Every minute of Rebecca's survival was spent thinking and looking for Billy. She wanted so desperately to find the man that completed her, yet it seemed so futile. She hoped with every bone in her body that Billy had found a way to escape. With that positive thought in mind, she snapped back into reality. The R.P.D seemed so much larger now that it was abandoned. There was usually a mess of police officers all over the place, making it difficult to even enjoy the interior design. Rebecca made her way over to the single computer, noting that someone had recently scanned a S.T.A.R.S card and got the combination for the S.T.A.R.S office key in the evidence room.

"DON'T DO THIS!"

It was an unfamiliar cry. Clearly a man's voice by the deepness. Once again driven by her curiosity, Rebecca ran to the wooden double doors in the distance, noting that they closed off the origin. Silently, she made her way into the room, shifting along the bookcases lined up a few feet in front of the door. She peeked through one of the few gaps, and she spotted the familiar figure of Nicholai.

"There's not a reason in the world that could stop me, Hammond," Nicholai said nonchalantly, slightly raising the pistol in his hand.

"WAIT!" The man named Hammond pleaded, but it was futile. Nicholai pulled the trigger without an ounce of regret, and the man was killed. Rebecca swore she saw a smirk cross Nicholai's face, as the Russian mercenary bent down and picked something up off of Hammond's body. Rebecca slowly backed away, planning to catch Nicholai off guard if he came in her direction. Suddenly, there was a strange clicking noise on the window behind her, and she was startled. Rebecca jolted around, knocking over a vase on top of the bookshelf and finding nothing near the window. When she turned back around, she found herself staring into the barrel of Nicholai's gun.

"Well, if it isn't the little S.T.A.R.S girl. How much of that did you hear?" Nicholai then asked sternly.

"I-I didn't hear anything important. I thought you were just rescuing civilians," Rebecca reminded him nervously, intimidated by his ruthlessness.

"I have my own matters to attend to. Ones that will make me rich, and give me a push up over Umbrella," He told her, then smirking, "I'm afraid I must kill you now." Rebecca stared in sadness. Everything she had accomplished, all the land she had covered, it was all for nothing. She would die at the hands of this ruthless mercenary, and for absolutely no cause. Her eyelids joined together, and she waited the inevitable end that would occur. There was a gunshot, and she flinched in terror…was she dead? Hesitantly, she opened her eyes, only to find Nicholai quickly limping past her and out through the doors. Suddenly, an all too familiar figure came into view.

"Billy!" Rebecca shouted with awe, running up to the well-armed man. He opened his arms, wrapping them around her as tears of joy streamed down her face.

"It's okay, Rebecca. I'm here now," He comforted her, running one hand behind her head.

"But how? What've you been doing this whole time?" Rebecca asked him curiously, then noting the arrival of another man. "Leon, you're here," Rebecca acknowledged him warmly.

"It's a long story, but I saved this guy's life," Billy bragged jokingly. Leon smirked, nodding in agreement.

"I was surrounded by a bunch of those…zombies, when Billy here showed up and started popping skulls," Leon explained quite whole-heartedly, shrugging.

"That's an understatement," Billy joked, then staring back into Rebecca's eyes. "Listen, there's an emergency chopper on the helipad. We need to get our asses out of here," He explained, then grabbing Rebecca's hand. She only nodded, and followed the two men. They reached a stairwell, heading up one level to encounter a group of zombies. The three fired simultaneously, until the score of monsters was down. They continued moving professionally, making sure they weren't caught off-guard for any reason. Rebecca then led them in a sprint, bursting through the door to the roof with more joy than ever. She smiled in relief as she saw the approaching helicopter, and she dropped to her knees.

The only thing that had kept Rebecca going was the image of seeing Billy again. She was tired, hungry, thirsty, and wounded, but she was finally with the man she loved. She had only dropped in exhaustion, but Billy quickly helped her get to her feet. The helicopter was about to set down, when something pierced the glass…

"Get down!" Leon shouted, causing Billy and Rebecca to take cover behind the entrance. She peered around the corner, only to spot the familiar figure of Wesker on the adjacent rooftop…

"No!" Rebecca shouted in anger, then raising her gun and shooting towards him ferociously. She emptied a clip before she pulled back behind the entrance. She quickly changed clips, looking around for something to do. Leon had ran for the fire escape, and he was long gone. Wesker had fled, worried Rebecca would continue to fire madly. He had done what he intended, and he was pleased with himself.

Rebecca and Billy quickly ran back into the building, stopping at a familiar hallway on the second floor. The hallway was absolutely dull, similar to the second basement beneath the Hospital. The only thing that brought life to the lengthy corridor was the emblem of S.T.A.R.S. It was placed right beside the door to their office. Rebecca led Billy in, switching on the lights as she was struck by a million memories.

"Well then, Miss Chambers, welcome to the team,"

"It's nice to know I'm not the only woman anymore,"

"C'mon, Rebecca, join the Alpha team for lunch, heh,"

"Rebecca…are you okay?" Billy asked her, placing a comforting hand on her shoulder…
