Akira turned around to address the girl who chose to follow after him, still walking backwards carefully.

"I have no intent to kill such an important man. That'd just land me in jail for the rest of my life. I just want to return the favor, or at least confront him about it. If there is a man of pride here it would be him. Sitting in his office at the top of Umbrella and judging others... he never even met me face to face and had the gall to deem me "mentally unstable"?! After I worked past all the shit in my life. It infuriates me!"

Completely forgetting to return his name to her, he began to follow her outstretched finger, stopping as well. Once turned fully around he saw his target, and right after getting all riled up as well, which wasn't really the best combination possible. Akira couldn't help but grin at his luck, and how the title of devil seemed so perfect for Ryan, but his face quickly changed to a frown when Ryan ran off.

"Running?!"

Akira immediately gave chase, even pushing Jason from his path and easily swerving around to mimic Ryan's performance in dodging the bystanders. While there was a good chance the Umbrella guards saw this, they had just been given a sudden order by Ryan himself and Akira was suprisingly fast and nimble.

Albus can be seen walking around the expo looking for something to do while 3 other boys follow trying not to get lost in the crowd. "He boss this is pretty boring." One of the teens said where Albus reply's. "I don't care there is something worth while here we just need to find it."

"So you know Ryan well, because I have a friend who used to work for him."said Hayden looking at Yuna.

"i see..." Satomi stood quietly as she thought about what Akira said and smiled thinking about how funny it is that some people think that the Umbrella are an evil corporation while others think that they are some sort of a saints, in the end, Satomi doesn't like to judge peoples as evil or good because she's the kind of person who follows the 'don't judge a book by it's cover' thing. so she doesn't really consider the Umbrella as enemies or comrades of the society, she merely thinks of them as an interesting people...
Satomi realizes that the CEO is slipping through the crowds, it seemed like he had emergency at hand"oho~ i wonder what's wrong with mister umbrella~?" she asked mockingly while she followed Akira who was running after the CEO"an adventure every now and then won't hurt i guess" she whispered to her self as she too, running, not knowing that her day will get more and more...fun

Jason waved his hands in the air in front of him "Please, Miss Syrai. I didn't mean any disrespect from that statement. You just don't exactly look the part of someone with combat and security training." He said this pointing to her maid outfit.

Ryan put his hand on his shoulder, and Jason was a bit surprised by what he heard. He wanted to get to know them? That was why he wanted them to come along rather than for protection? This didn't make any sense to Jason, especially since he wasn't exactly high up on the employment ladder at Umbrella. He wasn't too surprised about Ryan shrugging off protection though. Just off the little he saw of him, Jason could tell that he was someone who wasn't really afraid of danger.

As Ryan took off, Jason quickly followed after him. He slipped through the crowd and reached the foot paths, but he was suddenly knocked to the side by someone else that was running in the same direction. When he caught is footing and looked ahead, he saw the same guy that ran into him earlier. He was causing trouble once again, and judging by his actions, he was going after Ryan Genesis even though he was told not to. The other guards were busy, he could see. He would have to do something about this himself.

Jason unholstered one of his pistols and ran after Ryan and the man. He had training both in long distance and short running due to his work and he quickly caught up behind the man. He raised his pistol, still running behind him. "Sir, I am going to have to order you to stop going any further. I warned you already that there would be consequences for going after Mr. Ryan Genesis. Don't make me use force."

Jason saw Ryan heading toward a car up ahead. That must be their ride to the base. He needed to get this guy out of their hair as soon as possible.

What Jason didn't realize is that her maid outfit was made to have easy movement if in case she ever needs to bring out a different side to her. It's just she doesn't have a lot of opportunity to do so and going off from what Ryan explained, she's probably just going for the ride. And it wasn't the first time she got that kind of impression or any other ones, she somewhat became used to it. "It's alright. I get that a lot...." Her reply was cut off short. By the time she looked up at Jason again, both him and Ryan dash through the crowd already. It seems Ryan's subtle cue wasn't big enough to grab Syrai's attention until they were gone.

She ran after them, following their path. Since they were paving a way already for her with the crowd spreading out to let them through, it was easy catching up. From a distance, she saw Jason and someone else running into each other and not before long, chasing after him. Who could this person be that's more important that following the CEO? She sprint towards them seeing as Ryan was much farther away now, if they are any more occupied, both of them will lose track of where Ryan is heading. He never even state where they were heading to after all.

Swiftly she managed to run passed both of them, Jason and the guy who bumped into him. In an effort to make them reach where Ryan was without anymore interruption, she grabbed the guy (Akira) whose now just right behind her, thinking it is certainly Jason, by the hand and literally pulls him to run faster. He probably tripped over a few times but she didn't care for any of it, all that mattered was catching up to Ryan before he leaves them behind.

She couldn't believe how quick Ryan was but then again, he did get the upper hand by initiating it. "Mr. CEO no wonder others have a hard time finding you. You're pretty fast." Syrai said once both of them reached the main entrance of the place. She looked backed at the person she thought was Jason and surprised herself, it wasn't. She swung her arm away letting go of his. It happened to be the guy who continually causes problems for Jason and her. "How did this even happen?" She blurted out with confusion. In her mind, it really was Jason but maybe she wasn't looking careful enough to have bring him instead.

Ryan knew what was going on behind him because he took a quick glance once he heard the commotion, he sighed a little and kept going he wasn't going to stop and he had stated what would happen if they couldn't keep up and although this would seem harass to other it was Ryan's way of testing someone If they really wanted the Job he had Offered them then They should prove it.

Ryan Reached the Car and Stopped it was a Luxury Car Black Shiny Tinted Windows and a Little longer then most however it wasn't as Long as a Limo, He Frowned at this he knew this would happen however this would have to do for now, normally he would Kick up a Fuss about how the Car was Too Flashy and he didn't like it but now was not the time to complain with everything that was going on and With Word on what was Happening it seemed the Base wasn't going to last much longer.

"Hahaha... Thank you, I do try to Keep in shape."

This was an understatement Ryan Trained for 3 Hours every day and had done so ever since he was 16, he knew that you couldn't just be Smart you had to be able to Move and Lift your own weight as well.

"In you go."

As Ryan said this the Door to the Car was Opened and he had Picked up Syrai By the Hips and put her in the Car with what seemed to be no effort at all he motioned for her to go into the car more to make Room for others.

Inside the car was Much like a Limo only with Less Space there was a Large U Shaped Seat which lined Most of the Car, there was a small square table in the Middle which had a Phone on it as well as it seemed to Double as a Mini Bar And although the car was Smaller then A Limo it still had enough space to Fit in 4-5 People in it.

"Now.... what can I Do for you> and please make it Quick, I have an Urgent matter that I must attend."

He Turned to Face The person who Syrai had mistakenly Pulled along with her and as Jason arrived at the Car he made a motion for him to get inside the Car and wait for him.

as Satomi was running after the CEO and Akira, it seemed like that Akira was pulled by the Umbrella maid? Satomi thought it's not time to worry about that so she just kept running, but when she reached somewhere near the CEO's car, she hidden herself within the crowd so that they won't notice her, but she tried to be as close as possible to hear their conversation, because it seemed like Akira is being questioned by the CEO himself"If i could at less know where they are going, i can get a taxi or something to follow them" she thought to herself as she was trying not to ruin her cover as much as possible

Gun! Maid! CEO!

Whether running after his target without warning was the best choice or not, Akira still wasn't sure. In just a few seconds he was threatened at gunpoint, pulled along by that lovely girl, although he almost tripped the whole way, and finally planted straight in front of the man he was looking for, questioned as the girl pulled away, leaving Akira standing there in confusion with a slight red shade on his cheeks. This really was the moment he had been waiting for, his chance to let out all his agression and anger... but his mind was in too much of a jumble to find any of the speeches recited in his head. For a while he stared blankly at Ryan, who seemed to hold a odd charisma and a hidden intimidation, some secret power Akira couldn't even comprehend.

"I don't like you..."

Jason watched as Syrai pulled the other guy ahead towards the car. He wondered what she was doing. He ran to catch up, and found Ryan confronting the man. It looked as though Syrai was already in the car. Ryan motioned for Jason to get in as well. He didn’t want to leave without taking care of their unwanted guest, but he figured it was best to do as he was told. The last thing Jason wanted to do was to get on his boss’ bad side. Without a word, he holstered his gun and walked towards the car. He gave one last long look at the man who had caused him so much trouble that night, then he ducked down and went into the car. He sat down next to Syrai. The car felt quite spacious. There was what seemed to be a minibar inside, but Jason wasn’t interested in taking anything from there. He still considered himself ‘on the clock’. Jason was still wondering what was happening that they needed to rush to the base.

Her squinted expression rolled over to Ryan's body. Eying him slightly as he answered her in the lying tone. She felt he was being modest in her presence only or maybe he was really like that. Her thoughts however wasn't much since clothing is such a misleading way when defining a body. Even she fell victim to it from Jason's opinion before, possibly.

"Well I'm sure you have to in your line of work."

She said jokingly while having no idea why she chose those exact words since meeting him and his title, she knows his work was purely just research and hiding from others. Her little chuckled died down to nothing as she stared intently at the car door being mysteriously opened before her.

She felt a small squeeze on her waist. It was Ryan picking her up without even informing her. Surprised and unresponsive, she froze like a statue staring straight at him. Once in the car, she had no idea what happened but shrugged it off and did as she was told.

With the tinted windows, it was pretty dark. There was a few lining of lights that ran along the sides of the car to give more lighting to the place. A soft but very low music played in the background and it smelled like new leather interior.

Jason's figure shadowed into the car and as he took a seat, she feel obligated to say something for pulling a stunt like that. Maybe now he was under the impression she was helping the man escaped, either way, being quiet about it wasn't going to work out.

"Hey, sorry about what just happened. I mixed you both up and accidentally grabbed that guy's hand thinking he was you. It wasn't going to be a good turnout if we lost the CEO again."

* An ominous cloud covers the sky above, trash and food was thrown into the air by the wind the ''cloud'' had produced. The cloudy mass then opens and a humanoid figure drops from the sky and onto the stage, began to gather around the stage, taking pictures as the being that appeared before them began to speak.*

Humans at last the time of change has come.....

* The Illuminati's brief sentence brought about a shimmer of excitement all the people in the crowd cheered believing that a play or concert of some sort was about to begin as the crowd cheered helicopters and armed vehicles traveled towards the city where a large pillar of smoke replaced a building where the secret umbrella base remained.*

In sometime your infected or ''zombies'' will descend upon this very location swarms of infected will attack all living things within the vicinity and eventually the world all those present here will be given a choice, join my allegiance or be at the mercy of the undead hordes.

* The Illuminati's announcement could be heard and seen on every device in the world, being broadcasted live the ratings went off the charts but many were discouraged from the Illuminati's words where as others simply took the announcement with less seriousness than others.*

Taken aback by the surprising events in the sky, Akira backed up a bit, then saw the figure drop. He however, could not hear much and there were no tv's near him, so let's just say I dont have much to post.

"when you say join your 'allegiance' do you possiabley mean that we have to become 'zombies' too? And what is your 'allegiance' anyway I wonder.." she said to herself not expecting the Illuminati or anyone else to hear her, Satomi just said that after she saw the announcement on her laptop, she noticed that something was aired in almost all devises around her, because the announcement and the sudden change in weather could be connected somehow, but Satomi didn't expect what is coming next at all...

Jason quickly got out of the vehicle as the situation shaped around them. He saw the smoke rising from the area the umbrella hq once stood. Something had happened in there. It must have been what ryan was trying to hurry to, but it looks like they were too late. even though he wasn't near the stage, he overheard the strange humanoid figure's words through his earpiece. He didn't like what he had heard. He reached to his his lower back and pulled out his pistols, checking them and making sure they were ready.

He looked at everyone around him. "This doesn't sound good."

The tinted windows suddenly darkened and in the car, it almost felt like the daylight had turned to night. She looked out the windows and noticed a wide scale broadcast of some figure stating about overtaking the world. At first thought, it really felt like a foolish joke but she had a feeling it wasn't. It was intentional to bring it up at such an event and it doesn't look like Umbrella was just going to stand to watch.

With the announcement coming to an end, a swarm of people ran out of the event gate. All Syrai could hear was the pounding footsteps that even shook the car. The worst that can happen out of this randomness was a riot for those who despised Umbrella.

"Zombies? Is there something we are not informed of?" She silently whispered. There was no doubt in her mind that this could essentially turn out into a very bad first day on the job.

Ryan frowned this was outside of his calculations but it wasn't that he didn't think they would escape it was he had hope to at least confront them before they exited the base with a Heavy Sigh he Exited the car and Began to walk back towards the stage as he did he lift up his wrist PDA and spoke into with a clear and serious voice.

"Code Red, Alert Level 5, All units converge on HQ and contain the out break, This is not a Drill."

He motioned for Syrai and Jason to follow him as he walked slowly towards the Stage, he spoke to the as he walked not caring if they followed or not but it was more of explaining what had happened more so to himself then anyone else.

"The thing on Stage is a Scientist Possessed by what he have come to know as the Illumanti thus far we have no Data on them other then what has recently been see so for now i would like you to watch and take notes and support me when you feel you can or go help the other Members of Umbrella contain the outbreak at HQ your Choice."

With that he pushed a button on his Wrist PDA and an Alarm sounded everyone panicked at first but the alarm was that of a fire alarm so seen no fire near them they mass of people slowly made there way out of the Expo.

Ryan stood in the Middle of the crowd around the stage and Locked eyes with the Illumanti on stage it was Clear to him that he would have to personal fight this thing and it sent a shiver of excitement through his body to think that he might have found someone who would rival his Power and make for an interesting fight as the thought crossed his mind a Grin broke out across his face.

(Umbrella HQ)

Alice had taken command of the base and using what limited power she had left she locked down the base as tight as she could with would give the members of umbrella enough time to surround the Base and set up a containment block which hopefully will buy them enough time to get reinforcements and stop a second outbreak from happening.

"Tck! if only i had my equipment...."

Alice sigh as she started to flicker in an out of her hologram mode he started to transfer herself onto a Back up disk where should would wait for Ryan to come get here so for now she was unable to do anything but wait.



(Sorry it took so long Life got in the way )

Satomi slowly walked out of the place she was hiding at and walked through the panicking crowds calmly and stood right infront of the stage and listened to every word the CEO said and galanced at the Illumanti after he finished his speech "so to put it in a simple way, it's the Umbrella's fault 'again'?" she directed her frim calm words at the CEO that stood infornt of her than smirked as she looked straight at him and pointed her finger at him "will you, who is just another human even while you're the big shot of the Umbrella...be able to take the responsibility of your own creation?"

Despite so much occurring, Akira didn't want to lose sight of his goal. He began to move after the CEO he had been following so far, but really, what could he do now? Was this really the most important thing? Unsure, wish his resolve weakened, he began to walk after Ryan, listening as he seemed to speak to himself. The obvious thing is that something was going on. He turned to the side and saw Jason's reaction, almost subconsciously placing his hand on the handle of his STI Eagle 6.0 as he watched each reaction. What's going on? Something's happening and it's big.

Without much else to do, he turned to Jason and Syrai. Maybe they weren't fond of him, but they were members of Umbrella and most likely much more informed than him. He could swear the girl in maid attire said something about zombies too, not that he could hear the voice under her breath very well, but that word had become a sort of taboo these days unless talking about something serious. Black of the sky didn't seem to be some sort of natural weather phenomena however... the disease may be free again. He walked up to Jason, grabbing his shoulders to make sure he got his attention, bringing his pistol from his pocket without thought, although it wasn't pointed at him, simply upward.

"What do you mean?! You're Umbrella, right?! Shouldn't you have to protect us citizens?! "

He looked at the silver gun in surprise, then pulled back, his voice growing much more quiet and withdrawn, his head looking down.

"I know. You've always had your thing for hiding secrets... but can't you at least keep me safe? I'll watch your back but tell me what the hell is happening."

His eyes raised, then he glanced at Syrai as well, seeming more confident.

Jason thought it over, and decided it was more important to watch Ryan and back him up. If anyone might have a solution for this mess, it would be the guy who ran the damn thing.

"i've got your back sir."

As he walked forward, he was suddenly stopped by akira. He had brought out his gun again, though Jason didn't blame him. Rules and regulations were out the window now.

"I am part of umbrella yes, but that does not obligate to act as a police officer. 'to protect and serve' is not our motto. We umbrella and its assets first before anything else. But even if we did, what makes you think you should have special treatment to be protected over any other bystanders here? If you think that way, you might as well die first.

He stepped around him to clear his path again, but stopped before he passed akira. Holding a moment to say one last thing.

"I have no clue what is going on, I am just a grunt remember? All I know is that thing came from HQ and its bad. Your safest option is to get the hell out of here, but you can tag along if you want. Protocol is kinda out the window. But don't get in the way and don't slow us down. As long as you do those things, we shouldn't have any problems."

Jason walked on following Ryan. He wasn't sure what akira or syrai would do. He wouldn't blame them for getting out of there when they could. He wasn't one to turn away from his duty though.
