Nicholai sneered, looking at the envelope in his gloved hands. Grey eyes narrowed. Water soaking his hair, through his jacket and clothes. He had searched and found the helicopter the survivors had escaped in. But no sign of them either. It was really a pain. He was hired to kill people, not hunt down little girls and their friends. Despite how well Umbrella paid him. So the sooner she was caught the sooner Nicholai could go back to killing people off. Running a hand down his face, wracking his brain for any idea to get to Raven with out any red flags going up with any of her friends. Not that he had any qualms about causing to children. He knew Umbrella had the girls sister and their location, but it wasn’t like he could just waltz up to them and say that he needed to borrow the little girl for a little while. Yeah that wouldn’t go so well, one of him verses eleven of them. That and he were ordered not to make a scene and he was just going to sneak in and grab the girl.

Reaching into his pocket he pulled out a cigarette, sticking it between his lips, before reaching for his lighter. Pulling his jacket closer to him as he walked down the street.

David sighed it was six in the morning and he was bent over the toilet, plunger in hand, muttering curses under his breath. You’d think whoever happened to clog up the toilet would give them a heads up. Pushing strands of hair back away from his forehead as he finally got it unplugged. Walking out of the bathroom, glaring at Kevin and Mark as he walked over to them. Sitting between them on the couch.

“So,” he sighed fixing his ponytail. “Which one of you plugged the toilet?”

Silence was all he was greeted with before looking in Kevin’s direction, the ex-cop had a distracted look on his face.

“Hey!” He said nudging him in the ribs, getting his attention.

“What?” Kevin growled glaring at David.

“You plug the toilet?”

“No I just got up so leave me alone.” He growled.

“It might have been me sorry.” Mark apologized.

“Its okay I got it unplugged. Anyway does any of us know why we’re awake at six in the morning? No don’t answer that none of us could get anymore sleep. So since we’re all awake…About Umbrella? Eventually they’ll come looking for us. And we need to be ready.”

“David has a point, not like they’re gonna give up on us.” Mark stated. Saying nothing Kevin merely nodded, eyes giving a faraway look. Before standing up and heading to the door.

“Where are you going?”

“To talk to Yoko, she may know what their planning.”

Alyssa swore out loud as she balled up another piece of paper and tossed it to the side before reaching for her notebook again, Yoko at her side, chewing on her finger nails much to the dismay of Cindy who had told her time and time again not to. Typing some code into the computer. Probably hacking into Umbrella’s network, judging by the red and white logo off to the right.

“Find anything interesting?” Rita asked, yawning tiredly. Peeking over Yoko’s shoulder at the screen. As Yoko tried for the third time to figure out the password.

“Try murdering bastards.” Alyssa suggested looking briefly from her paper. Grinning slightly Yoko shook her head. Alyssa grinned to Cindy, who grinned right back at her before turning to Yoko once again.

“Okay then how about…” Cindy scrunched up her face, tapping her finger against her chin I n thought, when there was a knock on the door. Sighing and heading for the door. “Who’s there?” Cindy asked.

“The man of your dreams.” A familiar, amused voice answered. Alyssa scowled as Cindy opened the door to reveal Kevin leaning against the door frame, giving Cindy a crooked grin as he walked past her.

Jealous? A voice whispered, her cheeks tinted a light pink before quickly turning back to her note book. Why would I be jealous? So he smiles at Cindy big freaking deal it’s not like I got the hots for him. She reasoned with her self, pressing pencil to paper firmly, teeth gritted, eyes narrowed. Snap! Eyes widened for a brief moment as she looked down at her pencil, the lead that had broke off rolled off her paper as Alyssa searched for a pencil sharpener she had. Walking around the table, sighing as she found it on the floor in front of the coffee table. Kevin watched as Alyssa bent down to pick up the pencil sharpener. Before moving to stand behind her, his hand brushing against her behind for a brief second before Alyssa shot up as if some had stuck a hot poker down the back of her pants.

Spinning around Alyssa glared at him, raising her hand; she brought it down hard across his face, his head snapping to the left. Gingerly touching his stinging cheek, glaring at Alyssa. But said nothing as she turned away. Mmm feisty! He thought as he walked over to sit next to Yoko.

“So any luck?” he asked casually, placing a arm over her shoulders, causing the younger woman to blush slightly before shaking her head. “No I still can’t figure out the password sorry this is taking so long.” She said looking apologetically at him.

“No worries it isn’t like I could so any better.” Kevin said with a shrug of his road shoulders. When Raven spoke up.

“I know this sound weird but try Valentine.” Receiving odd looks from most of the people in the room before answering. “My sisters’ boyfriends last name.” She answered.

“Also the last name of my friend in S.T.A.R.S I wonder how she’s doing.”

Nobody cares!” Alyssa hollered from her spot on the couch, tossing another piece of paper to the side. Kevin smirked, “And you call yourself a journalist?” he mocked, sitting up straight, Alyssa glared at him as he turned away, pleased with his insult. Just as she opened her mouth to respond, when Yoko spoke up.

“Uh, Raven…was your sister’s boyfriend an Umbrella scientist? And while you’re at it tell me your last name.” She said.

“Yeah, I know this because of the letters my sister sent me. And my last name is Adams…why?”

“Before I answer that was your sisters name Angela?” Upon realizing where this was going Raven’s heart stopped, she looked into Yoko’s eyes, slowly she walked over to Yoko, hoping, hoping that she was wrong, and hoping that this was just another nightmare.

But upon seeing her sisters file in the Umbrella data base and knew that this was neither nightmare, nor sick joke as she dropped to her knees, Yoko and Kevin rushing to her side, her eyes dull and empty. She didn’t cry, she never cried. Not even after Kevin picked her up and lead her to her bed still holding her, even as she remained silent, staring out the window at the city before her.
