One year has passed since the grisly events that took place in the small city of Raccoon, the events leading up to the nuclear explosion have been concealed by the government to keep the populace from learning of the Virus. The few people that knew of the Virus were forced underground for several years until the Umbrella officially called off their search for them. It was then that the former STARS members came back into the light of day. Soon there after they began operations to rid the world of the Umbrella Corporation and all of its experiments.

Umbrella HQ Nevada

Jill and Carlos had split up soon after entering the complex just outside of Las Vegas, Nevada. They didn't want to split up but the complex was too large to search alone. They already knew that they couldn't have to worry about any workers or security seeing as the G-Virus had leaked into the complex. The only thing they had to worry about was the living dead. They were easy enough to handle. The thing that they couldn't handle was the smell of the rotting flesh. Jill hated this part of the "job" as she called it. The thought rarely crossed her mind that these zombies were once humans. It was her own way to make it easier to kill them.

Jill slowly made her way through the west section of the complex searching for Carlos after securing the evidence of the experiments in the complex. He had received a frantic radio transmission form him saying that he was trapped in the outside courtyard. Jill had made her way to the area that Carlos was searching and found the door that led to the courtyard. Jill looked around the yard from the steps leading away from the door and quickly found traces of a fight. Littering the ground were the remains of seven of the umbrella monsters laying among their bodies were dozens of shells from Carlos' machine gun, but no Carlos.

"Carlos!" her voice sounding terribly loud in the silent yard.

Jill listened for any response form Carlos but all remained still.

Where are you?

Jill slowly made her way towards the center of the yard to where a large water fountain with the statue of a mermaid in the center. The water was black and sides of the fountain were covered in moss and slime. It wasn't until she was standing at the edge of the fountain that she saw a man with his back up against a wall.

"Carlos!" Jill yelled and ran to his side.

He was looking out into the middle of the yard as if he was afraid of something; Jill felt just a second's relief until she saw that he wasn't breathing.

"Oh God Carlos no." Jill kneeled by his side feeling for a pulse hoping against all odds that she felt one.

Nothing, Carlos was dead. After a moment by his side Jill began looking him over to see what had killed him. She saw several bite marks on her arms and neck but that wasn't what had killed him, it was the single gunshot wound to the side of his head. Jill knew that once you were bitten that the only way to keep from turning was to put a bullet through your head.

As Jill sat by the body of her boyfriend in mourning she heard shuffling sounds coming from the east end of the courtyard, three of the umbrella monsters were slowly making their way to her. She looked back down at Carlos' body not wanting to leave him. She knew he was too heavy for her to carry out and make it before the timed explosives began to detonate. Blinking back tears Jill leaned down and kissed Carlos on the forehead before standing and taking aim at the nearest zombie and firing. The 9mm round punched a small hole in its head and blowing a hole the size of a child's fist out the back of the head. The zombie fell dead before the crack of the shot had faded and Jill was taking aim at the next. She downed the first two of the monsters before turning back for the door leading back into the laboratory slamming the door behind her hand heading for the exit.

She checked her watch that was counting down to the explosives detonating.

Only few more seconds I have to hurry. Jill thought as she rounded the last corner before the exit. She pushed herself harder as she heard the first string of explosions began in the back of the lab and made their way towards the front. She could hear the explosions getting closer as she neared the door, she could see Rebecca and Barry near the van waving their arms franticly. She could also see the large block of C-4 that she had placed by the door blinking green. She watched the explosive as it went from green to red just before she saw a wall of fire in front of her coming fast. There was no escape, she was dead. As the fire engulfed her body Jill screamed both in pain and in remorse Umbrella had Killed so many people including Carlos, now thy had killed her too.

Sweat rolled off of her forehead as she sat up, the scream from her dream caught in her throat. With her hands shaking Jill reached for the bottle of Vodka that was sitting on the nightstand and poured most of it into the coffee mug that was sitting next to it. The feel of the burning liquid helped calm her down enough to lay back down. The bed shifted next to her and a slender arm slid across her moist waist.

"Sounds like you were having a bad dream." A soft voice said with just a hint of a Spanish accent.

"You can say that."

The woman that was sleeping next to her moved closer and kissed her on the shoulder. She lay next to Jill for a moment longer before sitting up.

"I have to be going."

"I know."

The woman got out of the small bed and began putting her clothes back on.

"How much do I owe you?"

"Nothing, you are my best customer I love being with you.

"And why is that?" Jill asked as she also began getting dressed.

"Well for starters you are more interested in my company that my body. Second you are the only woman that I can have sex with without being grossed out, and last is that if I were to fall in love with one of my customers I would rather it be you."

Jill smiled and kissed to girl on the lips before reaching for the mug of Vodka again.

"That stuff is going to kill you."

"One could only hope."

The woman smiled and headed for the door grabbing her purse along the way.

"Hey Maria."

She turned to look at Jill who was walking up to her.

"I'll call you next time I'm feeling lonely."

Jill gave her one last kiss before she walked out of the small studio leaving Jill alone. She hated the silence, hated how when there was no one to talk to her thoughts became so harsh. For Jill, the only way to silence her thoughts were to droned them out with the strongest alcohol she could get her hands on. In truth she didn't like to drink but when push came to shove Jill had to push back. As soon as she had finished what little remained of the vodka Jill grabbed her purse and headed for the corner market for some more. The young woman working behind the counter smiled at her as she walked in.

"Hey Trish how are things?"

"Tasha." The young woman said as she reached for the Vodka without being asked.

"What was that?"

"You called me Trish, my name is Tasha."

Jill smirked knowing full well that no matter how hard she tried she would never remember her name.

"Sorry."

Jill handed Tasha the money for the Vodka then headed out of the store cracking the seal on the bottle as she went. She walked down the street taking large gulps out of the bottle swaying more and more with each swig. By the time she had made it half way back to her studio the alcohol had mostly impaired her ability to walk in a straight line. Her vision was completely swimming and suddenly she felt the horrible urge to vomit.

Oh boy how wonderful. She thought as she leaned against a telephone pole for satiability, as soon as her shoulder touched the pole she began to heave heavily. She heaved three times before most of what was in her stomach gushed out all over the pavement.

So much for having a strong constitution.

Jill crumpled to her knees as another fountain of mostly digested food and Vodka gushed forward all over what looked like a pair of boots.

"Oh nice one Jill." A young man said.

"Hi Leon."

"Have a bit to much?"

"No such thing." Jill said only to begin to heave again.

"Hey now watch the boots their new."

Leon stepped beside Jill and helped her to her feet. He almost had to carry her to his pickup truck and strapped her into the seat rolling the window down just in case. Jill looked out of the window as buildings passed by in a blur including her apartment complex

"Where are we going?" Jill asked looking over at Leon.

"Down to the station."

"Why?"

"Because, even though you are a STAR officer you were still drunk in public and looks like you will be spending the night in the tank."

"You suck."

Leon just smirked as he made his way for the Police station, Jill continued looking out of the window with the thoughts of Umbrella and all that they had cost her over the years. A few minutes later Leon pulled up to the front of the station and helped Jill out of the truck. She leaned against him as they made their way into the station where they were greeted by a rather fat and balding Sergeant that was sitting behind the desk.

"Officer Leon how are things with the wife?"

"Good and yours?"

"Busting my balls every chance she gets. And Miss Valentine."

"Hi." Jill chirped.

"Have a bit much again?"

Jill simply shrugged her shoulders and was led past the desk for the Officers lounge. Leon heard the officer behind the desk call out something about getting her a ride before they walked through the doors of the lounge. Already Jill was beginning to sober up and as she sat on the couch in the lounge she hung her head waiting for the inevitable arrival of her Ex-girlfriend and the inevitable argument they were going to have.
