CHAPTER 2: May 12

Itching. Rashes. Fevers. Umbrella workers were beginning to quit. And new people were joining not even knowing the terror that was on the horizon. To make matters worse, the secret lab at the Spencer estate had a chemical accident just yesterday. The higher ups told me it was no worry, which my security crew did not need to go and secure the area. The special team there could handle it. But I had my doubts. In my debriefing from Mr. Birkin I was told that the chemical spill had only contaminated a few scientists, and that they will be taken care of. But of course I was not told what kind of chemical it was, weather or not it was dumped into the water supply. I told him that he should do something. The people of Raccoon City could be in danger. But what he told me was shocking. "Don't worry Matthew's, those people in town will be dealt with soon enough". And with that he left, which really pissed me off. His complete and utter disregard for the safety of the people. And especially the population of Raccoon, the town where his wife and daughter lives. Would he harm them too? In his mad ambition for power. And then he remembered Mary. If that bastard would do anything to harm her, he swear he would kill Birkin himself. But for now I would play it cool. Be the good little soldier Umbrella had hired. Now more than ever I was determined to put a stop to Umbrella. If I was to do it, I knew that I couldn't do it alone. I would need some help. And I knew exactly were to get it. The U.B.C.S. Umbrella's own military force. But first I would need to poke around in the organization to see which men could be trusted. I would need to get the word out to the people of Raccoon about Umbrella's plans, but I needed conclusive evidence first. So I had to get into the mainframe of Umbrella's super computer. And being completely illiterate in computers, I would need a hacker. And one man came to my mind when it came to hacking. And that man was Brad Vickers. The impulsive S.T.A.R.S member was somewhat unreliable in the heat of battle, but he could be trusted. That was all I needed. There would be no fighting. I could get him in with my key card, and knew I could persuade the guards there that Brad was just a tech who was there to work on the computer. But there was one small problem. The super computer was down in the labs. The very place I had no desire to go down into. The experiments were kept in cells and the doors were electrified. But I had my worries. But to be on the safe side, I would get some men from my own staff and make sure they are fully equipped. So it was settled. I would storm the facility.
