"Crap! Can't you shit faster!"

Rain, the black woman shouted at Chris for taking his sweet time in the restroom.

It was nervebreaking, suddenly finding yourself in this situation, but at least it was better than being dragged alone towards danger. It took around half an hour for him to get ready, wear some spare clothes left in the closet by agent Spencer and gather his long hair in a ponytail and in no time, he looked like a normal person.

He lacked the charm or looks of a male model, but he didn't look bad at all, it was as if he wasn't the same person anymore.

"If only you'd taken a bath, it would be even better"

Rain complained as she escorted the two of them down the secret passage.

"Keep up, we're already behind schedule, the others must already be at the destination"

Rain said as we walked down the hallway, to our left was the window that showed the Hive from above, the two women stood there to wonder at the view, but Chris didn't care one bit about it, his mind was too preocupied with the idea of zombies killing him.

As they reached the train station Chris remembered that George had told them the plot and there was supposed to be the cure to the virus hidden in the train, normaly he wouldn't do something stupid to destroy the plot, but we're talking about the cure to the virus here, it could save lives if they bring it with them, instead of leaving it in the train, either way the others might have already taken it with them, so it didn't really matter much to look if it was still there or not.

-What are you searching for?

-I thought I remember leaving a box in the train, maybe I'm wrong

"Are you talking about the one in that corner?"

Alice asked, and there trully was a sealed container in the corner under the seats, it was a stupid idea, but Chris liked to do stupid stuff a lot.

"What's in there?"

Rain asked somewhat disbelieving, it was rather strange that he even remembered about this box, but there was a chance he was really a scientist from the Hive.

-There should be a sample of a virus and its anti-virus, will probably come in handy for where we're going

-What do you know? Do you know what happened?

-I don't know much, only that we've been doing research on a biological weapon of sorts, otherwise called T-Virus, also that the facility was compromised

-That's the same thing we know

-I also know that the virus is supposed to bring the dead back to life

-What?

-Don't ask how, it's confidential and I don't think you'll understand anything about gene engineering

-Try me

-Viruses are either RNA or DNA, The nucleic acid may be single- or double-stranded, the entire infectious virus particle, called a virion, consists of the nucleic acid and an outer shell of protein, the simplest viruses contain only enough RNA or DNA to encode four proteins, a new virus will mutate in order to survive and as antidotes are created it will continue to evolve outside of our scope of predictability

-Woah there, what does that have to do with Genetics?

-Didn't you hear the explaination, a virus is nucleic acid, in other words it's a bunch of genes, by rearranging them and...

-Enough we understand, it's science stuff, my brain's hurting, just keep this thing away from me

-I wouldn't have it any other way

Chris said while taking the container in his hands, as if it was some sort of treasure, causing the two women to laugh as he looked pathetic hugging a metal case, which he refused to even open.

The trip was rather short and most of the time was lost on finding the box with the antidote to the virus, they were now walking out of the train and the gate was wide open.

"Rain to team, We've arrived at the Beehive, do you copy?"

Rain taked through the radio to the team.

"Copy! we hear you loud and clear! We've arrived at the destination! The burglars know more than they are willing to tell! We've tortured their leader! we're aborting mission! Stay in Position Over!"

Chris was shocked, he had no idea how things became like this, but he didn't know what was the penalty for not completing his mission?

Did Nick even explain what would happen if they failed to complete the mission, he honestly couldn't remember him saying anything about it, but it couldn't be good.

The problem was that he had to reach the Red Queen's Chamber and he probably wouldn't get a better chance.

"Rain! Rain! Do you Copy!"

Suddenly her radio was going amok for some reason.

-Copy Clear and loud!

-Act quickly, there's a case with potentialy a bomb in the train, secure it and wait for reinforcements, don't move or touch it!

Rain and Alice begun to look at Chris as if he was some Jihad Bomber or terrorist, he was holding the potentialy deadly explosive as if it was his baby, he even confessed that it was a biological weapon, which made it even more dangerous.

"This is Rain, we have a problem on our end, the biological bomb is in the hands of the bogey, waiting for instructions!"

On the other end, the Merc leader was sweating bullets, he remembered how these "burglars" were more than cooperative with them, they followed them willingly and only spoke in their native language, causing them a be even more distrustful of them, the moment things went downhill was when the Fatty warned about the defence systems in the corridor towards the Red Queen's chamber, it was then that they understood that something was wrong. These burglars knew too much, it took some torture to finaly make the fat guy sing, he confessed that they had an agenda, their mission was to enter the Red Queen's Chamber, after that they would be given their new objectives. They tried prying the watches from their hands, but they were bulletproof, they would have to cut their hands off to take them and even then they had no way of telling what sort of technology that was, even their tech expert still had trouble figuring out that weird cell phone the chinese girl had with her, what on earth was a touch screen?

The worst thing however wasn't the fat guy, whom called himself the leader of the group, but the weird biker, whom threatened them with exploding the train if they didn't take them to the Red Queen's chamber, even worst it turned out to be a Biological Bomb, now he had a headache, the mission really wasn't worth their time, who were these people and why does it seem as if they were all from different factions, how many foreign variants did they have at hand, who are the Pajama guy and the Biker, why were these tourists involed in this, who is the mastermind behind this.

"Rain, commence negotiations, what are their demands?"

One shouted through the radio, unable to recollect himself, the stress was simply killing him.

-You the biker, what do you want? What're your demands? Why did you attack this facility?

-You don't have to know, we're also following orders, but our orders are different than yours, we're but pawns, even if you killed us nothing would change, others will take our place?

-What are you, Isis?

-No, much worse, we're sent by umbrella's competitors and they've better tech and info than you can even imagine

"Make the fatty sing in the other room, we need to cross examine the facts, something's fishy with these guys"

One told one of the mercs as he left the room, they had divided the "hostages" into three groups, Nick and Matt were put in the same room, since they were the two most dangerous ones, then they divided the others into males and females, taking turns interrogating them for information.

Most of them didn't even know good english, but a few of them were very good with words. There was this one named Jonas, whom seemed to be a lawyer, he even carried around his bussiness cards, rather typical of them, but he was as slippery as an eel, they couldn't get a word that made sense out of him, he said that he was abducted and asked to see the police, many of the others also told the same story, but there were two whose stories differed.

The first was the Fatty, whom was evidently crazy, he said that they were sent by god to do missions and that this world was all fake and part of a series of movies, he even went on explaining what happened in the movie, spilling the plot as if One's team was supposed to die a rather painful death and how he saved them and that they should be thankful to him for his mercy and good character. After that begun the torture, until he confessed that they were abducted and made to play this death game and that the Biker was to blame for everything.

The second person whose story didn't fit was the Biker, he simply threatened them with death telling them about the Bomb, the problem however was that they had no records on how this group of people entered the mansion, there were no recordings of them entering, they just appeared out of thin air, Kaplan even showed them the footage, earning a good punch in the guts by his commander. Why didn't he check it earlier, it was evident that there was a need to check it beforehand, if he had they wouldn't have been in this situation where their lives depend on whether the pajamas guy is trully a terrorist.

-This is Rain, we've got a tiny problem on my side

-What's the problem?

-We've been taken hostages by the target and are headed your way

-Did you get any info from him?

-Nope, he keeps denying that the case is a bomb, he calls it a cure for some zombie apocalypse, there's a possibility that he's crazy or indoctrinated, I think they are trying to destroy the Red Queen's Chamber with the bomb, the case is big enough to contain enough substance to level the whole Hive, there's a good possibility of it being fragile, the target carries it with too much care

-Do you think there's a chance to neutralize him?

"No there is not, you should really be more careful on what you're saying, after all I'm the one holding the radio transmitter and the two girls are tied up, I will tell it only once, this case contains the T-Virus and its cure, Could I speak with Spencer now?"

-Wait, a moment

The merc leader was even more confused, Spencer was one of their Agents, there was no doubt about it, he wasn't even bound or tied up like the rest of the hostages. He was even given a gun and was on guarding duty since they had a lack of personnel, the problem was that now there was a chance that he was also involved in this mess.

-Agent Spencer, did you remember anything, are your memories returning?

-Not really, but thanks for the gun, it feels a lot safer with one around, it puts your mind at ease

-The terrorist wishes to speak with you, do you have any idea what it's about?

-No fucking clue, what's the situation at the other side?

-Alice and Rain have been taken hostage, there's a posibility they wish to destroy the Red Queen and burrow the Hive underground with all of us, there's a high possibility that they can teleport away after setting the explosives in place

-Have we found any traces of explosives?

-Non of them has any, but on them, but they might just be transmitters for explosives to be transported in or those watches might well be the explosives, we might already have 11 bombs in our hands

-What do you need me to do?

-Talk with him, negotiate an exchange, we go out, they go in, everybody lives

-I'll try it, alright, here's the transmitter

"This is Spencer talking, what are your demands?"

Spencer's voice didn't have any trace of nervousness or stress, he spoke as if this was a simple chat in his life.

"Pakket v moyh rukah, Ya hatsu uvideth Korolevu"

Spencer was now shocked, not because he understood what the other was saying, but because his memories were returning a bit.

=The packet is in my hands, I want to see the Queen=

"What's he saying, what language is that?"

The one begun to curse as he couldn't understand what was going on, his resume of skills didn't go as far as foreign languages, he wouldn't be able to tell apart russian, chinese or greek even if you forced him to do so.

"It's Russian"

Spencer answered, while trying to recall more about his lost memories, but what was the package, why did he feel as if something fishy was going on, as if something wasn't right.

"Motherfucking KGB bastards! no wonder we have so much trouble in our hands with these bastards interfering, what else can go wrong! only zombies attacking us hasn't happened yet, what are you laughing about!"

One kicked Nick in the stomache as he was laughing hysterically, right now he felt as if he was seeing a show, he himself didn't know russian, but it sounded legit enough. People are more likely to believe some other country is attacking instead of believe in alien or monsters existing, it's simple logical train of thought.

"Stupidd Americans! hahaha!"

Nick begun to laugh as he made funny sounding russian accent, causing One and the others to want to shoot him, since he was mocking them in their faces, it was evident he wasn't russian and had no such accent before, which made it even more problematic, since it was evident that him and the pajamas guy wasn't part of the same group, then whom did he work for? How did he know about he biological weapon? What was going on here?

"Gde vstretemsha?"

The radio sounded once more as the discussion wasn't over, Spencer's fist was going tighter as more memories flooded his mind, unconciously he was about to name a bar that was around the area. It was just a memory and he then remembered a chinese person, talking in broken english to him offering money for the package, he immediately remembered what this case contained, in a way it was no different than a biological weapon, since one container could logicaly cause everyone there to die, but he couldn't remember why or how.

"Where do you want to meet?"

Spencer asked back, causing One to stagger and rash back to listen to the situation developing.

"Tvoya devetsa u menha, no Ya ne znayu puth, otpravh Nikolasku ko mne"

Chris answered causing Spencer some distress.

-What did he say?

-He's playing us, he asked us to sent him the biker guy as a guide, since he doesn't know the way

-What did you say?

-What do you want me to say? He just threatened to kill Alice

-Tell him we agree to his demands, tell him to send Rain in exchange, it's a fair exchange

-Why Rain and not Alice?

-Alice has amnesia, she's of no help against these pigs!

-I refuse!

-I've smelt that there's something wrong about you, are you in cahoots with them?

This time One and Spencer were holding their guns at one another, before Spencer dropped his own, seemingly to defuse the situation, but he just saw that he was outgunned and didn't wish to die, especialy now that his memory was slowly returning.

"Do as I told you, if I don't hear "Rain" in your speech, you will be sitting next to those guys, J.D. take his gun!"

One then shoved the radio transmitter towards Spencer's face.

"Now sing the song we agreed upon"

Spencer looked at One with some hostility, but then he smiled and opened communications.

"Ou nas problema, natsialnik hotset shtobi ti otprovel nam Rain, nu yesli ti hotsesh mi mozem dogovoritsa"

-Speak English you fuck! other than Rain I didn't understand shit you said!

-I told him that you want him to send us Rain and that we wish to compromise

-Why didn't you say so?

-Because he might not understand it if I talk in english

Spencer smiled mockingly, but all the mercs could do was glare at him, since non of them knew russian, all they knew was that they had an accent and some sporadic words, most of them insults.

-Medic isn't your surname Danilova, why don't you know russian, isn't your surname russian?

-Shut it Chad, isn't your surname German? Why don't you speak German?

Everyone begun to laugh, only One was more and more irritated, his mission had went to hell and he had no idea what to expect anymore.

On the other side of the Radio Chris had the time of his life, while the other members of his team were taken hostage at the point of a gun, he was sitting there as Rain was taking off her clothes in order to show to him that she wasn't concealing a weapon under the thick layers of body armor and clothing.

-So was the show good enough for you?

-Not really, I think you need to shake that booty, but pas mal, pas mal

-So what do you need me to do now, give you a blowjob?

-Nope, just put your clothes back on, you're leaving, in exchange for a guide, see you in a blink

Rain was enraged as Chris turned round, not even caring about her as he wore her gun on his shoulder and her pistols and knives were on his self, she felt naked without her guns, not just because she was half naked, but because to a soldier their guns are something more than weapons, they are a symbol of safety, holding your gun even if it has no bullet inside gives you a sense of security similar to wearing clothes when you go outside.

Chris opened the Sealed container and and saw twelve vials with a spiral form in the inside, seven containing the virus and the other seven the cure, he didn't know which was which until he saw a small injection gun with the yellow fluid inside it, Spencer knew what he was doing, he had already prepared a cure just in case something had gone wrong during his escape.

"Is that the virus?"

Alice asked from behind him.

-Probably

-Why are you doing this? You don't feel like a bad person

-It's nothing personal, it's just survival, if I don't reach the Red Queen's chamber in 3 days and receive further orders, they'll just kill me, as simple as that

-Who are they?

-You don't want to know

-How do you know?

-Because then they will kill you as well

Alice went silent as Rain approached him from behind as well, rather curious to see what was inside the sealed container or so Chris thought, before she begun to choke him from behind.

Only to be knocked out by Alice instead, with one clean chop from behind, it was a really weird turn of events. Seriously Chris thought he would die, this wasn't a sleeper hold, trying to knock one out, she was trying to break his neck, if he hadn't been holding his head at the time she would have snapped it in one move.

When he came to his senses Alice was holding the gun and she told him to carry Rain on his back, while also holding the container. Chris could only submissively obbey the orders since he didn't want to die.

"Come in, do you Copy!"

The radio begun to make noises, but alice stopped him from answering, she then took the radio and said.

-We've taken the terrorist down, we're heading towards you, Rain is down and in need of medical attention

-Alice, do you copy, report the situation!

-The target was distracted, Rain tried to neutralize him, she failed and is now unconcious, I've taken his weapon and have him at the barrel of my gun, we're headed towards you, the container with the virus is safe

-I'll send JD and Medic your way, I'll be holding the fort and waiting, be sure to communicate regularly

Chris was shocked because alice after closing the radio, handed him a handgun and told him "I believe you".

It was a rather sweet notion.

-If you really believed me you would have taken her and headed up

-I'm not weak

-I know and I don't care, just take her and go back up, you've no idea what you're messing with

His words caused Alice to stop as if in trance, her memories were returning, something about umbrella being Evil,

"You don't know what you're messing with"

"Then tell me!"

"They are inhuman beasts worse than animals! just look at this!"

"That's human experimentation! That's illegal"

"Nothing is illegal for them unless it's found out"

She couldn't see the face of the person talking to her, but it was a woman's voice, it felt as if it was someone important to her, but she couldn't remember who.
