"Chris Redfield, reporting for duty, sir." The oversized brunette male stared at the officer, Officer O'Brian, in front of him as he held a tight salute.
"Chris, stop that." O'Brian brought Chris' hand down himself, chuckling slightly. "You helped found the BSAA, you don't have to refer to me as 'officer'. However, I am glad you could make it on such short notice." The two males stood in the headquarters of the Bioterrorism Security Assessment Alliance, a crowded room filled with technology of all sorts. Clive O'Brian gathered his words in his mind as he paced slowly across the middle walkway. Chris stood behind.
"As you know, the spread of certain viruses such as the T- and C-Virus has been universal."
"Yeah, me and Piers barely made it out of China alive, ourselves. That C-Virus is unlike anything we've seen before. It's dangerous, O'Brian. Fuckin' scary."
"Yes, we know. We wouldn't have sent anyone as skilled as you and Nivens in otherwise. Unfortunately, we have some bad news regarding a new type of virus." He turned to look at Chris, but a worried look was painted across his face. "Research has shown that there may be a new type of biological weapon spreading in parts of the world, far more dangerous than anything we've encountered before. Right now, our scientists are calling it the P-Virus."
"Humph, figures." Chris said with a scowl, unimpressed.
"I don't think you understand, Redfield. This is unlike anything we've ever seen. I'm not sure if there's any way to really explain it to you." The worried look on his face stayed unchanged.
"Look, Clive, I'm sure that I can handle it. I've been through plenty before and I can't imagine that this'll be much worse."
"Chris, I-"
"Look, Clive, there's no reason to worry! It sounds like it could be a total piece of cake. I just finished up with China so I'm not even rusty. First thing's first, where is it that I need to go?"
Clive let out a long sigh and touched his thumb and forefinger to his forehead. He turned back around so that his back was facing Chris again, and continued walking. He approached one of the larger computers on the floor and brought up a couple images quickly. "I'm sure you recognize this area?" He asked.
Chris stared at the pictures for a minute before recognizing the clock tower, Ferris wheel, and bridge that were shown. "London!" He exclaimed. "Oh goody, I've always wanted to travel to England. Such wonderful accents they have." He imitated a British accent of his own. Clive laughed.
"Yes, your next mission will be in London. Unfortunately I'm not sure I can guarantee you'll stay there. You may have to travel to other parts of Europe in order to keep the P-Virus as contained as possible. However, it travels quickly. Faster than any of the other viruses we've-"
"Of course it does!" Chris groaned. "Because that's so original and it never happens!"
"Chris, I really think you should be taking this more seriously!"
"And why is that, O'Brian?"
"Because this is your job, Redfield! I don't know why you're acting so relaxed about this. It's unlike you, you should be more focused."
"Because I know that you're going to provide me with a fantastic team, and there's no doubt me and Jill will finally be working together again. That's a team that will not fail. You of all people should know that."
"Yeah, just like how you didn't fail at the Mansion Inci-"
"Hey, you know that doesn't count! Wesker was fucking Superman on the bad side and Jill jumped on her own!"
"It doesn't matter Chris! You still need to take this seriously! If only you could see what the P-Virus does, then maybe you'd understand…" His voice trailed off into a quiet murmur.
"Besides, you're wrong. We can't give you a big team, or pair you up with Valentine. We lost too many men in China and we need to split people up into pairs more than anything. Jill is leading a group of her own in Paris. Unlike you, she's taking this much more seriously and has already left with some of our rookies. I know it's a tough fight out there, but some of these newbies are so determined. I had no choice but to put them with Ms. Valentine. She's one of our finest and I know that she'll do well in making sure they're safe."
Chris stared at the computer screen for what seemed like an eternity. He had had enough of these missions without Jill. It killed him to know that she was out there without him, possibly in danger, and he couldn't do a damn thing to protect her. People thought there was something romantic behind it, but really, she's just his best friend. He couldn't stand the thought of anything happening to her, and to know that if something did happen and he couldn't do anything to try to protect her, he would never forgive himself.
He put his palms on the desk that Clive was now seated at and let out a long groan of disapproval. "So what am I supposed to do?" He asked him, trying to sound more focused than he actually was. "I go to London and then…"
"We believe that one of the main sources of the virus lies in the heart of London, somewhere. Where? We have no idea exactly, but from what we understand they've planted major sources in big parts of Europe. That's where their main operations are." He explained.
"They? Who is 'they'?"
"That's the problem. We don't know. It's someone or something we've never heard of before."
"You know you really aren't giving me much to work with here, O'Brian."
"I know, Chris, but this is all we've got. Trust me, we would give you more if we could. But this is all we have, and we're really sorry about it. But we trust you, which is why we're sending you in anyway. Chris nodded.
"Gee, thanks." He retorted. "Have you explained any of this to the unlucky bastard who get's to come with me? You're not sending me in alone, are you?"
"God, no, that'd be murder, Chris!" He laughed. "We're smarter than that. Your partner knows everything already, don't worry. You wont have to explain a thing."
"Great. So who is it? I bet it's Piers again, isn't it? We worked so well together already, and because we both just came back from China we're-"
"It's not Nivens. He proved himself worthy enough to be a leader of a group himself, so we're sending him in at a later time with his own partner. You're getting one of the newbies."
"Seriously? C'mon, Clive. You keep talking about how 'dangerous' this virus is, yet you're sending me in with one of the newbies?"
"There's no reason to be so upset, Chris. This one passed the BSAA entrance exam with flying colors, and she seems to already be one of the best we have. Plus, she worked with other organization's before."
"What organizations?"
"I believe she worked with S-"
"Officer O'Brian!" One of the workers shouted as he rushed in, approaching Clive. "The new recruit is here, should I bring her in?" He nodded.
"Looks like your new partner is here now, Chris." He smiled. "Which gives you two time to acquaint yourselves. Let's go." Chris rolled his eyes as Clive prompted him down the hall. The two continued down the walk until they made it to the entrance of the room, where they'd wait for the new girl.
Chris turned in front of O'Brian so that his back was turned towards the door.
"Clive, are you sure you want to send me in with this new one? Are you sure you don't want to give me anyone else to come along with us?" Chris seemed worried. Partly because he was afraid about getting paired up with a rookie, but mostly because he didn't want to get too close to someone who is more likely to die during this mission.
"Yes, Chris, I'm sure. I'm positive. I've met this one before and she can be trusted. I trust her. Shouldn't that be enough reason for you to trust her, as well?"
"Yeah, I don't know…" Chris said skeptically.
Just as Chris stopped talking, the door opened, splitting in half vertically, both halves retracting into their respective wall. He heard the girl take a step forward once, the footstep of her boot quite loud on the metal floor.
"Rebecca Chambers reporting for dut-" She stopped.
"Chris? Chris Redfield?"
