[How long had he been in here? Days? Weeks? Months? Try Years. his inner voice told him as he lay in the tube. His muscles were achey and he had barely moved a muscle, he wished he could move his muscles even a little. What he would give for a gym work out right about now but this was his life, watching the scientist known as Hojo walk through these halls over and over again from this tube.

They were either their rescuers or they were about to be executed. He and Reno went way back but at the same time, it was also possible he would shoot him where he stood.

His eyes slipped shut again and he could hear the depressors of the tube being dropped. He was so tired, could barely keep his eyes open. His muscles were so damn weak, he waited as the mako water drained and then he was taken from the tube. His eyes were heavy, he couldn't open them, but he could feel warm skin pressed against his, against his cheek. He felt a zing down his spine but otherwise, he was just trying to survive.
