Resident Evil: Secretes

Evolved and Taken

~Chapter 4~

Al Wes was a very deep-rooted man. He had connections everywhere and all he had to do was walk into A specific place. Leon and Jake followed him through to a plane... A private plane at that, and then were given a jeep driving god knows where.

Kennedy would have asked more questions or pried more about where it was they were heading, but the things going on made him unable.

He felt weak and incapable of comprehending reality, no doubt an add-on from the virus to ensure he wouldn't be able to get rid of it like last time. The Parasite had upgraded this time around, knowing exactly what to do to keep him docile; not that it stopped him. He chose to trust Wes and follow his lead, letting Jake use his wits to tell him if it was a trap. It was all he could do for now.

Sky blue flickering on and off, he gazed around himself locking onto a redwood forest... This meant they were near California. (Least it's nice weather here... Maybe afterward if I don't die we can visit the beach.) His voice told himself in a somewhat joking manner, yet at the same time, seriously considered it.

Kennedy felt a hand clasp his shoulder and looked down, eyeing the black sleeved wrist perplexed. (I think Jake wore the long sleeves,) he logged to himself, barely opened eyes looking up at the other, the young boys sterling silver full of worry. "Don't worry," he said, smiling as he rolled his shoulders and the hand off. "It's just the parasite making me all loopy, it's an attempt to keep me from finding something to try and kill it again. Of that I'm sure." Leon was able to explain.

Seeing the brunet calm down, his arms more relaxed. Leon felt relief flood his own body... The last thing he wanted was for someone else to feel fear or pain on his behalf. Which was why he told Claire he guessed it was a false alarm, that he was just worried because some gas had hit him on his mission. She seemed ready to hold onto the idea and do more... But he dismissed her.

Jake was lightly tugging his arm again leading him to a cave. "We are going to camp here till your brain functions better. I doubt you even remember where we parked the car."

"I don't even remember getting out of the car." Leon quickly quips, laughing all the while. But this earned a sad sigh from the other.

"Man that damn things fucking you up more than I thought. A shock you didn't wander off and get lost like some kind of child." The younger boy complained, Kennedy laughing even more.

"Shocking that I didn't fall asleep on the ground." This earned a tired grunt.

Inside the cave already laid Wes, the man near a campfire. Kennedy sat across tilting his head at the thing. "When did you get that started? Wait, better question, how fast did you do it all?" He accidentally voiced out loud. He usually kept his curious nature in check and was mostly to himself, but with his brain the way it was, it was as if he was a child on drugs.

Amused red flickered, looking straight at him, his usual cocky smile worn. "You are very interesting like this Agent Kennedy," he confessed, his head cocked towards the opposite way of Leon's.

The smaller blonde noticed and flipped his head the same way and snorted. "God I hope I don't remember shit when the whole 'loopy' thing ends." He snickered out. Everything just felt funny and light and he couldn't help it. Their companion seemed to see it the same way, enjoying Kennedy's childlike behavior... Jake, not so much.

The brunet frowned as he watched the currently asinine agent. "Yeah, well I hope it ends soon cause it's weirding me out. I liked the smarter version of yourself." The mercenary mildly complained.

Leon looked towards him and shrugged. "Didn't go retarded Jake. Just... You know, he paused and turned to the oldest of the group. "What do I classify this as?" His brain seemed to suddenly clear at that moment, his hand grasping at his chin in thought when pain unexpectedly surged.
