It has been a day since Leon left the hospital to find a way to save Helena and Hunnigan, if he can. Without any help from the agency or the B.S.A.A., Leon heads for a nearby ship rental to rent a boat to travel to their last known coordinates. The dock was empty of any people, no birds, no rental clerks, nothing. He walks down the dock, looking for any signs of people. He begins to feel like he's being turns in a flash, only to see the only ship rental clerk on the dock.

"Excuse me sir," he says, sounding nervous, "Are you looking to find means of transportation?"

"Yes," Leon replies, "I just need a small boat for a quick trip."

"A simple boat, yes, come come, follow me please."

Leon is glad to have found someone, but something doesn't feel right, yet it wasn't the man's attitude. He still felt like he was being watched. The ship clerk stops in front of a medium to large ship. Before Leon could say anything, the boat clerk says "You know what, it's my first time renting out one of my boats. How about I make it free for my first customer."

Leon is confused by how generous the man was. Unfortunately, he's in a hurry and takes the offer. As he goes off, the man falls to his knees, as if he has done something terribly wrong. Under his breath he mutters "Have mercy on his soul."

It's been a few hours since Leon left the dock. He stops the boat for a minute to go over the coordinates. Suddenly, the non existent eyes fell on him again. He couldn't shake the feeling and decides to search the boat. Nothing in the rooms, no sign of any cameras on board either. Suddenly, as Leon searched the bow, he hears a large splash in the water. He slowly walks towards the railing to look over the edge, only to be greeted by him ,Ruven. He grips the ropes on the sides of the boat and pulls himself on board. As he stands, Leon pulls out his gun and shoots several rounds into his chest.

"You'd think people learn by now," Ruven says. He charges for Leon and pins him to the mast of the ship.

"Remind me to thank that guy for leading you to me," Ruven says. It becomes clear to Leon. The man was forced to give him the ship so Ruven could capture him. He wonders if Ruven killed anyone else in that area. He tries to reach for his radio, but Ruven yanks it off saying "No back up this time."

He tosses Leon to the ground before continuing. "The only reason I'm keeping you alive is so I have 'bait for my hook', if you know what I mean."

Leon looks up to Ruven with a grin and replies "You got that right, if I'm bait, then you're the catch."

Without warning, small boats appear in the distance, the B.S.A.A. symbol on the side. As they come up to the side of the boat, B.S.A.A. soldiers, along with Chris, climb over the sides and surround Ruven. Their small boats are tied to the ship by the railing. Each soldier has their gun trained on Ruven's head. Chris stands in the circle, facing Ruven as he looks up from Leon. "It's over," Chris orders, "come in quietly, or we'll make sure you don't get back up again."

Ruven stands there for a moment, looking down to the ground. When he looks back up, his eyes show murderous intent as he starts to chuckle. Without warning, he rushes one of the soldiers, grabbing him by the leg, and using him as a flail. He swings him around, bashing him against the mast, the bow, and other soldiers. His blood stains each part of the boat before Ruven lets his body go and runs for the other boats. Before he could jump off, Chris regains his balance and fires a grapple hook attachment on his gun at Ruven. The hook penetrates Ruven through the chest and hooks onto him. Soon the other soldiers, still standing, do the same.

Ruven stands in the center of the boat, soldiers struggling to stay in control. Chris manages to pull Leon to safety during the confusion. He stands up and looks at Chris. "I'll be honest, I didn't think this would have worked."

"Remember," Chris replies, "we'll need to head back to shore to contain him before we can search for Hunnigan and Helena."

Suddenly, the ship begins to shake. Leon realizes that Ruven started up the boat again before the B.S.A.A. soldiers arrived. They have been heading towards the coordinates this whole time. He soon realizes they are on the spot. Ruven stops struggling and looks off into the distance. Leon and Chris see what he's looking towards, an island. The boat continues to shake, more and more violently. No one knows what's causing this disturbance. Then, it happens. A large tentacle shoots out of the water and destroys the boats. Everything after was a blank.

Chris awakens from his coma. The sun beginning to set, leading him to question how long he was out. Around him, he can see what's left of his team and Leon, along with what remains of the boats. Everyone begins to awaken, gathering what supplies they had and tending to whoever is too injured to stand or move. Everyone was find, any others have either died or sunk in the water. "Leon," Chris says as rushes towards him. "Are you alright?"

"Yeah, I'm fine, but where's Ruven?"

"I don't know, but we need to find some way to contact headquarters." Chris stands and faces his team. "Everyone, listen, as far as we know, we have no way of contacting headquarters. Don't panic, what we'll do is split into two groups. One will stay and see if anything here can be used to send some kind of signal. The other, along with me and Leon, will search the island center for any signs of civilization or anything that washed up from the boats, clear?"

The soldiers give an all clear and split up. Of them, including Leon and Chris, there were eight, two accompany Chris and Leon while four remain.

It has been about an hour now, the sun has set, and Chris's group struggles to navigate the forest-like jungle of the island. Every inch was covered in plant material or roots. As their search continues, it becomes clear to them that this was no ordinary island. As they search, one of the two soldiers stops and calls for Chris. "Captain, look at this."

Chris kneels down next to the soldier and sees strange tracks in the mud. They were large, about the size of a face, with imprints of two large fingers. The tracks resemble nothing neither Chris nor Leon have ever seen. Suddenly, they hear noises from deeper in the jungle. Leon notices what Chris was looking at and stands next to him. "I don't think we're alone out here," he says. Chris stands and primes his assault rifle. The noises grow louder and louder. The four now stand in a circle, waiting for something to jump out. Strangely, as the noises inch closer and closer, they suddenly stop.

At first, they thought whatever it was passed, until a strange object falls from one of the trees. One of the soldiers jump back in horror. It was one of the other soldiers, or what's left of him, from the beach. Chris kneels down to examine the wounds, none of them were anything that Ruven has done. The wounds appear to be made by an animal. Chris reforms the circle and tries to calm his men. "Listen, what did this must have taken them by surprise. Just stay together and focus. We'll head back to the beach for any survivors, clear?"

Before either Leon or the his men could respond, one of them is knocked down. Chris tries to react, but only manages to see him be dragged away by something. Without warning, Chris runs after him. Leon tries to stop him, but it was too late. Soon, the three start running towards the direction the soldier was dragged in. The noises drown out any the three could make. They started running down hill, becoming so steep that Chris couldn't slow his momentum and trips, rolling down the hill. He comes crashing down on a pile of broken branches and bones. He stands up and scouts the area. His vision come upon the soldier who was dragged away. When he tries to help him, it was too late. His lower half was gone, including most of his organs.

He kneels down for a moment in silence and closes the soldier's eyes. Suddenly, he hears footsteps behind him. He turns to see Ruven, holding a large branch with blood at the other end. Chris aims his gun at him in anger. "What the hell did you do?!"

"Blame me for everything," Ruven replies, "is that your first thought?"

Chris unloads all his ammo, but to no avail. Ruven only stands there, waiting for him to stop. When the shots turn to blank clicks, he continues. "As I was saying, I didn't do this. Something is out there, watching, waiting for the perfect moment to strike. I could've kept walking, but I wanted to see the look on your face," he starts walking up the hill, "See ya."

From the top of the hill, Leon and the remaining soldier see what has happened and train their guns on Ruven. He gives them no response, like they were nothing. As he walks by, they do nothing, knowing it would be futile. Before disappearing behind the trees, Ruven turns around to face Chris. "Be careful, I'm not the thing you should be worried about right now."

Then, he disappears in the foliage. Leon tries to catch up, only to see nothing. They regroup with Chris, who is still angered by all this. All the damage Ruven caused. He then realizes what has happened. "He knew." he says.

"What do you mean?" Leon asks.

"He knew we were following him, using you as bait, everything, just to get here." He pauses for a moment before continuing. "Now, what IS here?"
