A/N: This segment was inspired by the Resident Evil 2 remake. Now in the original Resident Evil, Claire and Leon find the diary of Chief Irons' secretary who notes some interesting and peculiar facts about Irons behavior and gives the player a sense of nervousness and that Irons is not to be trusted. I was upset that this was not included in the RE2 Remake so I figured for the sake of creativity I would write my own! Enjoy.
FAO to Manager, Department of Internal Affairs.
I am filing this complaint on behalf of myself and several officers of the Raccoon City Police Department in regards to the questionable conduct of our chief, Brian Irons.
Chief Irons has been our police chief for close to twelve years now and so far we've had a decent and professional relationship with him. However, this past year we have began noticing some suspicious and inappropriate behaviour from him.
The first incident occurred on April 6th when me and a fellow officer, Marvin Branagh, moved one of our station's art statues on the second floor from the middle of the room to the wall. We did this because quite frankly it was in the way and felt that it could be a safety hazard. Marvin and I took extra steps as to not damage the statue but shortly afterwards Chief Irons approached us and ranted at us to never touch the statue again. When we tried to explain our reasoning he cursed us out and told us to stick to writing parking tickets and paperwork as he paid us to do. Marvin and I were quite disturbed by this confrontation.
Marvin later approached me and said Chief Irons spoke to him about the incident and that he was sorry for the language and admitted to overreacting. The Chief, however still stated that we were to never touch any of the statues or the art without asking for his permission. Chief Irons explained that the statues were very expensive and held a lot of sentimental value to him as he was an amateur art collector himself.
It was then that we realized that the Chief has quite a collection of artwork including paintings, sculptures, and taxidermied animals. I do know the Chief practices taxidermy as a hobby but the paintings and sculptures had me wondering how he obtained all these pieces of art. Many of them have been appraised as being worth tens of thousands of dollars and we have questioned how he can afford such items on his standard salary. His secretary Carole Sindemann explained that he hasn't received any bonuses or wage raises which further widened my suspicions.
I myself asked this of Chief Irons and he explained that most of the artwork were reproductions and fakes and the few authentic ones were donations that he got from a "friend" who worked for the state museum. He refused to give further details and several of us at the RPD believe that Chief Irons is either obtaining money via external means and bribes, or he is syphoning funds from our budget. I am requesting an inquiry on this matter.
Another unusual incident occurred on May 2nd when one of our officers named George took a lunch break at a local cafe. When he returned he admitted he was five minutes late and apologized but Chief Irons screamed at him in a very unprofessional matter. What made this incident unusual was that the Chief was particularly more angered by the fact that George lost track of time while chatting with diner who was employed at the Umbrella Corporation rather than the fact that he was late for his shift. George was very upset by this and currently has yet to receive an apology.
However the incident which made me file this complaint came about two days ago. Carole Sindemann ran into my office in tears and in great distress. When I asked her what happened she told me that she was cleaning Chief Irons' office as she often does while he is away. She claimed that when she was organizing a few papers on his desk he suddenly ran in and grabbed her by her collar and began "growling like a bulldog". He accused her of being a "snooping bitch" and that she was not supposed to be going through his belongings and that she could consider this her final day at work. Obviously this is not only unprofessional but also borderline assault.
Upon confronting Chief Irons he himself more or less threatened me and told me that it was "none of my fucking business" and that if I wanted to keep my job I was to never bring it up again.
Obviously this has worried me greatly and with the recent murders and accidents going on in Raccoon City this has only raised my suspicion that the Chief is not acting within the interests of our city. I am awaiting your response and I hope that we can resolve this.
