"But it looks like she still had a plan of some sort with what had happened here" Shakila spoke up "I mean think about it, when we were dealing with Rhino and the other two, they get kidnapped amongst all the chaos, you know, while we're all preoccupied"

"Still doesn't answer where they were taken to though" Kiara added in.

Aimee looked to Hailey "Just think, where do you think Trinity would have them taken to?"

"What? Just because of that one kiss, you think that her and I used to be an item?" Hailey snapped back.

"I didn't mean it like that...." Aimee replied back.

"Sorry, I uh, I didn't mean to snap like that" Hailey replied, looking back to the ground again.

"So where do head now?" Zachary asked.

"Well, I guess we have to keep the weapons then," Hans said.

"Wait, what about this?" Dr. Zanasiu asked. holding up a discarded newspaper. The first page article referenced an attack near the Lincoln City Weyland-Yutani factory.

"Okay, you really think Weyland-Yutani has anything to do with this kidnapping? Come on, they're a respectable and dare I say, famous company."

Dr. Bailey pointed to a tattered banner hanging from one of the bulletproof glass viewing boxes. The banner depicted the words "Weyland-Yutani: Linking mind, body and machine" written in silver lettering on a stylized circuit board. "They're one of the sponsors," he said.

"Guys, we'll need to get the injured Cobalt soldier to the hospital," Alfred said. He dialed 911 on his cell phone. "Dr. Landon! I've called an ambulance!" Alfred yelled

(OOC - They're up on the catwalks that ring the arena. Assume they are audible range. Besides, Alfred can be really, really loud when he wants to be.)

"Investigating the sponsors are our only lead," Zachary said.

"Couldn't be glean info from Lab 101 first?" Hans asked.

Dr. Zanasiu shook his head. "No. Lab 101 is not going anywhere. Aisha, Cobalt Leader and Neville are. If we wait, they could be lost forever," he said.

"No one seems to be listning to me...." Hailey muttered to herself "I gave two possible places..."

Aimee spoke up to the group "Uh guys, remember, we've got Hailey who had been working for Dragonstorm as far as I know....mostly Trinity at the very least"

"Don't bother....they don't care...." Hailey muttered back some as well.

Dr. Zanasiu's eyes lit up as he heard Aimee speak. "Ah, yes! Thanks Aimee! The Trinity Facility is probably our best bet since according to Shelton, Lab 101 does not have the resources to do this experiment," he said.

Dr. Bailey nodded. "We can investigate Weyland-Yutani some other time. We must move now," he said.

"We can't leave the injured soldier behind," Zachary said.

"She's badly injured enough that she'll have to sit this mission out," Dr. Zanasiu said. He then turned to Alfred. "You'll have to sit this out too," he added.

Alfred shook his head. "Bah, I'm fine," he said, wincing slightly.

"So Trinity Facility it is?" Dr. Bailey asked.

(OOC: What do you actually mean by a redux exactly? Just lost on it is all, I'll answer that if I know what a redux is :lol: )

Aimee gave a nod herself "You bet it is...." she clenched her fists slightly as well.

Hailey only nodded a little bit, not saying anything else herself as Shakila spoke up "Quick question, what do we do once we get there? How do we know what's even there?"

"Um...I do, Subject 19 will be there...." Hailey spoke up "I know you've guys have run into her once before, Trinity told me...."

"Who is this Subject 19 anyway?" Aimee decided to ask.

"She's kinda like you actually....cute and all....except that she's dangerous" Hailey answered back in order to explain a little bit about Subject 19.

(OOC: Hellz yeah.)

"I guess it's too much to hope that I'd actually get to pick up my paycheck," Shelton glanced wistfully back at the manager's building. "They're probably  bit busy right now." He turned back ."Yeah, we should get moving. The cops have never been slow in the past."

(OOC: Technically it means a revisiting or reusing of a concept or story idea, but basically it means we're storming the facility the same way we did Pelvanida in DS2. Only this time Shelton and Stern won't be late for the party  :P: )

(OOC: Ah okay, then yes! That is my answer! *starts to dance for no reason at all* :lol:)

Aimee arched an eyebrow at Hailey when she mentioned that Subject 19 was cute.

"Well....it's true...." Hailey muttered back some.

Aimee then looked over to Shelton with a nod "Yeah, it's payback time...." she spoke, clenching her fists some more, glad that they now had a chance to get to Trinity Facility.

Hailey spoke up next "I uh, I can give you guys directions to it if you want" she told them.

"Thank you," Dr. Zanasiu said.

"Erm, shouldn't we help ourselves to some weapons first?" Hans asked.

They were interrupted by the sound of sirens as 4 EMTs wheeled in a stretcher.

"Where is the injured?" the first one asked.

"Up in the catwalks," Alfred replied.

"Sir, do you need medical treatment?" another EMT asked upon seeing Alfred's bloodied bandages and clothes.

"I'll be fine."

The 4 EMTs nodded and headed up the stairs to the catwalk.

------------------------

The 4 EMTs made their way to where Dr. Landon,  Spc. Crota, Sgt. Masters and the Mongoose Cobalt soldier were.

They then began to load Redfield, who was completely silent, onto the stretcher.

They then carried her off to the waiting ambulance.

Aimee was still looking at Hailey by that point.

"What?" Hailey asked back.

"Er, nothing, it's just that you said that that Subject 19 character was cute....I always forget that you can fall in love rather easily...." Aimee chuckled back a little bit.

"I am not in love with her....she's just cute is all....even if she is one of those Dragonstorm experiments" Hailey answered back.

"That...that is just odd...." Shakila spoke up, but yet, let off a little shrug herself.

"Hailey, you do realize that Dragonstorm experiments in general wouldn't think the same back" Aimee told Hailey.

"I know...." Hailey grumbled a little bit.

Dr. Zanasiu shrugged. "Sure, no one's using them," he said in response to Hans. Picking a Remington 870 shotgun from a dead guard.

Zachary decided to keep the AR-15 rifle he had "borrowed".

Hans swapped his "borrowed" Mossberg 500 shotgun for an AK-47 that one of the competitors had used.

Werner kept his Saiga-12 semi auto shotgun.

Alfred turned to Jayden and Kiara. "You won't tell anyone about the fact that be basically just stole a bunch of guns and we're using them without a license?" he asked. He picked up a Mossberg 500 that a dead Cape Buffalo guard had been using.

"Well, you do realize that this is stealing and..." Kiara begun as Jayden interupted her.

"In other words, no we wont, will we Kiara?" Jayden had asked her back.

"Fine" Kiara replied as she folded her arms, sounding a little annoyed at the moment "Breaking the law is not one of my strong points"

"You really need to let yourself loose a little bit..." Hailey told Kiara a tad quietly as well.

Kiara shot Hailey a small little glare, but didn't say anything back to her.

"I hate to interupt all of this, but uh, shouldn't we get going by now? I mean, the more we linger, the closer the three of them could be to death" Shakila decided to speak up next.

"Umm, the guns are great, but they're all loaded with harmless ammo," Shelton crossed his arms. "Unless we plan on bluffing people with them, they're not going to help. And I'm with Shakila on getting out of here."

"Yeah, we better get moving," Dr. Zanasiu said.

"Hey, Dr. Landon, Cobalt Squad! We're heading out!" Alfred yelled.

"We should also take some ammo too," Zachary said. He then turned to Shelton. "Shelton, practical shooting is done with live rounds, care to find some for us?" he asked.

------------------------

Meanwhile, the van carrying the three hostages pulled off a highway into a rather bland looking factory. The factory bore a sign that read "Trinity Industries".

-----------------------

Cobalt Squad made their way down the stairs to the group.

"So we're heading out now?" Sgt. Masters asked.

"Yes we are," Dr.Bailey replied.

Spc. Crota heard Shelton's comment about the 'harmless ammo'. "Trust me Shelton, these 'harmless rounds' hurt and they can cause serious injury or death," he said.

"I'd prefer something that I know will cause serious injury or death. I.E. live ammunition," Hans replied.

Waiting for the van were some reptiles.  They wore what seemed to be scientist uniforms as the van pulled up to a stop.  One reptile walked over to the driver "Bring them inside" he told the driver as he waited for them to be unloaded off the van.

***

Hailey thought for a second "Well, we do have live amunition in the van that I had come in, not a lot though, but there should be enough to help you guys out" she told them as she turned and took off without another word for the van.

Kiara watched Hailey run off "I'll go get her" she told everyone else and rushed off after Hailey.

***

The two of them arrived at the van, well, hailey had first as she jumped into the back of it where Rhino used to sit as she begun to rummage through some of the drawers available.

Kiara approached the van and glanced inside, seeing a minigun on the wall "Need I ask who uses that?"

"Rhino used to use it....before he was killed" Hailey answered back as she pulled out a drawer and tipped it upside down as ammo fell onto the floor of the van.
