Carlos was obviously glad to see him. “No, I’m…

… we’re both fine, just a little banged up. The gas station caught fire and blew. Jill blacked out for a minute or two, but she’s…”

Carlos abruptly cleared his throat, nodding toward the woman. “Uh, Jill Valentine, this is Sergeant Nicholai Ginovaef, U.B.C.S.”

“Nicholai, please,” he offered, and she stared at him, her expression unreadable. It seemed that Ms. Valentine wasn’t interested in making friends. That pleased him, though he wasn’t sure why. She carried a .357 revolver and had what looked like a 9mm tucked into the waistband of an extremely snug skirt.

“We are indebted to you for telling Carlos about the trolley. You’re with the police?” Nicholai asked.

Jill’s gaze was fixed on his, and there was no mistaking the tone of challenge in her response. “The police are dead. I’m with the S.T.A.R.S., Special Tactics and Rescue Squad.”

Well, well, how ironic. I wonder if she’s encountered Umbrella’s little surprise yet… If she had, she probably wouldn’t be standing in front of him; unless it was malfunctioning, a Tyrant could break a full-grown man in half without exerting even a quarter of its strength. Someone like Jill Valentine didn’t stand a chance against something even more advanced, Umbrella’s new toy that had been scheduled to appear.

Nicholai was pleased with the strange coincidence of meeting a S.T.A.R.S. member; it made him feel like everything was in order, that connections in his mind were reflected in the world around him…

“How’s Mikhail?”

Nicholai looked away from Jill’s unwavering stare to answer Carlos, not wanting to seem combative. “Not very well, I’m afraid. We should leave as soon as possible. Did you find anything useful? Mikhail said you were going to get repair equipment.”

“It’s all gone, burned up,” Carlos said. “I guess we’ll have to keep…”

“Did you get your explosives?” Jill interrupted, still watching him carefully. “Where were they?”

Not openly hostile, but very close; not surprising, considering. The inside line on the S.T.A.R.S. was that they had uncovered information about Umbrella’s real research at the Spencer estate lab. They’d been discredited later, of course, but Umbrella had been trying to get rid of them ever since.

If they’re all as suspicious as this one, it’s no wonder Umbrella hasn ‘t succeeded.

“There weren’t any explosives,” he said slowly, abruptly deciding to push her a little, see how forth-right she was. “All I found were empty boxes. Ms.

Valentine, is something bothering you? You seem … tense.”

He deliberately shot a sharp glance at Carlos, as if angry that he’d brought the mistrustful woman along.

Carlos flushed and quickly spoke up, trying to redirect the conversation.

“I think we’re all on edge, but the important thing right now is Mikhail. We’ve got to get him out of here.”

Nicholai held Jill’s gaze a beat longer, then nodded and turned his attention to Carlos. “Agreed. If you can come up with a cable, I’ll see what I can do about a fuse - there’s a power station not too far from here, I’ll look there. Back at the garage where we found Mikhail, I’m sure I saw battery cables, you should try there.
