“Yes…I did. The G Virus…I guess…this is my punishment.”

Dana looked away at the old man. This entire mess that she was in was caused by the dying man that was lying next to her. Yet she couldn’t help feel a little remorse for what has happened to him.

“I was…only trying…to help…” He breathed out. His eyes struggling to stay open.

“Hey hang in there. I’ll get help.” Dana said as she tried to put her hands over the wound that was causing him this pain.

“No don’t!” He grabbed her wrists to prevent her from touching his bloody wound. “It’s too late for me. You…you have to find her…” He was running short of breath. He knew that he was going to die soon.

“Who? Find who? Who are you talking about?” Dana asked in a frantic voice.

“My daughter…she has the key…Angela…find her…” suddenly he collapsed as hr breathed his last breath. Dana just stared at the body of the old man whose eyes were still open. A large feeling of guilt grew in her stomach. She silently mourned for him as she gently closed his eyes.

“I’ll find her…” she said quietly. She noticed that he was holding some sort of a diary in his hands. She gently took the Diary from him as she opened the book. The book was filled with man numerous entries and mentions of his daughter Angela Ashford. She smiled and giggled a little at the way he described his daughter and how proud he was of her. As she read more into the diary, she noticed an entry that got her attention.

Today was an interesting day. While at lunch I met an interesting little reporter asking me questions about our company. I met her bunch of times but never actually had a chance to speak to her one on one. I guess you can call it the lack of company here at umbrella that made me want to talk to her. She was a very nice and lovely woman. She would be the ideal woman that I would want my little Angela to grow up like. I’m really starting to take a liking to her. I’m sure Alice and I would become great friends.

“Alice?!” Dana said quietly. He knew Alice. Her hopes of finding her suddenly rekindled as she frantically tried to search for more entries that might be able to help her. “Come on. Come on. Give me something!” She continued to search the entire diary, yet when she came to the last entry in the diary, her heart dropped.

It’s happened. It’s finally happened today. They are going to do it. They are going to release the entire virus on the entire town population, transforming them into those monsters. Those poor fools don’t even have a clue on what is about to happen to this town. And now, we are about to die for the crime that we have committed. I managed to Hide Alice and my daughter to the “Manager’s Office” on the 5^th level of this facility. At least I did one thing good with my life before I die.

Dana closed the book. She knew where Alice was. The 5^th, hide. Dana repeated her self over and over again. She had to reach them before anything else happened. She quickly opened the door of the office and left the room. Right now her main concern was to find Alice and this young girl and leave this horrific place.
