The saga of the staff

Episode 3 - "Resident Evil is a girls best friend"  

“Just put your foot on the accelerator, stoopid!!!” Shouted Mikey, thinking it should be him in the drivers seat.

Faz put his foot down, and the car sped forward at an incredible rate… but not before being caught in a wheel spin.

The car zoomed down the seemingly straight road, Faz smiling smugly to himself. He looked back at Mikey.

“See! I knew I could drive this thing!” Boasted Faz. Mikey pulled a face at him, and crossed his arms, still jealous he wasn’t driving.

Andrew smiled and looked out of the front window.

“SHIT! FAZ! BRAKE!!!” Screamed Andy as he spotted a barrier up ahead.

Faz turned to see the same thing, and slammed his foot down on the brake. However, they seemed to be too close to stop in time. The three of them covered their faces, and braced for the impact… However, instead of slamming into a barrier, the trio fell onto the ground. They got up and looked around cautiously.

They had transported again… this time they seemed to be in a very posh reception area. There were stairs leading up to a balcony-type area to their right, and a reception desk was in front of them. To the left were two doors, and behind them were some steps leading up to what seemed to be the way into this place.

“We’re in CODE: Veronica!!!” Said Andy, very excited.

The three of them looked at each other, to see what character they were now. Mikey and Andy simply burst out laughing when they saw that Faz, again, was a woman! Faz looked down at himself. He was wearing jeans, a very tight black top with a red leathery sleeveless jacket on.

“Oh, how hilarious! Faz is a woman again! Lets all laugh!!!” Said Faz, not amused in the slightest.

“But… you’re Claire Redfield!” Said Mikey, giggling.

“Well, you’re Steve Burnside!!!” Faz retorted, a grin on his face.

“Oh boll…” Mikey was cut off by Andy…

“WOOHOO!!! I’m Chris Redfield!!!!” Shouted Andy.

“I take it you like Chris then…” Said Faz, smiling.

“You betcha!” Andy grinned also.

Mikey began to walk over to the stairs. Suddenly, he heard a door open from upstairs!

“Someone’s coming!” Mikey whispered to the others.

“That’ll be Alfred Ashford! Quick… hide!!!” Whispered Andy.

All three hid behind the same column, and heard Alfred begin to descend the stairs…

“Ahhh… I see you made it this far!” Said Alfred.

“That’s not what he says in the game!!!” Whispered Andy confused.

“Well, in the game, there was only Claire in this scene. Maybe that’s what’s changed things!” Whispered Faz.

“You’re with S.T.A.R.S., aren’t you? You’re here to shut down my base! HA! That will never happen!” Bellowed Alfred in his camp voice.

“Actually, Mr. Ashford, I think you’ll find that I am the only member of S.T.A.R.S. present!” Shouted Andrew, very proud of that fact for some reason. 

“He really likes Chris Redfield!” Whispered Faz to Mikey, smiling.

Alfred Ashford stopped in his tracks and raised his gun, aiming at the pillar the trio were stood behind.

“Well, no matter! Looks like I have all three of you right where I want you!” Proclaimed Ashford, holding his aim as steady as possible.

Andy stood there, thinking of a way to get out of this predicament…

“Faz… I have an idea.” Andy blurted out suddenly.

“Oh! What? Anything!” Said Faz, eager to hear. Mikey listened in too.

“Well, I believe Mr. Ashford here may have a bit of a soft spot for you, Claire… I mean, Faz!” Whispered Andy.

Mikey tried hard to stifle a laugh, as he knew it could trigger Alfred off.

What??? You want me to seduce Alfred Ashford? The cross-dressing freak???” Raged Faz, as quietly as possible.

“Well, turn on all your ‘feminine’ charms and attempt to divert his attention while we disable him… or at least escape!” Said Andrew, putting his hand on Faz’s shoulder.

“Sounds good to me!” Mikey joined in. 

Faz stood for a second, the task not quite stuck in his mind yet. He took a deep breath, and said….

“Oh Mister Ashford, you big hunk of man, you!”

Andy and Mikey nearly burst out laughing.

“What is it, Claire Redfield?” Asked Alfred.

“How would you like some good loving from little old me?” Asked Faz, pulling a disgusted face.

All fell silent for a second. Then Alfred spoke again.

“I… well… approach me slowly!” Demanded Alfred.

“Walk like a woman!” Whispered Mikey, as Faz prepared to step out.

Faz turned and stuck his tongue out at Mikey and then walked out from behind the pillar, trying to walk as much like a lady as possible.

“Oh… Mister Ashford! Hows you doing man?” Asked Faz in the most feminine voice available to him.

Andy and Mikey slapped their hands on their foreheads at what Faz had just said and rolled their eyes.

“I’m fine Miss Redfield, but I’m afraid that I will have to detain your friends. You, on the other hand, may come with me… to my boudoir!” Said Alfred, stepping down the stairs. “Stay right there Miss Redfield! I will take these two and lock them up!”

“What a great plan, Andy!” Whispered Mikey.

Alfred escorted Andy and Mikey all the way to the prison cell that Claire Redfield had begun the game in. Once he had locked them up in there and kicked Rodrigo a couple of times, he took Faz back to the palace.

Alfred led Faz through the secret passage in his office and through to the house on the hill behind the palace itself. He took Faz up the stairs in the mansion and into his room where he made sure to lock the door behind him.

‘Oh great… what a brilliant plan this is turning out to be…” Thought Faz to himself.

Meanwhile, Andy and Mikey sat in the dark, damp prison cell. Andy looked over at Rodrigo who seemed to be sleeping in the chair. He then looked back at Mikey who was twiddling his thumbs.

“Okay! I admit it! It wasn’t the best idea I’ve ever had…” Said Andrew, looking down at the floor now.

“Well, at least it wasn’t as bad as people taking the online play out of supposedly online games in Europe! I mean… Half-Life, Daytona… and now bloody Unreal Tournament! WHY???” Shouted Mikey, getting very mad. He began to weep.

Andrew patted Mikey on the shoulder.

“There, there. Don’t cry Mikey!” Said Andrew, as he looked over at Rodrigo.

Suddenly, a bright light shone from over where Rodrigo was sat… and when it had diminished, the guy was sat upright in the chair, his face changed from that of a man from Latino origin to a man of European origin!

“Huh? What am I doing here???” Asked Rodrigo.

The guy looked over at Andy and Mikey sat in the cell and his eyes opened widely.

“I’m in CODE: Veronica!!!” Shouted the man.

“Who are you???” Asked Mikey, wiping tears from his eyes.

“I’m Sam. Sam Smith!” Said the man.

Andy and Mikey looked at each other and smiled…
