Shauna and Tori walk through the aisles of best and less in Eagle Hills major shopping hall, months had passed since The Raccoon City Incident and finding out she was pregnant. The months had been horrible, in and out of therapy since December. She never told the story of Raccoon City but instead told the story of how the father of her child risked his life to save people and he perished in gunfire. She wasn't given any medication due to the life growing inside her but she had Tori living with her and at her beck and calling.
Shauna stopped at a blue baby jumpsuit and picked it up, the thought of having this child without Josh hurt her deeply but knew there wasn't much she could do about it, he was lost and killed along with everything else in Raccoon City.
"Are you okay?" Tori asks as she watches Shauna get lost in her thoughts
"Yes! oh god yes!"
"Shauna?" Tori questions
Shauna places the jumpsuit back and puts her hand on her stomach which has formed a baby bump under her orange tank top.
"Tori, its the same as always, i should be doing this with Josh not with you, no offence"
"I know, i have no idea what to do!" Tori responds
"You have done enough and i'm grateful! Nothing will feel the emptiness i feel though...Come on lets grab some lunch!"
Tori walks with Shauna down to the food court and order some food for lunch, Tori knows Shauna is hurt inside but knows she can't do anything about it. The thought of a sister day out crossed her mind but Kira was off with the new Eagle Hills S.T.A.R.S team in a mission to an Umbrella facility in Eagle Hills. The fact Umbrella was still running made Tori's blood boil! If the S.T.A.R.S team could successfully expose Umbrella like Kira hoped, Umbrella should be finished. The cover up by Umbrella after Raccoon City shocked the Eagle Hills completely, Shauna especially, she cried for hours no retribution would be coming after what they did to Josh and the rest of their group who sacrificed their lives so they could get out.
The waitress comes over with to glasses full of water and to boxes of hot chips, she places them on the table and looks over at Shauna and notices the baby bump.
"i feel bad for asking this but how far along are you?" The waitress asks
Shauna smiles to tell her its fine to ask and responds to her
"The date is the 30th of January so about 4 months"
"Well congratulations! Enjoy the food" The waitress replies
She goes to walk way but Tori stops her.
"Can i get some Sauce...Laura?" She asks as she reads her name tag.
Laura nods back and hurries off. Tori looks over to see Shauna once again looking at her baby bump, the feelings of sympathy wash over her, but she knows Shauna would kill her for feeling like that. Shauna always thought she was strong and could pull it off when she wanted to but deep down she was slowly getting eaten away by the loss of someone she loved someone and now a baby to remind her everyday that his gone.
Laura returns quickly with the sauce and hurries off again to take someones order at the next table.
"She was nice" trying to start conversation
"she seems really shy, no idea why she is a waitress" Shauna replies
Tori doesn't reply, instead starts eating her chips and looking around the complex, her thoughts now focused on the events in Raccoon City, it hadn't been easy for her to adjust either. Her older sister having baby, meaning she will be an aunty and her younger sister infiltrating an Umbrella facility with her life on the line.
Shauna finishes the last of her chips and water, she glances at the time.
"2pm, we better get home"
Tori looks up shoving the rest of her chips on her mouth so she doesn't waste any and nods. Shauna begins to stand up before her eyes wonder to man walking through the complex, his face is hidden and his dressed in all black. He reminded her of Vector of Umbrellas USS Delta Team in Raccoon City. The man glanced over to her, his stare stayed on her for a couple of seconds before he looked behind him and continued hurried off. The man sent shivers up her spine, her thoughts running wild with who he could be, a homeless man? A wanderer? A Umbrella operative? Her eyes wonder onto another man who is dressed up in a military uniform, his short grey hair matched the rest of his body and thats when she sees the logo. He turns his back as he looks around the complex revealing the Umbrella logo on his back, when he turns his face is clear.
"Tori!" Shauna whispers
Tori looks at Shauna and follows her gaze to the Umbrella officer, who is now staring at the both of them, he gives them a half smile. A smile of evil and Shauna knew who he was, the man who was after Brendan at the St Michaels Clock Tower and the man who held Brendan hostage just before the bloodbath and gunfire at the train yard in Raccoon City. He breaks his stare and follows in the direction of the earlier man.
"What the hell is he doing here!?" Tori says freaked out
"i have no idea! i have a feeling we aren't safe Tori"
Shauna grabs Tori by the arm and they walk off not knowing they were being watched by another Umbrella Agent.
