Hammer's face went grim as he looked down on the screen.The heartbeats of all of his men were shown,two had jut flat lined.Which meant at least Reaper was still quite alive.He had four men left with which to work,he also had a .50 caliber machine gun attached to the APC...so it evened out a bit.Hammer was not about to give up this research information,he would fight for it.He popped a map of the underground facilities onto his screen and found the exit that would most likely be used since ground level was currently over run.He highlighted the railway and pushed it onto the drivers' screens,they started the vehicle up and put it into motion.
Charles grabbed for the radio once again and attempted to get through the same channel as before,to find it was no longer being used.The b*tch turned her radio off.Only one other option,Reaper.He found his way through to her channel,which was under the same block that was activated before,and began his rant.
"Hello Artemis.This is Doctor Charles Hammer.You probably don't know who I am,and your companion probably didn't mention my name to you.However,the fact that your still alive tells me she either attempted to get rid of you and failed...or she didn't try at all.One way or the other I am disappointed.All of the information that was on the computer labs was extracted by you or her,I want this information.You have two choices.
One choice would be to give me whatever device this information was placed on,and I will let you live.The other choice is my men kill you and I take the device...There might be more than one way out of these facilities,but there are only so many reachable with the time you have and they aren't very far from each other.You are on foot and wont make it very far,if you attempt to run we will catch you and terminate you and your new friend if she is still in fact alive.Make this easy Reaper.I could even find a place for you at Tricell...Umbrella is no longer a player on the world chessboard.Make the right choice."
Hammer held the radio and awaited her response.

((Sorry it's short and took so long. Really really sick))
Artimes nodded toward Joanna as she followed her out into the hallway. “My sister doesn’t know about me, and I highly doubt that she would agree with me helping her. If you’re going to help her it will have to be without me. I killed the two people she called her mother and father, and then one she called her sister. I highly doubt that if she was told about me it would be anything good,” she pointed out.
When Charles came over her radio she held up her hand to Joanna in order to keep her quite. She grinned slightly as she put her hand up to the ear piece. “Well Dr. Hammer if you know me very well you would know that I would have dispatched the Agent once my task was done. Though I have to admit for someone looking to bargain with this USB drive you don’t seem too friendly. Shoot before you ask questions?” She motioned Joanna down the hall toward the railway. “An I’m looking to barter . . . what is it that you’re seeking besides the drive and what guarantee do I have that you won’t shoot before I exit?”

As she went towards the railway Joanna listenned in on Artemis and Hammer's conversation. as soon as she had heard his voice Joanna quickly turned on her radio and turned it to Artemis's frequency to listen in.
As she listenned in Joanna processed what Artemis said about her sister, and was ****ed. No matter what her sister thought of her she should still try and save her, thats what older siblings should do. It wasnt as if she was an emotionless husk.
She continued towards the railway, listenning in.
((will wait for you two to finish the conversation before I jump back in. and dont apologise if your sick Reaper, just get better as soon as possible.))

Hammer grinned at the woman's response.She had good sense,probably wouldn't be lasting her much longer however.
"I don't have any questions to ask.I know all I want to know,except for the information on that USB.As for your safety,you don't need to worry I am a man of my word and i despise any one who would shoot someone in the back.I am also a little lazy,and retrieving the device from a dead body is just too much work.If you comply,I would have no reason to shoot you...however i can not speak for the other agent's safety.She has become a liability."
Hammer stopped for a moment and thought about what else he could want.
"Your services are sounding better and better,Tricell is becoming the new world power...and we have enemies.I have enemies...you as a personal...assassin shall we say,would get quite a lot done in a short amount of time.I don't know how much time we have before this place is leveled but i would suggest you make up your mind."

Artimes nodded to herself slightly. “The other agent that you’re speaking of has been dealt with. How do you think I’ve even obtained the USB? Do you really think a BSA Agent would willingly give me this device?” She continued to follow Joanna toward the railway stopping at the tracks that led out of the facility. “I’m making my way toward the railway exit. I expect you to keep your word.” With that she broke communication with Hammonds, but left her radio on. She looked at Joanna as they climbed onto the train. “I expect with that rifle that you’ve got a good aim?” She turned the train on allowing it to move toward their exit. “While I take point and supposably do this deal I need you to stay back in the shadows to and pick of any significant threats. Don’t worry about me getting shot. I will be fine as long as they’re not armor piercing rounds.” She patted her chest plate on her armor. “It’s more than just Kevlar,” she grinned. “It’s also why the BSAA had so much trouble trying to take me down. This armor makes me a walking tank, as my father says.”

Joanna smiled at Artemises remark, and her 'co-workers' stupidity. "Then make sure you keep your head down sweetheart, Ill protect you from the big bad corporation." she reached into one of her pockets and gave Artemis a USB. "This is the Trojan horse you'll be giving them. It has a program that wipes all data from what ever its inserted into as well as sends it all to BSAA headquarters." when she gave Joanna a stunned look, she shrugged. "When you are raised by mercenaries you learn quite alot of things. Before I was old enough to actually join their ranks I did support work for them. Hacking and Information gathering was one of those things."
She started going through her ammo and equipment, checking and rechecking everything. She left her grenade launcher empty so she could choose what to put in after seeing the situation. She looked back at Artemis, and after a few seconds she reached into another pocket and gave her a card with her contact number on it. "If after we get out of this mess we part ways, call me if you ever need help with something. I meant what I said Artemis, its your choice if you want to come with me or not. I wont try to stop or force you. Though I would like the location of your sister, how old is she anyway?"

Artimes looked back at Joanna before looking at the area around them. “She’s nineteen and the last time I checked she should be attending Cornell University in Ithaca New York.” She smiled a bit before she turned around and sat down on a bench seat. “She wants to become a Veterinarian. I’m proud of her for that. Not wanting to follow along in her adopted parents footsteps and work for either Umbrella or Tricell. Her name is Madisyn McCade.” She looked up at Joanna. “I don’t want her to know about this underworld. If all she knows it’s what’s on the news I’m happy about that.”
She stood up just as the train shook violently. Cursing silently as she looked around the area. “Forgot about the last two BOW’s that were loose.” Though the creature she was expecting was the one that had jumped out into this area after the soldiers wasn’t the one that busted through the front window of the train. He stood over eight feet tall with the body of a human, and the head of a Doberman. It gave reality to the mythological creature Anubis. Before either one of them could have a chance to react the creature charged forward slamming into both of them before wrapping its hands around their necks, and throwing them down the train.
Hitting the wall hard Artimes struggled back to her feet. “I hate dogs,” she growled as she pulled her weapon and started firing at the creature. The bullets were doing nothing but bouncing off its body. She dropped the empty clip from her weapon, but before she could change it the creature struck her hard into the chest knocking her into the back wall. She cried out as the Anubis creature wrapped its massive hand around her face and threw her back up the train. She hit the ground hard and slid to a stop against one of the bench seats.
Laying there she could feel the coppery taste in her mouth, but the pain was shortly forgotten as her radio came to life. “I hope you’re having fun with our new experiment.” Kyle’s voice rang through loud and clear.
“Bastard . . . what are you up to?”
“I made a mistake twice leaving our best operatives alive. So I had to create one in order to get rid of them both. I’ll let you guess. I’m not making that mistake again. You are very loyal I will give you that, but I can’t leave you alive and risk you turning into a danger to the company.”
Artimes grinned as she used the chair to help her to her feet. “Then you better come down here and make sure my ass is dead, because I will be hunting you down,”
“Good by my Reaper.”
She cursed as she looked up at the creature. It seemed to be paying her no mind but going after Joanna.

Joanna came to just as Kyle came on the Radio and watched Anubis come towards her. Quickly she she started shooting while she opened her bag. Before she reached into it however, The BOW grabbed her neck and lifted her up. seeing that its face was infront of her stomach she quickly pulled a wire on her belt, thinking 'this is gonna hurt'. A small claymore attached to her armor went off, launching a volley of steel ballbearings into the creatures eyes and mouth, causing it to drop Joanna and roar in pain. Quickly Joanna grabbed several breaching charges from her bag and launched herself between the BOWs legs, sprinting to the front wall of the carriage. Quickly attaching the charges and arming them she turned around just as the BOW started charging her. she waited until he was close enough before rolling away, and detonated the charges. The charges blew a big hole in the front of the carriage, and Anubis, going too fast to stop in time, charged right through the hole and off the train. The train lurched slightly as the BOW went under its tracks, as well as a squelch sounding throughout the tunnel.
Joanna grabbed her her bag and walked slowly towards Artemis, dropping into the seat next to her. Quickly running a hand under her armor she surmised that besides being sore like hell and having a huge bruise later, the small claymore hadnt caused any internal injuries. thankfully her armor had dissapated the kinetic force of the claymores recoil enough. Joanna looked over at Artemis, "How long till this ride ends?"

Hammer placed the radio down and looked through the front window of the APC.They were heading down a dirt road along side a wall.They were nearing the train tunnels opening,and saw on either side of the track was pretty thick and high bushes.Good places to hide,he looked at the mobile men he had left.
"I want you two to get into positions in those bushes,one on each side.If she tries anything I want you two to take her out.In fact,if she doesn't accept my offer to join us then kill her anyway...no loose ends.Aim for the head gentlemen."
He turned to the one of the drivers and got his attention.
"I'm going out there to get the USB.I want you on the fifty cal,if she manages to take either of them out or even draws on me I want you to blow her to hell.Understand?
Yes doctor,I understand."The man replied.
The APC stopped about fifty feet from the mouth of the tunnel,far enough away for the train to stop in time.The driver was still inside however if he needed to move it.The two men took their positions and the other got on the machine gun.Hammer adjusted himself and exited the back hatch,walking to the front of the vehicle and waited.Hearing the train near.

Artiment let out a heavy sigh as she leaned forward, and as if to answer Joanna’s question the train finally pulled to a stop. “I hate dogs,” she said as she stood up with the help of the chair. She looked around before following Joanna off the train and toward the exit door that lead into a long hallway. She continued to lead Joanna just down the dark corridor stopping just shy of the door. “Stay low and stay to the shadows.” She waited until Joanna was situated before slowly opening the door to make sure that the light wouldn’t give away her position. She looked up to see Hammer waiting in the woods and curse slightly to the thick foliage that was surrounding the door.
“What guarantee to my safety do I have before I even come any further out of this doorway?” she asked as she held up the USB. She looked around picking out the best possible areas for attacks, and without a definite answer on how many soldiers he had with him she had to prepare for the worse.

Looking through the sights of her M6, Joanna examined the area she could see through the door. 'High and thick foliage on either side and a heavy machinegun totting APC in front,' she looked at the brush on either side, searching for a reflection. sure enough, she soon found 2 reflections, one on either side. Sloppy, like the two dead ones down in the lab. If they were profesionals they wouldnt have gloated like that, just quickly kill her and be done. She would have had something covering the front of the scopes to negate any glint or light reflection that might give away her position. as it were she now had an estimate of enemy numbers. the APC if front could tightly house ten men including the drivers if there was no equipment. but considering it was TRICELL and the man in charge was a scientist they should only be looking at two drivers, a bodyguard team and the scientist, and since there wasnt anyone near the scientist in front of the APC there was probably only seven in total. and since two of them bought it down in the labs, there should only be five outside. She looked back at Dr Hammer. He didnt seem like much but she knew better than to under estimate people. He was definitely capable of fighting, but seemed more to prefer to manipulate and use others to do the dirty work for him. she slowed her breathing, waiting.

Hammer was a little offended at the question,or at least worked his face to look as such.He really hadn't planned on harming her unless she refused him...just like in high school.
"My dear,I am a man of my word.That might not mean much to you seeing as how you work with Umbrella's remnants and are even making this trade off.However,you don't have much of a choice Reaper.You have to come out at some point,and even if that train can go farther away you wont get it started and moving before this cannon rips through that door and you..."Hammer stopped to clear his throat and let his words settle.
"I don't want that to happen,you are the best at what you do and it would be a shame for this world to lose your talents.If my word does not count for anything on your safety,then let my admiration count.Now if you would please."Hammer finished and held his hand out,his other hand hovering over a false pocket that allowed for easy access to the machine pistol he had there should his men manage to fowl up.

Artiment held her hand up as she looked around and then back at Hammer. “You must forgive me if I don’t trust you. It seems that people are in a good habit of betraying me lately,” she pointed out. She stepped out of the doorway with the USB in hand and made her way over to Hammer. She looked to the side and to one set of the bushes that hid one of his soldiers. She smiled before looking back to him. “You really need to tell your men to learn how to hide,” she pointed out. She stopped just a few feet in front of him holding out the USB drive. “What happens after this? You get what you want, and what do I get in return?”

Joanna watch hammer as he placed his hand over his false pocket, no doubt holding a machine pistol fron the bulge size. 'So he's armed and good with it it seems, probably incase his guards screw up.' she watched him and the other gunmen while Artemis walked towards Hammer, grinning at her comment. she kept her breath slow as she waited. But then she heard a loud roar from behind her. she turned her head to see the BOW she left in the tunnel with the 2 mercenaries coming up the tunnel at a frightening speed, and its little eyes were on her. so she had a choice, stay here and start shooting at it and likely be torn to shreds, or run out the door guns blazing and hope for the best. She chose the 2nd option. Heading for the open door at a dead sprint, she quickly tossed a flashbang out the door and proceeded to drill a hole in the head of the guy on the turret. As the Flashbang went off, she quickly closed her eyes so she wouldnt be blinded temporarily. as soon as she opened her eyes she shot the mercenary in the left hand bush and then the one on the right, sprinting towards the APC. It was at that moment that the 2nd driver got onto the 50cal and the BOW came through the door.

Artiment looked back almost shocked to see Joanna making her way out firing as she did, but the creature that followed after her told the reason why. The creature wasn't the only problem as the sound echoed through the air as the lab exploded. Artiment cursed slightly as she looked bach at Hammer, but he was the least of their problems. She turned grabbing Joanna by the wrist and pulling her off into the woods. The ground shook violently under their feet as they moved through the trees. Artiment's radio came to life as they topped the hill in time to see part of the ground starting to give way in the park.
"It seems that you're still alive," Kyle's voice echoed over her ear piece. "It seems that I have left you alive for far to long."
"An what are you going to do about it."
"I can do quite a bit to you and your little companion right now."
Artiment growled as she looked around the forest. "Where are you?"
The tree beside her splintered as a silent bullet struck it causing wood to splinter. Before she could move toward Joanna she felt the bullet hit her square in the chest knocking her off her feet. She gasped heavily as she felt the pain radiate through her chest as she rolled to her side.
"Just a warning shot. I want to see you up close before I end it." With that Kyle cut the link.
She laid her head on the ground as she looked up at Joanna. "Fine," she said with a heavy breath. "What do I need to do in order to protect my little sister?"
