Resident Evil Until The End C3

“Chris, we need to talk”

“I’ve got nothing to say to you or anyone.”

“We have to figure out what to do about our situation. We don’t have much time, and right now the only option is to give Jill over to Wesker. The only comfort with that is Jill is trained to defend herself. Claire hasn’t had enough training.”

“You just don’t give a shit do you? It’s not your sister he’s holding. It’s not your wife he’s after.” Said Chris turning, his anger building up once more.

“No Chris. It’s not my sister he has. It’s my niece, my brother’s daughter. I want her out safe just as much as you do. Now, you can throw the famous Redfield tantrum and kick my ass, or you can calm down, do your job and think of a solution to get her out quickly and safely without putting your wife at risk. I know you blame me but Claire is a big girl Chris. She’s no longer a little girl that needs to be watched 24 hours a day.”

“It’s just so… Frustrating! Everything was great before the wedding and during the honeymoon and I come back to this” Said Chris a little calmer.

“There’s more Chris…” Said the chief.

“More?” Chris closed his eyes and swallowed hard before asking “What else?”

“Jill… We know why they want her.”

“Go ahead…” Said Chris not sure if he really wanted to know.

“I hate to turn what should be good news to bad.” Sighed the chief. “Jill’s pregnant Chris…”

“What! Why... Why didn’t she say! This is great!” Interrupted Chris excitedly, forgetting about the current situation.

“Chris!” It was the chief’s turn to get angry this time. “Let me finish. Wesker’s company HCF has information that Jill is infected. We don’t know how or what type of virus she’s infected with but from the reports we obtained she’s very powerful. Her strengths are greater than Wesker’s. Once she learns how to use and control her powers she will be a great threat to those who get on her bad side. We think Wesker wants to get her on his side to use her powers against us. We think the virus may be from her wound in Raccoon City”

“Infected… Does she know?” Asked Chris looking more worried than before.

“No.”

“I have to go to her” Said Chris as he headed to the door. The chief caught his arm.

“Chris, don’t mention a word about this to her. She can’t know about it. At least not yet.”

“Wait... If Jill is infected… What about our unborn child?” Asked Chris

“That we’re not sure of. When you left Jill went to go after you but collapsed in pain. We have Rebecca checking her over and taking blood to be analysed.”

“I need to go to her now then.” Said Chris.

“Sure, I’ll drive you.”

With that both uncle and nephew headed for the police car parked outside the quiet park. As soon as they arrived at the station they headed straight to the first aid department.

“Jill?” Asked Chris as he burst through the door.

“Quiet! She’s sleeping.” Said Rebecca pointing over to the bed in the corner. Chris rushed over and sat at the edge of the bed holding her hand.

“So you know?” Asked Rebecca as she continued to work on Jill’s blood.

“Yes, he does. I told him. You got anything for us yet Rebecca?”

“Yes, there is something in her blood but I’ll have to run more tests to find out exactly what it is.”

“And the child?”

“There is a 80 chance it will be infected as well.”

“Is there any way to help them both?” Asked Chris getting more worried by the second.

“Not until I can find out what type of virus she’s infected with. Once I work that out I can work on the cure.”

“Right, well you can’t get all that done alone. So, I’ve taken it upon myself to hire someone to work with you. His name is Ricardo. He’s a great scientist. I’m sure you both will work well together.”

“Can we really trust outside help right now?” Asked Chris.

“Outside help for what?” Asked a sleepy Jill slowly sitting up.

“Jill!” Said Chris hugging her tightly.

“I missed you to hun. Can you let me breath please?” Asked Jill pretending she couldn’t breath.

“Eh... Sorry.” Said Chris letting her go and rubbing the back of his head. “Sorry for running off like that. How you feeling? I was told you felt ill.” Lied Chris.

“I feel fine now. No, in fact I feel great now.” Replied Jill throwing a look at Rebecca. A look that said ‘remember to keep your mouth shut’. “We should worry more about your sister. Any suggestions on what we should do? I mean I could always take Claire’s place and make a break for it the first chance I get.”

“No Jill, I can’t send you in.”

“Chris I know you don’t like the idea but do we have any other way to get your sister out safe?”

“Depends… Do you know where they are holding her chief?” Asked Chris.

“Only just. Barry and the others have been working on it. She’s being held in a mansion located in the Forest nearby. Leon has marked it down on a map.”

“Ok, so we sneak in and take her by force.” Said Chris.

“Don’t you think that’s a little risky?” Asked the chief not sure f Chris’s plan.

“With a little thought I’m sure we can pull it off. We have a lot of good well trained soldiers on our team.”

“Well I’m game. Sure beats sitting around doing nothing.” Said Jill hoping off the bed.

“You’re not going anywhere.” Said Chris taking Jill in his arms.

“Chris, I’ve done all this before remember? And I’m your second in command.”

“Yeah but you weren’t preg… Eh… Never mind…”

“I wasn’t what Chris?” Asked Jill throwing a glance at Rebecca. Surely Rebecca hadn’t told Chris.

“What Chris means is, Wesker is after you and it would be risky sending you in with them.” Said the chief.

“Yeah, that’s right. That’s what I was trying to say.”

“Uh huh…” replied Jill with a little suspicion.

“I think it’s best you stay Jill.” Piped up Rebecca.

“See? That comes from the medic so, you’re staying.”

“What does a medic’s opinion have to do with this?” Asked Jill going into defensive mode.

“Come on Jilly, don’t argue, and please stay?” Said Chris now pleading with her.

“But… Hmmm… Ok, fine. I’ll stay, but I’m not happy about it!” Jill replied with a hint of anger in her voice.

“Then it’s settled. Jill, you can continue with training our new S.T.A.R.S officers while we work on getting Claire back.” Said the chief.

“I suppose someone’s gotta train them.” Mumbled Jill as she headed out of the first aid room, obviously not happy with the current arrangement.

“I’ll keep an eye on her while your all away.” Rebecca said to both Chris and the Chief.
