Reviews

Experimental Agent 1123: Well; all I'll say is that it's not a new character, I actually thought it would be obvious. Anyway; yeah, Francis has his followers; also, don't forget what Lydia said before they left. Unless I get overtime this week, I will be doing two chapters a day.
Diao Lover: Thanks, glad you liked it; well, like I said above; all I'll say is that it's not a new character, I actually thought it would be obvious.

Now onto the story.

Chapter 6: Further Delusions

Lydia and Cashmere continued to pursue Francis as he headed towards what appeared to be the centre of town.

"Where is this creep going anyway?" Cashmere muttered. "We're hoping he's gonna lead us to a way out, but he doesn't seem to be in any rush; who knows when Umbrella will wipe this place out."

Lydia nodded. "You're right; I'm starting to get worried. If he doesn't try to escape soon; we'll need to force him to tell us a way out and just escape on our own."

Cashmere nodded and they sped up a little; determined to close the gap between them and Francis a little. As they did however they heard a distinct hissing noise and spun around; Albinoids were chasing them, a group of infant versions and an adult group of them too.

"I thought we left those things trapped in the warehouse?" Lydia gasped.

Cashmere sighed. "Either they broke free or this is a different group, doesn't matter; fight or flight?"

Lydia quickly considered. "We can't lose Francis, besides, there's too many of them. Flight, shoot only those that end up coming too close."

Cashmere nodded they turned and ran, still in pursuit of Francis; they turned the street, hoping they hadn't lost him. They were in luck; they saw him as he walked down the next street, so they could still follow him. But they had to act fast, the Albinoids were in pursuit.

Luckily Francis turned off into a side street; they quickly hurried in pursuit, narrowly avoiding being attacked by the Albinoids. They saw Francis just as he disappeared around another corner; they continued to pursue him until he entered a building that, they quickly verified the other exit was completely blocked off. They could now make a stand and ensure he couldn't escape. As they turned to face the Albinoids however they saw that infected spiders, code-named Black Widow's, had joined them.

"Great, more B.O.W.s, this just keeps getting better and better." Lydia snarled. "Come on, we'll wipe them out, then I don't care what he says. We're forcing him to tell us how to get out of here."

Cashmere smirked. "I thought I was the one who got easily frustrated." She replied.

Lydia rolled her eyes at Cashmere's riposte about Lydia's earlier remark about Cashmere cracking a joke.

The B.O.W.s attacked; forcing the two women to open fire with their handguns. They had to dodge a few times but luckily stayed near the building where Francis was in. the Black Widows and Infant Albinoids fell easily, but the adults proved themselves to be more durable. Finally however they managed to kill the last of the attacking Albinoids. The Black Widows were also all dead. They quickly reloaded and nodded; now they planned to confront Francis.

"That creep's still in there." Cashmere remarked. "He knows we're out here now, but still…We outgun him."

Lydia nodded in agreement. "Let's go, time to deal with him."

They both entered the building; guns at the ready.

They looked around carefully; they were what appeared to a simple café but surprisingly, there was no sign of Francis. Worried the women looked at each other before moving cautiously through the café. Knowing their best hope was to split up Lydia headed for the kitchen while Cashmere checked the upper floor. Lydia looked around, curious at Francis' sudden disappearance; something felt wrong. Suddenly she was grabbed from behind; her arms pinned while a hand covered her mouth, stopping her from screaming. She fought back; realizing it was Francis; armed with his weapon, a Desert Eagle. Despite her struggles however Francis soon gained the upper hand and slammed the butt of his gun into the back of her head, knocking her out. Meanwhile Cashmere continued her search upstairs; unaware of what had just happened. She concluded her search and sighed, heading back downstairs. She thought she heard something; so she moved cautiously towards the kitchen. She froze when she saw Lydia, handcuffed to one of the table legs, unconscious. Worse still; the gas cookers had all been left on, filling the room. She could see Francis making his escape out of the window.

"Nice try asshole!" She growled as she ran and caught him, pulling him back into the room.

She quickly knocked him down, wrestled the key off him and kept him pinned. While she did so she quickly freed Lydia and instead cuffed Francis before hurrying to turn all the gas off. Leaving the window open to allow the gas out she kept Francis under guard with her gun while waiting for Lydia to wake up.

Finally she did so with a groan.

"Ugh, man, my head." She mumbled.

"Welcome back." Cashmere replied sarcastically. "Well; the tables have turned; get up and get your equipment; we've caught him."

Lydia was up quickly and smirked when she saw Francis, trapped. She quickly re-equipped herself and joined Cashmere.

"Okay Francis…" She remarked. "Looks like it's time. Where is the nearest escape route?"

Francis glared at her. "Escape route, what escape route?"

Cashmere growled and kicked him. "Don't play dumb with us; how were you planning to escape Umbrella destroying this place."

Francis growled at them and spat. "Idiots; you sluts don't know anything. I have no intention of leaving here, the company won't be destroying this place, I will be making it my utopia…Just as soon as the T-Veronica Virus revives my sister; then not even Umbrella will be able to stop us…Let alone two whores like you two."

Both women glared but before they could utter any reply, Francis stood up, his hands free, picking up his Desert Eagle.

"First rule bitches; check I don't have the spare key." He remarked. "Now, I think my pets will have some real fun with you."

With that he fled, they were unable to follow since they could the rampaging of several B.O.W.s, including two which suddenly burst into the room. The two B.O.W.s that entered were humanoid with massive right arms, badly decayed skin and certain body parts were atrophied, notably the left arm. Lydia remembered the files she had read and knew at once what they were facing. A variant of the Tyrant Class B.O.W.s known as a Bandersnatch.

End of chapter, hope you enjoyed it, well; more info has been revealed, but there is no time to ponder it just now, need to lose the Bandersnatch's first. Read and review please.
