Resident Evil: Amy's Cause

Chapter 3 Calling All Leads

Amy woke to a ray of sunshine reaching her face through a slit in the curtains on her bedroom window. Her eyes watered slightly as the sunlight landed on them but she turned away and sat up her back warmed by the sun.

She yawned and stretched her arms high above her head and as she dropped them her eyes landed on the folder containing her daughter's update. She hesitated for half a second and glanced at the clock, she had half an hour before she had to meet the rest of her team.

She sat down at her small desk and slowly opened the folder her eyes immediately falling on the picture. Every week they sent her new pictures of her daughter, every single one she had ever received was in her photo album next to her bed.

Her daughter had emerald green eyes and shoulder length chestnut brown hair. She was average height and hadn't begun to form a figure yet. Amy placed the photo aside and looked for the medical report. Her eyes skimmed over it, apparently Tanya had been running a fever for a few hours but it had passed no diagnosis as to why.

She turned to the scientific report her heart disappearing completely. Her daughter had been injected with the T-virus from the moment she was conceived and at the time Amy hadn't known but luckily it didn't seem to affect her as far as she could tell. However the report told otherwise.

Subject shows increased signs of brain activity; learning rate is beyond past hypothesis. Heightened awareness but human strength, increased senses as well.

Amy shook her head; while she was glad her daughter had become so amazing she wished she had done it naturally not by chemicals introduced into her body. She tossed the folder and its contents aside and quickly got dressed; her first meeting began in ten minutes.

Five minutes later she was on her way to the conference room in the west wing of the conference hall. She entered seconds before the clock struck ten a.m and turned to find four of the strangest people looking at her.

There was one woman her black hair was cut short and hung limply just below her ear, her eyes were pale gray and her skin looked like it had been stretched over something far to large for it. She wore a black business suit and wide framed glasses that perched on her long nose.

The man to her left had bright blue hair and a nose ring his green eyes danced as he watched her. The other two men looked exactly alike both had short-cropped hair with dark sunglasses and dark suits.

Amy smiled weakly and moved to sit down at the head of the table her eyes straying to look at them all again. "Well I guess we should get started then huh?" a voice asked as the owner entered the room. Amy froze her heart beating faster anger flooding her face; she turned to face Jerry who was looking her up and down with a satisfied look on his face.

"YOU!" she hissed her voice low, her dislike obvious. "Of course." he replied simply moving towards the table and sitting down next to her seat. Amy took a deep breath to calm her self and turned to face her team again. "Right well, let's start by introducing ourselves." she said struggling to remain calm.

The long nosed woman sneered, "What are we in the second grade?" Amy's eyes flashed and she turned to the woman a sickening sweet smile on her face. "No but if you like I can arrange for that to be your next job after your fired for insubordination!"

Everyone looked at her shock on their faces and the woman shook her head and rolled her eyes, "Whatever, My name is Prudence Marit." she said her voice filled with disgust. The blue-haired man spoke up next, "Kyle Sandoval, at your service." This remark got a slight grin out of Amy but she shook it off and turned to the other two who remained silent.

"We are Thomas and Michael Roderick." the one on the left stated his voice cold and his eyes hidden behind his sunglasses, as were his brothers. Amy watched them for a few seconds and then turned to the papers in front of her. "And you are?" Prudence asked snidely.

"My name is Amy Sanders, and I am the boss of this little team and since I have to put up with you I expect TOTAL dedication and respect, get it?" Amy asked her voice harsh and demanding. "Got it." Kyle said with a grin. "Good." she replied trying not to smile at him, of all her team she knew she liked him best.

"What about me?" Jerry whispered in her ear. She jumped away glaring at him angrily, "Introduce yourself but not in my ear." she said coldly. Kyle snickered and Jerry glared at him harshly. "Right, My name is Jerry Minkintie." he said daring any of them to say anything when no one did he sat back with a satisfied smirk on his face.

Amy sighed and shook her head, "Alright now let's get down to business. First off we need to collect any information on sightings of the targets, then we have to go through each and every one to single out the ones that could or are true. So get to it." she said handing them their first assignment and standing up to leave.

They stared at her and finally Kyle spoke up, "That it?" Amy turned to face them again, "Yes that is it for now. We meet again, same time tomorrow to discuss what we find." she replied before leaving the room her heart heavy but determined.
