Jake and Sherry entered the Thai Lung building, and were met with the sight of Leon and Helena facing Simmons and his men. Simmons was on top of a catwalk, looking down on Leon and Helena, with the men aiming their guns at them. Sherry rushed forward and put herself in the middle. Simmons saw her and smiled.

" Ahh, Agent Birkin," he cooed. " Impeccable timing. Kindly take these two into custody, won't you?"

" They say that you are behind the terrorists attacks. Is it true?"

"What, are they running down the streets, screaming it to anyone who will listen?!"

" Answer me!" Sherry demanded. Simmons looked at her with an expressionless face.

" It's for the benefit of the United States- and global security," Simmons answered truthfully.

" I don't see how murdering the president is good for the country!" Leon shouted. Sherry looked between Leon and Simmons in disbelief. That could not be true.

" The president's dead?"

" Well, we have Leon to thank for that," Simmons answered.

"Goddamn you, Simmons!" Helena cried.

" Dispose of them," Simmons commanded. The men at his side began firing at the four on the ground. Leon and Helena ducked out of view quickly, and Jake grabbed a hold of Sherry's waist and followed suit.

" HOLD YOUR FIRE!" Simmons shouted, and the gunshots ceased. " Those two are still of use to us."

Sherry turned and faced Leon, trying to wrap her head around the situation. She could not believe that, after everything she had been told, that Simmons was truly behind the attacks. It scared her on how much she had trusted the wrong person.

" Alright, Mr. Smart Guy," Jake spoke sarcastically. " What's the plan?"

" I need to you keep Sherry safe. We'll take care of Simmons," Leon answered.

" That's something I can do," Jake agreed.

" Wait," Sherry butted in. She pulled out her phone and pulled out the small SD card she had grabbed back at the facility. She looked at it for a second, then handed it over to Leon.

" This is the information to create a vaccine for the C-Virus. Simmons wants it."

" Thank you. I'll send a call into FOS to come get you guys and take you to safety," Leon told them. They nodded, then looked at their options. Across from them was a door leading out of the building.

" Do you think you guys can make it to the other side and get the hell out of here quick enough?" Leon asked.

" Yeah, that should be easy enough," Sherry said.

" Alright." Leon aimed his gun, and Helena did the same. Sherry and Jake got into a push off position, waiting for the que.

" NOW!" Leon shouted, and Sherry and Jake booked it for the other side. Helena and Leon shot at the men and Simmons, then took cover behind another crate. Sherry and Jake made it through the door and were met with J'avo. Sherry aimed her gun, but so did Jake. They stood back to back, facing the enemy.

" You said you would run!" Sherry accused.

" I lied."

The J'avo attacked, and shot rang out clear as day. Bodies fell onto the floor, blood splattered on the walls, and screams echoed around the duo. Sherry heard Jake curse, and she watched him throw his gun to the side, and instead raised his fists, waiting for the next unlucky victim. Though it should have been impossible, more J'avo were flooding into the room faster than a tsunami. Sherry quickly ran out of bullets for her handgun, and she put it in her pocket and pulled out her assault shotgun she had acquired back on the mountain.
