Love and grief. Mother Miranda x Reader

Annette

Chapter 21

We turned around and a mutant scientist attacked us, I could tell it was a scientist because of his clothing, his right arm was completely mutated. In addition to the creepy look the scientist has a huge eye on the mutated hand!

"Oh my god! Jesus. Y/n I guess words won't work on this thing..."

We grabbed our shotguns and soon the mutant got upset, but a brief two minutes later, the mutated scientist pulls cries and falls into the abyss. When he was falling I narrowed my eyes, was that William?

Leon showed me the the tape recorder he found on Ben's belt and pressed the Play button.

"But that doesn't explain the rumors about the orphanage. I-I just find it way too coincidental Umbrella's one of the benefactors."

"You told me this interview was about the new scholarship Umbrella set up."

"Come on, Annette. Nobody cares about that. They want to know about the G-Virus, and the—"

"Where did you hear about this?"

"And that big fucking sinkhole in the city which, by the way, rumor has it goes straight to your boss underground lab."

"Lab? Y/n?"

"Now, are you going to talk to me or are you-"

"This interview is over."

"Hmm... What are they after Y/n?"

"It's complicated Leon" you stated.

"I want to find out what's happening here. And stop whoever's behind it. Helping people like them... that's why I joined the force."

"Listen, Leon I'm here to take down the Birkins, and their entire operation. We may not make it out."

"Whatever it takes to save this city... count me in."

"Heard of the Umbrella Corporation? They're a pharmaceutical company secretly making bioweapons. They've stolen a sample of my virus, which I was using to create a vaccine against Idiopathic Thrombocytopenic Purpura, a blood disease, but they modified it, and now it turns people into indestructible monsters."

"That explains the horrible things I've seen..."

"And that's why I'm looking for Annette Birkin, I trusted her my Company while I was at the Village, but she betrayed me, she's the one at Umbrella responsible for unleashing the virus. I'm going to bring her down."

After fighting some mutated people, both Leon and I headed out to NEST (a large, subterranean laboratory complex located directly beneath the Umbrella Chemical Plant. It was operated by Umbrella, and for its entire existence was managed by its chief of research which now was Dr William Birkin) But first, we needed to go through the sewers.

THE SEWERS

"This is how we get to Annette."

"Based on what you've said, the sewer seems fitting."

" Well said. After you..."

"Can't imagine a real scientist being down here..." Leon said while illuminating the path with his flashlight.

"If i am correct ... this leads right into Umbrella's secret facility."

"Come on. Sewers are run by the city. How could they have a facility... without the authorities knowing Y/n?"

"Welcome to corporate America. Umbrella's controlled Raccoon City for years." You replied to Leon.

"So let me get this straight: Umbrella sells monsters like that to who? Our military? Somebody else's?"

"They don't sell the monsters, they sell the viruses that make them. And Annette is who makes the viruses, or steals them. Annette is dangerous."

We took the elevator to go even deeper underground. In one of the rooms we found a woman leaning over a corpse.

"Definitely William's handiwork..." she said.

"Identify yourself!" Leon muttered, pointing her with his gun.

"Annette Birkin." you stated, staring at her.

"She's who we're looking for?" He turned back at you, waiting for your response.

"Not much time... Need to dispose of it..." Annette said.

"We're here for the G-Virus!, What's wrong with you, after all this time working with me? Have you lost your mind?"

"That's not going to happen, now it's mine"

"I'm warning you, Annette!"

"Oh yeah?"

At NEST's restricted West Area, I recovered the G-Virus sample. But I was confronted by Annette, who turned on her husband before being seriously wounded.

"It shouldn't have been like this... It's Umbrella's fault—this whole mess." She stated, looking at her mutated husband.

"What are you talking about? You, we... we were the good ones, don't blame Umbrella. You knew how they operate, but you decided to work with them , behind my back , you're Umbrella now, too. You're telling me you weren't involved in this?"

"Yes... But we never meant for this to happen."

"Then tell me everything, I expect a good story, do not disappoint me."

Annette told me everything right from the beginning, William's lying on the floor, covered in blood. He has a syringe in his hands. He injected himself straight to the heart with the G-Virus. After her little story we were back to reality.

"So you made this monster?" You asked still pointing at her with your gun.

"We took the G virus, but we never intended this to..."

"You can spin it any way you want Annette but you're still responsible, you weren't allowed to use the virus, I've never authorized you or your husband. Damn it!."

Suddenly William wakes up, grabs Annette and throws her against the wall. He mutates even further. Annette gets up with an effort and pushes a button.

"What're you doing!?" You yelled at her, who was now on a platform above you.

"We can't let him get away!"

"Alright... We end this here!"

System: [Class A] breach detected. Lab quarantined until target is neutralized.

After fighting with a mutated William, I was exhausted. He stabbed my right leg with one of his mutated arms.

System: Target has been neutralized. Ending quarantine.

I went up to Annette's and examined her.

"Jesus, that looks bad."

"Feels worse, believe me. Don't waste your time saving me Y/n, just tell me you'll destroy that G sample."

"Its my work Annette, It was never intended to this kind of purposes"

"There are a lot of people behind that virus now, The G-Virus is gonna go to the highest bidder. But if the G-Virus... gets into the wrong hands...

System: Attention: Self-destruct sequence initiated. Use the Central Elevator to evacuate immediately to the bottom-level train platform.

I had to evacuate, Annette was dead, and even though I didn't want to I have to destroy that virus sample.
My wounds are deep. I don't know if I'm going to make it. I miss Miranda, so much. I told her this would only take a few hours but It has been four days, and I don't have any form of communication with her, she doesn't own a phone. Damn, I'm so cold. My right leg is seriously injured. But I have to resist, the helicopter is on its way.
