Illegal Deeds

Chris Redfield gazed at the computer screen, his head throbbing. Umbrella's computers were almost impossible to hack through. He had spent at least seventeen hours a day trying to break the codes to get in to the central core, but it was in vain.

"Face it," Chris said to Barry Burton, who was walking up to him from behind. "Our technology isn't as advanced as theirs is."

"But you managed to get through some of the fire walls," Barry stated.

"Yeah, but the information I scrounged up is worthless. All I could get was names and dates of the new employees, and I haven't heard of any of them. We need to get deeper into their data to find out how we can infiltrate their headquarters."

"Chris, we have to find out WHERE their headquarters are first. You're getting a head of yourself again," the older man chuckled.

"Yeah, yeah, I know..." grumbled Chris, typing some more.

"Any luck?" asked Jill Valentine.

"Nada," replied Chris. "Any word from Leon?"

Jill shook her head. "No.... He hasn't responded to any of our messages. Claire's getting antsy."

"Great... She's barely gotten over Steve, and now Leon...." He rubbed his head in annoyance. The lack of decent sleep and now this was getting to him. "Barry, can you get Rebecca and Ark to make sure she doesn't try to go after him? We'll send in a team to find him if we have to, but I don't want her going alone. Leon's a good man and can take care of himself."

"So can your sister," Jill replied, raising her eyebrow at him as Barry left. "Chris, you gotta realize that your sister isn't three anymore. You saw how she did in Antarctica! She can handle her own." Chris said, this time in defeat. He knew Jill was right and all, but there was still the voice in the back of his head.

"I know, Jill. But, ever since Steve died, she hasn't been the same. She doesn't cry day in and day out, but.. Well... She doesn't talk as much anymore. I'm afraid she might be losing it."

At this, Jill couldn't respond. Shock had overcome her, but she snapped out of it when he began to speak again. "Anyways, Umbrella isn't up to anything big currently, from the bit of info I found. There might be some deep secret operation going on, but we won't know it until we can get into their mainframe. And frankly, I want to find out if there is something going on, because it's too quiet."

Jill nodded. "We need to get some better equipment if we plan on getting in. There's a place south of here that sells some of the best hacking equipment we can get."

"Let me guess. Black market?" Jill grinned. "Well, if you want to get into their HQs...."

"Alright, alright, you win," Chris whined, scooting away from the desk on his roller chair and standing up. "We'll go tomorrow, it's too late now." "Actually, it's bets to go at night. Come on, let's grab Barry and Carlos and go. We have to get into the Underground if we want to reach it.

Mean while, a woman gazed out the glassy window as she sat on the piano stool. The moonlight shown into the Victorian castle and into the cream colored room. With an eerie smile placed along her lips, she daydreamed about what was going to happen, and how she would enjoy it so much. She could hardly wait.

***

That night I noticed that our lady was acting more mysterious than before. I was starting to worry about what she planned. I just hoped that her sick mind wasn't at work again.

Woo! I wrote this all during English class, so it might seem a little icky. Oh well.

To Resident Evil Babe: Hey! Thanks for being my first reviewer and emailing me! I'll try to get those pairings in, but the Leon/Ada one might be a little hard… Sorry. Leon's not going to be in this one much, since he's dealing with the Progenitor virus. : (
