"Alice!" That almost sounded real Alice thought as she heard Claire call out to her Maybe I'm dead she abandoned the thought the minute it crossed her mind as she felt the trigger under her finger and the cold metal of the gun against the roof of her mouth . She heard a couple of loud gunshots and was reminded of how little time she had finally ready she was knocked backwards the gun violently pulled out her grasp and she heard it slide across the floor. She was about to fight back against the body that was sitting on her feebly hitting her on the chest when she wondered why Wesker would employ suck a weak person. It was in that moment when she saw the flash of red hair and felt herself pulled into a bone crushing hug that she realised she hadn't imagined it Claire was there. Sitting on her. Hugging her.
"What are you doing here?" Alice asked in a stern voice though she couldn't help but wrap her arms round the woman's waist. "Didn't the fact I tied you to the door give you the impression I wanted you to stay behind?"
"If you ever do that again I'll kill you but what the hell were you thinking? We got to you just in time? I mean blowing your own brains out Alice really? Is that really how you see yourself dying? Cause I sure as hell don't and will not sit by and watch it happen, I can't lose you," All this was said in a rush but Alice heard every word as the redheads grip around her didn't loosen even a tad.
"I'm going to die Claire it was a lie that I could stop the chip the only way to stop it is for me to die," Alice whispered as she ran a hand over Claire's back.
She was a little shocked when the younger woman suddenly pulled away and began looking round the room. Eyes on the paper that Alice had flung at the door she gathered up the relevant pages and began t read one section jumping out at her.
As a power source the subject itself shall be used to
prevent a case of 'running out of battery'. Electrical
signals in the brain shall provide its power therefore
the chip will only be offline once the subject itself
is 'offline'.(Death is your only option Goodbye Alice)
The last part of the script had been added in messy handwriting and was not part of the original document. Wesker Claire figured but that was just her best guess.
"You were about to blow your brains out because of this?" Claire said sounding shockingly calm. "Alice there are other ways to die."
"Well what's your plan?"
"I don't know yet but if you do it this way that's it no way of bringing you back," Claire answered sadly.
"Claire there is no bringing me back I have to die, completely. My heart has to stop beating," Alice said as she slowly made her way towards Claire.
"I don't want it too," A single tear ran down the side of her face as she took a step back from Alice.
Alice didn't know what to do she was rubbish at this comforting thing but wanted to make Claire feel better so when Carlos came tumbling through the door and slamming it behind him she was happy for the distraction. "Hope I'm not interrupting was getting a little hectic out there. So what's the trick with this chip thing?"
With those words the only reply he got were the sheets Claire was still holding flung in his face.
"Hmm could go horribly wrong or be the perfect solution," he mumbled to himself as he read over the pages.
This statement shocked the brunette she didn't know what Carlos was getting at but the solution was clearly obvious to him though he wasn't sharing this information with Alice or Claire. "Just spit it out would you what's your great way to die?" Alice asked she was now facing him with a serious look on her face waiting for him to comply.
"Okay help me out we need to find some wiring the plan is electrocution." He said as he quickly began his search round the room closely followed by Claire.
"What I don't get?" Alice said not following suit.
"If we shock you and your heart stops we can wait then try and shock it back to life and in the process hopefully the chip should stop working,"
"You know letting me blow my brains out would probably hurt less," Alice commented as she began searching for any loose live wiring. It was a long shot Alice knew but this was the only plan they had and at least if it didn't work she wouldn't die alone.
"Yeah but we wouldn't want to damage that gorgeous face of yours would we?" Claire mumbled to herself Alice guessed she hadn't expected her to hear it but she couldn't help but smile at the comment.
Finding wires wasn't difficult but they needed them to be live and carry a large enough current to be effective. A loud bang on the door caught there attention but Carlos and Claire immediately started searching again. Alice on the other hand grabbed a desk showing her superhuman strength with how easily she moved it and put it against the door starting a barrier to make it more difficult for the undead at the other side of the door to break through. It didn't take her long before the door could no longer be seen through the mass of objects Alice had expertly put there.
"Got it!" Carlos shouted from across the room Alice getting there just before Claire looking at him holding a rather thin very insignificant looking wire.
"Are you sure that's going to be carrying a large enough current?" Claire asked eyeing the wire sceptically.
"Trust me I done an electricians course before I went in to Umbrella," He said as he pulled more wire free from the wall "Okay make sure there's no metal touching your skin and lie down."
Alice removed everything that had metal on it and left in a bundle to her left before lying back on the cold hard floor. Before her head even touched the ground she felt Claire's hand slip into her and looking towards the redhead their eyes met and she couldn't bring herself to look away. "If I don't make it it's all yours." She said her head tilting slightly to the bundle of stuff without taking her eyes from Claire's who didn't even glance where she was indicating.
"You're going to make it," Claire said with a slight smile a reassuring squeeze of the hand.
"Right are we ready?" Carlos asked breaking their eye contact for the first time in several minutes.
Alice pulled her hand away from Claire and shut her eyes with a deep breath "Ready."
