09. frozen pieces of memory

" what do you want for me? where is my brother?... " said claire as he prepared to fire with her sniper.

" too bad. I have important business... and with disabling and sending you here... "

claire shot Wesker, unfortunately he was too fast in dodging. he even strangled Claire.

but not long after, he released his grip that made claire fall.

" my job it would be easy. "

he left claire just like that. because he got an unknown signal in his earplugs right now.

( " What exactly are you planning, Wesker? If only i knew this was Wesker's plan. chris? " ) thought claire.

although claire was in pain from the wekser's strong strangulation. Unfortunately she realized too late that Wesker had actually injected something into her body that knocked her back unconscious.

-----

about 30 minutes later...

" ugh... Where am I? "

Chris just realized, but he was in a state of confusion. it's just...

" in my house. you are now safe, sir. "

The girl wiped Chris' face with a towel that had been given warm water.

" your... house? wait, are you... " asked chris

Chris remembers the report. there are photos.

" yes. "

Unfortunately, he changed the subject instead. because after all, there are many things he's facing right now.

" nothing. you just like my sister when she so young. ( is she chloe aelyn. the daughter of this village chief. ) sorry... " chris said.

" i see. I believe that you are a good person. not like those who had looted the entire contents of this village. "

" are you alone? "

" for now, yes. "

" for now? are you... waiting for someone? "

" I used to wait for my father. but, he said that I should be with Ryan. because sooner or later, they will come and catch me. " she said until making her tremble.

" who's Ryan? " asked chris.

" he's name is Ryan keane. 17 years old. he's a talented hunter, and also a bodyguard of my family"

" ( Ryan keane. if I'm not mistaken he was also in the report. but there is no photo listed, so for now I still don't know what's young man named Ryan Keane looks like. ) " thought chris.

Actually, Chris wanted to get up and continue his quest. but because of the condition of his body... he couldn't do anything for a while.

especially, when he noticed the girl's condition. especially the right hand that looks blistered.
