It was just like any other Monday that Chris was roaming around the station, he had just gotten out of the briefing that bravo and alpha had about a developing situation within the mountains. Bravo was being set in, but Alpha was to remain on standby throughout the operation. Little did Chris know, tonight was the night that his entire world would be turned around, for better or for worse.
Chris was suddenly knocked out of his consecration when a group of about five soldiers in black fatigues wearing black mask and goggles to conceal themselves nearly ran into him passing by. They were all heavily armed, yet no one seemed to be paying attention to them. They had some sort of army patches on their shoulders. One of the five men stopped for a second to look at Chris, but after a few seconds of his stare down on chirs he continued to follow his comrades.
"Who the hell are those guys" a voice behind Chris muttered loudly.
Chris turned to see it was Richard from bravo team; he turned to look at him. "Hell if I know, what are a bunch of Military spec ops guys doing here?" Chris asked in reply.
Richard only shrugged in response. "Beats me, maybe captain Wesker knows, they do seem to be heading to his office" He said pointing back at the group. Chris looked back over to him to see that Richard was right.
Four of the five armed men stood guard outside captain Weskers office, while one went inside. "Guess you're right, I'll ask to captain about it later"
"So how'd it go?" Richard asked changing the subject.
Chris looked at Richard, confused about what he was getting at. "How'd what go?"
"You know what Redfield, I'm talking about you and your partner" Richard replied tugging his shoulder, while trying to hold back his grin.
"Ah…well…it..." Chris stuttered, trying to find a way to respond.
"That good huh?" Richard only smirked in response, knowing that Chris didn't even have to acknowledge what he was asking.
"Whatever, look I got work to do" Chris replied shaking his head, as he was walking away. He stopped for a second, glancing back at Richard. "Hay Richard" Chris called out back towards him, as he was also walking away.
"Yeah?" Richard yelled, looking back at Chris.
"Stay safe out there tonight"
Richard nodded in response. "Don't worry; it'll probably just turn out to be some dumb wild goose chase"
Walking towards the locker room to put up some equipment before finish his shift, Chris could only think of what was really going on. Everything seemed fine, but the operation taking place in the mountains, the mysterious military team in the station, not to mention the events that took place last week. None of them seemed like they could be connected in any way what so ever, but this boring city had never been so active all at once before. Chris figured it was probably for the best just to forget about these things.
Entering the locker room he noticed something he probably shouldn't be looking at, all his thinking made him seem like he was probably starting this whole time.
"Crap, sorry I didn't mean.." Chris said trying to quickly make his way back out of the locker room.
"It's okay Chris, it's not like you meant to stare" Jill replied holding in her laughter, she was in the middle of changing out her uniform, although she was pretty much finished when Chris came waltzing in.
Chris cursed himself quietly for being so stupid, before he started walking back towards his locker to put away his gear.
"So did you see those military guys?" Jill asked breaking the silence between them.
Chris nodded. "Yeah, Richard and I saw them heading towards the captain's office. You have any idea who they might be?" Chris asked, hoping Jill's knowledge of once being in the military would help answer any unknowns.
Jill just shook her head. "No, but they seem like Special Forces, if seen that kind of gear before, never seen that unit patch, but my guess is that there some delta team" Jill paused, as if she had something else to add to what she experienced.
Chris finished placing his gear away, now turning his full attention towards Jill. "What's wrong?" he asked walking towards her slowly.
"I…..I'm not sure, but something felt off about them" She replied, sitting on the bench in the middle of the locker room, as she threw her bag next to her.
"Off? Off how Jill?" Chris asked sitting down next to her on the bench.
"I'm not sure Chris, but I know there's just something off about them. And one of them…." Jill paused, as she was now looking directly at Chris. "He kept starting, like he knew me. I don't know how, maybe he was in one of the training units I was in and just recognized me, but I feel like there's something else. I feel like I knew him, I'm just not sure how"
Chris sighed, as he put his arm around her shoulder. "Yeah, one of them did the same to me, but only for a quick second, although I know I didn't know him"
"What if that team and what's happening in the mountains are all tied together somehow, what if bravo is going up against more than they can chew?" Jill asked, looking like she might have some sort of panic attack in the process.
Chris gently squeezed his arm, trying to calm her down. "Listen, don't dwell on this. I'm sure there's nothing bad going on here. Now why don't we just go get some food, and try to forget about this we're only on standby today"
Jill smiled in response. "Chris Redfield, are you trying to ask me out"
Chris gave a slight chuckle. "Maybe, is it working?"
Jill gave Chris a quick kiss as an answer. "Perhaps, but like you said we are on standby. So are evening might be…interrupted"
Chris sat up, holding a hand towards Jill, offering to help her stand in a gentlemen like way. "Well that's a chance I'm willing to take, that is if you are" Chris replied smiling towards her. He knew she was going to take his offer, yet it was still fun for him to ask.
"Oh, I am Redfield" She laughed taking his hand. "I am"
Todd and the rest of team X-ray were now in a small room in the basement, waiting for frank and there inside contact in the station. They had meet with one of the stations captains when they first arrived; after frank had talked to him alone he said to meet him down in this room. An officer had escorted the team in this empty briefing room.
To say Todd was nervous was an understatement. First he and Frank had meet with this team outside their hidden facility, than they drive directly towards the police station for some reason. He knew their fake unit would get them whatever access they required, but it didn't help put him at ease.
Then there was the other three new faces in this so called team X-ray, they must have been called from somewhere else, because Todd never saw them in the umbrella facility. He began looking at the rest of his team one by one, as they removed their masks.
They had all been going by their first name, and nothing else. That is of course if that was even their real first names. First there was Jaylen, a dark skin man with a military standard hair cut with his black hair that was hardly visible. He looked as if he had experience; it said it in his eyes. He was the team's specialized sniper. Of course the experience could also be noticed by a massive scare that went down his right eye. The man barely said two words since they had all met up this morning, unlike the next member he looked at.
The next member was Brian; he was lighter skinned like Todd, but had orange hair with his military cut. He was supposed to be the teams close quarter's expert, which was obvious with his spas shotgun and knifes hanging all over his vest. Then there was his constant bragging of other assignments he had been on. During the whole ride this morning Todd was unlucky enough to be seated next to him. Todd wanted to say he was arrogant like a rookie, but if he was here and hired by umbrella, than he must be worth what he was basically advertising.
Lastly there was Sarah, she was the one female of the group, and Brian wouldn't let that go for a second with his constant flirting. Although with the banter they shared Todd could only figured they must have known each other, as she mostly put up with him. She had brown hair, and was more tanned than Todd or Brian; Todd figured she must have spent more time in hot climate environments with her assignments. She seemed like the cool headed one of the group, like a second in command if you will. Todd would find her attractive, but she was too professional for his liking.
"I don't like this" Jaylen, the one who had barely said two words since this morning blurted out, although if everyone in the room hadn't been so quiet they probably wouldn't of herd him.
Todd looked towards Jaylen. "What's not to like, the pay is good, Isn't it?" Todd asked, although he was doing this more for money now, as he wanted to be an agent for umbrella like Frank.
"Toddy is right" Brian said using that nickname he gave towards Todd. "Gorgeous and I do these kinds of ops all the time, everything will be fine" He added motioning towards Sarah.
"Fine" Sarah replied looking angry. "You call what happened in Russia fine"
Brian smiled towards her. "Well we got the job done, didn't we?"
"If by done you mean nearly getting us both killed while you just had to go in a melee with the facility security, than yea…..everything was fine"
Brian looked as if he was going to have some kooky response, but was short lived as the door finally opened. Everyone stiffened up, as if they went to some form of attention, while Frank and what looked like the captain from early came into the room.
"Everyone, take a seat" Frank said, as he and the Captain took a seat in front of the team. The whole team quickly did as told, although it sounded more like an order to them.
The cop captain tossed a folder full of files on the table, as he began to brief to team. "Now, it's time for you all to learn what's really going to go down in this operation, make no mistake it will be more dangerous than any you have probably taken so far. So if anyone wants out now's the time" The captain said towards a silenced room, that remained silent. "Very good, now Agent F if you will" The captain said motioning the briefing towards their team leader.
Later that night
Chris and Jill had finished their dinner, as they were now just enjoying an evening towards themselves. They had stop to relax on a bench in by the sidewalk, as they looked towards a bell tower not far from them.
"This was nice" Chris said breaking there peaceful silence.
"Yeah it was" Jill replied leaning on Chris's side.
"Guess we should enjoy are time off more often now" Chris laughed
Jill looked back at Chris. "So long as you're the one paying for the food, than that sounds like a good idea to me"
Chirs could only laugh in response. "First you live with me, than you have me drive everywhere, now you want me buying your food. Are you trying to make me go bankrupt Jill valentine?"
"Maybe I am, and maybe I'm not, you'll just have to find out" Jill replied, nudging him on the shoulder.
"You're so bad, do you know that?" Chris asked with his smirked face.
"And you love it, don't you"
Chris was silent for what seemed like a long moment, before he replied back. "Completely"
Before Jill or Chris could say anything else Chris's radio he had on with him went off.
"Redfield you there?" a voice that sounded like the captains asked.
Chris quickly grabbed his radio toward him. "I'm here…what's wrong captain"
"We have a situation, we've lost contact with bravo team…Is valentine with you?" The captain asked, knowing in all likelihood she was.
"She's here captain, what's the plan?"
"Get here ASAP, alpha is being deployed" Wesker ordered.
"Copy that, Redfield out" Chris now turned his radio off and looked towards Jill. He had a bad feeling about this, but felt it was best to keep that to himself for the moment. "Come on, let's go"
That's right we're getting to the mansion now, and as you can probably tell it will be quiet AU in a way. so please don't hate on me if i do the mansion wrong in some ways, well a lot of ways, but it will be for good reasons.
