Mission #1...
(1) Secure Arklay Mansion
(2) Find & Evaluate Security Operatives
"Officer Hell, I need your assistance involving The Hive. Meet your team at Headquarters in exactly one hour and you will be briefed on the matter. Understood? Do not do anything outrageous, dangerous, or stupid. Do I make myself clear?"
"….Don't talk to me like I'm fucking three, Cain! Are you kidding me!? You want me to work with the two people I want to kill right now. Are you insane, do you lack common sense? Gasoline and fire makes a big BOOM!"
"Isabella! I do not have the time nor patience for your childish –"
"Childish?! Seriously!? Don't start that busy bullshit with me, Timothy! If you really want this issue resolved then put me with another team or send them without me! I refuse to deal with that lousy-ass vagina busting so-called best friend and that cheating –"
"I will never have a reason to care about you love life, Isabella. If you do not complete this mission, your payment will be reduced in half and I will give you no vacation time. I will also restrict your freedom privileges, Isabella. Remember you're still on probation." My right eyebrow twitched at his condescending and mocking tone, I could just picture the smirk on his weasel face.
Urg! That asshole! He knows I need the money. Wait 'til I get my hands around his throat!
"Gosh, you're such an ass!" I shouted, slamming the phone down and dropping it on the counter with a sign. I stared heatedly at it while my kitten gave me a nonchalant look before licking his paw and my Siberian Husky titled his head to the side. I closed my hands into fists while controlling my anger, taking deep breaths; I took a shot of Vodka and snatched my keys from the table, muttering "fucking bastard" as I grabbed my things and headed to the door..
"I'll be back. King, you better not destroy anything! And Knight….just use the litter box." I shouted over my shoulder, while King looked away from while barking, Knight just stared at me. I walked outside and instantly grinned when I saw my black and white stripped Audi A4 glowing from awesomeness in front of me.
"You look so incredibly beautiful today, Ari." I said, patting my baby on the hood and climbing in before I backed out and shot towards the workplace, humming to my i-Pod, particulary "Back and Forth" by Aaliyah and Rihanna's "Cockiness" while flicking off the drivers that pissed me off.
Reaching Headquarters, I turned off the car and headed inside, I was about thirty minutes early and hopefully she wouldn't be in the locker rooms. I headed inside the special personnel room that only the Umbrella Biohazard Countermeasure Service and several of the Umbrella Commando clean-up crew knew about which happened to be the group I was assigned to.
"Well, look who's here. It's the malen'kaya ledi." Nicholai Ginovaef, a Russian soldier who's apart of the UBCS, greeted me as he mockingly bowed and smiled, Carlos Olivera, a Latino man who was also a part of the UBCS and the leader of his squad, shook his head at his second-in-command. Nicholai likes to believe he and I have some "sexual tension" going on but in reality I just like fucking with his head and teasing him for the hell of it, I'm a bit of a sadist I guess.
"Nicholai, I doubt she appreciates being called little." Carlos partly scolded as I let a small smile grace my face as I watched them. The room had about eight other occupants since it was a bit bigger than the size of a university classroom.
"It's alright, Los; I read in a magazine once that men who constantly picks on a woman's height is either hiding the fact that he is homosexual or insecure about his own height or maybe how small their dick is." I teased, looking at my nails as I heard Carlos bust into laughter as Nicholai spit out the water he was drinking before he glared at me. The other people in the room were trying to hide their laughter or gasping out how vulgar I responded, get use to it.
Of course, that was complete bullshit.
"What!?"
"I'm just kidding. You're so gullible, Nic." I replied, giving him an innocent look. He smirked, stepping closer to me as his hand hit the wall beside my head to which I simply titled my head to the side and stared at him with an amused smile on my face.
Men are so sensitive!
"If you ever want to know the true then you know where to reach me." He whispered, his Russian accent leaking through as he leaned down closer to me. I stared into his piercing green eyes – which fondly reminded me of Alice, before grabbed his neck to pull him closer.
"Maybe if I didn't like women so much but who knows I might take you up on that offer," I whispered in his ear, grabbing his groin – Carlos's and the other occupants of the room mouths dropped as Nicholai bit his lip, "but you're not my type and I was just kidding. Have sweet dreams tonight." I finished, patting his cheek and walking away towards the girl's locker room with a devious smirk on my face.
As soon as I walked inside, a familiar voice called out, "Hey! If anyone's here, mind helping me with this hair bow thing, it's a piece of crap." I signed quietly as I had an internal battle with myself.
If I don't help her, she'll just search around and find me but if I help her she'll probably try to start shit with me. Decisions, decisions.
Swiftly, I turned a couple corners to see her back facing me as she failed to gather her hair into a ponytail. I slapped her hands away while taking the hair bow; delicately I collected her silky locks of ink and pulled it into a ponytail at the base of her neck while letting two stubborn strands of her hair to frame her face. Quickly, I finished doing her hair and found my locker, ignoring her as she thanked me. Cringing, as it squeaked open, I grabbed my clothes and headed towards the bathroom stalls located on the other side of the room. I was halfway pulling off my shirt when I noticed her staring at me from above in the next stall.
"You suck at securing the area." She teased, her strand covering her left eye as she titled her head with a smirk on her face.
"Jeaz! What the hell are you doing!?" I hissed, pulling my shirt back down.
"Just enjoying the scenery." I scoffed, swiftly taking my shirt off. My mid-back length curly mess of browns and a touch of blonde fell a bit more than halfway down my bare back. I peered through thick bangs to look at her with a fire in my eyes.
"How long have you been watching me?" I questioned through gritted teeth.
"The entire time. Can't say I was disappointed." She said, as her smirk grew larger.
Is she trying to be funny?
"Can you leave?" I asked, giving her another glare but she simply stared at me.
"Have you been eating?" She asked, randomly. Then it clicked, my uniform was noticeably baggier on me now. I mentally groaned in annoyance as I turned away from her in an attempt to dress in peace.
Why ask a question when she already knows why!?
"What?"
"Have you been eating, Hal?" She repeated, annunciating each word. "Hal" was a nicknamed I was given a few years ago by her, she told me it was a combination of my surname "Hell" and "Gal". Nicholai jokingly use to call me the "Girl from Hell" when I went into "assassin mode" whatever that means. I always thought it was stupid and I hate when people called me that.
"Stop calling me that! It's none of your business." I almost shouted, pulling my hair into a messy bun, allowing small curly strands to fall from the updo and frame my face. I sighed when she started talking again.
"Don't give me that shit." She said in disbelief.
"Then leave me the fuck alone, Rain! Shit!" I replied, slamming the stall door shut and storming out of the bathroom, of course she had to follow me before I could realize it, I was slammed against the lockers. Of course, not only was I smaller than her in body size (though I had C Cups) but she was also taller than me by four-inches, isn't that just fucking great? She stared down at me as her breath mingled with mine but I managed to keep my gaze away from her lips and glared deeply into her onyx eyes.
"Rain –" I started but she cut me off quickly.
"Why aren't you eating?" Her voice was slow and sharp as like a sad melody, I resisted the urge to close my eyes and listen to it.
"You know why, what's the point in asking such a stupid question, Ocampo?" I said with no emotion in my voice not even anger. Her face fell before her glare intensified and I was slammed harder into the locker as I tried to walk away. She dodged my fist when I tried to punch her before she had me back against the lockers again, which only pissed me off even more.
Damnit!
"That's low, Hal. Really fucking low." She growled, I snatched my arm away from her grasp and pushed her away forcefully.
"Who cares!? You asked, don't get pissed because I told the truth. Now move." I almost scoffed but managed to remain indifferent as I stared at her.
"I'm not done with this conversation." She whispered, her voice was rough but smooth. I closed my eyes and looked away from her to keep my body and mind sane before swiftly turning to face at her.
"I don't care what you want. I'm done your bullshit – I'm over you. You made your choice already, remember - three months ago on our anniversay, hm? Why don't you go found you're little boy toy and leave me the fuck alone? That's sounds fucking fantastic about now." My facial expression was a combination of indifference with an edge of sadness, thankfully she didn't notice the latter emotion as her face grew hard as she glared at me with those dark eyes. I almost cringed when her hand made contact with the metal beside my head, pretty much denting it and I felt sorry for it, as her dark eyes locked with my honey brown ones. I felt the tears collect in the corners of my eyes but pushed them back and kept a brave face on as I mentally and emotionally battled with myself.
I really don't mean it…Rain. I just don't want to deal with this.
"You know what?! I think I just might do that just to piss you off!" Rain shouted, I almost flinched when she screamed those words and my chest felt numb and bitter. I could see the hurt, anger, and disbelief in her face and voice as she stormed out of the girls' locker room and out the back door while flicking me off in the process which I returned wholeheartedly but for entirely different reasons.
"Too late! I've been pissed since I got the stupid call. Have fun fucking your toy!" I retorted, childishly. The sound of two doors slamming shut echoed through the locker room before it grew dead quiet. I could almost bet my Audi that Carlos and the others heard our little exchange. I groaned and slapped my forehead.
Just what I need - gossip.
"This is just fucking great." I half-whispered and yelled to myself. A voice from behind me spoke causing me to jump a foot in the air as I turned to face the speaker.
"Lover's quarrel?" Olga Danilova, the former Russian soldier and current Medic of my team, questioned with an eyebrow raised.
"We're not together anymore." I almost snapped. But she couldn't have known that because three months prior after I found out about them, I almost had to threaten Cain to allow me to transfer to Carlos's squad until now that is.
"Ah, I see." She commented, dryly. I rolled my eyes. Most people thought Olga was completely serious and emotionless when in reality she was probably one of the most sarcastic and understanding people I have ever encountered.
"She really knows how to piss you off." She teased in her accent.
"Don't start." I almost pleaded.
"When are you going to stop this childish game, Hal?" I scowled at the nickname before thinking over the question.
"I really do like Alice, she's more relaxed and laid-back then – plus I don't know. I'm just naturally connected with her." I answered, shrugging while putting on my vest.
"Ocampo sees her as a challenge or obstacle to regain your affection and attention." Was the response after a few minutes of silence, I looked at her in disbelief.
"You're insane, there's no way. She made her choice, now she has to deal with it." I replied, giving her a bewildered and freak out look before the demon herself stuck her head into the room.
"One says it's time to move, people!" She shouted, before slamming the door shut. My eye twitched before I looked at Olga.
"You call that jealousy?" I asked, incredulously.
"Perhaps." She answered with a knowing smile.
"Interesting. Is that how Russians show affection for one another?" I teased. She looked almost thoughtfully for a couple seconds before answering.
"No, usually we just punch each other."
"You're joking right?" I raised an eyebrow, earning another smile from the mysterious Russian.
"Maybe."
"Urg! Let's just get this shit over with." Both of us strolled out the locker room and into the equipment room, suddenly facing the other members of the team after three months was a bit unsettling but I managed to hide my discomfort.
"Ah, Hal. It's great to see you, the group has been – preoccupied without you." One greeted which caused me to raise an eyebrow, half catching his double meaning behind the words.
"Great, not you too. Have you been making up nicknames for me behind my back while I was gone? And thanks, I think." I answered, looking at him suspiciously.
"Mind helping me with these?" Olga questioned.
"Sure thing." I shrugged, without another word we gathered all her medical supplies as well as a few firearms. Within three minutes, all her things were loaded on the Blackwing and after I was finished with her, I decided to help Twelve and Kaplan with their computer gadgets, Warner with his weapons, and even helped One with his supplies before he ordered me away.
"Go help, Rain," I bite my lip to keep my mouth shut when he grabbed my wrist, "and no fighting, Isabella." I glared at him and pulled away.
"Great, so Cain's having you babysit me." I groaned before walking away.
"Isabella-"
"Yeah, yeah. Play nice, I got it." I answered, not even turning to look at him. Without a word, I gathered all of her equipment and loaded it on the copter and ignored her as she looked at me strangely.
"What are you doing?"
"My job." I commented back, not taking my eyes off of the gear when her hand shot out and wrapped around my wrist. My head snapped up to face her when I noticed our faces were barely a couple inches apart.
"Rain, what the fuck are you doing?" I hissed, trying to back away but she only leaned closer.
"I hate when you ignore me." She whispered, from the corner of my eye I noticed that J.D was staring at us. I snapped out of it and pulled away from her, not even glancing in her direction before I moved away.
"Don't forget those." I pointed to her favorite handguns before making my way towards One and the others. I saw J.D walk over to Rain after I had left and forced myself not to care.
"Permission to debrief the team, Sir?" I questioned, One nodded his head in permission.
"Four hours ago, the Red Queen's systems went haywire and she turned homicidal. The mission is to shut her down, find any survivors, and any possible explanation. We have a total of three hours to complete this mission and return to the surface. Understand?" I questioned, glancing from Olga to Kaplan purposely avoiding Rain and J.D's gazes, everyone answered in the uniformed fashion.
"Wonderful." I gave a fake cheeky smile and stepped down. One informed us of the map details and our positions on this mission; given that I was an alternate I could be any position including the mission leader in case something happened to One which I doubt since he was a very capable leader, surprisingly enough Kaplan was next in line after me. As soon as he finished, we loaded into the aircraft and headed towards Arklay Mountains. Luckily, I was the co-pilot while Kaplan was the pilot so I didn't have to deal with Rain. There were also two more pilots who were there to take control of the copter after we landed.
"How have you been, Izzy?" Kaplan tried to make conversation.
"Same as usual, Kappie." I relied, peering down at the darkening scenery. I could feel two pairs of eyes on the back of my neck but we were far enough that they couldn't hear us and our whispering voices only helped.
"I'm glad to have you back, the others - aren't so friendly." He greeted, I stared at him for a few seconds before grinning.
"How cute. Kappie missed me." Which caused him to blush as I laughed quietly to myself. We held down a conversation until I spotted a familiar head of fair-hair and a small smile broke on my face.
"Kap, land on the roof. Johnson, Carter! Get ready!" I shouted, not looking over my shoulder as Kaplan and I prepared to switch over the craft, I noticed Alice and an unknown male headed inside the building.
"Alright, everyone. Lock and load." One commanded.
"Put on your masks. We don't know if the defenses gases are still activated." Olga said. Rain, Warner, One, and Twelve went first as we allowed Johnson and Carter to take control.
"Is-"
"Don't call me that." I responded, not even looking at him.
"But-" I whirled around to face him.
"I do not want to hear your bullshit. Just drop it; we have a mission to complete." I snapped, putting on my helmet as I secured my hook on the edge of the helicopter and made sure my rope was tight.
"Move it." I said, before jumping out – breaking the glass out of the window before ejecting from the rope and got into position to see that Rain had the unknown assailant pinned to the ground as Alice stood by One.
"Area clear, there is no gas present in the mansion." Olga called before all of us except Rain took our masks off. I immediately locked eyes with Alice who stared at me as if she recognized me but didn't know from where. I smirked at her, walking closer.
"Hello, Sleeping Beauty. Don't remember me, huh?" I asked, as I stood in front of her.
"You look –" She was cut off by One.
"Who are you?" One questioned the bound man.
"I told you, I'm a cop!" One snatched his badge and tossed it at Kaplan who caught it.
"I'm not finding him on record." Kaplan replied, shaking his head. One pulled out his sidearm and pointed at his head which caused Alice to tense up and look at him in disbelief, I sighed in annoyance and boredom.
"I'm only going to ask one more time."
"My name is Matthew Addison! I'm new – they probably don't even have me on file yet!" One raised an eyebrow at Kaplan.
"The locals are efficient." The computer wizard shrugged.
"Should I secure him here, Sir?" Rain questioned with her gun pointed at Matthew, I rolled my eyes.
"No, we'll take him with us. He may not be alone." One said, before looking at the rest of us, "Prepare for entry into The Hive." I walked forward only to be held back by Alice, I titled my head to the side as I looked at her.
"Is?" A bright smile graced my face.
"The one and only." I commented, teasingly. Alice raised an eyebrow and I had a sudden urge to hug the older and taller woman.
She's just too cute sometimes.
"She remembers you?" One asked, in disbelief. I smirked, smugly.
"I'm hard to forget." Glancing over my shoulder at him, I could feel Rain's glare on Alice and I which I ignored. Gently taking the blonde's hand, I gave her a sweet smile which she shockingly returned.
"Let's go, Alice. "
This is a re-telling of LitheBunnyQ's Rain Ocampo story, and yes I have received permission and support from her.
The first couple chapters will look similar to hers but with some major differences for instance the character name and personality.
Yes, Alice and Is are currently "dating" but they are not official. Alice and Rain are around 27-28 while Is is only 25.
Note: Her "full name" is Isabella Lillian Elizabeth Hell.
I will really appreciate any kind of feedback.
I'm probably not going to be able to update until the end of September, I'm pretty much working anywhere from 12-16 hour days for the first two weeks not to mention school.
