Matt And Dr. Marcus

July 23, 1998 Training Facility Basement/Boiler Room The elevator shock a little bit on the way down. The thought of something above us about to smash us gave me chills, but Matt didn't seem very afraid of it. He just casually looked up at the roof of the elevator.

"There might be something up there. You better go check it out." He suggested examining the elevator's roof door.

"No way, there might be another monster up there." I said, standing my ground.

If he is trying to trick me to my death, it's not going to be here.

"Oh, I see. You're scared, like any girl would be. Do you need help into your carriage, princess?" Matt said haughtily.

That made me snap.

"I'm not afraid!" I denied, knowing that wasn't the truth.

"Then go up there and check it out!" Matt cried.

"I will!" I yelled back.

I pushed open the elevator shaft door and climbed out, with Matt's help. I knew this was a very bad idea, but I wasn't going to let Matt get the better of me. Once I climbed onto the elevator, I saw what was shaking the elevator. Two dark, gross humanoid figures were holding onto the lines of the elevator. They were covered in the dark leeches we saw on the train. Then they turned their small, leech covered heads in my direction, and began jerking wildly toward me. I took out my gun and fired at the monsters, my shots missing every time. I considered my knife but then I realized that my knife would do no good against these slimy, leech monsters. One of them went ahead of the other and came right up to me. It used its long arms to lash out at me. I tumbled over, barely dodging its hit. I realized that the monster was close to the edge of the elevator, and with all my might pushed the leech monster off of the elevator. It fell to the ground somewhere below. I rushed over to the elevator's shaft door. It was closed.

"MATT, let me in, why did you close the door, Matt?" I shouted as I pounded on the door.

But there was no reply. I turned around to see the other leech monster thrashing towards me. I tripped the monster with my foot and stepped on its head. The leeches that had formed the monster dispersed, revealing that the monster had been entirely formed of leeches. I gagged at the thought of there actually being enough leeches to create a human-like form. Relieved, the elevator came to the basement floor, the rust screeching against the elevator. The elevator shaft came loose, and I saw Matt had finally opened the door.

"Why didn't you open the door before? I could have been killed!" I furiously asked as I jumped down into the elevator.

"I'm sorry Tina, but I was a little busy myself." Matt gestured to the pile of dead leeches in a pile on one side of the elevator.

"Oh, alright then, but we should get going. Dr. Marcus' probably waiting for us." Matt pushed the elevator doors open and we stepped into a rusty boiler room.

The boiler made steaming noises and the rust gave the room an orange glow. But we didn't notice. What we did notice were the leeches that covered the walls. They oozed along the ceiling too, nearly covering the lights.

"Welcome children." A booming voice said.

There stood Dr. Marcus in the exact outfit that he wore in the portrait. He seemed completely healthy, but something was off about him. His figure shifted every so often, it was like he was a piece of jelly that moved when touched.

"You seem surprised. Didn't William and Albert tell you about your brothers and sisters?" Dr. Marcus gestured to the leeches plastering the walls.

What did he mean by Birkin and Wesker telling us about?
