Jotaru walked up to the cockpit, his legs a bit shakey from all the action that had been going on. He opened the door, and smiled. "Any problems?"

Gunfire went for him. Danny hissed pulling back.

The bullets smacked into him, knocking him back to the floor for a moment. "Ow...I'm surprised at how much that still hurts..." he commented idly, while trying to stand back up.

"Keep them back." The pilot ordered. Danny bit her lip as she stumbled forward. "You know if we're infected you have it now." She said clenching her good hand. "The girls were hurt badly. I don't think your boss would like it if they got to you in peices."

"What is that thing?" One of them pointed at Jotaru.

He rolled his eyes, and managed to get up on his legs again. He remained silent, but leaned against the 'wall'.

Danny stepped closer to him and looked at the pilot and his crew.

"Jotaru... can you fly this plane?" She asked.

"What do you want?" One of the esoldiers asked not daring to fire.

Jotaru breathing was ragged, and his eyes were shut. "Why? Are you thinking something?" he asked, the words a bit uncertain, and not fitting together right.

"Because... They're going to find their guns useless." She said holding out her good hand. Her eyes flickered red for a moment and the guns melted. She groaned falling to her knees.

"Great...so I end up doing all the work, as usual, huh?" he said, groaning as he pulled himself back up, and the last of the bullet holes sealed up. "Fine by me."

The pilot yelped. "WHat the hell..."

Danny smiled. "Not hell." She held her side. "If you don't keep us on course and let your men get the others out of the truck... I will remove you."

Jotaru stood straighter now, and cracked his knuckles. "Can't I beat the crap out of them yet?"

"Not until the others are cared for. That tank isn't going to help the little one when she wakes."

"I am NOT pushing that thing...no way, no how."

"I think I melted it a little. Put the jerks to use tearing it open."

"You heard her, morons...get to work...." two of the men grumbled, but after another round of knuckle-cracking, they slowly, grudgingly, got to work.

Danny stayed where she was closing her eyes to keep control of the heat in her.

This isn't good... I need to get them out of there and we need to get out of here... Danny thought looking at the pilot. "Tell me where we're going?" She asked smiling sweetly. "Cooperate and I won't let my undead buddy have some fun with you."

"We're to drop you off at one of the labs... Umbrella finds you interesting. One of you is carrying a vaccine... And the child... She's one of the scientists..."

With help from the soldiers, Jotaru managed to get the tank opened up. Afterwards, he knocked the pair out, and stuck them in a corner with no weapons, keeping them for himself. "Hey! Everyone's fine back here!"

"Get them out of there. Esspecially the child. She wakes she might freak out again.

Sue moaned the gas starting to wear off. Danny sat right behind the two pilots watching them carefully. "Jotaru, would you be a doll and give me one of their guns? Just in case these two decide not to cooperate.."

"Just don't blow out a window or anything.." he said, jogging up and handing her one of the guns he'd confiscated. "Want me to wake the others?"

"Could you? I need to know where we're going. The kid's knows where we're going. Maybe we can figure out what we're going to do."

"Got it, chief." He saluted, then went to the back, and took the time to slap Claire across the face until she woke up..which was on the third slap anyway. The look she gave him was priceless, he thought, as he carefully shook Sue and Sherry awake. "Hey...wake up now.."

Sherry moaned slightly. "But it's too early for school..."

Sue woke and saw where she was. She whimpered curling up. "Want out..."

"It's okay..you can get out..but I need some help with the others..." he said, pointing at the still-fuming Claire, who had two very red cheeks, and not from blushing or lack of air.

Sherry looked at her. "Claire, come on... Help me with Mr. Carlos... Or you want to wake Chris?"

"I'd love to help, but...well..." She held up her hands, which were still cuffed together. "I'm still cuffed.."

Sue went over to Chris. "Mr Redfield... Please.... wake up..." She tried to shake him.

"Who had the lock pick?"

Chris made a noise, and grumbled in his sleep about dark towers. Claire put her hands over her mouth to stop her giggling.

Sue looked at her. "Is he crazy?"

Sherry tried to wake Carlos. "Come on... wake up..."

"No..he just read too much Stephen King growing up.." the teen giggled uncontrolably. "I thought he was over that."

Sue looked at him. "As long as he doesn't start up about clowns."

"No, mama, I didn't take the...where am I?" the hispanic blinked, and rubbed his eyes. "Aiiii...where are we? My head's all fuzzy.."

"Why? Afraid of clowns, Sue?" Claire said, smiling.

"Still in the craft." Sherry said calmly.

Sue nodded. "And dead things..."

"Damn....this has been one boring flight..." Carlos said, grinning lopsidedly.

"Hm... Mr. Ogami... where's Detective Draven?"

"Well, I think everyone's afraid of dead things....I'm afraid of horny boys trying to get into my..shorts.." the red/brown haired girl grinned.

Jotaru looked up. "Cockpit..."

Sue stayed sitting next to Chris. "Wake up Mr. Redfield..."

Danny checked the ammo in her gun. "How long until we get there?"

"An hour..."

Chris opened one eye. "You're not...where are we?" he said, rubbing his temples.

"Still in the dark place..." Sue said biting her lip.

"Oww...what the Hell was in that gas...my head is killing me..." Chris shook his head, trying to clear ir.

Sue shook her head. "I don't know..." She was whimpering slightly.

"Who had the lockpick... Unless someone has the keys for the cuffs."

"How are they Jotaru?"

"Who?" Jotaru asked, going over to the cuffs and breaking the chain with his hands.

"The others?" Danny asked. "Because if any of them are hurt I'll let you have fun."

"Oh, they're fine...except Claire....the way I woke her up...annoyed her."

Danny came to the back to check. "Hey, Sue, why don't you come here." She asked calmly. Sue nodded seeing her. "The rest of you can join us. I wouldn't mind the company.."

Claire was still fuming, though, and slapped Jotaru across the face four times. "THAT is for 'waking me up,' jerk," she hissed, getting out. Jotaru was left with a slight red cheek, and a sour expression on his face. "Can we let them have her...just this once?" he asked.

Danny shook her head taking the youngster up to the front. "Now Sue... This better for you?" She asked worried. The girl nodded. Danny nodded then looked at the pilots again. "Okay, we're going to make a little change int flight plans. Sue... Where do you think we should land?"

Sue bit her lip. "I... I don't know..."

 

Back in Racoon Leon stopped with Ada. "You okay?"

"Yes, I'm fine...what do you think happened to the others?" she asked, brushing some of her short hair away from her eyes. "Do you think they're still alive or..."

"I think they'd need them alive..." Leon answered.

Nicholai stepped out from behind some debris, and made his way outside to the street. Looking around, he spotted Jill, and went over to check her. "Miss Valentine? Are you alright?"

She leaned agaisnt the wall holding her side. "Yeah... They took Chris.."

"That is troublesome news...do you know if they took anyone else?" the Russian looked pensive.

"I don't know... I was kind of out of it..." She said still moaning.

"I'll go with you..."
