Remembering everything while his head felt on fire, Chris turned to Piers' with a slightly angry voice. Members of some of the teams were in the wreckage, burning the cocoons and any signs of infection or reinfections. Though it was a safety precaution it was a big one. Flamethrowers on max power as the team removed them, but Chris' face never changed.

"Piers..."

Piers turned to him curiously. "Sir?"

"What happened to Ada Wong?"

The other male raced closer, shock on his face. "You remember!" He paused, looking over Chris' blank expression. "Captain?"

"Where is she?"

"She's leading Neo-Umbrella. All these terrorists are—"

"Is she in this city or not!" Chris snapped at the male.

Piers answered with little hesitation. "She's been sighted several times since the attacks began. Yeah, she's here." Chris thought about this and stood up, holding his gun firmly in his arms.

"Tell the men we're moving out." He began leading the way as Piers turned to watch him.

"Yes, sir." He answered and began gathering the team to continue down the streets.

"Damn you to hell, Wong." Chris muttered harshly under his breath as he and the team began walking. Not too soon had they reached the team that a giant creature burst through the concrete, latching it's jaws onto an unsuspecting soldier who yelled out as he was dragged.

"Shit!" The team yelled out and raced forward to help.

"Alpha to HQ! We're engaging a hostile! Piers! Marco! Everyone on me! We're going after that thing!"

"You heard the man, people. Let's move!"

"Go!" Another yelled.

They raced through alleyways to try and locate the injured man, following the splotches of blood that aided them. They passed by a children's playground, which was silent and abandoned. The team was relieved knowing no child was playing outside when the attack began. They pushed forward, eager to help the soldier.

They find the blood trail suddenly thicker and filled with more blood that previously. Followed closely by the sound of gunfire from somewhere a distance away. They ran and began climbing a ladder when their route was blocked. They pushed open a door and ran forward, running into J'avo.

"Assume battle positions!" Chris shouted to his men, aiming his gun. They took it out quickly before turning and continuing up another ladder. Another ladder awaited them and J'avo jumped down from above. Chris leapt off the ladder onto one of the J'avo as Piers began firing on the other. After snapping the seconds neck they presumed climbing the ladder and entering the next area. Guns trained on the area when suddenly an explosion sounded from the ground below. Chris looked over and spotted Sherry and Jake from across the square.

"They're alive! They went missing six months ago in Edonia." Piers began to explain. At that moment they noticed a combat helicopter with several J'avo jumping out around the square.  "Neo-Umbrella's after them! Captain!"

"Spread out!" They begin taking positions around the square and train their sights, waiting for their moment to fire. "Take every one of those damned things down." They pulled the trigger and the bullets ripples through the air and found refuge in the thickened flesh of the J'avo below. Sherry and Jake would take cover and prepare their movements with coordination unlike any other. Jake, at one moment, caught Piers' eyes and the two froze.

Though irritated by the red, shaved and scarred male, Piers felt like he needed to speak to him. To make sure he was really okay. Both of them. He was the first to break the contact, ducking his eyes and hiding behind his cover to reload his rifle.
