RESIDENT EVIL 4: PROJECT VALENTINE

ESCAPING ROCKFORD

Meanwhile, Selene and Claire were searching for Steve. Unknown to them, they were being watched.

Searching room for room, Selenes' senses go off indicating danger. "Get down!"
She rushed Claire into a small room as bullets rained down onto them shattering windows, desks, chairs and computers.
Papers were flying all around.
"Targets still alive, intercepting them now"
Claire held her gun looking at Selene.
"You okay?"
Selene stood up digging out a bullet in her lower side. She hissed in pain and breathed. She counted at least 5 armed soldiers. Selene would need to be better. She looked towards Claire and knew they were coming.
"Go...go"
Selene leaped up firing her weapons as Claire made a run for it. Selene held her own as she slowly followed behind her.
Claire came into a corridor and was thrown out of the way to the ground by a fist. She landed with a small grunt and immediately went to raise her gun at a unfamiliar face.
"Well well, Claire Redfield. A survivor of Raccoon City"
"You..you know me?"
"Umbrella has been keeping tabs on all the survivors of the Raccoon City incident. Needless to say, they won't be getting far from Umbrella"
"So your just with them for the money, that's funny...it's all Umbrella cares about was money and they don't have it since they blew up their bank in Raccoon. Your nothing but freelance"
Hunk aimed his gun at her not wanting to hear another peep from her.
"Umbrella will betray you Hunk...like they did countless people in Raccoon"
"Well if I don't get my money then somebody is going to die"
A gun went off sending hunk flying to the ground. He held his shoulder as he bled. "You alright"
"Yeah...thanks again"
Claire and Selene looked back at Hunk who was addressing his wound.
"I shot you"
Hunk stared at Selene in disbelief.
"Next time, I'll Finish the job, it might be easier then letting you live"
"We're just going to leave him here?"
"Go on Redfield...I know my way around"
Hunk said not wanting her pity.
"You don't have to be with Umbrella"
"Maybe...some of us just don't want to be poor but we do want 7 to 10 figures"
Umbrella had deep pockets with mercenaries but due to the Raccoon Incident Umbrellas time would soon come to an immediate end.
"What's the bounty of Jp Masaki"
"Twenty grand first issued. They didn't say I needed a team to track him down. Just me"
"Who are you?"
"I am the one they call Death...but you will know me as Hunk"
Hunk threw a explosive of some kind jumping out of a window while Selene pulled Claire away just before the Grenade exploded.
Claire and Selene coughed and nodded to each other.
"Let's go, we still have Steve to look for"
Selene lead the way with Claire following.

Meanwhile On Arcadia

Alyssa Brooks sat on her bed rubbing her stomach thinking of her missing husband. She looked out the small window staring at the ocean. They've been off the grid for a long time since Gatlin. Hoping that one day Jp would be found.

"You have that look in your eyes"
Alyssa forgot that she shared a room with her "twin namesake" Alyssa Hunt.
"I know, I don't know if I'll ever not have it on my face"
Hunt knew she was missing her husband dearly. She swore to make Umbrella pay.
Quickly unballing her fist she decided to humor Alyssa.
"Well in times of an Apocalypse it's best to know the unknown then to know the truth at all"
Alyssa tilted her head in confusion.
"What I meant was, look on the bright said, Jp is taking down the bad guys while we're just in the  middle of the god forsaken ocean, better not to know the difference if we were in his shoes and he in ours"
"Well, that's a lot of room for a shoe"
Alyssa said chuckling.
"Exactly my point, I mean how else would Jp drive this default titanic"
Hunt said with a chuckle.
"I'll have you know Hunt, this ship is quite smaller than that one and chances are if Jp were here, then he'd be with the bad guys"
Gwendolyn had to add her two cents. "I don't see how you have to be so up tight"
"I don't know this Wesker fella but I do know he's bad knews according to Claire"
Hunt snickered. "Yeah a real bad man that I shoved his own foot up his ass, I settled my score with him a while back, seeing that he's alive here and different, is no surprise"
Alyssa felt something more to that story.
"You have someone?"
She asked.
Hunt was never one for these kind of talks. Given her history, she spilled the beans.
"In my time, I had Kaplan, I met him in the hive underneath Raccoon City. I sat on his back for short and he doesn't like it"
She said smiling at the memory.
"I do miss it when he called me 'babe', I even had his children at the time I thought I couldn't have any"
"What did you do in your time?"
"I was security for the Red Queen, it wasn't my best jobs of course but I made something out of it, I was known as Project Alyssa, way more powerful than Alice if I remember correctly, though that shit that happened at the factory, ive never seen her that strong before, except that time when she..."
Hunt paled at the memory of her version of Alice killing Angela. Freezing up for a moment and Alyssa found herself holding her hand.
"Are you okay?"
Hunt turned her attention towards Alyssa and smiled a small smile. "Its nothing. I should have asked you that silly"
Hunt put in her brave smirk and help Alyssa stand.
"What about you Gwen?"
Gwen froze at this topic. "What is this? The boyfriend topic?"
"Share with us"
"Alright since we're talking about it, Leon Kennedy"
Hunt started laughing as Alyssa smiled. "The rookie?"
"He's not a rookie now, yes we met in RPD, knew each other before then, in the days of the outbreak, we worked together. Even got chased by that guy in a top hat"
"The Tyrant"
Alyssa said. Hunt remembered that monster. One that Dr. Isaacs became.
"We thought he looked like Thanos from the Marvel Comics"
Again, Hunt bursted out laughing. "Ok now that is funny, I told Bell he looks like Electro"
"That he does, but I wonder if this world has anything based off what we've seen only in books, comics, movies. You get the idea that we started wondering who we are"
Alyssa stared at Gwen.
"And who would you be?" She teased but with conviction.
Gwen stood up and smiled.
"Project Moondrop" she stated proudly remembering her past. The death of her parents caused by Umbrella and the man that experimented on her. She would use her 'powers' for good.
Alyssa didn't know what to think of her self.
A super hero nonetheless.
But if she had to be something then she would think of Jp.
At that she smiled. Knowing she would see him again.
