Epilogue...

Felix Benedict found her lying out in the middle of a clearing. "Stupid girl...dogs will get if she out in the open like that." Felix reached up and began the landing sequence for his "reclaimed" Helicopter, the emblem of the RPD emblazoned across it. The noise from the blades woke Harley up and as she looked skyward her eyes opened in surprise, then quickly shut as they teared from the harsh artificial wind. Standing up, Harley grabbed her bag and made her way cautiously over to the Helicopter.

Felix poked his head out. "I am so not waiting on you all day, I don't care how hot you are. Either get in or I am gone. You got 30 seconds, make it snappy." Harley looked dumbfounded at Felix. "But your, your-" Felix spit out his spent cigarette. "Yeah, I'm that thief you guys so generously kicked out to be left to my own. Seems a I fared a bit better then you guys did. Now get in!"

Harley didn't bother arguing, instead, she dived in and grabbed onto something while closing the door with her other hand. Curling up with her laptop, Harley began to say something to Felix but it caught in her throat. felix waved his hand. "Don't mention it...and sorry for being a bit harsh on ya...been out here for days seeing if I couldn't find anyone else." Harley looked up, hopeful. "Well, did you?"

Felix reached over for another cigarette, asking himself why he picked the habit up again. "No", was all his answer as he lit another one, the light from the lighter illuminating Harley's sorrowful look. Felix hit a few more buttons on the control, and the Helicopter zoomed away from Raccoon forest, over the horizon.

"Please, let me go!" Richard struggled against the restraints that bound him to the examination table. It wouldn't have made a difference anyway, his chest long since cut open and his organs exposed. it horrified him to watch, without any sensation of pain, as they dissected him bit by bit, traking something here, adding something there. "Please...please let me go..."

A man from the shadow chuckled as he stepped forward, and it seemed as if the shadows tried to follow him. "I think not. I have to recoup something from this disaster Richard, and you fit the bill cleanly. As the only other person in Raccoon City with the Tyrant strain, your quite the find. sad we couldn't keep the female Tyrant, we've never come across one for those before, heaven knows what miracles of science we could have performed!" The man laughed evilly as Richard screamed, the doors to the examination room slamming shut and dampening the sound from inside that had echoed terribly through the underground hallways.
