Resident Evil: Umbrella Scrub

*Buzzzzzz*
Do-do-de-doo-do-do---do-de-do
Your cell phone rang over and over, and you sleepily reach over and answer. You looked at the caller ID, and instantly felt awake.

"Hello...boss. What's up? You do know it's 3 AM over here, right?" You say, trying to disguise the sleepiness in your voice.
"I really don't care what time it is, scrub. I've called to remind you that the infiltration is complete, and we will be releasing the virus noon tomorrow. You will rendevous with your superiors at 11." Your boss, Cpt. Ginovaef, explains in a loud, annoying, and heavily Russian accented voice.
"You'd best make a good first impression, Ms. Wong. This combat test will be the first on a city-wide scale." He says, then hangs up.

At the same time, your roommate Jill walks in, yawning sleepily.
"Hey there...I heard voices. Are you talking in your sleep again?"Jill says, still not all awake.
"Yeah, some crazy dream involving cottage cheese and fruitcake" You laugh "Go back to bed, Jilly. Busy day tomorrow.
"Oh, yes. Shopping all day in the Raccoon strip. It's nice when Becky 'n' I can take off work every once in a while. It's so quiet lately anyway... " Jill says as she walks back toward her room.

"I wish I could go Jilly. I'm sorry." You whisper to yourself as you pull a small box from under a floorboard. It contains a gun, knife, a few bullets, and a green herb.
"Wow, ol' Umby sure went out of their way with this box of goodies" You say sarcastically to yourself, then change into some more appropriate clothes for you mission.

You walk out onto the front porch, where Rebecca is sitting. Your eyes widen, and she looks at the gun you have hanging from your hip.

"Dang...why didn't I conceal it?" You think to yourself
"Um, Ada, what's with the gun?" Rebecca asks, surprised to see you out so late, packing heat.

"Duh, Becky, don't you know it's wabbit hunting season?" You say, laughing. You quickly change your tone when you notice Rebecca glaring at you.
"Sorry, sad attempt at being funny. Actually, I couldn't sleep. Figured I'd go get some Twinkies at the Gas Station."

"Let me guess, you're going to use then gun to steal the Twinkies?" Rebecca says, with only a hint of a joking tone.
"No...no. You know how Raccoon can be. There are muggers everywhere as of late, a girl's gotta protect herself" you say, then change the subject "Might I ask what you're doing this late"

"Just thinking about Albert. He just disappeared all of the sudden, and he was always so mysterious" Rebecca sighs
"Well, if you ask me, he wasn't being all that faithful" You say, covering up what you really know. Albert Wesker was part of Umbrella, just like you. In fact, he was assigned to spy on the S.T.A.R.S, just like you. He lived with Chris Redfield and Brad Vickers.

"Well, Becks, those Twinkies beckon!" You say after an awkward moment.
"Y-yeah. You have fun. Bring me a pack, please"Rebecca says in quieter voice.

As you stroll out into the cold night air, you think about Rebecca and Jill, knowing you were about to abandon them just as Wesker abandoned Becky earlier. Then, you would unleash a virus that would probably kill the both of them. What a friend, eh? But, you had no choice. At first, you just worked in Umbrella's cosmetics department, but then you just had to stick your nose where it didn't belong and– enough. No more blaming yourself. Time to focus on the mission.

You take a turn to the right, into an alley and suddenly hear footsteps. Then, from right behind you, a moan. The smell freezes you in place. Then, you feel a hand on your shoulder.

What do you do?
