A/N: I was bored and I needed to keep my muse alive for Resident Evil RP - I decided to give fanfiction a shot. This is my first Resident Evil fanfiction I've written... so, be gentle. Also, after you read this - please read the note at the end. Thanks.

Hope you enjoy. This will be a bunch of one-shot, obviously.

The Head of Security

October 31st, 1998

It would appear I did pretty damn good in gaining the Head of Security title in no time flat. When I first signed up with them, I was like the rest of the grunts... just a rookie. No ordinary rookie though. Worked my ass off through the ranks to get to where I am... worth all the effort and struggle, that's for certain.

I hail from Moscow, Russia - born and raised there. Grew up with my parents, both of them, alive and well along with my sister. We lived there till me and my sister turned eighteen, that was when I signed up with Umbrella Corporation... and lost my sister.

She never liked Umbrella for some reason, said she didn't trust them. Last thing I heard from her was that I was blinded like the rest of them. We never spoke again after she disappeared. Think she joined up with the marines or something like that, according to Mom. I miss her terribly, I really do. It feels like I've lost my life-long bestfriend in the worst way. When I think of her, my chest would hurt like hell and I'd feel like crying. But I don't let the tears fall. Is that a bad thing? Eh, who knows.

Well, I should get going now. Commander One looks pretty pissed, probably because my break was supposed to be over about twenty minutes ago. Note to self: don't write at work again. The mind can be a dangerous thing sometimes.

-Alice.

"Abernathy, a moment? I need to speak with you." The deep masculine voice of James Shade, also known as Commander One by most around here, echoed across the room to her. He was an experienced soldier or perhaps even a mercenary, no one really knows because he doesn't talk much. Mostly keeps to himself often. Work and his team was his priority 24/7. It was pretty much the same with Alice.

'Guess I'm in trouble.' Alice regretfully thought with a sigh, following the taller man away from the rookies that were training. She had been put in charge of training the newbies because her team didn't have enough of people. It was still early anyway, Alice recently got promoted to Head of Security along with her 'husband', Spence Parks and she was still building her team. That kind of thing usually took time. Umbrella Security was no joke, especially with Alice around. She kept a strict discipline over her team and paid them just as much respect as they did for her. Confidence in yourself and your team was the most important thing if they were going to work together and they would have successful outcomes without losing a life.

James stopped for a moment, seeming to watch the other rookies for a moment as he tried to form the words in his head. His temporary silence did worry her before he finally looked back to her and spoke up. His voice didn't sound stern as if he was scolding, so that was a plus.

"I think we might have found two more for your team," James begun to explain and he almost smirked at how relieved Alice looked. But he remained serious, adding more to his enigmatic personality, "They should be arriving in about two hours. You'll need to give them a tour though. Coleman called in sick."

'Again? What the hell has he been eating.' One of the Ensigns working for her was famously known for his ridiculous attendance record but the man was damn lucky his skills were far too superior to be laid off. They needed him just as much he needed them.

"Here's the file on them, look over it when you can and you can dismiss the grunts early. Wouldn't be good if you overdid it tonight." Alice let out a sigh at the last words. Despite the fact this man was her superior, he still worried about her. He knew a little about her past and Alice just brushed it off. "I'm fine, sir. Thanks for the information though," She held up the manila folder to emphasize with a soft smile.

"Alright. You're dismissed then. If these two give you any trouble... let me know, I'll straighten them out." James clicked his tongue with a wink before smiling at her faintly then turning his back to her and walked off.

Okay, that worried her a little. It almost sounded like he was warning her that the two new rookies were troublemakers or something like that. May God help her now.

I'm your dream, make you real
I'm your eyes when you must steal
I'm your pain when you can't feel
Sad but true

The bass and lyrics rang out through the training room. It was blaring and no one was there to complain. It was just her, thankfully. Everyone else either went home or stayed in the security wing for the night. Some of them had night shifts for guard duty. Alice had to give them props for having the guts to sleep underground.

And it was only nine o'clock. The two new grunts should be arriving very shortly. If they had arrived at the Parks mansion earlier than that, then they most likely got held up waiting. There had been a minor issue with the train's power and they had to spend an hour or so repairing it. Thankfully it wasn't serious. She'd hate to spend nights in this place, buried far deep underground under where Raccoon City stood but they were directly under the mansion where Alice and Spence lived.

I'm your dream, mind astray
I'm your eyes while you're away
I'm your pain while you repay
You know it's sad but true

She was on the bag, throwing high kicks and punches at it as the sounds of her fists connecting with the bag were drowned out by the rock music. Focused mint hues never strayed from the same dot on the bag that she would stare at and then her mind would drift away to her own world where she could go over the thoughts she couldn't while working.

And that came to an abrupt stop when the music suddenly cut off and Alice's assault upon the bag ceased to a halt before she looked back over her shoulder to find Commander One up-nodding to her after having turned off the stereo. He wasn't alone either.

A young woman and man were with him and Alice immediately recognized the faces from the folder she went over earlier. Their records might not be able to tell Alice much about who they were and how well they could handle themselves. Like her superior, she believed that seeing them in action and interacting with them was the best way to find out. Obviously. Can't always judge a book by it's cover. Sparing a sheepish grin to the Commander in a subtle apology, Alice picked up her towel off the bench nearby and dabbed the sweat off her face with it as she approached the three. Right off the bat, her eyes were found by the younger woman's dark gaze and she couldn't help but feel strange for a minute. Not that it was bad, actually. Just unexpected. Aside from the cold and careless look that reminded her of Coleman, they gave Alice the feeling that there was more than what the eye sees.

"Ocampo and Salinas?" Had to make sure and both of the grunts nodded in answer. J.D. Salinas, he appeared just as serious as Ocampo and showed determination in his posture. This was only the beginning though, she had yet to see the other sides of the two so who knows if they'd be a hassle or not. Either way, Alice would probably straighten them out as she had done her fair share of newbies. "Glad to have you both joining us. You both must be exhausted, I'll show you where you'll be staying for the night and we can begin the tour tomorrow."

Even as Alice spoke, she could feel a gaze on her and when she looked at Ocampo, the shorter woman appeared to become uninterested and looked over at her comrade, rolling her eyes when Salinas shot her a sly smirk.

Alice didn't let her own smirk play across her lips till after she turned her back and guided them out of the training room and headed for the bunkers. She already could tell this year was going to be interesting with these two.

-Fin-

A/N: Yeah, I know the 'wtf' is directed to Alice's sister. They never gave us much on her past and her background, which is pretty neat because it gives us the chance to come up with a past Alice could have in the way we see it in our fanfictions, right? Makes it all more interesting.
