| MONITOR ROOM |

"The cable car will take us down to nest." Ada spoke up while she walked in front of me up the steps and back into the monitor room where we had a puzzle to unlock the door, Leon was behind me. "This wristbands our ticket out of here." She held up her arm for us to see the wristband on her wrist, "Nice." Leon spoke, "So that's what we needed.." I spoke to myself, "Where'd you get that?" I decided to ask Ada, "Borrowed it. Anyways, we're almost there." She tried her best to change the subject, I didn't like how she didn't answer my question and immediately tried to sidetrack, but I didn't say anything, I just turned my head to give Leon a confused look, he shrugged his shoulders.

| TREATMENT POOL ROOM |

Ada stopped walking once we walked into the pool room, she held her leg and winced "Ugh..this damn leg.." "Let me carry you.." 
Leon wasn't even finished speaking before Ada interrupted him. "No." She said coldly "That would only make me feel worse.", I thought about saying something to her about how rude she was being, considering we were only trying to help her, though I kept my mouth shut. "Hopefully you won't have to walk much longer, once we get into the cable car." I reminded her, she nodded and continued walking.

| CABLE CAR |

Once we reached the cable car, the doors slid open 'ACCESS GRANTED' flashed on it before it opened. Ada looked at the wristband on her wrist and chuckled before walking in first. She immediately found a place to sit and rest while Leon and I walked in. I sat on the edge of the seating while Leon pulled the lever. "This may be a one-way ride, so be prepared you two." Ada nudged at us. I couldn't tell what she was thinking by the way her face rested, maybe she was doing this on purpose or maybe she was truly not thinking of anything but trying to let us help. I couldn't help but begin to wonder if she was just using us, maybe she said all those things back in the garbage room to Leon because she knew he wouldn't back down.. I was lost in my thoughts until Leon sat next to me - between Ada and I. 'THIS TRAM IS BOUND FOR NEST.' Rung through the speakers of the cable car, I chuckled. I couldn't wait to see what NEST looked like, but part of me was also scared. Was there going to be thousands of creatures lurking down there? 'DO NOT EXIT UNTIL THE FINAL DESTINATION.' Considering that is where the virus came from, I thought only of bad things.
"You know what I was thinking?" Leon broke the silence after we sat not talking for a minute, "I can't wait for the FBIto raid Umbrella headquarters and take those bastards to justice." He spoke while looking at Ada, nodding his head. "I agree..but to be clear, you're not working in official capacity." Ada chimed back to him, her head hanging a bit low. "This is a federal case. Once we get the G-Virus, I'm back on my own." , she added. Leon looked away from her and towards my direction, he shook his head and rolled his eyes. "Hey, Leon..trust me." She spoke quietly, the way she said it made my stomach churn, I didn't like where any of this was going. I guessed Leon could sense how tense I was while sitting next to me - also considering I hadn't been talking and chiming into the conversation like I usually would, he slid his hand onto my thigh and gripped it gently, his head turning back to Ada's direction to pay attention to her.
Now I couldn't focus - between the thoughts I was having about Ada, and Leon's hand on my thigh..I was lost. I gave up on trying to figure things out in my head and just focused on the conversation they were having. "You trust us?" He spat back at her, his free hand flaring out into the air. "Honestly..if I didn't, you both would probably be dead." My eyes widened at what she said and I chuckled - she really thought she was all that. 'She's just an FBI agent, what damage could she possibly do?' I thought to myself. "Right.." Leon scoffed at her words. "Look, I thought I might need your help..and I was right." She spat out as quick as she could while Leon shook his head. "If we can secure the G-Virus, I can make sure what happened in Raccoon City never happens again." This time she spoke confidently, stone cold but confident, her eyes not once leaving Leon's. "Ada.." he whispered, "You said it yourself - it's a federal case." It sounded like he was ready to continue speaking but she cut him off. "Leon, look at me." The female had raised her voice a bit, looking at her leg she pointed towards it before glancing back at him, she then looked away and began shaking her head. "I'm a liability now..if I'm going to finish this case, you guys are the last hope I've got." Looking back at Leon, Ada's eyes were soft - almost as if she was trying to manipulate him into believing her. "I'm not going to leave you here, either of you." He responded, shaking his head. "What if you're attacked Ada, or you need he—"
I wasn't even looking at the two while they spoke, I was looking at the front of the tram to see how fast we were going - it looked like we were pretty far under ground and that only worried me more.
I noticed the two had stopped talking and the hand that was once on my thigh was now gone. I looked to my side to see the two of them kissing.

My heart sunk seeing the two of them locked at the mouth, while mine was left agape. Ada's hand cupped Leon's cheek. Leon didn't move his hands, he only kept them in his lap, and to be honest I couldn't even see if he was kissing back - hell I didn't even know who imitated the kiss. All I knew was, I didn't think I could trust either of them anymore. Until I was for sure - I couldn't be so close to either of them anymore.

The two of them stopped kissing, and I looked away at my feet. "Don't worry about me..I'll be fine." Ada whispered to him, her hand of his chest, "I gotta see this through." She added, "..And I want to see you again." She placed her hand on his thigh while he stared at her "I got plenty to live for. Trust me." A chuckle came out of her and I almost threw up on myself.

'NOW ARRIVING AT NEST.' Chimmed through the speakers, I guess god really was on my side because anymore seconds of being stuck in there with the two of them and I wouldn't torn both of them a new limb.
The tram parked in place and it shook us, "Go, the both of you." She nodded at us with a smile, I looked at her and could barely fake a smile, the corners of my lips barely pulling. "Please. We don't have much time." Ada quickly took off the wristband and handed it to Leon, he held it in his hand and inspected it. "You're gonna need this."
"Ok." He spoke, with a smile to her. Leon and I got up and began walking towards the door when Ada began speaking to Leon again. "Leon..." she called and he turned to look at her, "I'm counting on the two of you." Once again she flashed us another small smile, "I know." I spoke up and pushed the both of us out the tram when the door opened.

| CABLE CAR PLATFORM |

Once we stepped out, I noticed the place around us was surrounded in rocks - the walls. The steps we had to walk down were grey but lined with yellow paint. When we reached the bottom, we noticed big metal doors that had the same signal on them as the cable car. We walked up to it and it granted us access - thanks to the wristband Ada gave Leon.
The metal door began sliding up to open, 'FOR YOUR SAFETY, STAND CLEAR UNTIL THE DOORS ARE FULLY OPEN.'
The speaker repeated that a few times while all three of the metal doors opened.

When we walked in, the place looked like a hospital. "Where the fuck do we go now.."
