Kei began down the hall illuminated by red light. But upon opening the door, she caught a glimpse of a slow lumbering creature, and quickly shut it. "Let's not..." She said to Ryan with a half-hearted smile, hoping he'd talk to her. But she frowned seeing he did and went back to try the other hall. She peeked inside that door. It was surprisingly colder in here, but she could see no creatures in this one, so she signaled Ryan to follow her. The first door she saw was locked, so she explored a bit more. The hallway seemed but split with another, seeing as a shutter was down. But at the other end of the room were double doors...somewhat frozen. Despite that, it still opened, and Kei looked around. Her boots were crushing newly forming ice with each step, and around the corner was a robotic arm...and attached to it's controls, a frozen scientist. She pushed his body out of the way, and began to fiddle with the controls. It seemed he was making something but didn't get to finish. A file was next to him covered in light slush. She brushed it off and skimmed through it. "Argonic acid, eh..." Looks like he was going to make something to combat the monsters here. Without looking away from the files, she controlled the arm. It lifted several different chemical vials into a small chamber, where they would mix, and be poured into the waiting bottles. The chamber hummed and a few moments later, the bottles were filled with a clear liquid.
Kei put the file down, collected the bottles, and petted the robotic arm. She then handed the bottles to Ryan. "If you're not going to talk to me, then hold these for me." She spited, and left the room, waiting for him beside the doors.

As Kei played with the random stuff that could possibly explode and engulf the two of them in flames, Ryan examined the lever the dead man was holding. Reading the warning sign on it he began to mumble. "Leaving this at full could just freeze a good portion of the facility..." He acted as if he were speaking to himself but he was really letting her know that. He then firmly grasped the handle and pulled without much luck, the thing was frozen in place. He shrugged and shook his head then when he turned around Kei shoved some bottles of what seemed to be chemicles he didn't feel like spilling on himself, but he took them despite that. He then proceeded to where she was, quietly.

Kei quickly remembered that the first door she saw was locked electronically, and that a key reader was next to the door. She ran back into the room, and fished around the frozen scientist's body. "Got it!" She branished his authorization card. "Thank you, Jeoff Boe." She said aloud, saying the his name. She ran back out the hall past Ryan. There must have been something important in this room to be electronically locked. Maybe an armory. She fed the card to reader, which hummed for a moment, and then beeped. She could hear a lock releasing, and slowly opened the door. She was surprised to see, a woman standing there. (You take over now, Kel-Kel.)

Ryan entered after Kei and recognized the woman at once. Unfortunately, she had her gun up first. "Two more people!?" She said annoyedly, gun aimed up high in one hand, the other have a rolled up file. "Who are you two? Spies?" She asked with a deep glare. Ryan spoke up. "You must be Annette. Calm down, We're not looking for a fight." Annette seemed chuckle. "You lie!" She said as her eyes quickly began to inspect him thoroughly, a bulge in his pocket. (Sounds wrong but oh well.) "What's in your pocket?" She asked demandingly. Ryan's eyes turned from calm to apprehensive as he quickly shot up his shotgun in a flash. Annette wasn't expecting this. It was now a stalemate but Ryan knew he had an upper hand. "We both can shoot now, however, I assure you, I have a better chance of living.. you have no chance." He said with a snake-like tongue. "Your handgun bullet is liveable, but a blast from a shotgun close range will kill you instantly." She glared back. "Your voice seems familiar..." She said but she had trouble remembering. Ryan grinned. "There's two ways that this can go down, you can kill us, dying yourself, or we could let you past us so you can get to your daughter who is on this floor's security room." The woman's eyes widened. "Sherry!?..." She seemed to be thinking hard but in the end began strafing to the left as Ryan urged Kei to shift to the right. Before long Annette was by the door, and within seconds she was gone. Ryan gave a sigh of relief. He gave a glance to Kei and hoped she wouldn't ask about what was in his pocket.

"No more secrets." Kei quickly shot to Ryan. "Break that vow of silence to me and tell me what's in that pocket. I don't want to pull a gun out on you."

Ryan glared at Kei. "What does it matter? I'm helping you survive, you're helping me survive. So what does it matter to you?" He growled. He had to bring in that sample, but if Hunk survived they're probably already content, but why not have more of the sample? After all, making prototypes weren't as easy as spelling out your a b c's.

"That's exactly it! You're hiding something from me! I originally assumed it something that is either going to help us in the long run or something that will make you very rich. But that woman's reaction made me think otherwise. I now think it is something very dangerous." She quickly searched the room with her eyes for a quick place for cover, in case he snapped with the shotgun.

Ryan let out a laugh. "What are you going to do? Fight me? Kill me? Then what? You don't know how to get around this place alone. If you kill me you kill yourself." He shrugged his shoulders. "Now calm down and shut up. I'm not gonna leave knowing my comrade's deaths were in vein. Now lets continue, unless you'd rather see this through now?" He said as he slowly pointed the shotgun at her.

Staring at the shotgun, Kei backed off. Though wearing a Kevlar vest, a shotgun blast from that range would tear right through it. She decided to play defensively anyway, and raised the SMG in return, knowing he had no body armor. "You showed me the map already...and I'm sure I can access the mainframes from the many computers in this facility. I know the best escape route. Killing you would be no hindrance to me." Inching towards a table she could easily over turn, she continued. "I was right about you Umbrella soldiers. You can always put on a friendly act, but you're all cold murderous monsters underneath, every one of you!"

Ryan smirked again. "Cold and murderous? Well.. Spending most your life training on an island will do that to people." He said straight forwardly. "Now, I'm giving you one last chance. Drop it and lets get out of here." He said his eyes not even flinching to her SMG. He knew he had a job to do, yet there was always mishaps.

"Why can't you tell me what it is? Is it just that dangerous? Why don't you just show me what it is?" She said that last part with a weak smile. "Then I'll take everything I said back, and cooperate completely with you." She had the advantage of firearms this time. She was not as close in the effective range of Ryan's shotgun as he was in her SMG.

Ryan smirked. "Ok.. I'll tell you. Then we're both going to leave through that door... Then we're going to escape. Nothing else will be said about it." Ryan basically ordered. "Is it dangerous? Yes.. Very.. What's in my pocket is the same virus Birkin injected himself with. Thus making that gigantic monster we saw in the tram." He smirked again and lowered the shotgun. "Are you satisfied?"

"That's it? You were willing to shoot me just for something that simple to say? Well, fine. A deal is a deal." She lowered her weapon as well and left her potential cover. "Alright. Get us out of here."

Ryan shrugged then walked out of the room, waiting for her to follow. It wasn't as simple as letting her know. She might try something, try to get rid of it before it is capable of causing another catastrophe like what happened to Raccoon City. He still needed her so he wouldn't do anything. Ryan then began towards the main shaft, when he entered he found Annette dead on the floor, she seemed to have been crushed by something, that probably explains the destroyed wreckage in the hall they just left. There was also a handgun on the floor, it was empty but it could possibly be used by Kei as a backup if they were to find ammo for it. "What do you think happened?" Ryan asked looking at the bit of blood away from Annette as if someone has gotten shot.

"Well it's obvious this woman was crushed to death...and I don't see any gunshot wounds on her...something tells me there was some stand off here. And whoever was shot, most likely, stumbled over the railing..." She faced Ryan again. "I don't think we should worry on this much. Let's leave...please?"
