I never really dreamed of becoming a scientist when I was kid, or I never imagined being in love with a monster.
I wonder how to begin with my story, perhaps by introducing myself. My name is Mimi Garland and I used to be a scientist working for Umbrella...
. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .
It all began on an ordinary day in Semptember, an ordinary in Raccoon City. The year was 1980, and it was my first day working for Umbrella. I was 18 and recently graduated from University, I was the top in my class. In the real world, that was an achievement. With Umbrella, I was just like everyone else. A nobody...
6:00am, I arrived at my destination, a mansion in the Arklay woods. I assigned to assist a Dr Birkin with him research and his experiments, but I was just 1 of 5 assistants assigned. Someone was sent to escort me to my work, I took note of the way to get there because the mansion was huge. It would take me at least 3 months to get familiar with the building.
When we finally arrived, I introduced myself to the other assistants but none of them replied. They stood silent awaiting orders, like robots. I followed the trend and waited to meet Dr Birkin.
A couple minutes later 2 men walked in, both were blonde and both looked around my age. One was wearing sunglasses and black clothing and the other one was wearing casual clothes with a clipboard. They finished their conversation and walked past us, the guy with the clipboard gestured us to follow. Which we did. Walking in a straight line behind them like mindless goons. They stopped in front of the lab door and started calling out names. One by one, other's started being called away. Then my name was called out, I walked up to the two scientists with my head down.
"Yes sir" Was all I managed to creak out
The guy with the clipboard outstretch his hand towards me for a shake.
"I am Dr Birkin, welcome aboard our team Miss Garland"
I shook his hand and nodded.
"And this is Dr Wesker"
I looked over to Dr Wesker.
"Enough chit chat, we have work"
He then walked off towards the Birkin then walked into the lab, and I followed. For the rest of that day we just tested subjects and formulas. We eventually finished at 12:00am. 18 hours working, with only 2 breaks. This was only the begining. Without saying a word or speaking to anybody, I arrived home and went to bed.
{ Sorry it's short, I just wanted to leave it at a cliffhanger, and you'll understand the title of the story when you get further in }
