Resident Evil Rebirth
Chapter 2: The Bravo Team
-Raccoon Police Department
-8:50 PM July 23rd 1998
It seemed like an ordinary day as Captain Albert Wesker found himself walking into the main hall of the Raccoon Police Department the doors gently closing behind him. The Captain of Alpha Team nodded to the receptionist as he walked away from the main doors. He was a real piece of work to most of the RPD, he always wore all black, was continually intimidating, and always wore shades and kept his hair slicked back. This style had earned him the title of 'Iceman' for obvious reasons. He was the only member of his team present as the secondary team was going in first.
Before he entered the double doors that would go into the waiting room he noticed somebody standing on the balcony of the second floor that overlooked the main hall. It was Bravo team officer, Rebecca Chambers. She was the newest to the Bravo Team by about two months and seemed really out of place as she was an early collage graduate about the age of eighteen. She was visably nervous as this was after all going to be her first mission. She had standard training of course but still was inexperianced and probobly not suited to the mission ahead. Tracking down a group of cannibal killers and bringing them to justice. He just aknowledged this and walked on.
Rebecca looked down at her uniform which stood out from the other members of Bravo Team, a green uniform with a white vest that basicly showed she was the teams medic as well another officer. She would be leaving in less than twenty minutes on the first mission, she didn't know why she was here. She aspired to become a scientist but for some reason was seeked out by the captain of Alpha Team and promised if she could prove herself she would be able to move on in the world. She placed a hand on her side, a holster held a six chamber colt service pistol. A welcoming gift from STARS Bravo Team. She sighed and walked off.
Jill Valentine meanwhile stood down the hall from the STARS office in the snack room with Richard Aiken who had been a good friend of her's since high school. She was dressed casually as she was just there to wish the Bravo's off, however he had most of his gear on already and a STARS Custom Assault Shotgun across his back. "Well Jill, we're off." he said sharply.
"Your going now?" Jill said surprised "Yeah. The Cheif just gave us the okay, Bravo Teams mobilizing. So while you Alphas sit around making plans, we're gonna go kick some cannibal ass!" Richard announced chuckling slightly. Richard scoffed mentally 'Yeah right. We look for signs and by the time we actually find them Alpha would be mobelizing.' he thought.
Jill smiled hitting him in the shoulder lightly "Well just be sure to watch your own ass alright." she warned with a slight giggle. Richard gave a thumbs up "No problem. Ain't gonna let no sick freak try and eat me." he pumped the shotgun and walked into the STARS Team office.
Jill looked at the office door "I could have sworn the operation was supposed to take place in three days." another voice rang out from behind. A southern accent spoke "Change of plans Marie. Looks like us Bravos have the first bite of the pie but don't worry I'll save ya some crust." Jill turned to see Forest Spyer, in full gear. She groaned at him calling her by her middle name.
Side pack, fingerless gloves, black vest with a skull on it and his grenade launcher. Forest chuckled as he strutted, trying to showing off "Yeah check it out. I am the ultiment badass. You do not wanna mess with me." suddenly Enrico came up slapping him in the back of his head "Shut up and move it. You can make an idiot of yourself when we catch the perpetrators." Forest got serious nodding before he moved down the hall "Don't worry about Alpha Team Jill. I'll save you guys some." he disappeared through the same door as Richard. Jill looked at the Captain of Bravo Team "Enrico. Why did Wesker give you the go ahead. I mean doesn't this take planning?" she asked. Enrico shrugged as he tightened the sides of his black flank vest which read 'Expect Anything' on the back "He says he has sources that say something will go down. We both know he knows his connections." Jill nodded saluting the other officer who responded the same way before moving on.
Jill Valentine deciding that she wasn't needed as those at the RPD would be keeping track of them via radio. But something wasn't right about all this for some reason the rule about them not being able to go in unless nobody was heard from for 24 hours or until assistance was requested had stuck out to her lately. As she turned to walk away she bumped right into Wesker. The force he walking sent her back but he caught her by the wrist before she could fall. Jill nodded a thanks to her superior.
Wesker crossed his arms "What are you still doing here Valentine. If I recall you, Redfield and Frost were going somewhere later on." he said a little annoyed she was still around when she was off duty. Jill nodded "Thats not for another hour. I was leaving and noticed the chopper on the roof was warming up." Wesker walked past her.
He scoffed slightly "Yeah. Irons wants this operation done by the end of the week. Anything to build his name up." Jill chuckled slightly. Wesker was often serious but always found time to make a funny when it was about Irons. But he was right, the guy wanted to be Mayor and he was gaining popularity. Jill nodded before heading out "Well, I'll be leaving then." Wesker nodded before entering the STARS office. Jill headed back downstairs.
All of the Bravo Team was in the STARS Office minus Kevin Dooley who was getting the chopper ready for lift off. They all sat at their desk their weapons of choice with them. Richard sat next to Rebecca looking over his Custom Assault Shotgun, Rebecca however was really nervous. Enrico had a MAC11 Sub-Machine Gun with him. Forest had his Revolving Cylinder Grenade Launcher with him which could do some real damage. Edward Dewey however only carried a Glock 18 with him but it was modified and extreamly powerful. Kenneth Sulivan, didn't carry a personal weapon he just stuck to his Beretta.
Wesker walked in and to his desk stapping a folder on the desk getting everybody's attention, he groaned "Alright people. You all know why your here. Your leaveing in fifteen minutes for the forest on the outskirts of the city. As you know several of these cases have been taking place around there. Marini what are your tactics?" he asked.
Enrico stood up "Sir. We will be departing and will search over the area for any signs of trouble. We will then land near the outskirts and do an extended check over the area. Aiken will be keeping in touch with the RPD and will radio in if anything worth mentioning happens." Wesker nodded as he looked at his watch "Well I have an important appointment to get to. Good hunting." he said. Everybody made their way to the helipad and Wesker watched "Yes. Good luck, your going to need it."
-Over Raccoon Forest(30 minutes later)
-10:07 PM
The Bravo Team flew over the Raccoon Forest their helicopter being piloted by the able Kevin Dooley who wore a pilot helmet. Edward sat along side them intensity in his eyes as they flew. Forest and Enrico went over a weapons check while Rebecca stared out the window. Richard sat along side her and looked at her with concern as she was clearly worried. Kenneth probobly was the only one who wasn't worried as he was sleeping softly. Forest was worried because Joseph Frost had been promoted to Bravo Team and he was the only other well experianced Bravo besides himself and Enrico.
Rebecca looked on breathing softly when Richard looked at her and suddenly held something out for her to take "You should take this. It won't do me much good." he said. Rebecca took the 6-inch survival knife from Richard and smiled. It was obvious they enjoyed one another's company as they were only a few years apart in age. Rebecca placed it in the empty sheath on her belt and smiled at Richard but suddenly the calm nature of the cabin was shattered like a pane of glass.
Something suddenly exploded in the engine shooting flames into the air and shaking the chopper. Enrico turned to Edward "Whats going on!" he shouted. Edward was bracing himself as Kevin tried to steady the chopper. Edward looked back "Engine failure. Kevin, land us!" he ordered. Kevin nodded as he pulled up and tried to get in steady. Rebecca grabbed the rails on the wall and the others braced themselves as it went down.
The rear propeller hit a large branch as the craft went under the tree tops breaking off with a metallic screech. This sent the chopper into a spin as it hit the ground turning twice before making a stop on the forest ground. Enrico looked up and around "Egh. Everybody out!" he ordered. The hatch opened and Enrico lept out first looking around then motioning for the others to move it. Forest, Edward, Kenneth and Richard all piled out. Rebecca paused to flash a thumbs up to Kevin who saluted back as the door closed.
They all armed themselves with their sidearms which had been equipped with small flashlights on the barrels. Enrico looked around "Check out the surrounding area and report back anything you see of intrest." they all fanned out away from chopper as Kevin did what he could from the inside. Rebecca moved with Enrico and suddenly noticed the light of her weapon reflect off something. She looked and gasped at what she saw.
An over turned truck belonging to the Military Police. The door had been broken open and at least three MPs laid on the ground dead, they looked as if they had been strangled but Rebecca didn't have time to notice the bloody marks on the MP's necks before Enrico joined her. "Dear God." he said as he looked on the inside. He lightly punched the side of it as he noticed that one of the MPs had been shot clearly in the knee cap showing this was a man's work.
Suddenly Rebecca spoke up again "Captain look." Enrico turned away from the truck and joined her over an open metallic case which seemed to have fallen out of the truck. The other Bravos had started joining them by now as Rebecca brought a clip board out from the case. It was a trasfer order for somebody "Court Order For Transportation. Prisoner: Billy Coen, Ex-lieutenant, 26 years old. Court mashaled and sentenced to death on July 22. Prisoner is to be transfered to Ragathon base, for execution." as she finished somebody took the clipboard from her.
Edward looked at it growling slightly "Those poor soldiers. They were good men just doing their jobs, and this scum murdered them and escaped!" Enrico tired of this discussion knew that they would have to find this guy first. He snatched it away "Okay people. Be on your guard our friend is cunning and ruthless. I'll need two volenteers to search the area." Edward stepped up, followed by Rebecca. It was obvious he would be injured if the truck had been there since July 22nd.
Rebecca and Edward headed off in one direction following foot prints slowly splitting off from one another. Enrico ordered the others to continue their sweep of the area but little did any of them know. What they would discover would start a chain of horrific events that would destroy the lives of several people. And even if some of them survive this they may grow the envy the ones that do not.
But while the other Bravos have yet to encounter their confrontation with this nightmare, young Rebecca Chambers is mere footsteps away from her's. (this will of course continue later in RE0)
