Dr. Tachibana checked through the second floor patients again to see if everyone was alright, then took the stairs to the first one.

It wasn't easy to look after so many patients at once, but for Tomoe, it wasn't a big problem.

She checked all of the patients, then climbed back on the second floor.

And that's where she noticed someone in the distance she didn't recognize.

'Excuse me!' she said.

The person turned around.

'Hello!' the blonde girl said gently. 'I'm Angie Thompson, from Caduceus'

'Caduceus?' Tomoe smiled. 'That's great! Any help we can get is welcome!'

'Yeah!' Angie smiled.

'How many people did Caduceus send?'

'Oh, just me and Dr. Stiles. He's in the room now, checking up a patient. But don't worry, he's one of the best surgeons out there!'

'Great!' Tomoe laughed. 'I'm glad we have people like you here! I… have no clue what we're going to do about this outbreak…'

'Oh, don't worry! Caduceus are already working on a vaccine!'

'That's certainly good news, but what about a cure? Hundreds of people are sick already!'

'Well…' Angie bit her lip. 'From what a colleague at Caduceus told me, a cure will probably be found too, but as the virus shuts down the higher brain functions, it slowly causes them to die. So if the victim was infected within 24 hours, then treatment is most likely possible, with only a few side effects'

Tomoe smiled.

'When will this cure be ready?'

'We're expecting it every minute now… In fact, we were sent here to… feel the soil, so to speak, and prepare the hospital for its arrival. The boxes should arrive by plane soon!'

'Oh, that reminds me! Will you please come with me to the receptionist? A patient here's looking for his briefcase, and I thought maybe it's there'

'Hmm… I think I saw a metal briefcase in one of the patient's rooms just down the hall'

'The pediatric ward is definitely a strange place for a briefcase like that. Can you please show me the room?'

'Sure, I'll—'

At this moment, Dr. Stiles left the room.

'The patient's stable. I examined him, and the doctor did quite a good job. True, a little bit messy, but certainly good, given the conditions he was working in'

Tomoe looked with confusion.

'I'll explain later' Angie smiled. 'Come on!'

Together, the three of them went inside the room pointed out by the assistant. Tomoe sneaked in and noticed the sleeping patient, a 7 year old girl called Anna Wilkes.

Dr. Tachibana picked up the briefcase and read the initials "A.W." on them, and suddenly realized how the confusion had happened.

'Yes, I'd say this is the briefcase' Tomoe smiled as she left the room.

'How can you be sure? Did you check what's inside?'

'It is against the path of honor to view someone else's private possessions without a good reason. Now, let's find Mr. Wesker and give it back!'
