Chapter 2

Jill Valentine stared across the big gymnasium. She saw the faces of people she knew and the others who she'd seen around in Raccoon City. Raccoon City. It was only a few days since the city was destroyed by that nuclear missile meant to contain the remaining of the T and G virus. Everything she knew about her life was in that attack and had gone up in flames. So did those other people's lives. Jill sighed.

"What's wrong, chica?" Carlos asked. He had helped Jill get out of Raccoon before she blew up with it and not to mention he saved her from turning into a monster.

"Nothing... Hey do you think I can get in contact with my friends?"

Carlos shrugged. "Not sure yet. Why are you in such a hurry to leave me? Do I smell or something?"

Jill glared at him. "Carlos, I'm not really in the mood to play. Can you just find out for me? I need to contact Chris and the others."

"Oh.. alright. Whatever chica." Carlos walked off and ran his hand through his hair. What was so special about Chris, oh what was his last name? Ugh... Why am I so jealous?! She doesn't even like me! I tried to flirt with her but she never advanced it. Should have known it was another guy, thought Carlos. He kept walking toward the office of the school. Apparently, Umbrella had set up a quarantine area for the survivors of Raccoon since many of them reported that many others were "sick." However, they wanted to get a story straight and try to get any concentration of the T and G virus into their hands again. Carlos knew this, but he just wanted to get out. His "job" was to rescue survivors, so Umbrella didn't suspect anything. He pushed the door for the office and saluted.

"Carlos Oliveira, U.B.C.S., platoon D, squad A." Carlos informed the ones in charge in the office. They waved him off.

"What is it Oliveira? Asked an Umbrella official.

"Sir I just wanted to know if there's any way we can allow the survivors to make phone calls. I just..."

"Save it Oliveira. We're letting them make calls in a couple days, so report that to the rest of the survivors. You're dismissed."

Carlos turned around and headed back to the gym. He saw Jill sitting on the cot they had laid out for the survivors. Jill had turned to see him and she met his gaze.

"Chica, couple days then you'll get your phone call. I know you want to call Chris but we got to wait. Sorry." Carlos looked at her.

Jill nodded and looked away. She looked towards the people who were in the same room as her. Carlos turned away and sighed. Jill looked up out the window and felt a chill. "Damn... Where are you Chris?"
