2000
Claire casually walked down the street that had been filled with people only sticking out of the sea of red with mostly all black. No one had paid her any attention, all of them had flooded the streets trying to get last minute gifts or get to their lunch dates.
Continuing to walk down the ever growing street unknowing of a man also in all black following her taking notes and photos of her seemingly monitoring her.
Arriving home Claire hadn't noticed the man following her, locking herself in the apartment the man quit his pursuit of her.
Setting her bag down, Claire looked at the pictures she took that day. Nickolai was the main focus of all the pictures. He was in town for about another four days staying at the Four Seasons Hotel in Seattle.
Settling down Claire began working on her paper due in a few weeks that was almost finished, but should take long enough for streets to clear out.
Once her paper was done the sun was setting and Claire headed out with a knife and taser,*I've bound to have gotten rusty a bit, haven't killed a person in almost 3 years and zombies aren't human.*
Once at the hotel Claire walked right in raising no one's attention and Nickoli was in clear view for her 3 floors above her. Going right to where Nickolai was from where Claire saw him on the ground floor, he was in the same area and was drinking something strong and clear.
Someone else was also at the bar area Claire recognized Ada Wong, who was looking at her book paying nothing other than her drink any attention.
Claire watched Nickolai from afar keeping a loose eye on Ada, after another glass of his drink Nickolai went somewhere in the hotel that was leading him to his death and his killer following him.
At the elevator waiting area Claire met up with Nickolai,
"Hello darling may I ask your name?"
Claire turned to him with a blank expression,"It's Abigail, yours?"
Nickolai smiled,"You don't look like an Abigail, my name is William."
"You don't look like a William."
Nickolai smirked and the conversation ended as the elevator arrived and the two of them stepped through the elevator. At the 15th floor Nickolai stepped out of the elevator and Claire followed him for the several turns he made, and his dumb mistake of leaving his door open for another minute letting Claire slip in the room.
Moments passed by with Nickolai talking to someone on the phone and closing the door,
"I got all the data on a flash drive. You have my money, no?"
The other person must have said a higher amount since Nickolais' stone cold expression turned to a huge smile.
"Right four days, Weskers' little soldier can't do much without him."
Claire guessed it was Ada who was also in the hotel or it could be H.U.N.K. Who was a mystery and a half himself.
The call ended as Claire took the taser to Nickolais back,
"What the-"
Claire began stabbing him in the back so much that in the dark room his blood almost became visible with the moon light being the only light.
After what seemed like 100 stabs Claire lost count and finally stopped stabbing Nickolais' back was bloody and a mess of stab wounds.
"Don't ever think of going behind Wesker again, not like you can think ever again."
Claire went to the sink washing her hands and the knife leaving through the window making it to the building on the other side.
"AH, FU-"
Claire bit her lip trying to silence her pain. Laying on top of the building for a little Claire was crying and biting her lip hard causing it to bleed,*That got a lot more pain than I thought it would, messed up my foot and something happened to my ribs.*
Claire stopped thinking and tried to stand, which gave her the result of a scraped up right arm.
"Should have thought of my escape a lot better."
Crawling to a side of the building Claire tried standing up again which she managed this time but with loads of pain.
In Nickolai's room Ada stepped into the scene of carnage with what seemed like blood covering every inch of the room.
"Looks like I was late to the party."
Taking out her phone from her pocket Ada dialed one of the few numbers on the phone and walked over to Nickolai's body.
"Wesker, I thought you could have trusted me to take down Nickolai myself."
"I do, you were the only one sent after Nickolai. Hunk had a different assignment in the city."
Ada chuckled and gave a rare smile,"I think Nickolai's mutilated body tells me otherwise. He still has the flash drive though."
"Seems Nickolai had more than one enemy." Wesker seemed almost mad.
"You want me to find the killer? May have to stay a lot longer than I thought."
"No." Wesker now wasn't hiding the fact he was pissed.
"Alright then. I'll be there in 4 days, but the body looks like Amanda Kefmen and Arnold Smith but how do I put this? Unhinged."
"How so?" Wesker seemed a little interested, concerning he knew who killed those two along with 5 others.
"His back is hanging on by threads that are his nerves like Amanda and Arnolds stomachs."
Outside Nickolai's room Ada heard someone was trying to get in,"I got to go. Nickolai's partner showed up."
Ada ended the call and jumped out the window using her grappling hook to get to a different building.
Claire's Apartment
Claire sighed in relief and was breathing hard,"Finally."
Looking at what remind of her watch, it had only been 30 minutes but felt like a few days passed by trying to get to her apartment.
Making it to her room Claire changed out of the bloody clothing that left a trail of blood,
"I'm cleaning that tomorrow. I have to find an easier way, Chris is going to notice that one's disappearance."
Collapsing on her bed, pain shot from her rib ignoring the pain Claire easily fell into a deep sleep. Not even a second passed bye as Claire fell asleep someone broke into her house,
"God damn the fall was a lot worse than I thought."
Hunk injected the unconscious girl with a mild sedative to ensure she wouldn't wake up before they got to the facility under nearly all of Seattle. Picking the girl up Hunk noticed she had a cracked rib and one of her ankles was broken,*I'm fucked. Weskers going to have my head in a million pieces as a damn warning.*
Hunk left the apartment with Claire without anyone questioning it since most of them were drunk and half-asleep.
Outside the apartment complex Hunk stored Claire carefully in the vehicle he had been using all day to track her. Going around the the front seat to drive to the facility Hunk began looking sick from all the way Wesker would kill him for Claire being hurt,*God please let me live. I know I've done fucked up shit my whole life but I don't wanna die from Wesker, please let me live I just wanna die peacefully without knowing not watching it.*
The car pulled into the facility's driveway with multiple doctors ready to move quickly to take Claire away to begin her procedure. The girl was wheeled away as Hunk felt his heart skip beats waiting in terror for Wesker.
Waiting for a few minutes Hunk was still alone, he threw his hands in the air relief he lived.
BANG!
Hunk felt something warm make its way slowly down his back before he fell to the cold ground dead. After the body fell a small group went to the fallen body cleaning around it making no evidence some was shot.
