Resident Evil: Eddie [EN]

Three hours went by quickly, Eddie left Jill's apartment while humming a song. Initially, there was a training schedule for Jill today. Still, because her 'condition' was not good, she asked Albert Wesker for permission.

The reason? Of course, she felt tired and needed to rest. *Cough* Eddie had taken her virginity, so she needed to recover her stamina and body first.

Eddie kept humming while walking towards a place, he wanted to go to Raccoon City Underground Laboratory. However, while he was busy walking, he was suddenly approached by a person who looked like a secretary; that person was none other than the secretary of the mayor of Raccoon City.

"Good evening, Mr. Eddie; sorry to interrupt your time, mayor Michael Warren would like to invite you to his office. If you wish, please follow me; he wants to discuss some personal matters with you."

The secretary asked politely. To be honest, Eddie was satisfied with his attitude.

Eddie stopped walking, after which he said: "Warren? I don't really know him, but forget it. Please lead the way." Eddie felt a little surprised; this secretary meant a man named Michael Warren, right? He didn't really know the man, heck; he wasn't even that familiar with the people who lived in Raccoon City.

The only people he knew well enough personally were no more than Alex Wesker and Jill Valentine.

***

Michael Warren's personal space is inside a luxurious modern office building on the top floor.

The building was built using investment money from Umbrella group and Raccoon City resident taxes, so it's no wonder the installation looks very luxurious. With almost unlimited investment money, the mayor can build a building as grand as he wants.

A middle-aged man in white is seen sitting behind a desk; he is looking at the city from the highest point of the building.

Seeing the Raccoon city he had worked so hard for made him feel proud.

"Excuse me, mayor. Dr. Eddie has come." The secretary said as he knocked on the door several times.

Eddie and the secretary immediately entered.

"Pour two cups of tea for Dr. Eddie; make sure to take it from the most expensive brand."

"Also, please cancel all today's meetings."

Mayor Warren said as he ordered his secretary.

After that, he greeted Eddie with a warm smile.

"Haha, welcome, Dr. Eddie, please have a seat, have a seat."

Michael Warren is indeed a reliable person in communication; with his attitude like this, it's no wonder so many investors are willing to invest in him.

Eddie smiled back, nodding his head.

The secretary immediately poured two cups of tea, after which he left the room.

"Hello, mayor Michael, is there something you need to call me personally? If I'm not mistaken, haven't we met at all, except today, of course."

Eddie asked politely.

"Uh... Of course, of course."

"I am an acquaintance of your uncle, Dr. Marcus." If you don't mind, you can think of me as your second uncle, hahaha."

Michael Warren laughed, he continued: "Speaking of why I called you, so I wanted to ask you to do something. Let's say I want you to help me." Michael spoke to Eddie like someone he had known for a long time.

"I see; if I can do it, then I won't mind helping you, Uncle Michael. By the way, what is this about?"

Eddie answered while questioning back. In front of him, Michael held out a cigarette at him.

Honestly, he's not an addict, but once in a while, it's okay. Although he prefers his homemade cigarettes...

"Alright, a guy is trying to get close to my daughter. It seemed that the man had a special 'intention' towards her; he wanted to get some information. That man's name is Benjamin; I hope you can kick that man out of my daughter's life; it's really inconvenient for me to kick him out personally." Michael said frankly.

"I see, but can't you have someone else besides me. Why did you specifically order me for this kind of task?" Eddie wondered, what kind of assignment was this? Eddie's heart began to be wary; there was no way a mayor could contact him personally just to tell him to do such a small thing. There must be something Michael is hiding!

"First, you are someone who works under Spencer. Second, you have a great position under Umbrella's wing. So I don't have to worry about reporters trying to report a scandal or something bad which will hurt my public image."

"So, you are the best candidate for this task," Michael explained with a smile.

"But the thing is, I already have a girlfriend, Uncle Michael. Also, I don't think I'm suited to this; perhaps you can contact someone more skilled?"

Eddie was starting to think of something, wasn't the daughter of the mayor of Raccoon City named Katherine Warren? If I'm not mistaken, when the Outbreak occurred, the woman was thrown to Brian Irons, the crazy man who tried to turn her into a taxidermy art?

Her luck is so bad.

"I know that you already have a girlfriend; it's just *cough*... How about I increase Jill's salary. What do you think?" Michael coughed a little while voicing his suggestion; he wanted to bribe Eddie with something amusing.

"Please don't joke, Uncle Michael. Do I look like a cash-strapped person? Sorry, I refuse." Eddie said amusedly, money? He has a lot of money, so he doesn't need it.

"What do you want then? As long as that's what I can afford, then I won't mind." Michael started to frown. Inwardly he was complaining, 'Why is this young man different from the information I have received? Was he really a spoiled man who was easy to manipulate? Completely false information!'

"I want a helicopter, of course, a new one. Personally, I still can't afford it, but when it comes to you, then you can get it pretty easily."

Eddie unceremoniously voiced his wish.

The helicopter cost about a few million dollars; Eddie certainly couldn't afford it. But if the money used is tax money *cough*, of course, Mayor Michael will not blink at that price.

"Alright, make sure to take that guy's hidden camera. After that hand it to me, do you understand?" Michael nodded; he gave Eddie another condition.

"Then Deal!" Eddie nodded happily.

"Aren't you curious about the data in the hidden camera that I want?" Michael smiled, but his smile was terrifying.

Eddie quickly shook his head; he replied: "Not at all; I'm not interested in random cameras myself. I wouldn't have bothered to accept your request if it weren't for the Helicopters, haha."

"Hahaha, you really are smart. No wonder Spencer would want to hire you." Michael laughed back; this time, it was pure joy.

"Then please give me your daughter's phone number; after that, I'll take care of the rest myself."

Eddie took out a small card with Katherine's number on it. After that, he turned around and immediately left the Raccoon City mayor's office.

***

Michael sat in the office alone, his hands on his chin. Furrowing his brows, he mumbled: "Spencer? Huh, you do think I don't know what you're doing? good... Very good."

Benjamin's hidden camera contains corruption between him and a high-ranking police officer named Brian Irons.

If that evidence leaked out to the public, it would be bad news for him. This is absolutely unacceptable!

***

Eddie's brow furrowed even more after Eddie came out of the office. He knew that the camera Michael aimed for contained bad things between Michael and other people in the 'elite' circle. He didn't want to be involved in this problem, especially at critical times when an outbreak would occur.

'Brian Irons.' Eddie mumbled in disgust, speaking of this person, who he knew was nothing more than a lunatic with a twisted brain. The man has a perverted obsession that wants to turn everyone into an inhuman work of art.

Eddie wanted to get rid of that person right away, but not now... Now is not the right time.

Accompanied by two heavily armed guards who had been assigned by Michael. Eddie grabbed the phone and immediately called Katherine.

***

In the City Park.

There are only a few beautiful places like this city park in raccoon city. It's a very suitable place for refreshing or just taking a walk with a partner.

In the distance, a beautiful young woman with long blonde hair was seen. The woman was wearing a white dress and high heels; she looked pretty anxious, looking left and right from time to time.

Eddie walked closer to the girl; two bodyguards followed pretty fast behind him.

"Hello, you must be Katherine; my name is Eddie."

"I wanted to ask, do you know a person named Benjamin?"

Katherine looked at Eddie, she asked. "What's your business with Benjamin?" She said curiously; from her short answer, it was clear that this young woman knew a man named Benjamin.

"Recently, I found out that a paper I've been working on for months suddenly appeared in public; I haven't even released it yet!"

"It seems that there was a man named Benjamin who secretly took pictures of my paper, after which he released the copy without my permission. Which won him an award."

Katherine, who heard this, was so shocked she shook her head over and over while trying to deny Eddie's accusations against the man she liked. "No way, he's not that kind of person. He's kind and understanding; there's no way he could do something dirty like what you say!"

"Hey, calm down; I'm not accusing you. So don't scream; it's not suitable for a beautiful woman like you."

"I was just asking if you knew him or not, that's all. If it is true that he is a good man as you say, then we can prove it together."

"As you know, writing a paper is a very time-consuming thing. To steal it from me like nothing happened is a very despicable thing! What's more, he's claiming an award that should be mine."

Eddie said with a heavy sigh...

This was something he had planned; of course, it was all a lie. But he had confirmed that this plan would work 100%

Moreover, his acting is fantastic, so everything is under his control.
