Chapter 8: Trenchy Down

The Five went down on a train transport, Jacob, Leon, and Claire stood ready as Annabelle held Sherry in her arms. They make to the first level and jump down onto the ground. Annabelle bounces Sherry in her arms, getting a better grip.

The four check the halls and found them cleared and walk to a door to an office, it was reluctantly safe and saw they entered the office.

A few hours have passed, Sherry regains consciousness, Annabelle reloads her gun as she was sitting on the desk, Jacob was leaning against the wall next to Leon. Annabelle looks at Sherry, she places her gun away, jumps off the table, and walks over.

Sitting next to her, "Hey." she whispers to her as Sherry raised her head and looks at her. "How do you feel?" Claire asks her as she walks over to them. "It's okay, you're safe here," Claire assures her. Sherry notices that Claire's vest was missing and she looks down at her body and saw that she was wearing the vest.

"You can have it. it's yours now. For good luck." Claire tells her as she sat down and pats Sherry's head. Sherry nods at her and laid back down "Thank you." Sherry said to her. Annabelle got off the bed and kneels down in front of Sherry, "You were very brave in the sewers." she tells her and Sherry nods a little. "Do you miss your mommy and daddy?" Claire asks her 

But Sherry shook her head. "No. They're always preoccupied with their research. But, you know I prefer to be alone." she tells them, Annabelle smiles a little and tilts her head, making it match Sherry's and she looks at her, "I know how you feel. I would always fight to get my sister's attention, but her focus was on completing missions, so I stop trying and preferred to be alone." she tells her. Leon shot a look over at Jacob, he sighs and scratches his cheek.

"But meeting people is better than being all alone, trust me on that Sherry," Annabelle tells her. She nods at her and then presses her hand to her stomach as this alerts Annabelle, making her head shoot up. 

Sherry whimpers in pain, "Sherry?" Annabelle questions as the others look at her, "Come on! We better hurry! she's getting worse." Leon tells them. The two nod at him and they stood up and went to leave, "Annabelle!" Sherry calls out as she grips her fingers and Annabelle stops and turns to her. "Don't go," she begs her.

Annabelle kneel down to her, "There's something I have to finish first Sherry. But I promise, we'll get you the vaccine and kill that thing inside you, Ok?" she tells her and kisses her head, "We'll come back. I promise," she tells her and then stood up. "I'll stay with her." Jacob volunteers and Annabelle nods at him and he walks over to Sherry and takes her hand.

The three stood outside as they were armed and ready, "We have to search the rooms, one-by-one." Claire informs them, but Annabelle shook her head. "That'll take too long and we have no idea how long Sherry has," she tells her. "Finding a vaccine for Sherry is our top priority," Leon informs them. 

They nod at him, "Let's go." Claire said and they turn, only to meet more zombies. "You've got to be kidding me." Claire snaps as they fired at them. "They're here too?!" Leon questions.

"Do us a favor and stay dead!" Annabelle shouts as she nails them right in the head. Then turns around and fired at the zombies that were running at them, the two turns around, surprised that she even knew that was there. The drop and another friend drop as well. "What the...!" Claire shouts, "It's Trenchy again!" Leon shouts.

 The three then started to step back. "Friend of yours?" Annabelle asks them "More like aqqantice." Leon informs her, "What the hell is this guy's problem?!" Claire questions as they step backward, a zombie went to grab Leon, but Annabelle grips the zombie and shoves him at the monster. "We can't fight him here. Sherry and Jacob are right next doors." Claire informs them.
