“Christine Walsh, Herald and Post. What does Umbrella have to say about the numerous accusations
that state Umbrella and its research are directly responsible for the tragic events in Raccoon City?”
Mullens had been expecting this, and barely glanced at his notes.
“Yes, these claims made by a small group of Eco-Terrorists. Activists who say they support human
rights, but would rather watch a small child die of a disease instead of letting us help. They feel we play at
being God... But if playing God is giving an unfortunate babe a second chance at life, shouldn’t we be
allowed to do that?
“This is, of course, the same group that was reported to be seen fleeing the city by local police officers
only hours before the bombs went off. Bombs we believe them to have planted themselves.”
Mullens could feel the sweat coming now. The writers had really screwed the pooch on this one, almost
turning it into a one-sided debate about the rights and wrongs of genetic engineering. As soon as this was
over, he was going to go see his manager and put in for some vacation time. “These matters or terrorist
activity, though, are best left to the man in charge of the investigation. May I introduce Captain Wesker?”
Mullens nodded, then stepped back from the podium. A large man, six foot and dressed in dark blue
fatigues, strolled onto the stage. His shock of white-blond hair was sculpted immaculately, and he wore a
pair of mirrored sunglasses. He took his position behind the podium, clasped either side of it with his
gloved hands, then glared out into the crowd of press agents.
“Hello, my name is Captain Albert Wesker, and I am the S.T.A.R.S. operative in charge of this
investigation. I am pleased to announce that we are making steady progress on this investigation, and
several suspects have already been apprehended and detained for further questioning.”
“If these terrorists are caught, what will become of them?”
Wesker turned to face the reporter, the cold glare of his sunglasses transfixing him. “These people are
responsible for the death of over two hundred thousand men, women and children. I think that the death
penalty is not entirely out the question. Naturally, their organisation and any alias we have for them has
been placed at the top of the FBI’s most wanted list.”
“Eric Briggs,” announced a second journalist, standing and raising his hand holding his notepad. “There
are more rumours circulating that these terrorist are in fact a breakaway faction faction of S.T.A.R.S. Do
you have any comments on this?”
“Mr Briggs, I know your work, you write for the Chronicle. A Pulitzer prize winner. I thought a man of
your calibre would do better than listen to gossipmongers and rumours.”
“Are you going to answer my question?”
“No,” stormed Wesker, gripping the podium and digging his fingers into the wooden surface. It began to
crumble in his hands. “They are not S.T.A.R.S., and I can quite assure you that a counter-terrorist
organisation would not...”
“But I have names,” protested Briggs, leafing through his notepad. “Chris Redfield, Jill Valentine, to
name two...”
“ Redfield,” stormed Wesker, quickly trying to regain his composure. “Redfield and Valentine were
S.T.A.R.S. operatives stationed in Raccoon. They were actually in the police station when the bombs
went off... I know because I was talking to them on the phone when he explosions began.”
Wesker shuddered, as if shaking off the memory, the addressed the crowd once more.
“Now, if you’ll excuse me, I have a job to do. Please.”
"Captain Wesker, just one more..."
Mullens sprang back to the microphone, announcing the end of the end of the conference. "You heard
the captain, he has a job, as do we all. Thank you for your time, ladies and gentlemen."
Leaving the stage, Mullens went behind the stage to see Wesker bending over a table, fists clenched and
supporting his weight. “Sir, are you okay?”
Wesker was on him in less than a second, springing from the table to his position and gripping him by
the neck, lifting the portly press officer off the floor. He no longer wore his glasses, exposing golden
lizard-like eyes which seemed to bore into him.
“Briggs, where the fuck did he get those names from? Who the fuck is his informant?”
Mullens barely managed a choking rasp, before Wesker threw him across the room. Unsheathing the
combat knife that dangled from his belt, he pounced on him, pressing the blade against his neck. “You find
out some information for me. I want to know where that son of bitch lives. He knows too much.”
A smile spread across Wesker’s face, an eerie and toothy grin.
“I need to talk to him in private...”
He released Mullens, then made his way towards the door leading to the car park. “Find out where he
lives, or I come and visit you!”
