Diary Entry # 30

August 9th 2013

Today is the day the team moves out to find Berkley and his group of survivors. The first place we would be checking is in Ventor Town where he was last seen. Knowing how smart he is, he's probably already figured out that we're coming for him and has already moved somewhere else to get off the radar. It wasn't hard to imagine that he would be very difficult to find even with our much more advanced technology. Still...he's a very confident man and he's bound to make a mistake somewhere along the lines.

I'm hopeful that I do not have to take very long on this assignment; Selina has suffered enough on my account and now that Velks finally found the method to curing her pain, I need to make sure that this gets done...I know its not right for me to care about her so much considering that I legally am not obliged to do anything but...she's all I have. After my brother passed two years ago from cancer and my mother being in the safe haven of China, she's the closest thing I have to family at the moment. I could only imagine the suffering she endured after her mother passed away.

Its not like I had much going on until Velks recruited me into his ranks...I was a guy who took the world on as it came on a daily basis. I didn't have any friends apart from Ernie and a few subordinates who I had gotten close to after years of work together. No one however was really worthy of noting as I kept everyone at an arms length because the kind of work that I do pretty much makes it difficult for me to get attached to people because I had no idea if I would ever see them again. It was part of the job description that came with being Umbrella's top military strike team leader.

Velks discovered me after examining my military record and personally invited me to work for him over dinner at a fancy restaurant. I was skeptical at first after having read about the first outbreak that caused the obliteration of Raccoon City but he managed to convince me otherwise. Obviously I was mistaken but I couldn't back out because Selina's bond with the virus...that Berkley applied to her DNA. I'm going to make that son of a bitch pay for what he did to her...

I still couldn't believe that my best friend would do something like that...especially to someone I care so much about. I had no idea how I became friends with such a class A prick but we had many beer nights, me playing wingman for whatever woman he wanted in the bar and we worked on projects together. Sometimes I wondered if he faked all of our fun together just to get what he wanted...but even he wouldn't do something so horrible...would he? I could only imagine because I would never be able to ask him considering my mission is to remove him from this world along with all of his research. This however brings me back to Ernie's point about the virus being a bad thing and a cure could improve the world as a whole...especially since many people have lost family or more to it. I suppose I didn't think too much about that side because all I have is Selina.

I certainly hope I made some good choices for the team. Cole certainly seems like the dependable type and considering his reputation as the Huntsman, he seems like the perfect choice for our long range specialist; he could probably shave the wings off a fly given the tools. Felicia is definitely someone I'm going to have to get used to; her distrust of everyone and her cold blooded hatred for all British people makes it extremely problematic...especially since my time there has caused me to develop somewhat of an accent. Diane is definitely the easiest amongst the squad to get along with considering her welcome yet slightly disturbing enthusiasm.

Will make note of everything as it comes.

Tarik.
