You Saved Me~Chapter Twenty Four

*Sherry's POV*

My ears buzzed when I came too. My eyes stayed blurry. I tried to sit up to clear my head, but something had me tied down to some kind of hard metal stretcher.

"Landon!" My voice sounded like little more than a croak.

I heard someone laughing in the corner. My eyes had cleared enough that I could see a lean figure pressing it's back against the wall. It was tossing something small and red into the air and catching it as it fell back down. Jake?

"You sleep well, princess? Because you are just so cute when you sleep. Or, rather, when a rag is pressed to your face, ya know, coated with the stuff that makes you pass out so I have to catch you in my loving arms as you fall? You should have seen it. It was very...Twilight."

"What do you mean? You did this?!?!"

Landon laughed again. "Yep yep. I sure did. See, the people I work for? They wanted me to get you so they could get to Jake. At first, they were going to inject you with a virus and let him see you turn. Antibodies can be a real bitch though. So this is the only way."

Times like these led me to be grateful for what my father did with his experiments. It had been hell going through tests and figuring out what mutations I had developed before the virus was stopped. Now, though, it saved me from a lot of the new infections.

"They won't let you get away with this. They know how to fight. They've been in this for a very, very long time."

"We all have been. You're forgetting that it takes years of training to even think of becoming an agent. Funny. The only differences between my training and the training you've had is that you were infected as a child, and my training involved the ability to lie."

*Leon's POV*

Light flickered on overhead. I raised my hand to shield my eyes from the light. Apparently Claire had managed to find the switch.

The hallway had ended right in front of yet another door. This one let out into a room filled with barred windows. I guess they really didn't want us escaping from this place.

A screen was lowering in the front of the room. There was a man standing there, looking back at us from the screen. He seemed oddly....American for this area.

"Ah, there you two are! I've been waiting for you forever! Although Miss Harper and Miss Valentine are taking much much much longer than the rest of you. I guess they're a little caught up though. What with Harper bleeding profusely and all. That was pretty shabby stitch work Kennedy, but you know, you just made my job easier."

My teeth pressed down on one another. Helena was bleeding again. She would bleed out unless Jill found something to stop it.

"If Helena dies here, I swear I will torture you worse than what you could ever get in hell!"

A sadistic smile crept across his lips. "That, my friend, is if you make it here. I still have some friends in store for you. Here's a little video though. A video of what's going on in the world outside."

The screen switched to scenes of destruction. Buildings were burning, people were screaming, and the dead walked the streets. They clamped their teeth down on the throats of the living, ripping out arteries and chewing maliciously on the strips of flesh they managed to rip away.

It wasn't just one city. It was several. I recognized New York, New Orleans, Los Angeles, Las Vegas, and Panama City. Those were just the cities in the United States.

The video clicked off, but the voice of the evil man who did all of this remained. "There you go. Redfield saw his video. You both now know what's going on out there in the world. What's going on, and you two aren't there to stop any of it. Nobody is."
