Summary: Two months have passed, and Dean is still on his hunt for Raina.
It had been a rainy week. So rainy, in fact, that the dams in Townsend, Montana gave way and the rivers and streams flooded all over the town. The temperature was comfortable, though, which was a bonus. The leaves on all the trees had changed, and had it been even mildly sunny, it would be a beautiful, bright array of colors. But in the dark, dank raininess, all you could see was dark orange, red and yellow--none of which were the least bit vibrant. Sitting in a dark, dreary room in an abandoned warehouse is Albert Wesker and an elated Cathryn Lavalee, discussing in earnest, their plans for their latest guinea pig, Raina Morenez.
Do you remember Raina? Raina Morenez was formerly a zombie hunter, partnered with Anna Thompson. They'd become infamous in their field, too. Raina was formerly public enemy number one of the Umbrella Corporation. The number one target for them to take out and bring over to their side. Until they paid her off to lead Anna, Sam Winchester and Dean Winchester into a trap. But their plan backfired (or did it?) when she wound up betraying them and setting the Winchesters and Anna free, sacrificing herself in their place. With Raina gone, though, the top three public enemies for Umbrella were Anna, Sam and Dean, and for all they knew, Umbrella was blown off the map.
The entire town of Townsend, Montana was owned by Umbrella, and after their laboratory in Mentone, Texas was destroyed, they needed to move to that town. Over half of the town, approximately five-hundred people, worked at the Umbrella Laboratory and plant, and the other five-hundred worked at Umbrella based facilities throughout town. The entire town was an Umbrella fest. The schools were even named after the founders of the Umbrella Corporation. Edward Ashford Elementary, James Marcus Middle School, and the high school was named for the last founder, Ozwell E. Spencer. Anyway, where was I?
Oh, right. Cathryn Lavalee and Albert Wesker cheerily discussed the plans and results for Raina Morenez, as they walked down the stairs of the abandoned Umbrella facility and into the basement. What? Why was the facility abandoned, you ask? The taxpayers money for the past twenty-five years (plus a lot of Umbrella's own money) had gone to building a brand new Umbrella facility downtown, and secret reasons (which truly aren't so secretive), President Wesker and Vice President Lavalee refused to have the old facility torn down. Cathryn and Albert made their way down the stairs, to the basement, to a cell where Raina Morenez lay, ready for transportation to the new facility…
Cathryn looked at Raina as she and Albert stood in front of the girl's cell. It was an amazing virus, Nephthys. It altered your inside strength, without changing your outside appearance. The only way she or Albert could make it any better was to add an element to change one's loyalties. Now, Miss Morenez possessed superior strength. She was strong enough to get out of the cell she was in, which was why it was filled with a noxious gas once a day, to make sure she wasn't awake long enough to escape. She was sharper witted, to the point that she knew when the blasts of noxious gas was going to come, and tried her best to avoid it--actually, some of her attempts weren't half bad, either. At one point she'd even covered her face with her pillow. But the gas had seeped through the holes in the fabric and Raina had been out cold once again. Jessica had the same exact results, and in the cell across from Raina she lay, too, ready for transportation. "Let's move them, Albert, while they're still asleep..."
Albert nodded and opened Raina's cell. Fortunately, he and Cathryn could handle the strength of the two young women, because as soon as they'd realized that the Nephthys virus worked, they'd injected one another with it, and the results were spectacular. He walked into Raina's cell and looked over his shoulder as Cathryn walked into Jessica's, smiling before leaning down to pick up Raina, draping her over his shoulder and carrying her out to an Umbrella Ambulance, Cathryn two steps behind with Jessica, setting her in another. "Take these two to the new facility, are we clear?" he commanded the driver, and when he shut the door, he picked up his phone and placed a call to an Umbrella associate. "Yes, Lee? Release the BOW gas to the town. I want every last townsperson in Townsend infected with the T-virus..." he watched as the ambulance sped off into the distance.
~*~
It had been two months since Sam, Anna and Dean had been stranded in Mentone, Texas, and Dean was still firm under the belief that Raina was alive. He'd even gone so far as to plead with Sam and Anna to go with him to find her. But they'd refused, and he'd been waiting for any sign whatsoever that she was alive. As soon as he heard one, he'd be up and out of there in a second.
Anna and Sam had gone out for supper--why, Dean couldn't figure out--and the TV was still on the news, or whatever Sam had been watching before he left. He hadn't been paying attention at all, but at one point, his attention was snagged.
'In other news, there are reports of maggots in the--oh, hold on,' the newscaster's voice filled the hotel room Dean, Sam and Anna were staying in. 'I've just received a report of a massive radiation leak in Townsend, Montana. So far, as our eye in the sky reported, there is only sign of two survivors in the entire town, Cathryn Lavalee and Albert Wesker...'
Dean's eyes snapped upward to the TV. As if it was a radiation leak. Umbrella Corporation logos were strewn all over the town, and there were dead bodies, drastically resembling the zombies that Dean had to kill in his hellish adventure in Mentone. He listened to the rest of the news report.
'At this point, only Mr. Wesker and Miss Lavalee were available for questioning, and neither of them have said too much, aside from the fact that Umbrella Corporation had nothing to do with this...'
At the sound of the word 'Umbrella', Dean was up off the bed, his coat in his hand, and on his way out the door. Thankfully, Sam and Anna walked to wherever they had gone, so he took his keys out of his pocket and started the Impala, speeding down the road. He had a twenty-hour drive ahead of him, if he obeyed the speed limit, but in Dean speed, it was about fifteen. All he knew was that he had to get to Raina.
One hand on the wheel, he took his cell phone out of his pocket and called Sam's number. He was sure, since Sam and Anna were on a date, that Sam wouldn't pick up. And he was right, so the message was left on Sam's voicemail. "Sammy. I got a lead on Raina's location. I headed out on my own, since you and Anna already said you weren't coming with. I'll be in Montana, if you change your mind."
He'd been waiting months for this. He couldn't just pass it up...
~*~
Sam walked through the door to the hotel room, not expecting to see Dean, as the Impala wasn't in the parking lot. He put his hand on Anna's shoulder and smiled. "Looks like he finally went out somewhere," he chuckled a little. "So, this Raina thing is just in the past now. Let me check my cell phone, find out where he went..." he ran a hand through his hair as he walked up to the TV, which Dean had left on. Habit of his, of course. "Sammy. I got a lead on Raina's location. I headed out on my own, since you and Anna already said you weren't coming with. I'll be in Montana, if you change your mind," was the message that was left in Sam's voicemail. "Shit," he whispered as he looked at the TV screen, at the headline. 'Radiation Leak in Townsend, Montana. Over 1,500 killed.'
When they got back to the hotel and Dean wasn't there, Anna couldn't help but smile, either. He'd finally let go, and decided that the outside world was not his worst enemy. She grinned when she felt Sam's touch on her arm, and took a glance around the room. Her eyes fell upon the TV, and she had to hold back a gasp. "Oh my God..." she spoke softly as she read the headline. "Umbrella? Oh...Jesus. So..." she watched as Sam's attention turned back to her. "He didn't just...go to a bar, did he, Sam?" she asked, deciding now that it wasn't quite time to take her coat off yet. "To Montana?"
Sam sighed and closed his phone, reopening it and dialing Dean's number. But when his brother didn't answer, Sam sighed. "Should have seen that one coming. Yeah, to Montana. Although, without the Impala, I guess we'll have to find another way there..." he looked around the parking lot, then across the street at the Chickasha garage. "I wonder what he has over there for vehicles. It's closed, so...we should be able to get one without a problem..."
Anna smirked and pulled her gun out from beneath the bed, handing Sam his, too. "Well then, I believe it's time to rock and roll..." she spoke excitedly. She'd missed this type of thing. The past two months had been spent recuperating, so Anna's trigger finger and nunchaku that she'd stolen from the Umbrella laboratory back in Mentone had been very itchy for action. "So, I should put my hot-wiring hat on?" she asked with a grin. They made their way out the door and across the street to the garage, smashing the window to one of the vehicles with her elbow and leaning in to unlock the passenger's side. "Go ahead and get in, Sam..."
Sam walked over to the passenger's side with a grin on his face. Only Anna would be so excited about hotwiring a car and going to Nowheresville in Montana on a hunt for Dean. He watched her hot wire the car and smiled as she sat down next to him, backed out and peeled out of the parking lot. "Dean could have anywhere from two to four hours on us, Anna. Think we can catch up to him?" he asked, watching as she put her foot a little harder against the gas pedal. He leaned back and got comfortable for the long ride to Montana.
~*~
Raina's eyes opened, and for the millionth time, she was in a cold, dark environment. She was getting fucking sick and tired of the games Umbrella was playing with her. She moved her arms, only to find them restrained to the stretcher she was laying in, by handcuffs, and she felt fear and anger rising in her body. She looked down at the fatigues that she was in and pulled up against the handcuffs, screaming bloody murder. "JESUS FUCKING CHRIST! SOMEBODY!" she looked around again, pausing when she realized that she was in the back of an ambulance with the doors open. "SOMEBODY? ANYBODY! HELP ME!" she screamed, trying to look around. "IS ANYONE THERE? PLEASE, GET ME OUT OF HERE!"
Jessi had freed herself from her restraints a little while ago, and she'd already entered and exited a couple of stores, looking for supplies, when she heard screaming coming from another ambulance, about fifteen feet in front of the one she'd been in. "HOLD ON!" she shouted, taking a few steps toward the ambulance. It could only be Raina. She had looked across the hall in a few moments of consciousness while she was locked in the cell, and saw Raina there. She stepped up into the ambulance and looked at Raina. "Hold on, I'm gonna help you..." she promised as she searched throughout the ambulance for something to free Raina with.
Raina looked up at the woman before her eyes. She looked about Raina's age. "Thanks. I'm Raina Morenez. I recognize you from the cells in the Umbrella basement. What stroke of bad luck brought you there?" she asked, watching as her companion looked around for something to unlock the handcuffs. She watched her grab a scalpel and take it to the handcuffs. Within a few seconds, she had them unlocked. "Thank you..." she smiled a little as she rubbed her wrist, trying to return blood flow, as the tight handcuffs had cut it off.
Jessi unlocked the handcuffs for Raina and smiled a little. "Jessica McArthur. It was quite a few strokes of bad luck, actually..." she sighed as she and Raina both made their way out of the ambulance. "I used to work for Umbrella. Pretty high up, too..." she sighed. "You could have called me Cathryn Lavalee's right hand, if you wanted. She was my supervisor and she was training me to be the COO of her department...but I betrayed her when I grew a conscience and told Sam Winchester where I was ordered to hide Anna Thompson..." she chuckled. "Cathryn and Wesker told me that it was a huge mistake, and I was to be one of the test subjects for the Nephthys Project..." she sighed heavily. "So, my chain of bad luck started when Umbrella hired me, you could say..."
Raina half-smiled and then looked nervously around town, sighing sadly. It was a varitable blood bath. Well, it would have been, had the rain not washed it all away. So many senseless deaths by the hands of Umbrella. It had to be stopped. "Well then you probably know my story...conned into betraying people by Umbrella and forced to go through hell with Dean Winchester, only to suddenly grow a conscience and decide to trade my life for Dean, Sam and Anna's..." she ran a hand through her hair and sighed. Dean. This was the first time she'd gotten a chance to think about him, without Umbrella knocking her out. He still had no idea that she had been planning to betray him. And now she'd never see him again. "Why is it always an abandoned town? Why can't it be a normal, people still live and breathe and dance and sing, town?" she sighed deeply and started to look around for something to use to her advantage. "Do you have any idea where we can find weapons or...anything?" she asked. She knew, if Umbrella was involved, that there were going to be creatures all throughout the town.
Jessi watched Raina's face fall when she spoke of Dean. She'd fallen for the guy. Jessi had almost expected that to happen when she'd been told that Raina and Dean had been placed together. She sighed. She felt Raina's pain, too. She'd had no contact with her boyfriend over the two months that she'd been enslaved here, and she figured that he thought she was dead. "I don't know why it's always an abandoned town, but...shall we stick together here?" she asked with a shrug, running a hand through her hair. "Or, at least keep in contact? Because sticking together may not be smart, given that this is a big town, and we need to work our asses off to get the hell out of here..." she ran a hand through her hair.
Raina nodded and walked up to a store. "Well, since we're both hopped up on Nephthys, I think we'll be safe on our own...so, my 'a good zombie hunter never travels alone' can go out the window, as far as I'm concerned..." she chuckled. "Let's raid this store here and see if we can find any walkies, okay?" she asked, looking at the Umbrella Mart, the department store chain for the general area of Townsend, before them. "That way we can keep in touch, no matter how separated we get..." she half-smiled. But Dean was still in the back of her mind. Doing her job, you met a lot of people. But none of the people Raina had met in her nine years on the job had come close to Dean Winchester. She sighed and walked into the Umbrella Mart, a couple steps ahead of Jessi, then went straight to the electronics. A pair of walkie-talkies and a couple packs of double-a batteries. "Well then, I'll take the east side of town and you take the west?" she asked as she put a walkie-talkie in Jessi's hand.
Cathryn sat in a van in the safety of her Umbrella laboratory, once again, able to watch Raina and Jessica's every move. She sighed, yet smiled a little. So, Raina and Jessica were working together. Good, she was elated to see how the Nephthys Project guineas would interact with one another. As Raina made her way out of the department store, Cathryn couldn't help but grin again as she came into view on the cameras in the streetlights. Yes, Umbrella could see everything that went on in Townsend, at all times. Most of the time, people weren't even safe in the privacy of their own homes. But that was only so that Cathryn and the rest of the scientists could be sure that no one was...well, causing trouble. She watched as a very familiar '67 Impala drove across the Townsend border, and reactivated her GPS system to the chips she and Wesker had implanted in Dean, Raina, Sam and Anna two months ago...
Rain pounded on the windshield of the Impala as Dean drove through Wherever, Montana. The only thing he could think of was that Raina was in this state, somewhere, under Umbrella's lock and key. He saw a sign approaching that said 'Welcome to Townsend,' and his heart leapt a little. He passed over the border, drove into the center of town and got out of his car. Yeah, it looked like there had been over 1,500 deaths in this town all right. And most of them right in the street. He sighed. He felt like was almost swallowed up by the downpourous rain. So, this was Townsend, Montana. No barricades, no roadblocks, none of that, as a matter of fact. It was almost like Umbrella wanted people to come in and check out the biohazard scene. Oh well, Dean was happy to oblige. He got into the trunk and took out his double barrel, a flashlight and ran a hand through his wet hair. She could be anywhere. This whole town was Umbrella-run. He had one hell of a search ahead of him. A sigh escaped his lips, and he leaned against the fountain in the middle of the town square. "Think this through, Dean. If I were an Umbrella researcher, and I wanted to hide someone like Raina, where would I hide them?"

Because sticking together may not be smart, given that this is a big town, and we need to work our asses off to get the hell out of here..." she ran a hand through her hair.
Raina nodded and walked up to a store. "Well, since we're both hopped up on Nephthys, I think we'll be safe on our own...so, my 'a good zombie hunter never travels alone' can go out the window, as far as I'm concerned..." she chuckled. "Let's raid this store here and see if we can find any walkies, okay?" she asked, looking at the Umbrella Mart, the department store chain for the general area of Townsend, before them. "That way we can keep in touch, no matter how separated we get..." she half-smiled. But Dean was still in the back of her mind. Doing her job, you met a lot of people. But none of the people Raina had met in her nine years on the job had come close to Dean Winchester. She sighed and walked into the Umbrella Mart, a couple steps ahead of Jessi, then went straight to the electronics. A pair of walkie-talkies and a couple packs of double-a batteries. "Well then, I'll take the east side of town and you take the west?" she asked as she put a walkie-talkie in Jessi's hand.
Cathryn sat in a van in the safety of her Umbrella laboratory, once again, able to watch Raina and Jessica's every move. She sighed, yet smiled a little. So, Raina and Jessica were working together. Good, she was elated to see how the Nephthys Project guineas would interact with one another. As Raina made her way out of the department store, Cathryn couldn't help but grin again as she came into view on the cameras in the streetlights. Yes, Umbrella could see everything that went on in Townsend, at all times. Most of the time, people weren't even safe in the privacy of their own homes. But that was only so that Cathryn and the rest of the scientists could be sure that no one was...well, causing trouble. She watched as a very familiar '67 Impala drove across the Townsend border, and reactivated her GPS system to the chips she and Wesker had implanted in Dean, Raina, Sam and Anna two months ago...
Rain pounded on the windshield of the Impala as Dean drove through Wherever, Montana. The only thing he could think of was that Raina was in this state, somewhere, under Umbrella's lock and key. He saw a sign approaching that said 'Welcome to Townsend,' and his heart leapt a little. He passed over the border, drove into the center of town and got out of his car. Yeah, it looked like there had been over 1,500 deaths in this town all right. And most of them right in the street. He sighed. He felt like was almost swallowed up by the downpourous rain. So, this was Townsend, Montana. No barricades, no roadblocks, none of that, as a matter of fact. It was almost like Umbrella wanted people to come in and check out the biohazard scene. Oh well, Dean was happy to oblige. He got into the trunk and took out his double barrel, a flashlight and ran a hand through his wet hair. She could be anywhere. This whole town was Umbrella-run. He had one hell of a search ahead of him. A sigh escaped his lips, and he leaned against the fountain in the middle of the town square. "Think this through, Dean. If I were an Umbrella researcher, and I wanted to hide someone like Raina, where would I hide them?"
