Piers Nivans
I wasn't really napping, just resting my eyes; the thought of how I survived has tainted my thoughts ever since I injected myself with the virus.
Chris was right; I could be saved, and I'm glad I listened to him. I remember it all like it was just yesterday. I couldn't believe I actually injected myself in the first place, I couldn't believe I worked up the balls to injected myself with a deadly toxin like a virus that mutated me into a zombie. Although it gave me incredibly strength, it gave me the most terrible pain I have ever felt in my entire life. After Chris and I had defeated the B.O.W., Chris promised me I'd make it out alive and healed, and he was right. After our escape we were quickly picked up from the middle of the Pacific Ocean by BSAA members and I was taken to a lab where they quickly gave my antibodies and a vaccine. Even though I am still left with a mutation, it's nothing too serious. I had the power to heal myself whenever damage was done to my body; the BSAA found this to be wonderful and despite my dangerous act against myself, I was able to still be able to be a part of the team.
Leon and Chris were having a little chat but I wasn't paying attention, all I heard was Chris talking about Jill; his new wife-to-be. Good for him, really. I've met Jill a time or two and I heard plenty about her and how she used to be Chris' partner. If I do say so myself; she was incredibly hot. Leon was talking about Claire, and from what I knew, was Chris' sister; must be awkward, the guy's best friend is dating his sister. Ouch.
I myself wasn't really seeing anyone; I've hooked up with a couple of girls I've met at the bar, but other than that, I haven't found anyone whose caught my attention or even worth keeping.
After the ride (that seemed to last forever) we had arrived at HQ. I did a little stretch and stepped out of the jeep. I walked up to the building where several people were rushing around computers and papers were being tossed; it seemed like something to be in one of those TV shows. Leon was trailing behind Chris, which left me by Leon's side. I've heard some crazy shit about this guy, and I do say; I'm impressed. His gun skills had me alone, not to mention his hand-eye coordination.
"Nervous Leon?"
"Me? Nah, I'm actually kind of excited. I think I had too much time on my hands before."
"Good to hear, rookie, the BSAA could use a muscular hunk like you." I said jokingly. Leon laughed out loud; glad he had some sense of humor to him.
"Hey, I'll always be working to stop Bio terrorism, and the BSAA is just what I'm looking for."
"Well hopefully we'll be working together."
"Would be my pleasure, Piers."
The whole team was there for the meeting; every single one of us. I must admit I was a little nervous; I had no idea what we were facing.
"I'm sure you all know why you're here." The Chief spoke in a very civil tone. "There's a new threat to the world, but this time, to the United States." There were a few low mummers amongst the crowd. "This time, I think it might be something we can't stop alone." I was starting to worry, why wouldn't we be able to stop this?
"Umbrella has created a new virus that can now spread through water and air. It is immune to any possible vaccine we have right at the moment. It spreads within 24 hours in the human body. Known symptoms are sweating, heavy wheezing, open sores, high temperatures and memory loss. After the symptoms begin to show, it is already too late." How could this be? What were we to possibly do?
Leon looked around the crowd; he seemed like he was already formulating a plan. Chris had his usual scowl on his face, and I was just scared shitless.
"Stopping this virus will be near impossible. I have faith that we can stop it if we play our cards right." The chief rubbed his chin. "We will need to be quick and as discreet as we can. Our first target is at Salt Lake, Utah. You all will be divided into 5 groups of 6. None of you shall leave another man behind"
Chris looked at me and then at Leon; Leon nodded his head and looked over to me. I guess we're a team.
I walked over to Leon.
"Nervous yet, Big Guy?"
"I got this in the bag."
Chris loaded a hand gun and handed it to Leon. ""Take this, I have a feeling you're going to need it for now. We'll get you better equipment later." Leon fondled the gun and laughed; tucking it into the hip of his pants.
I smiled and ran my fingers through my hair, "Well boys it looks like we're on a mission."
