Chapter 1: Searching
The year is 2002
One year ago, Jason Maxwell; leader of a group of renegades fighting against the corrupt company Umbrella and their viral weapons, along with his girlfriend Lisa Richards; launched a raid on an important Umbrella outpost. However their attempts met with only partial success; they were able to defeat and kill Umbrella chairman Trevor Maxwell; but only at the cost of Lisa's life too.
Since then Jason has left everything to those who had joined him, giving them everything they needed to continue fighting before vanishing. However his friends refuse to give up on him and they continue the search for him, hoping to bring him back to them and convince him to keep fighting, so Lisa's sacrifice wasn't in vain.
At this moment, two members of the group arrive in a small city in the United Kingdom, where a small Umbrella base is located, small enough for them to sneak in and hack into Umbrella's mainframe without being noticed; this way they hope to uncover the truth about what happened to their friend.
The van drove slowly through the streets; people barely gave it a second glance. They soon reached their destination and stopped; it was a quiet, practically deserted part of town. The door to the empty house stood next to them, this was the place they had chosen to set up as their safe house. The figures inside got out of the van and made sure they couldn't be seen. They quickly unloaded the van; it contained an unusual array of supplies; ammunition, food, medical supplies and a pair of unmarked silver cases. The final cases held a small array of weapons. They unloaded the supplies into the building and made sure it was set up, ready for the door to be barred if necessary and the windows covered. Finally they stepped back, made sure everything was fixed and they stepped outside, looking normal, rather than suspicious. The first figure, who had also been the driver, was a forty-one year old Asian man with short black hair, black eyes and a muscular build. He was dressed casually in black jeans; a grey T-shirt and black boots. The other two figures were female. The first was thirty one, Caucasian with long white blonde hair in a ponytail and emerald green eyes; she was dressed in a simple short black dress with lighter green dragon design; had a green jumper tied around her waist and black boots lined with green. The second woman was younger; twenty two; tall with pale skin, long curly blonde hair which she wore in a long fishtail braid and forest green eyes. She was dressed in a black and purple mid-thigh length spaghetti strap gothic Lolita dress, the skirt puffed out slightly; she also wore black and purple striped knee socks and black flats along with light purple eye shadow and a diamond ring on her right ring finger. They were members of the anti-Umbrella group; their names were Seth Kim, Lydia Caliente and Cashmere Fehlauer.
They looked around one more time and were satisfied they hadn't been seen. Lydia turned to Seth.
"Thanks Seth, looks like we're all set." She said.
He nodded. "Understood; now remember, this is supposed to be a stealth mission; if things get crazy, call for back up, understand."
"We'll be fine." Lydia confirmed.
Cashmere nodded. "Okay, let's get to work. We'll contact you for help or updates."
Seth nodded. "Good luck."
With that, he got in the van and drove off. The mission had been arranged and they both volunteered to take part, it was decided that two operatives would attract less attention and so that was the plan they followed. Once Seth was gone, Lydia and Cashmere walked down the street and soon joined the crowd. They walked through the crowd, blending in and acting as if they were wandering aimlessly; however they had a goal in mind. Before long the place they were looking for soon came into view. It was a hospital, it looked normal enough except they knew the place was funded and run by Umbrella; it also held a connection to their mainframe. That was their target, they quietly approached the hospital; letting the crowd hide their movements, soon they worked their way through and entered the hospital. They looked around; there was nobody inside at present, except the receptionist.
The receptionist looked up as they entered.
"Yes, can I help you?"
Lydia approached the desk while Cashmere checked the map and verified their route.
Lydia stopped in front of the desk. "Yes; I'm here to collect a form, for the university lab, here."
She handed the woman a slip of paper. The woman read it, nodded and left the room. Lydia hurried over to where Cashmere was waiting and they slipped through the door. They moved quickly but silently down the corridor; luckily they didn't run into anyone. Security was surprisingly light, even if they weren't expected.
"I don't like this." Cashmere muttered. "It's way too quiet."
Lydia nodded. "Tell me about it; I keep thinking every time we turn a corner we'll run into people from Umbrella, waiting for us."
Cashmere glared. "If this is a trap, it's a damn good one; she muttered.
Lydia quietly agreed, however nothing happened and they reached the room they were looking for. Still wary they entered and logged onto the computer. Lydia put her computer skills to work and began hacking into Umbrella's mainframe. Almost immediately she spotted a file with her name on it. She checked it and blushed. It was a picture of her when she first joined the force; eager to please; which meant she was dressed somewhat…inappropriately. Her blonde hair was pulled into a side bun; her black and green police hat covered her face so that only her bright red lips are seen. She wore a green jacket and on the back of the jacket is K-9, her police group, was displayed she also wore a revealing shirt which is tight and shows cleavage finally she had on a short green skirt with knee high black boots.
Luckily Cashmere made no comment; so Lydia closed the picture and spotted another that caught her eye; Anita; the same Anita who she met in Raccoon City; someone else Umbrella was looking into. In her picture she was wearing a short pink dress, top part looked like the top of a rose and as it went downward, it began to lose its flowery look, but still retains the look of a rose. She had a pink flower hair pin and green hi-heels. She also had light pink lip gloss and green eyeshadow that suits her and her wedding ring, which was made out of emerald and has a real diamond cut into the shape of a rose. She closed the picture and continued her search; she found information pertaining to the viruses; yet nothing on Jason. She sighed; yet suddenly, before they could do anything else, an alarm went off. Lydia jumped up and Cashmere groaned; they had been discovered.
