Jill has been on auto pilot since the tank room, it's a miracle she is still alive but thankfully she can rely on her reflexes.
She just wants to find someone that's alive and breathing and not hungry for her flesh.

"cough.. cough..."

Jill immedietely react to those faint coughs echoing between the rock walls.
Better safe than sorry she brings up her gun and walks slowly around the corner and freeze when she spots Enrico sitting against the wall.
She holster her gun and sprint towards him.

"Enrico! Thank God you're alive!"

Being met with his raised gun, she stops dead in her tracks and raise her arms.
"Valentine, is anyone with you?"
His voice sounds hoarse but his tone sounds dead serious.
"No sir, I am alone, I got seperated from Chris and so far only ran into Captain Wesker once."

Enrico looks like he's taking his time processing her words.
She takes a slow step forward still with her arms up showing no threat.
"Sir you're wounded, please let me have a look."

Enrico finally makes eye contact and his stare gives her the chills, but he lowers his gun and shows no indication of harming her.
So she walks over to him and looks over a wound on his left shoulder.

"Jill.. Don't trust anyone you run into from now on."

She looks up at him startled, what had happened for him to be so on his toes, ever since she knew him he has always been distant however he always showed them respect.
Enrico is like the contrast of Wesker, he is more about earning respect and guiding his team towards success, while Wesker is more follow orders and don't question his authority.

"Why, what do you mean? What happened to you?"

Enrico sighs and rest his head against the rock wall, he looks down and contemplate how to formulate himself.

"This wasn't a normal investigation, we crashed close to a train it was too lucky to be a coincidence especially since it also was contaminated.
It's like we were lead here, someone set us up.
Somebody in our team is a traitor."

The last words makes her thoughts spiral.

'It makes sense the Bravo team helicopter crash, the Alpha team is sent right after, the attacks at the crash site, we were hunted to the mansion, Brad leaving us behind is he with the traitor?Around every corner a monster is lurking so no evidence left behind.
The headlines would be "S.T.A.R.S officers sent to investigate, tragic accident" cover up, but why and by who? Who wants us dead? Was it because we were looking into this case, we became a threat? Who is covering this up and why would one of our own backstab us like this? All my friends dying gruesome deaths for what? What the hell is going on?'

The hand on her shoulder makes her jump and she's pulled back to reality, Enrico looks at her with a knowing pained expression, her face must have potrayed her feelings.
"Enrico, I believe you, I just, I can't understand why, do you have any idea who the traitor is?"

Enrico opens his mouth but whatever he is going to say is cut off with a loud ear splitting sound, a gunshot but in these cramped cave tunnels the sound becomes almost overbearing.
Jill's ears rings and she's shaking her head slightly as if hoping the motion would ease the ringing, a painful hard grip on her arm forces her gaze to look down and her eyes meet with Enrico's then she feels a sting in her neck, her hand quickly moves to feel what stung her but her vision is getting fuzzy and her body feels numb.
She doesn't crash into the floor though someone catches her and before everything goes dark she sees Enrico's lifeless eyes.
