2005, 2 years after Umbrella's so called "official defunct", what people don't know is that Umbrella has been working undercover for the past 2 years and it's my duty to help them.
"Torres, you've got tons of research left to do" Adams says and sits down next to me, he works as head of the Research team, i am basically his right hand.
I sigh and look at him "More? What else is there to research, i thought we were through with the G-Virus, it's been 7 years" he shrugs his shoulders and puts the files on my desk "Sorry Amber, just giving you what i get from the Headquarters" He can be quite nice, but he puts me through so much work. I roll my eyes and rest my head on the desk, i have not slept in 37 hours and 26 minutes. "By the way, Hughes wants to speak to you when you're done, apparently it's important" he informs me as he disappears into his office. Hughes always comes to me, yet Adams is chief and not me. What? Jealous? Me? no...
I lift my head and take the stack of files, they are all files from 1998, Oswald wants to make sure we research everything that happened back then so it can't get out of hand like that again.
Even though every now and then i will find files about it on my desk, most of the time i work on researching possible Bio weapons and past failures in Viruses, so I guess that's where the interest in G-virus research comes from, it was by far their biggest mistake.
43 hours without sleep, i worked all night at home and then for the past 6 hours on the files, nothing new from it, there's things we will never know without birkin but it feels like Headquarters won't ever let it go. Now what did hughes want to see me about? I put the files in my drawer and lock it, pick up my bag and sign out until i am back, a new safety measurement.
I make my way up the building and knock on hughes door, taking a deep breath, hoping this isn't anything bad. "Come in" i hear him say and open the door "You wanted to speak to me?"
I walk up to him standing in the room accompanied by a to me unknown man. "Amber this is Leon S. Kennedy" Hughes replies and my eyes widen, Leon S. Kennedy? "as in Stratcom agent Kennedy?" i reply in disbelief "As of today Kennedy is oficially part of Umbrella, for the past months we've been interrogating him as a suspect but Kennedy has brought us interesting information about the US Stratcom, making him somewhat trustworthy" i shake my head "There is no way he isn't undercover or something "We have been watching him closely, no suspicious actions" hughes reassures me and with a hand sign commands me to come over as i was still standing at the door "So assuming he is trustworthy, what exactly did you want to see me about?" I ask while sitting down in front of his desk "Well, it has come to my attention how well you've been doing lately, so our biggest responsibilty is yours, to prove your worth" i raise an eyebrow waiting for more information "Leon will be accompanied by you, as far as sharing office and watching that he won't do anything that will compromise our work" My gaze drops, he is absoloutely kidding me, right? I am supposed to babysit Kennedy?
I can't speak against the Headquarters so i take a deep breath and agree with him, it's not like i had anything to do anyways, besides hours and hours of research.
"Come with me, i'll show you around the research department" leading him out the door before politely excusing myself to Hughes.
I look back at him walking behind me and sigh "Can you move any slower?" he raises an Eyebrow at me and catches up to me "I see that you're not keen on this job, do you think i want to be babysit?" he says with a annoyed voice "Don't complain, be happy Hughes took someone from Stratcom in" he rolls his eyes and walks with me until we get to mine and the other researchers office. "this is our office, there's an open desk next to mine, obviously hughes hasn't allowed you to do any research yet, so you'll have to stick with me for a while" What even is the point of doing all this? What is hughes plan with getting Kennedy in here, is this part of some big plan?
"A lot of this is classified, i don't know how much you're allowed to see, wait here" i stand up and walk to Adam's office, hoping he could tell me how much i am allowed to tell and show Kennedy.
"Adams? I've got a Question about the research and Kennedy, i have to babysit him and I don't know how much i am allowed to show him" i ask "No way hughes assigned Kennedy to you?" He laughs "goodluck with that. But you should be able to show him most stuff, not about the G-virus considering he was part of Raccoon city" I nod and thank him for the information. I knew that i wasn't the only one suspicious, they had their suspicions aswell.
"You can watch me do my research, if you have any questions feel free, otherwise be quiet and let me work" i command and sit down.
"You don't need to be rude all the time, i know i'm charming, no need to hide it" he sarcastically says and i roll my eyes again, pretending i didn't hear what he said.
After finishing the last hour of work i sign out, taking Leon out with me "we're done for now, feel free to not talk to me again" I turn around "wouldn't want to talk to a bore like you anyways" he says and walks off, i have never met a person this pretentious and annoying.
