Melody Jones, Pt. 3: Redemption
Kabul, Afghanistan
Shirpur District
Hatton: Ms. Alomar, according to your affidavit, you met Ms. Jones in 1999. Is that correct?
Sheva: Yes. I was in Kabul on a covert assignment for the BSAA.
Hatton: Bioterrorism Security Assessment Alliance?
Sheva: That's correct. Part of the West African Branch.
Hatton: I see. Before we get to your mission in Kabul, what was your first impression of Melody?
Sheva: We've been friends since high school. After we graduated, Melody was asked to join the USMC. She was reluctant at first.
Hatton: Two best friends. What was it like working with her?
Sheva: She is no doubt an excellent partner. However, when we were given our mission in Costa Rica, it seemed that she was still learning her way around and I had a little more experience, considering my expertise in archery.
Hatton: So you showed her the ropes?
Sheva: Yes. We started our careers in 2001. After Costa Rica and Nepal, we were sent to Afghanistan to undermine the Soviet occupation. The entire city of Kabul was full of snipers. The BSAA informed me that the Soviets were developing a gun of some kind. I would surely have been killed had it not been for Melody. I agreed to help her escort a truck full of arms for the rebels by creating a distraction.
Kabul, Afghanistan
July 9th, 2001
Sheva made her move, armed with her Beretta 92FS with a suppressor. She found the first sniper and took him out. He was armed with an SVD Dragunov. After proceeding, she found a destroyed bus that can serve as a extraction point. She later took out all he snipers. She found a Steyr AUG A1 bullpup rifle upgraded with a X-Ray scope. She used it to snipe targets. The rounds were upgraded to penetrate walls and other solid objects, but in reality, it uses 5.56x45mm NATO rounds in its 30 round magazine and it is equipped with a Swarovski scope. She then entered a house with a basement and placed a C4 charge and scrambled out of there quickly before detonation.
"Alomar, if that was you, good work," said Melody through a comm earpiece. "Soldiers patrol will definitely be heading your way. Hope you can handle the heat."
Sheva returned to the house. As she was planting the explosive, she found what appeared to be a blueprint and took a picture form her camera. Afterward, she left the house and fought the soldiers using her Izhmash AK-74M. Soon, she reached the extraction point. The pilot that dropped her off contacts her.
"Sheva, this is Jill Valentine. We are enroute to you now, but you need to dispose of those rocket launchers and secure the LZ."
"How many?"
"Four, all around you. They're using AT4s.
"I'm on it."
Sheva used the AUG to take out those rocket launchers as quick as she could."
"Hostiles down, Jill."
"Sweet! Prepare for evac."
Sheva: Eventually, Melody recruited me to the Agency.
Hatton: Yes, to help her commit murder, assassination, arms-dealing, acts of terrorism, you should...
Sheva: Utter nonsense! Melody and I worked for the greater good and you know it!
