Disclaimer: After four months of being AWOL, I still don't own Resident Evil as it belongs to Capcom. All original content in this story belongs to me, and I do know when one of you steals myself as I do continue to check the Resident Evil Archive everyday.
Author's Note: No you are not seeing things, I have finally updated this story after what seems like forever. For me it felt like six months and that was before my life is chalk full of crap that I have to do which comes before this. I would have finished much sooner if it wasn't for my new story The Crossroads at Black Heart Lane that has now become my most popular story. It was also because that I rewrote this chapter many times before I found the content suited enough for this story. Sadly this chapter is not really that epic, and was probably not worth the four month wait as this was more of a filler chapter. The next chapter, is supposed to be epic on mass proportions as well as being very long (meaning around 5,000 words). As to when chapter 20 will be out, I have no idea. I have to update The Crossroads at Black Heart Lane before I even think about writing chapter 20 of Handles. If luck is on my side, I may be able to update this story in about a month, but that could change very quickly. If you want me to update this story then you must review any story in the Handles series as that will tell me what I should focus more on writing. Well I hope you enjoy this chapter as well as hope that I weeded out many of the huge spelling and grammar errors.

Chapter 19: Sutemi
Steve was at the complete mercy of Monica. Steve knew that he was going to die. And she had every right to do it. In fact, why should Steve stop her? After all he was the one to end Monica's life when she was completely innocent throughout the whole thing. Steve knew that the only reason why he should still be kept alive is so that he could kill both Wesker and Mr. X.
"Monica," Steve gasped, "Please can you… just listen to me… for… one… minute!"
"WHY!" Monica screamed, "YOU DIDN'T LISTEN TO ME WHEN YOU KILLED ME!"
Steve knew that his human side would stand no chance in this fight. But if there is one thing he learned as Handles, he knew that Tyrants have a way of putting their opponent's minds into utter turmoil.
With one swift motion Steve kicked Monica in the solar plexus causing her to let go of her hold on Steve. He began to gasp for breath while Monica clutched her hands on her bare chest trying to recover from the blow Steve gave her.
"Lana used to tell me how sweet an innocent you were. She used to say how you would always stare at the sky at night just to see the stars and the moon."
"SHUT UP!"
"She told me how you wanted to be an astronomer…"
"LEAVE ME ALONE!"
"She also said how you honored all living thing's lives and you could never take it upon yourself to kill anything, even a fly."
"YOU DON'T KNOW ME!"
"You can't kill me, can you," Steve mocked, "No matter how hard you try, no matter how hard you put the fact in your brain that I killed you family, you can't bring yourself to kill me."
"GET… OUT… OF…MY… HEAD!" Monica screamed before she began to sob.
Steve couldn't help but feel guilty for what he done but he knew that he had no choice. Walking up to Monica, he kneeled down and pulled her into a hug. Too week to do anything, Monica simply used his shoulder as a place to cry.
"Look I'm not asking for your forgiveness, and I know I deserve to die," Steve whispered softly, "I blame myself for Lana's death every day of my life, but at the end of the day I realize that Wesker wanted me to think that. It was Wesker who forced me to kill her, who forced me to rape her, and even after I did it, Lana forgave me. Monica I need your help, not your forgiveness. I need your help to kill both Wesker and Mr. X and end this nightmare once and for all. Once that is done, I will let you kill me."
Monica just stared at Steve with tears in her eyes before saying, "I guess we have the same enemies. Perhaps I can put my differences aside until they are both dead. I can help you get rid of Mr. X but Wesker is too powerful to be killed."
"There has to be a way to kill him."
"There is only one way I know how to kill him, but the costs of doing this will cause great sacrifices to be made."
"I'll do anything to kill Wesker. He has caused thousands of people, including me, grief and despair. Tell me what I have to do."
"I can't tell you because Mr. X has too many spies and will overhear me telling you. But there is one way I can tell you."
"How?" Steve asked before Monica stifled his words with her mouth.
Steve eyes widened as this happened and had every urge to push Monica off him but when Monica opened and closed her mouth, he realized what Monica was trying to do. She was trying to tell him what to do through her lips without any sound and was trying to cover that up through the kiss.
Steve smiled, knowing fully well how to read lips thanks to his relationship to Lana, and moved his lips to tell her that he understood her.
The kiss lasted for a few minutes and although Steve felt like he was cheating on Claire, he knew it was a necessary evil because in the end, Wesker would die.
Chris was in a panic. He had went to Jill's room trying to find her, to tell her what he and the BSAA found out last night but she wasn't in her room last night. He was hoping that Claire would know where Jill was but he never expected the sight he now sees before him. Before Chris, laid Claire and Jill both snuggling in Claire's bed.
Thousands of images ran though Chris's head as he cannot believe that both his sister and the person he had feelings for, were lesbians and had both had sex with each other last night.
But that was before he saw the two glasses of water on the night stand with a pinkish tint to them. Chris's face went red upon seeing the tinted water as he remembered that tint all too well and with one scream, he let out all of his frustrations.
"SHERRY!" Chris yelled, hoping that the girl would understand more about this drug then Jill knew about it.
Sherry came running into the room as fast as she could along with Billy and Alfred who were both awakened by Chris's scream.
"Chris what is…," Sherry began before seeing the sight that Chris is staring at with anger in his eyes, "Oh dear," Sherry mumbled.
"Hot damn," Billy exclaimed, "I never took Claire and Jill as lesbians. Oh I wish I could…"
Chris had been prepared for the two perverts that were staring at Claire and Jill and with one fatal swoop, hit Billy on the head with the business end of the bat.
"Say one more word and I will beat you too an inch of your life with this bat," Chris said threateningly.
"Did they… did they you know," Sherry asked Chris not being able to say the word sex.
"I don't know," Chris replied, "But I did see that pink tinted water on the nightstand."
"Wesker's drug," Sherry said, "How did that get into the building."
"I don't know but from what Jill can tell me, that drug makes you very horny."
"They must have both consumed the water," Sherry stated, "That is why they are acting this way. The drug is making them attracted to each other."
"So they are not lesbians," Chris asked. When Sherry nodded, Chris lets out a sigh of relief before saying, "Well that's a relief. But how are we going to tell them that they had sex."
"Well we don't know that they had sex last night."
"I'll go check," Billy said excitedly before getting a whack on the head on the bat by Chris.
"I'll do it," Sherry said as she put her head under the covers. Seeing that both of them still had clothes on, she pulled her head out of the covers and said, "No, it looks like they didn't have sex."
"Thank god," Chris exclaimed.
"But we are going to have to separate them for the next twenty four hours; otherwise they are going to have sex. We are going to need one person to watch each of them to make sure they don't cause trouble. But who's ever watching them, is going to have to be careful because they will seduce you in their hormone driven state."
"Oh I call…," Billy began to say before being smacked in the head again with the bat.
"There is no way I'm letting you or Alfred, watch them," Chris said.
"Hey I haven't even said anything," Alfred exclaimed, "So don't put me in this."
"No you didn't say anything, but you were thinking it."
"Yea I was thinking about Claire and Jill mashed together…,"Alfred began before getting hit with the bat, "Ouch, Chris that really hurt."
"The last thing I need is for you two is to take advantage of my sister and my best friend."
"So let me guess, you are going to watch Jill," Billy asked.
"Yes," Chris replied before receiving a dirty look from both Billy and Alfred, "Look I'm not going to take advantage of her."
"Says the guy that hasn't been laid since college," Alfred retorted before meeting the business end of the bat, Chris was carrying.
"You know it's not smart for you to make fun of the guy with the bat," Chris said.
"Would you three stop fighting!" Sherry yelled causing the three to look at her, "Look, Jill is Chris's best friend so she would be most comfortable with Chris, if she would happen to do anything sexual related."
"So who is going to look after Claire?" Billy asked.
"I am."
"Yea that is a great idea because Claire would be so comfortable kissing a girl," Billy replied rhetorically.
"No she wouldn't, but Steve would," Sherry commented, "Do you know what would happen if Steve found out you were watching his girlfriend when she is in a hormone crazy state?"
Billy and Alfred froze in their spot, seeming to have forgotten that Claire was dating a deadly, dangerous tyrant that would not hesitate to rip them to pieces if he happened to learn that his friends were near Claire when she would attack anyone sexually.
"Point taken," Billy said stepping as far away from Claire as possible.
"Ok how is it that when I hit them with a bat, they just keep making sexual comments about Claire but as soon as you mention Steve, they cower in fear," Chris asked Sherry.
"Come on man, Steve is a tyrant," Alfred stated, "He has killed a lot of people, and just because he's all cuddly around Claire, does not mean he will not murder us horribly."
"Alfred, Billy, you can go now." Sherry stated, "Try to find Alexia and inform her of what's going on."
"But…" They both began to say.
"As the director of the ABTS, I order you to go find Alexia!"
"Yes director," they both said and they quickly left the room.
"Unbelievable," Chris said, "They listen to both you and Steve but they don't listen to me."
"It's because you have no authority over them," Sherry replied, "But Steve and I do."
"Well what are we going to do with them?"
"Just give me a second," Sherry said, "I have something in my room that might help."
Sherry ran into her room and five minutes later came back carrying two jet injectors filled with some type of serum.
"Take Jill into her room and inject this serum into her neck. This will knock her out until the effect of Wesker's drug kicks in. DO NOT use this until you are in her room. The effects of this serum are very noticeable and the last thing we need is for everyone to figure out that Jill has been drugged.
Chris nodded and scooped Jill in her arms, bridal style, and carried her to her room. Along the way, many of the BSAA agents saw this and misinterpreted this as Chris getting some last night. They all went over to congratulate Chris on finally "banging" Jill which pissed him off.
When they arrived at Jill's room, Jill began to stir from her slumber. This went unnoticed by Chris as he was too busy fighting of the embarrassment of the situation. He was unable to notice the small movements Jill was making and it wasn't until Chris gently placed her on the bed, when Jill lightly touched Chris's arm.
Chris stiffened at the sudden touch of Jill's hand on his bicep. Chris turned to face Jill, who was now staring at him with her blue eyes staring at him. Chris could see that Jill's eyes were filled with lust as it stared at her new prey, causing Chris to gulp.
"What strong arms you have, Chris," Jill seductively purred as she began to squeeze Chris's bicep.
Chris was at a loss of what to do. Jill, the girl he had a strong attraction to, was about ready to throw herself at him. But he knew all too well that Jill was only feeling this way because of Wesker's sick drug.
Chris didn't have time to think about the situation as Jill had already jumped him and pressed her lips down on to his. Chris stepped back, surprised at Jill's actions, which caused Jill to wrap her legs around Chris waist.
Chris could hardly think straight in this situation as he began to return Jill's affection. Jill was quick about shoving her tongue into Chris's mouth, causing Chris to moan.
As their tongues danced around in Chris's mouth, Chris remembered what was causing Jill to act like this. Jill was always a sweet person and would never in a million years act sexually aggressive.
The Jill in front of him, who was kissing him and dominating his tongue, only cared about relieving sexual tension. And from how Jill shoved her tongue into Chris's mouth, she would just about rape him, just to relive the sexual tension building up in her body.
It was in that precise moment that Chris took out the serum and stabbed the needle into Jill's neck. Jill didn't have time to respond before Chris injected the serum into her neck, rendering her unconscious. Chris placed Jill on the bed and quickly left the room, making sure he locked the door.
Sherry was also having the same problem with Claire as Chris did with Jill. Yet if Billy and Alfred were here, they would have found the situation hilarious.
Sherry had managed to lock the door to Claire's room, but before she could inject the serum into Claire, she woke up. Claire could have gone outside, yet at this precise moment, she only had eyes for her. She had resorted to locking herself in the bathroom just to avoid the Claire's advances, although that didn't work out so hot.
"Come out Sherry," Claire seductively whispered, so that Sherry could hear her, "Come out and play, I can teach you some great games that no other boy can."
Sherry gulped. She felt like yelling at the world to allow Wesker to make up such a screwed up virus. It was bad enough that Wesker did this to her once, sending her into a world of confusion and she will be damned if she allowed this to happen again.
Yet she couldn't lock herself in here until the effects of the drug wore off. Despite Claire having raging hormones, she would eventually give up and terrorize the BSAA agents. If Steve found out about that, there would be a lot of dead bodies occupying this building.
Sherry knew that she had to let Claire have her way with her. That would be the only time that Claire would expose herself enough that it would allow Sherry to inject the serum into her body.
Sherry unlocked the door and allowed Claire to enter the bathroom. Claire took enough of the initiative to lock the door behind her so that Sherry could not escape. Sherry could only stand there and watch, until the opportunity to inject the serum came. And she would take that instant, to save both Claire and Steve pain from what this could do to their relationship.
She walked over to Claire and pulled her into a hug. Claire was surprised by this, yet she wasted no time in placing both of her hands on Sherry's ass, causing Sherry to cringe. Not letting this to last any longer, Sherry grabbed the serum and injected it into Claire's neck, causing Claire to collapse.
Sherry grabbed Claire and dragged her to her bed, and plopped her there. Sherry quickly ran out to the room but not before locking the door.
Shortly after Monica taught Steve the technique that he needed to use against Wesker, Steve returned to the real world. Of course at the same time, Nemesis and Enrico ran into his house.
"Steve… don't… contact…Monica," Enrico panted still trying to gasp for air, "She's…"
"She's Lana's sister," Steve replied, "I already contacted her and she agreed to help me with taking down Mr. X and Wesker."
"Well that's interesting," Nemesis replied.
"I would be careful with Monica though," Enrico stated after he caught his breath, "And besides you will be ready to take on Mr. X and Wesker in no time. There will be no chance that Wesker could defeat you unless of course Wesker had a weapon that he could use against you."
Steve's eyes widened with the mention of the so called weapon. "I can't believe how stupid I am!" Steve yelled at himself.
"Um, Steve," Enrico asked.
"Nemesis, we have to go back to Washington DC."
"Steve I'm not letting you visit your girlfriend…"
"This isn't about Claire, Nemesis. It is about Novichok."
"Explain," Nemesis asked showing concern in his voice that startled even Enrico.
Steve looked at Nemesis and explained, "In Washington DC, there is a cache of Novichok-5 and Novichok-6, located in the World Bank in Washington DC. During a mission to Russia, I had stolen this and handed over to Wesker. Wesker had left this in the Russian "Organization" base. When Wesker died, Sherry and I stole it and locked it away under our cover names. We need to get to it before Wesker does. There is no telling what he would do with the Novichok-5 and Novichok-6."
"There is no such thing as Novichok-6 unless…"
"Wesker has gotten into the business of chemical warfare," Steve finished, "
"Enrico get the S.T.A.R.S team in five minutes. We are going to Washington DC and extracting Novichok-6 before Wesker does."
Novichok- 5 is indeed a real chemical weapon that was created by the Soviet Union for military use. I'm not quite sure if Novichok-6 really does exsist and if it does, then it was probably one of the less potent agents that nobody mentions. For the sake of the story Nocichok-6 was developed by Wesker, and it's effects... well you'll have to find out. Again I can't stress how important it is for people to review this chapter, as it can effect when I'll update this story.
Next chapter will be epic. Steve, Nemesis, and the Dammed STARS members race to Washington DC, to extract Novichok-6 from the World Bank before Wesker gets his hands on it. Will Claire and Steve see each other in Washington DC? Will Jill and Chris' relationship change? Who will get to Novichok-6 first? And what exactly are the effects of Novichok-6? All will be answered in the next chapter of Handles.
