The drive to Raccoon City seemed to last forever. Chris, a young man who was joining the team thought he'd fall asleep right then and there on the highway. Afterall, he'd been driving for about 5 hours now, and it was getting dark out. Luckilly for him, the next exit said, "Raccoon City: one mile."

Chris jumped up in his seat when he saw that sign. He straightened his posture and paid more attention to the road. He had been filled with joy when an envelope came in the mail about a week ago from S.T.A.R.S captain Albert Wesker saying he would become a S.T.A.R.S member. Infact, the exact letter looked something like this:

Dear Christopher Redfield,

I got your letter about wanting to join The Special Tactics And Rescue Service team, or S.T.A.R.S for short. As you know, we don't just let anyone in. This is a new group and I'm only allowing a certain number (a very small one for that matter) of talented individuals to join. I have done some research and I hear that you are an excellent marksman, and that you were once in the Air Force. You have a great background, so I've decided to let you join us. If you need anything, let me know. I'll always be there for my team. Christopher, you have been placed into the Alpha team based on your skills. There will be a few others with you. Meet me at the R.P.D in Raccoon city in exactly a week for our first meeting. Good Luck.


-Albert Wesker,

S.T.A.R.S founder and captain.

Chris remembered the proud look on his little sister Claire's face as she told everyone she knew that her brother was going to become a top notch police officer. Chris was psyched about his new job. He'd finally make some good money, live a nice, peaceful life, and eventually...settle down and marry. But he didn't want to worry about the future right now ; he wanted to focus on the present. He drove off the ramp on the interstate and parked to look at a map of Raccoon City. It was a quiet peaceful city; Chris liked it already. He saw that the Police office was only a 5 mile drive down the main road. So Chris fired up his engine and sped toward the R.P.D. He was excited. Everything was finally working out for him...and so far, it was working out perfectly.
