Leon slipped his arm around Jill's waist as he slowly lifted her off of the ground. Her knees were

weak and she could barely keep herself standing upright. She gazed around the small room.

Everything was still kind of blurry. "Jill, are you okay," Leon asked, struggling to keep her on

her feet. "What did they do to you?" She gazed at Leon, trying to remember what happened,

but she just couldn't concentrate. "I...I don't remember," she said, lowering her eyes. Then

something suddenly flashed in her mind.

FLASH

Jill remembered herself standing in the kitchen with the phone pressed against her ear. She didn't

remember who she was talking to, but she knew it was important. That was when she felt it.

That sinking feeling in the pit of her stomach. That bone-chilling breeze that she only felt when

she knew something wasn't right. She spun around, still holding the phone close to her ear and

realized that her front door was wide open, the wind forcing it to sway back and forth.

FLASH

Jill suddenly snapped back to reality. The back of her head began to throb but she ignored it.

"Someone broke into my house," She said, once again gazing at Leon. "They broke into my

house when I least suspected it," she said, pulling away from Leon and leaning against the wall.

She could tell by the expression on his face that for some reason he was confused. What he

didn't understand was why Jill was so out of it. She could barely keep herself from passing out.

But it wasn't just Jill. Kevin couldn't keep conscious for more then five minutes. Leon glanced

at Kevin who lay deathly still on the cold cement floor. Both Kevin and Jill didn't look too good,

but he felt perfectly fine. "What did umbrella do to them," he thought. "And what the hell are

they planning to do with me."

Claire walked into the S.T.A.R.S office hoping that Barry hadn't gone on his lunch break yet.

She desperately needed to talk to him. She scanned the office, praying that she would spot him,

but she was out of luck. There were too many people in the office and it seemed impossible to

find him. She made her way toward a young woman who was peacefully working at her desk.

"Excuse me," Claire began, as the woman looked up from her desk. "Hi...um...I'm looking for

Barry Burton, I can't seem to find him anywhere," Claire said, noticing the S.T.A.R.S emblem

on the side of her shirt. "Barry's in a meeting right now, but he should be done any minute," the

woman replied. Claire stared down at her desk. She kept it pretty neat despite the heavy load

of paperwork. "Your Redfield's sister right," the woman asked, shoving her paperwork to the

side. "Yeah. Have we met before?" Claire asked, as the woman stood up from her desk. "No,

you and your brother just look alike. It's not hard to tell you and him are related," she replied,

walking around her desk toward Claire. "She seems too young to be a S.T.A.R.S member,"

Claire thought. The way she kept her hair cut short made her look even younger. "I'm Rebecca

Chambers, Bravo team's one and only medic," she said cheerily, as she reached out to give

Claire a handshake. "Claire Redfield," she said, as she shook Rebecca's hand. "So your bravo

team's medic?" Claire asked curiously. "Yep. I was recruited at 18. I'm only 20 and I'm

already a professional," she replied proudly. Claire couldn't believe it. Rebecca was a year

younger than her and she already had a far better career then your average 20 year old.

Rebecca gazed over Claire's shoulder when she noticed that the meeting was over. "Oh, there

he goes right now," Rebecca said, as she pointed at him over Claire's shoulder. Claire turned

and followed her gaze, finally spotting Barry. She turned to Rebecca, who was still focused on

the people exiting the conference room. Rebecca turned to Claire and smiled. Claire forced a

smile trying not to make it so obvious that everything in her life right at that moment was screwed

up. They both jumped up when a man hurried into Rebecca's office. "Rebecca, you have a call

on line one," he said, before he hurried right back out of the office. Rebecca hurried around the

desk and picked up the receiver. "Good afternoon, Rebecca Chambers speaking." Claire

turned once again and when she spotted Barry, she quickly made her way toward him before he

disappeared again. Once she was by his side, she grabbed his arm, finally getting his attention.

He turned to her and smiled. "Hey Claire," he greeted, putting his free hand on her shoulder.

"Hey Barry. Um...can we talk," she said softly. Barry turned to his team and then turned back to

her. "Sure," he replied, as they made their way out of the office and outside the building. Once

they were outside, Claire began to tell Barry everything. "They took Leon," she said, noticing

the confused expression on Barry's face. "What?" he replied. "They took Leon," she repeated,

trying her best not to shout. "Who? Who took Leon?" he asked. She turned to him.

"UMBRELLA," she said. "Umbrella's back and they want revenge."
