CHAPTER 3: The Beginning Draws Near

Javier was sitting in a chair looking at the case file when someone tapped him on the shoulder: "Hey! Javier, do you want to know what I'm holding in my hand?"

Javier smiled, "I think it should be my admission notice." Mike put the document on the table "Tsk! You're no fun at all Javier."

Javier took the envelope, opened it and looked at the document.

After reading for a few seconds, Javier smiled, raised his head, and looked at Mike: "I'm treating you today. Let's go to the bar for a drink."

"It looks like you're going to need another partner in the future."

------

The next morning, Javier arrived at a building in the backyard of the police station. When he entered, he saw eight or nine people inside.

Jill Valentine had already arrived. When she saw Javier entering, she greeted him as well. Javier also approached and came to Jill's side, and the two talked softly.

Not long after, five more people entered and finally all of the S.T.A.R.S were present. At that moment, Wesker and a middle-aged man approached and looked at everyone present.

"Congratulations to everyone for joining Special Tactics And Rescue Service or S.T.A.R.S for short. From now on, we will be colleagues." Wesker said as he looked at everyone, and then pointed to the middle-aged man next to him, "This is the vice-captain of S.T.A.R.S and the captain of Team Bravo, Enrico Marini."

Enrico then nodded to everyone, and then Wesker began to allocate personnel to both teams. Javier was assigned to Enrique's Bravo team, and Jill was on Wesker's Alpha team.

Although internally Javier feels a little sad that he is not on the same team as Jill, the two will be working in the same place, so they can still get along and develop some relationship little by little.

Enrico called the team members and began assigning their respective roles. Kenneth Sullivan, the eldest of the team, was responsible for chemical weapons protection and reconnaissance to confirm enemy positions. He is an expert in chemistry.

Edward Dewey, the strongest member of the team, is over 1.90 cm tall and has a pilot's license. He has a very correct and cheerful personality. He is Enrico's most capable subordinate and is a sniper.

Foster Speyer, who is also the best sniper in S.T.A.R.S, acts as a marksman for Team Bravo and is also responsible for intelligence compilation.

Richard Aiken, is responsible for the communication of the entire team. He is familiar with all kinds of communication equipment. In addition, he specializes in shotguns. His usual assault rifle was modified by Barry.

Javier was assigned as a commando because he was good at fighting and shooting, he was assigned as the main fighting force of the team.

At this time, Rebecca had not yet come to Raccoon City, so the only members of Team Bravo were these people. After everyone met, they started talking.

On the other side, Wesker's Alpha Team also ended its meeting. At night, everyone went to the bar to celebrate.

With the official establishment of S.T.A.R.S, the plot of Resident Evil is getting closer and closer, more or less 2 years until the beginning of everything. During this period, Javier also got along well with everyone, and he and Chris competed frequently in shooting and fighting.

Javier's weapons and equipment include a Beretta 92F pistol, a Remington shotgun, and a Steyr TMP submachine gun.

After the formation of the team, a few months passed quickly. During this period, the team did not have many tasks. All the team members were just training and doing daily patrols.

In May 1996, Umbrella's special treatment plant, located in the underground cavern on the outskirts of Raccoon City, reduced its processing capacity due to the accumulation of a large amount of common industrial waste. Umbrella later ordered the facility to close.

Although the contaminants began to leak out, because all of Raccoon City was under Umbrella's control, the residents didn't notice anything unusual.

Javier and the others were only responsible for isolating the contaminated area and not allowing anyone to approach. They also had some opinions about it, but after all it was the director and the mayor who spoke, so they could all just obey orders.

Javier was returning home that day. When he arrived at the door of his house, a figure hugged him from behind. Javier knew who the other person was without looking back: "Miss Katherine, why are you here?"

It turns out that the person hugging Javier was Katherine Warren, the daughter of Mayor Michael Warren, the girl who was taxidermied by the game's director Irons. Javier met Katherine two months ago. What Javier didn't expect was that she was very bold and open. The two are almost together.

Javier hugged Katherine and entered the house. An hour later, Katherine got out of bed, got dressed, and was ready to leave. She didn't dare spend the night, otherwise Javier could be in trouble if his father found out about their relationship.

Katherine kissed Javier on the forehead.

"I'm already going, don't forget me, we'll see you another day, baby."

Javier watched Katherine leave and lit a cigarette. He never thought that when he came into this world, his first wife would be Katherine.

Time passed slowly like this and soon came the summer of 1997. Due to increasingly severe industrial pollution, fierce conflicts have arisen between environmentalists and the government.

The Raccoon City Police Department moved into an empty art gallery, where Irons received a large amount of art from Umbrella. At this point, Raccoon City became a vassal of Umbrella Pharmaceuticals. Most of the city belongs to Umbrella's research facility. The economy is completely dependent on Umbrella.

At this time, Raccoon City was slowly approaching the beginning of the biochemical crisis. After the police station was relocated, the team's office was also moved here. Javier was very familiar with this place in the game, but in reality, it looks bigger and more spectacular.

At this time, public anger began to rise and people became increasingly dissatisfied with the government's inaction. Demonstrations began to erupt. Javier and others were also sent to crack down on protesters and arrest saboteurs.

With the arrival of 1998, Raccoon City became increasingly unsafe. Javier saw that the director was angrier. And once, when the mayor brought Katherine, the principal looked at Katherine, Javier didn't know what the old bastard was thinking, but remembering what he did to her in the game shouldn't be a good thing.

Javier won't let Katherine be in danger. When the time comes, he will deal with this old man himself.
