Chapter 8- Getting there
Olivia looked in the closet, but found nothing but old memories and old boxes. She felt a bittersweet longing for the good old days. The days when nothing was complicated and when everything ran smoothly. Now, everyday was nothing but someone betraying Umbrella or a new radical environmentalist blowing up a facility and killing many innocent people and valuable scientists. There you go again. Keep your head in the game!
Going to the Garden Hallway, Olivia looked around cautiously, gun drawn incase any assholes sneak up. Seeing the coast was clear, she cautiously stepped into the hallway. She snuck carefully around the corner at the end of the hallway leading to the garden. Carefully turning the dark corner, she was relieved that nothing was there. Thank you God! She wasn't going to have to waste anymore bullets. Although she was doing well, You never knew when an extreme situation would be coming. Pays to do undercover work sometimes. It was true; her training in undercover as a STAR defiantly had its pros. Thanks to the STARS, she was able to defend herself and shoot better than ever. Her skills were even above her husband's and second best to Speyer and Redfield's. She had enjoyed four great years in the RPD and STARS. When Olivia was A STAR, she had been Alpha Team's medic because of her pathology background. She was happy that Albert had found a good replacement for her. Her name was Rebecca Chambers and she was supposedly a medical genius. At 18, Ms. Chambers graduated from a prestigious university. Albert said that he put Chambers in BRAVO Team because she was very unsure of herself and very inexperienced. This made Olivia glad that she had decided not to graduate early. She was pressured heavily by her grandfather to graduate at 16 instead of 18 to get an early start. It wasn't that Olivia didn't think she was up to it; on the contrary she was 100% certain she could do it with some hard work. It was that she wanted to be a teenager without the responsibilities of an adult. Besides, she liked her summers. Something that had always embarrassed her was that she was going to be a huge corporate leader, and yet, she wasn't nearly as intelligent as the majority of the scientists she employed! For heaven's sake! She even ran a lab at twenty years old! Every scientist there must have graduated from their universities at the age of twenty. It made her feel so...inferior. Although Olivia would never show it, she had a massive ego and thinking about this always made her angry.
Moving on, Olivia opened the rusty gate to the garden. She was surprised to find three Cerberus dead on the ground. After inspecting them further, she found what looked like a 9mm bullet and ten more shells too. Someone's either a crappy shot or has never picked up a gun until tonight. Well the person wasn't all that bad. He or she had taken one dog out with a single head shot, but still, it would have only taken her three or four to take all three out. If they're a novice, they're okay in my book. With training, they might be a good shot.

Eden had gone through the pavilion, but found three hell dogs and had to split. She thought she was home free until she went through the gate and found the pool blocking her path. Even worse, she didn't have a clue where in the hell the crank could be in order to get across. So Eden swam across, there couldn't be anything that bad in the water. Oh how wrong she was! The water ended up being infested with snakes. Eden's number 1 fear was snakes, so she bolted out of the water, lept in the elevator, jumped out of the elevator as soon as she saw ground, ran through the lanai, then bolted through the path to the residence which was also infested with snakes, and here she was.
Eden felt so unnerved. Snakes, running as fast as she could, and infected dogs trying to bite her ass every time she let her guard down, she just couldn't take it! She pulled a cigarette out of her pocket and lit it. She was trying to not smoke as much, but she REALLY needed one right now. After the first puff, she felt her body calm and her mind clear.

Albert Wesker was a little nervous. He was worried that Olivia might get killed on this mission. Even if she was on par with Chris in shooting and had been trained as a STARS, this mission was tough as hell! He had asked Olivia not to go, but she insisted. She said the mission was far too high profile to allow anyone else to go and they needed to be suspicious of everyone in Umbrella right now, even the older Trent. Wesker was originally given orders to go instead, but that was changed when the higher ups decided to demolish Spencer Mansion and the labs. The situation had become far too out of control and now that the RPD was getting serious about what was going on, Umbrella needed a cover up. Olivia was supposed to go to the mansion and try to save as many assets as possible and then she was to prepare everything for Phase 2. That's where he was supposed to come in.
Wesker smiled to himself. It was going to be fun!
