Confrontation
Walking through the mansion, I looked around carefully, leaving all the objects I'd gathered in a box in the other safe rooms with notes for Chris I took three cases of handgun ammo for myself and my med-pack before heading outside when my radio crackled to life for the first time that evening.
: Aconite, meet me by the pool if you hear this.:
: Daddy? What's going on? Is Jill with you?:
: Just join me Little Star.:
: On my way.:
I was angry that Daddy didn't answer my question. Why was he avoiding it? Finding him by the pool's diving board, I resisted the urge to hug him. "Daddy," I greeted as I joined him.
"You have questions?"
"Where is Jill?"
"She was injured and is resting in the lab below the mansion. Come." Daddy said briskly as he led me to the lab.
"How do you know about this? Why is there a T-virus outbreak? Did you know I was sending Bravo to their deaths?" I demanded as we entered a computer room with a massive creature in a tank.
'Is that a Tyrant?' I wondered as I looked at it.
"Magnificent, is it not?" Daddy asked from his place at the main computer.
"In a twisted way, I suppose. You didn't answer my questions. How do you know about this place, why is there a T-virus outbreak? Did you know I was sending Bravo team in blind to their deaths?!" I growled as I turned to him.
"This mansion is an Umbrella facility, devoted to researching the T-virus. There was another location not far from here called the Training Facility that was also compromised. The culprit was James Marcus, who somehow survived his assassination by myself and another. The Elliptic Train was attacked by Marcus as well. They both have been destroyed, and Marcus ended by Rebecca Chamber."
"I did not know at first that there was a leak, it wasn't until after you deployed Bravo that I learned of it." Daddy said, and my heart dropped to the pit of my stomach.
"So what? Were we pawns to you? Are you still working for Umbrella? You told me you left when you founded S.T.A.R.S.! Do you intend for all of us to die, but you? So you can be the lone survivor?!" I yelled as tears stung my eyes, and I wrapped my arms around myself, feeling my virus react to my distress.
Daddy stopped typing away at the computer to look at me.
"Not you, you are my daughter and far superior to everyone around you. At first, when I began interacting with you, that was the plan, but not now Little Star." He said as his hand reached for me, but I slapped it away.
"So you're still with Umbrella? Did you really think that I would just go along with this? I care about S.T.A.R.S.; they're my family! Chris, Jill, Barry, Joseph, Brad, Enrico, Richard, Rebecca, Kenneth, Forest, and Edward, they...and you're just standing there like they don't matter!" I screamed, tears of blood falling from my left eye as I backed away from Daddy no, from Wesker.
This man wasn't my Daddy anymore.
"Little Star..."
"Don'! Don't try to justify this! They were good people! They trusted you, I trusted you! When I became your daughter, you swore to never lie to me!" I screeched as Rebecca and Chris ran into the room.
"Nite!" Chris yelled as he and Rebecca pointed their guns at Wesker.
"So, you've come. Chris, you make me proud. Of course, you are one of my men." Wesker said, and I could hear the possessiveness in the 'my'.
"Thanks." Chris snorted, "Since when Wesker?" he continued as I moved to stand behind him.
"I'm afraid I don't know what you're talking about."
"Since when have they been slipping you a paycheck again? Aconite said, you left Umbrella."
"I think you're a bit confused; I've always been with Umbrella. S.T.A.R.S. were Umbrella's, well, my little piggies. The Tyrant virus leaked polluting this whole place, and unfortunately, I had to give up my lovely members of S.T.A.R.S."
"You killed them with your own dirty hands, you son of a bitch!" Chris growled, and Rebecca gave a horrified 'no,' causing Wesker to say, "Oh yes, just like this." Wesker said before shotting Rebecca.
She fell, and I caught her to prevent her from hitting her head.
"You..." Chris hissed when Wesker continued, "I don't think you want to die just yet. I have something that's of some interest to you." Wesker chided while he typed something into the computer before looking to the Tyrant.
"The ultimate life-form, the Tyrant." he said, and Chris let out a disbelieving laugh, "Hahaha, Wesker, you've become senile."
"Chris... you'll never understand."
"It's magnificent," Wesker sighed when the Tyrant smashed through the glass and impaled him.
"Daddy/Wesker!" Chris and I screamed as the Tyrant tossed him aside before turning to us. Seeing Wesker, my father, my Daddy, laying on the ground, unmoving something snapped inside me, and my virus roared in my veins as I let out a blood-curdling screech, "DADDY!"
