Jill returned to the hallway above the staircase, and went opposite of the way she climbed. She found a door without the handle broken off from her side. Jill continued on and found a door, which she entered.

  Red curtains were tied up against the brown wallpaper walls in this hallway. Jill went to her left, walked up to the wall, and found a picture frame that had broken glass sticking out. She continued on her right, passed a green metal door, turned right again, and went in a new room.

   An L-shaped hallway was this room, with a pillar standing in an open area. Jil went forth,but when she heard a door closed, she stopped. A S.T.A.R.S. Bravo team member with blond hair in an orange shirt rushed up against a wall in front of Jill. She approached him.

   "Richard!"Jill called out to him as she came up to him. Richard laid on the floor as Jill began to examine him. She could see that he was in pain."What happened?"she asked urgently.

   "Jill, one of those demons, a giant snake, bit me up in there," Richard said as he showed Jill the snake bite. The bite occupied a whole lot of his right arm."It poisoned me."

   Jill questioned quickly,"What can I do?"

   "There's some medicine in the drug room, in the west side. I didn't pick any up," Richard informed Jill."Please get me some."

   Jill answered as she got up,"I'll be back soon." She rushed out the door she entered from.

   To her left was another door that she entered. She was back in the foyer, and ran to the door above the dining room.

   In a haste-ful manner, she ran through the upper dining room, the hall above the stairs Chris entered a while ago, and dashed down them, and entered the drug room.

   She looked in the medicine cabinet, looking for the right serum. No, no, no, there it is! Jill thought in her head as she quickly snatched the medicine and a syringe, and left the room.

   Jill came back to the hallway where Richard was waiting.

  "Here it is. I'm going to inject it into you." Jill said as she got out the syringe. She filled it up with the medicine, and injected it into Richard's right arm.

   Richard said,"Thank you, Jill. I guess I'll just rest in here for a while."

  "You sure you'll be alright?" Jill asked.

  "Yes, I think I will."

   "Okay, then. I guess I'll see you later," Jill told Richard as she got up.

   "Jill, before I forget, take this with you." Richard reached for his side pack, and gave Jill a communications radio.

    Jill picked up the radio from his hands, and said,"Thanks, Richard." She went back into the curtain hallway.
