Chapter 3 - The Journey To The Spencer Estate
Upon the two S.T.A.R.S members' arrival at the Arklay Line a lot of press had gotten there before them both and had begun reporting on the huge explosion.
"The cause of the explosion is unknown at this point…" The reporter explained. Then she saw the S.T.A.R.S members and began to run up to them.
"Captain Wesker! Can you answer a few questions for us?"
"Just a moment of your time sir!"
The reporters surrounded Captain Wesker and the Rookie.
"I have no answers at this time only because Officer Ryan and I have only just arrived. Now if you will excuse us we have official S.T.A.R.S work to do. Thank you."
The Captain took the rookie by the hand and took her to the source of the explosion.

"You too! I'll radio you if I find anything!" I continued over the crevice and hopped onto the other side.
"I'm over!" I shouted back to him
"Good girl! See anything?"
"No! I'm going to go further on!"
"Alright! First sign of danger and I'm coming over!"
