Evangeline Holtz sat at the computer screen, wracking her brain at what was wrong with the DNA strand. She had been a Biochemical Engineer for 6 years now, making her feel horribly old. Her family died in an avalanche during one of their "vacations" so Dr. Yushin Allistar, a family friend, decided to look after her. When she turned 22 she decided she wanted to study under Yushin Allistar as a Biochemical Engineer, working closely with Dr. Allistar. At the moment they were working on two viral strains, the T-Virus and the G-virus. The goal was to try and connect the two strains together to help form a new strain, so far it was turning out to be a complete failure.

Evangeline sighed, getting up from her seat. She slowly removed the band holding her hair in a ponytail, letting her long brown hair fall down to the small of her back, walking over to the nearest window.

"Go figure, it's raining…" she crossed her arms on the windowsill, resting her chin on them.

Dr. Allistar entered the room, smiling lightly at Evangeline, "When is it never raining here..?"

She got up and turned around quickly feeling quite surprised, facing Dr. Allistar while putting her hair back up in a ponytail, "Oh.. I-I'm terribly sorry Dr. Allistar, I was just taking a break.."

He put up his hand to silence her, "Please, Lina.. don't worry about that. You've been working 3 days straight without sleep, you need to relax." He smiled, bringing his hand down to adjust his glasses, "I'll take over for now and call me Yushin, by now you know this.."

Lina sighed, shaking her head, "I can't, isn't Mr. Wesker coming in…" She checked her watch briefly, looking back to Yushin, "In about 8 hours? I can't be expected to rest when we haven't even cracked this, therefore I'm going to continue." She finished, walking back over to the desk and sitting back down in the uncomfortable computer setting. Sighing has been something she'd been doing alot lately, out of lack of sleep and total frustration. "There must be a way to make this work…" she said to herself as she typed away at the keyboard.

Yushin chuckled, shaking his head, "Lina, you are almost too determined. Would you like me to get you something to drink? You haven't eaten or drank anything today… your starting to worry me.."

She waved her hand, steadily typing, "I'm fine… I just need something to drink, some water please."

Yushin smiled, nodding before turning around and exiting the room.

Typing was starting to slowly become a chore as the days without sleep passed but she had to continue, the famed Albert Wesker would be here soon to see how progress was going and she didn't want to disappoint. She studied the two strains, examining carefully the make of each. She was shocked when she discovered the problem. Lina bit her lip to quell the excitement, "The atmosphere that the samples were under was too cold for the chromosomes to adapt and integrate within the specified parameters!"

"Excellent work, Ms. Holtz," said the voice behind her, calm and silky.

Lina smiled in spite of herself, "Why thank yo--" she turned around abruptly, eyes wide and mouth agape, "Who…?" Her eyes were transfixed on him, almost hypnotically. Blonde hair… shades… he.. No, he can't be.. She thought to herself, all the while the man was getting impatient and disgusted with her stare.

He grimaced, never expecting her to be so beautiful. Blue eyes, brown hair, beautiful lips… Humans are so pitiful, even in beauty they are disgusting, "Albert Wesker, It's Albert Wesker…"

She got up quickly, straightening her lab coat out and smoothing her hair in the chaos, extending her hand, "Evangeline Holtz.. It's a pleasure to meet you, Albert," she smiled widely.

He sneered, crossing his arms and shaking his head, "I already know your name, Ms. Holtz. What I am concerned with is how the project is doing, and don't call me Albert ever again, it's Wesker. Understood?" he passed her to walk over to the computer, scrolling through the findings.

Immediately putting her hand down, she grimaced, walking over to his side. Jesus christ he's such an ass, "Ah, well as you can see. I found out that the atmosphere they were trying to amalgamate in was too low of a temperature, the equation should work perfectly fine provided we discover the correct temperature coefficient."

Yushin walked in, carrying a glass of water in his hand. He noticed Wesker and smiled, "Ah, hello Wesker. Have you met Evangeline..?" he handed the water to Lina, mouthing the words "I'm sorry" to her.

"Yes, she's just… peachy," he said with a sarcastic tone, "May I speak with you Doctor..?"

Yushin nodded with a seriousness in his expression, turning to Lina, "Will you wait outside please..?"

Lina gulped the rest of the water down, her eyes wide like a deer caught in the headlights. She had never seen Yushin look so cold and calculated, she nodded, "Yes.."

Walking out of the room Lina closed the door, leaning against the wall. She wanted to know what was going on, the most she could do was eavesdrop. And that she did well.

Wesker paced the floor angrily, "When can she begin working for me..?"

Yushin looked at him puzzled, "Anytime you want, this is your facility.. I only run it. Why exactly is it you want her…?"

"Why do you think? Evangeline is gifted, you know it. I want her on my team… she can be a great asset to me… she knows much," Wesker smirked, ceasing his further pace.

"Well, I'd get pretty lonely without her.. She's like my daughter.." Yushin grinned evily, "For a price Wesker.. A hefty price.."

His normally blue hued eyes turned red underneath his shades, the anger boiling in him, "How much..?" he growled.

Yushin laughed, "200k… and she can be yours tonight."

How can such a contemptible human be worth that much? He shook his head in disgust, "Fine, you will have your money, not before I have her…"

The door burst open with one angry woman storming through it, Lina was not pleased with being discussed like a piece of meat, especially by Yushin! She couldn't believe it!! I always thought I was more than this…

Having an utter look of disgust on her face, she walked up and slapped him across the face. The anger having taken over most of her emotion, "How fucking could you?!! You fucking sick bastard!!"

Before she could strike him again, Wesker grabbed her by the wrist tightly making her wince in pain, "Let's not concern ourselves with him anymore Ms. Holtz, you should be more worried about yourself and helping me now.." He turned around, giving a nod to Dr. Yushin, "Thank you Doctor, we'll be in touch.."

Yushin held his face in his hand, massaging the area Lina hit. He laughed maniacally, "Yes.. Thank you Wesker.. For taking that piece of shit off my hands.."

Lina grew angrier, trying to tear away from Wesker's grip but to no avail. She wanted to rip Yushin's fucking throat out, "Let me go Wesker!!"

Wesker sneered, grabbing both of her wrists with one hand, dragging her behind him, "Send a sample of the new strain as soon as you can, Dr. Yushin.."

He smirked, "Will do.. Wesker.."

With that Wesker left the facility, Lina being dragged behind him.

"Please let me go…your hurting me.." she winced, "Please…"

He scowled and released his tight grip on her wrists, holding her with just enough force for her to know she couldn't escape even if she tried, "There… now will you shut up..? Your whining aggravates me…"

Lina looked at him with sadness in her blue eyes, "Where are you taking me…?"

"To my main facility, now shut up! I will NOT tell you again.." Wesker sighed, this would be a long and agonizing trip back. All this trouble for a brilliant scientist…

AN: I've already put up the next installment! So have fun reading! Hehe. ^__^;;
