Chris and Rebecca started down the long hallway, to the S.T.A.R.S. briefing room. "You know, Rebecca" Chris began.

"I know, I know." She replied.

She mouthed along with Chris as he spoke, as if she knew the entire lecture by heart "We won't be the only S.T.A.R.S. members here. You'll have to be on your best behavior for once. No wild actions, no talking about heavy metal music..." Chris droned on as Rebecca made faces to herself, and continued mouthing the words. Chris stopped talking and looked over to her, as she continued to make faces. "Ahem." he said.

She stopped abruptly, and her face turned beet red as they continued down the hall "Thank you. Now, as I was saying, the best of the best are here. Thats why all of the surviving members from Raccoon City were sent here."

"With the exception of Brad!" she chimed in "I hate to say it but, he was kind of a wuss anyway."

Chris sighed and said to himself "I still regret leaving him alone back there... theres no telling what could happen within the 6 months we'll be gone."

"Don't worry about it Chris." said Rebecca as they reached the end of the hall. "Everything will be fine."

Chris grasped the door handle, and pulled back lightly "Yeah. I know, but I just can't shake this feeling.."

The two walked in, and took a seat by the already present Jill Valentine, and Barry Burton. "Good evening Mr. Redfield." Chris smiled and nodded "Miss Chambers" Rebecca grinned and looked away, shyly. The man who welcomed them was dressed in a black suit, and had black slicked back hair. He resembled Wesker, with a different hair-style, but he seemed to be a more respectable person. "I'm sure you've all heard of the recent happenings in Raccoon City, have you not?" The men and women throughout the room nodded in a agreement, accompanied by many mumbling voices, beggining to ramble on about the rumors they've heard. "Well, today, I'm sending you all on a mission. Yes, all twenty-five of you."

Chris and Jill gaped, looking around the room. "You will be headed by myself, and the team from Raccoon City themselves. My name is Seth. Seth McLeod." He walked over to Chris, and patted him on the shoulder "As I call your name, came stand on this side of the room. Jill Valentine. Barry Burton. John Fay..."

Chris blinked in shock and thought to himself "Where have I heard that name before? It sounds so familer..." Chris continued to think quietly to himself, while drumming his fingers on his desk, not paying attention to Seth, until her heard the last few names.

"...Johnathon Lee, and David Trapp. You twelve will form the Alpha Team for this mission." Seth smiled, and patted Chris's shoulder again. "You will be lead by the infamous Chris Redfield."

Chris tilted his head to the side, looking back, wondering if he heard right or not. Seth looked down to him and grinned, as he walked to the other side of the room. "If I did not call your name, stand on this side of the room." Rebecca and exactly 11 others walked over to Seth "We will form the Bravo Team. You twelve will be leaded by moi." He smiled and looked around "You have three days to get you stuff packed. We're leaving for Europe at aproximately o-eight-hundred hours. Your dismissed."

A ruckus formed around the room as everyone began talking, and some began leaving. Chris, Jill, Barry, and Rebecca all met up in the center of the room "Wow." said Jill "Someone is actually going to send out a full scale mission to take down Umbrella."

"Yeah." said Barry. "But did you see how closely he resembled Wesker? I don't trust 'em."

"Oh, come on Barry!" Chris exclaimed "Wesker went up in the mansion! That couldn't possibly be him!"

Rebecca watched on as the three argued about Wesker, not believing her eyes "Guys!!" The three looked at her, as the room started to clear out "I don't believe you!" said Rebecca "You guys are arguing about Wesker, when we have more important things at hand!!"

"Oh yeah?" asked Chris "Well, what is it?"

"They threw me in the Bravo Team again!! I'm not gonna be stationed with you guys!!" She threw her arms down to her sides, and looked like she was about to begin to pout.

"Oh come on, Rebecca." said Chris "Look at it this way. At least you'll get some much needed practice."

Rebecca's stare went blank. Jill and Barry looked to Rebecca and then to Chris "Chris...?" said Rebecca.

"Yes?"

Rebecca headed towards the door, and gripped the handle slinging it
