreement. Then they heard what sounded like a base alarm go off "Okay, let's find your boy and get out of here"
Jill was so happy for him, her friend was back, and that's what was important. But before they could do anything Todd was knocked on the back, throwing him on the ground next to her. Jill looked up to see Chris; he had his weapon raised towards Todd.
"Chris wait stop!" Jill shouted, Chris froze as he looked towards Jill, thinking she was crazy. "Todd's with us now, He's going to help us get out of here"
"It's okay Jill" Todd coughed out, crawling back up from the floor. "I deserved that" But before Todd could do anything else; Chris holstered his Weapon, before taking a swing at him.
"Chris! stop this right now" Jill ordered in her demanding tone.
"Its fine valentine, I deserve even more than that I know. But we need to get out of here, after that I promise Chris, you can take as many swings at me as you want" Todd joked, although he figured Chris would take him up on his offer, Jill would probably make him come to his senses.
Chris now looked towards Jill, as he quickly made his way towards her. The both embraced for a quick, yet passionate kiss. They knew they were running out of time. So Chris now looked back towards time. "Fine, lead the way"
As Todd ran out the cell door, Jill tugged Chris back for a second. "What about the captain and Barry, we haven't heard from them"
Chris sighed, not really sure how to explain this, but he did the best he could. "Wesker was with frank the whole time, but he went insane. I think Barry was too, but they were threatening him about something. Their probably both dead now, I'm not sure. I promise I'll explain later, but we have little time Jill"
Todd ran back towards the cell door. "Come on lets go, we don't have much time" He shouted, as the Duo followed him down the corridors.
The three ran with their life's depending on it, they were getting closer one of the facilities compound exits; Todd said so as they ran. But before they could go up the set of stairs that led to their freedom, someone was blocking their way. Both Chris and Jill noticed his spec ops gear, but neither of them had seen him before, only Todd knew who it was.
"Jaylen? What are you doing this place is going to blow" Todd yelled towards the armed man blocking their way.
"Oh I've been waiting all night for this…..Todd" Jaylen replied with a smirk revealed on his face.
"What are you talking about, we need to get out of here now" Chris shouted towards the man.
"The two of you can go whenever you please, this murder not so much" Jaylen explained. He wasn't pointing his rifle at the three, but Todd knew he was a professional at the very least.
"Murderer, what are you talking about?" Todd asked, confused about the whole ordeal.
"You would forget would you, you killed my twin brother Jaden"
"I don't know what your talk….." Todd paused, making the connections. Todd thought Jaylen looked somewhat familiar, and now he knew why.
"That's right, you killed Agent J like the filth you are. I could of killed you the same way on many occasions tonight, But I'm going to do for you what you didn't for my brother. I'm going to give you a fair fight Todd" Jaylen now threw his rifle on the ground, as he pulled one of his many knives out of his vest.
Todd could shoot him right here and now, but he wouldn't. If this was his answer for the sin he did, he damn well deserved it. Todd now looked towards Chris. "Listen Chris, there's a much larger facility like this under Raccoon city, you both have to find away to take them down"
"Todd, what are you talking about" Jill asked in a pleaded voice. Not wanting to even think about what Todd considered doing.
Todd now looked towards Jill. "I'm sorry about everything, I know you know that, but if this is my fate, I'll gladly face the firing line"
"Todd no…" Jill sobbed, trying to come towards Todd, but Chris pulled her back, trying to make their way towards the exit behind Jaylen.
"Look after her Redfield!" Todd shouted towards the two, as they went through the surface access. He now looked towards Jaylen, throwing his rifle aside. Todd took his own knife out of his vest.
"I'm going to take pleasure in gutting you" Jaylen hissed, circling around Todd.
Todd figured Jaylen would be a professional at hand to hand. But what he failed to realize was that Todd mastered it in delta training, far surpassing all the instructors on base. Todd wasn't going to go down so easy. "You'll have to beat me first" Todd smirked, as Jaylen rushed towards Todd, with his combat Knife ready to make the kill.
Todd dodged his first attack, pushing Jaylen back with his free hand. This time Todd made his on thrust, but jaylen leaned his head back, as Todd's knife just barely missed his opponents head. Jaylen Took that moment to stab Todd in the knee, catching him off guard.
Todd groaned in pain, as he limpet his way back, Taking the opportunity Jaylen Rushed Todd, throwing him on the ground, as he began pushing his Knife towards Todd's Chest, now sitting on top of him. But Todd's strength held together, as he tried to force the knife back. For a second Todd was distracted, with the sound of an explosion coming from the surface. With Todd letting his guard down for that second, Jaylen was able to thrust his knife downwards, straight threw his chest. Todd screamed in pain, as Jaylen Laughed in satisfaction.
"Fuck this" Todd cursed, spitting a chunk of his own blood in Jaylen's face, with Jaylen blind from the blood in his eyes, Todd reached for his sidearm in his holster, Shoving the tip of the gun in Jaylen, as he emptied the clip.
With the breathless body of Jaylen on top of him, Todd threw him aside, taking a deep breath, as he pulled the knife out of his chest. He groaned again in pain this time much worse from earlier, before he tossed the knife on the ground beside him. Todd could hear the sounds of the alarm getting louder and louder, Todd knew he was now out of time.
Surface
"Chris we can't leave him" Jill pleaded, trying to push her way back in, but Chris wouldn't budge.
"Jill, look at me" Chris said, holding her shoulders to keep her steady. "He would want you to live, to get out of here and make the right choice, don't waste that."
Jill pulled herself together, as she hugged Chris. "I….I just got him back as a friend Chris, and for what"
Chris smiled, as he shook her gently. "You got him back so he could save us, that's what it was for" Chris looked around him. They were at some small compound, with the mansion far off in the distance. Looking towards the skies he could see Brads chopper coming towards them.
Letting go of Jill, Chris waved towards the chopper. The base was still going to blow any minute, so he knew they were running out of time. The chopper now hovered over them, slowly making its way down to the couple. Chris was making his way towards the chopper, when Jill suddenly screamed towards him.
"Chris look out!"
Chris turned around the second he heard the scream, to see that same looking creature from the lab not too long ago swinging at Chris. With the force of the creatures blow, Chris was thrown across the small courtyard in the compound.
"Chris" Jill shrieked, she tried to reach her holster, only to find it empty. She never got her side arm back from the time she was captive, as the creature was about to thrust at Chris, someone Jumped out of the chopper, shooting a loud shotgun. Jill saw the man was one of the sepc ops guys.
"Eat lead you piece of trash" the man taunted. Chris grabbed his pistol, joining the fight.
"Hay!" Jill heard a voice from the chopper. She looked up to see another spec ops looking person, this time a woman. "Take this" She yelled, tossing a case out of the chopper.
Jill rushed towards the case, as the man with the Shotgun, and Chris continued dodging and shooting at the creature. Quickly Jill opened the case up, revealing something she hasn't seen since her time in delta. An Rpg launcher, she smiled, thankful for the training she had with the weapon.
Hearing the gunfire continue, she grabbed the launcher. Keeping the weapon steady as Jill tried to aim at the creature. Seeing what Jill was doing, Chris shouted towards the other man on the ground, as they both ran towards her, getting out of the way. With one long breath Jill began to squeeze the trigger.
"This is for the rest of Bravo" She cursed, launching the weapon.
The creature Exploded into huge chunks on impact. With that Jill threw the launcher aside, breathing steadily. 'It's over' She thought to herself. Before she could do anything else, Chris jerked her upwards. As there all made a dash for the chopper now. Without even thinking Chris tossed Jill inside, as the other two joined her.
"Get us out of her" Chris shouted to Brad, he gave a thumbs up in reply, as he began to lift the chopper back off again.
'Wait" Jill yelled, trying to get back out, but Chris expected this, and held her down. "We can't leave him, Todd could still alive" Jill tried to push through Chris, but He wouldn't budge. The chopper was already a good distance away from the facility before it exploded. Jill froze, as she sobbed into Chris's shoulder.
The spec ops shoulder that saved Chris knelt next to Jill as well. "I didn't get to know toddy well, but if you did, than you know he would probably be glad that you were safe" He tried to assure, placing a hand on Jill's shoulder, but she just pushed him away.
"Brian, leave them be" the other spec ops soldier said, Jill noticed she was badly injured, with what looked like bandages going around her torso. The man Jill now knew as Brian, went back to the other side of the chopper, sitting next to the woman, as she tilted her head on his shoulder.
Jill now stopped crying, as she looked towards Chris. "I know, but it doesn't make it easier"
"It's never easy Jill, never. But I'm here for you" Chris promised, as Jill smiled with a nod.
"Not so bad for a Raccoon rookie huh" Jill teased, trying to use humor to calm herself down.
"No, not a Rookie at all" Chris laughed in reply, just as they both embraced for a long and passionate moment.
With the two now relaxing on their side of the chopper the spec ops woman spook to the, "Names Sarah, I'm really sorry about your friends, Just know that Brian and I plan to use the data we have on Umbrella to bring them down, the CIA is paying us big to bring this evidence to them" Sarah promised towards the couple.
"Thanks" Chris replied "I'll make sure you get the best care when we get back to the city"
Jill leaned her head on Chris's shoulder, mocking what Sarah was doing with Brian. She didn't know what awaited them. She just knew this nightmare had only just begun, but with Chris at her side they would beat the odds.
Well that's the end of the mansion, but no its not the end of our story folks. Hell at first I was planing on skipping the mansion when I started writing this, well I'm glad I didn't, even If it did turn out to be completely different.
