Prologue
Xander looked over the list of the renegade S.T.A.R.S. The names delighted him. They had, in the past few months caused Umbrella more trouble than they had bargained for. And, how great would it be if he could show Jackson their heads on silver platters? He could just imagine the benefits…
Retirement might not be so far away after all, old boy!
He looked over the list one more time.

What was infinitely better was the fact that they were all going to be in the same place at the same time. Xander's goons could round them up in one try.

Then I get my prize!
It wasn't that Xander didn't appreciate his position at Umbrella. He had every freelance agent and assassin at the tips of fingers…his pay was more than considerable. He was successful; he was good at what he did. He always got the job done…no matter what. What he really wanted was a spot in the inner circle. The pay was a lot more…not that it would make much of a difference to him…he wanted the power. That's what Xander had always wanted, to be large and in charge.
He began to type out the orders to authorize the capture of the renegade S.T.A.R.S. that had been so infamous in White Umbrella. After it was finished he had but to print and sign the thing and his very will would be put into effect. He had power and respect now. A little more would make him invincible. It was a question of where now.
Think…what's a lab that has prison containment sufficient enough to…oh…yes!
A grim smile curled Xander's lips. He typed in the details and smiled…the renegade S.T.A.R.S. would taste true pain once they were made guinea pigs at…
…Torel Island…
