Jill's apartment. At Night.

Eddie sorted out the ingredients he had collected. These ingredients are nothing but Eddie's theoretical ingredients for making an Anti-Virus for the Serum he's been developing. But those ingredients are still incomplete.

Jill wiping her wet hair with a towel, asked curiously, "Honey, what are you doing?"

Eddie answered. "Preparing the theoretical material for the project that I will work on in the future."

"By the way, if I'm not mistaken, you know the ins and outs of Raccoon City, right? Actually, I'd like to meet someone who currently lives inside Raccoon City University. His name is Mueller, I know he's in the City University building, but I don't know his exact location. "

Eddie asked Jill a question.

Jill, who heard this, raised her eyebrows a little; "What's your business with that man?" She asked with a curious expression.

"There's some important business I want to take care of. Also, I'm looking for evidence of a crime Mueller committed while still working at Umbrella."

"There are a lot of foul things hidden from the public eye by Umbrella employees."

Seeing Eddie's solemn expression, Jill pondered for a few moments. Then she nodded her head and replied: "I will try to help you find that man."

"That's great! Thank you, Jill." Eddie slipped Jill's cheek all of a sudden.

"No problem." Jill nodded. Briefly, her cheeks now turned as red as strawberries.

A moment later, Jill remembered something; she immediately asked, "Speaking of looking for evidence of a crime... Do the things around the Arklay Mountains have anything related to Umbrella Company?"

Jill's eyebrows started to frown; she wished her guess was wrong. But what Eddie's going to say next bolts her more and more sure about her think.

Jill has been putting suspicion in big companies like Umbrella for a long time.

"Most likely... But I can't say much about it; let's say I'm not entirely sure if they're related to what happened in the Arklay mountains." Eddie answered while looking thoughtful.

Of course, he knew that Umbrella was the cause of every incident in the Arklay Mountains. But Eddie didn't want to tell Jill, at least for now.

He does this for Jill's safety sake. What happens if Jill suddenly wants to investigate this on her own after he tells her? Eddie certainly didn't want to risk it, afraid that Jill would encounter bad things...

"Jill, I hope you didn't discuss this topic with anyone else or try to investigate on your own. At least for now..."

"The Umbrella group is a powerful multi-national corporation, better to act as nothing has happened. Do you understand?"

Eddie tried to convince Jill.

"You are right. Jill nodded understandingly. Surely she knows how powerless she is in front of Umbrella.

But she's sure her boyfriend is up to something good about this.

***

Two days went by quickly.

Indeed, Jill was a viable member of Raccoon City's Tactical Rescue Team. In only one day, she could trace the place where Dr. Mueller is. Just so you know, Dr. Mueller has isolated himself from the Umbrella company, he's hiding somewhere unthinkable, but Jill still manages to track him down. Isn't that awesome?

Raccoon city university. Underground room, floor 22.

A middle-aged man with glasses stood in front of a transparent tank filled with nutrient solution.

Inside the tank, there was a pale-skinned (gray) test object. Looks like the test object is human!

*Beep!*

Access control for closed doors has been activated. Eddie came to Dr. Mueller's lab. in a fitted casual outfit; "Hello, Dr. Mueller. "

Eddie suddenly said hello with a bright smile.

"Huh? Who are you?"

Mueller, who was suddenly interrupted, was immediately shocked; it turned out that a young man without his permission entered his private lab.

Mueller immediately grabbed the gun and pointed it at Eddie without much ado.

"Greetings, the name is Eddie. A distant relative of Uncle Marcus, you are Dr. Mueller, right? "

Eddie introduced himself casually, not even afraid of the gun muzzle pointed at him. It doesn't make Eddie tremble. Instead, he keeps smiling.

"Freeze! Are you work for Umbrella? "

Mueller shouted to warn Eddie.

"No, I... Just like you, I have a grudge against Umbrella. I came here to ask for your help."

Eddie stated his purpose. Again, he's not afraid of Mueller's firearm threat.

The other party began to frown; a few moments later, he lowered the gun. "You are Marcus' distant relative?"

"Yes. I always bring up Uncle Marcus' name for my survival. Nothing special about that. Eddie shrugged his shoulders.

"You sneaky bastard..." Mueller said with a sneer. He continued, "Then what do you want from me?"

"I need information about Anti-Virus," Eddie said briefly.

"Anti-Virus? What do you need that for? Have you been infected? "Mueller asked, his expression looking stern.

"Of course not; I need to experiment with something. Your Anti-Virus will help me with that project, so I want your help. "

"Don't worry, of course, I'll pay. Tell me what you want. "Eddie's starting to take out his offer.

"Indeed, Anti-Virus data is in my hands; if you want it, then give me a copy of the Nemesis paper. Then I'll give you the Anti-Virus data that you want. "Mueller said with a cold smile.

He set a very crazy price. Is Anti-Virus even equivalent to the Nemesis project data? Of course not!

Eddie said with a sneer. "Your price is too high; Nemesis project data is hard to collect; even high-level military won't be able to get it."

"Choose something else, old man."

Eddie said. His eyebrows had turned shriveled.

"That's your business, not mine. If you want Anti-Virus, then give me what I want. "Mueller replied with an insatiable grunt.

Eddie, who heard this, immediately sighed deeply. Looks like he's got to get the Anti-Virus by force.

Honestly, he didn't want to do this, but he had to...
