Chapter 6: Discovery and Meeting
Having received the information about the S.T.A.R.S. office they left the office they were in through the opposite door and were soon out in yet another corridor, this one was deserted apart from a few bodies of police officer's including the corrupt chief, all of them had already been infected and killed, by headshots, they were not coming back. Grimly nodding the duo continued their journey down the corridor, they opened the door at the end and headed into the next corridor. They were met with a group of Crimson Heads, acting as quickly as they could they shot them down, one however got to close for comfort, it tried to attack Kyle but he quickly dropped his gun and grabbed the horrific monster's neck and snapped it, it dropped dead and he picked up his gun again. As they turned the corner they saw another door at the end and a set of double doors to their left, it was clearly labelled as the S.T.A.R.S. office. Kyle approached the doors and tried to open them, it was locked.
"Dammit, now what the hell are we supposed to do?" Kyle growled in frustration.
"Try this" Brian stated, reaching into his pocket, "I picked it up from the chief's body when I spotted it".
It was a key, Kyle tried it, it worked, they quickly entered the S.T.A.R.S. office. They looked around, the office was rather cluttered there were several desks, most of them cluttered with paperwork and various other objects, one stood out to him, it was a picture on the desk directly across from the door, it was of a young woman, apparently having just made it into the army, she was with a man who appeared to be her commanding officer and a man who looked like her father, she looked a little younger in the picture but Kyle still recognized her, a lump formed in his throat as he recognized his old friend Melissa Henderson.
Tearing his eyes away from the picture and joined Brian in his search of the office, Brian noticed his distraction.
"Hey, are you okay, what's wrong?" He asked concerned.
"I'm fine," Kyle answered, "Just so long as I stay away from that desk".
Brian looked over at the desk Kyle was pointing at and raised an eyebrow.
"What's wrong with…?" He began but Kyle cut across him, ""It belongs to a S.T.A.R.S. operative called Melissa Henderson, during the outbreak at my school, she helped me and died trying to help me, I saw her die and end up infected, right in front of me".
Brian lowered his head, "I'm sorry, how about I check it out instead" He offered, Kyle nodded in agreement.
Kyle nodded again and they continued their search. Brian examined Melissa's desk, Kyle examined a few more including a desk from someone else he recognised, Mark Chapman, the S.T.A.R.S. operative that was the first to die, the one Kyle had seen get his neck snapped by the first zombie Kyle met. It was on this desk that Kyle found something interesting, like the police officer who had written the note in the lobby, Mark Chapman was also suspicious of the police chief and suspected him of corruption. Once they had finished checking all the desks they discussed what they had found, it was apparent that Umbrella had mass produced the T-Virus and had been selling it worldwide, most of these dealings seemed to have gone unnoticed but the chief of police covered it all up and hid the obvious evidence against the company due to his corruption and greed making him an obvious target to pay off to hide their activities, he also used his payments to bribe other officers, only S.T.A.R.S. remained immune to bribes and so the chief was on guard against them, several of the S.T.A.R.S. operatives lost their jobs and the department was met with serious budget cuts, all this proved that he was trying desperately to shut S.T.A.R.S. down for good but do it slowly so as to try and avoid suspicious but he failed to be discreet but by this time the only S.T.A.R.S. members left were the man in charge and the four that had been sent into the high school.
Kyle realised, to his horror that they had been sent in there to die, if they had escaped they were to be killed immediately just like the head of S.T.A.R.S. had been shortly after they entered the school. Kyle sighed as he finally realised the truth.
'Melissa, why didn't you tell me this, you knew what was to happen if you survived, you meant to go into hiding immediately after the incident at the school, no matter what happened' He thought, he sighed and let his thoughts continue, 'Why didn't you tell me, were you trying to protect me from this, don't worry Melissa, I promise, I'll finish what you started, I'll put a stop to all of this, I swear'.
Brian noticed Kyle's preoccupation and gave him a moment to himself. After a short pause Kyle recovered and turned back to Brian.
"Sorry, I got kinda sidetracked for a minute there" He apologized.
"It's fine," Brian replied before sighing, "Okay, now we know what Umbrella's up to, what do we do about it?"
Kyle thought for a moment before beginning to answer, "Well we…" He was cut off by the door opening and someone entering through it.
They both turned towards the door and pointed their guns towards the door, the person who entered then responded.
"Hey, whoa, it's me, take it easy guys" Brain recognized the voice and relaxed.
The man who entered the room was African-American, around thirty years of age, about five foot seven, weighing 72 kilos, he had black hair in a corn-row style and black eyes; he was dressed in the same uniform as Brian.
"Paul, you made it," Brian stated jovially as his friend entered the room fully.
"Yeah, it's me". Paul replied with a smirk.
Kyle breathed a sigh of relief as he realised that this new arrival was none other than Brian's fellow U.B.C.S. traitor, Paul McMillan.
