July 23, 1998, Umbrella research center, time unknown, unknown location.
The elevator doors close cut to the pit as Rebecca struggles to hold on,"I can't..hold on."
Billy reaches Rebecca as she finally loses her grip and grabs her. "Rebecca! Hang on, I'll pull you up."
Billy yanks Rebecca out of the pit and onto solid ground. "Thank you."
"Don't mention it, keeping my word. We promised to cooperate with each other, remember?"
"Where's Kate?" asked Rebecca.
"She goes to explore the place." Rebecca's radio beeps.
She gets to her feet and take it. "This is Rebecca. Over," she replied.
"Rebecca, this is Enrico. Have you managed to locate Coen yet? Over." Billy gets to his feet as Rebecca looks at him.
"Rebecca, answer me."insisted Enrico.
"No, sir, I've not found him yet. I'll continue to search for him. Over." She holstered her radio.
"Rebecca."
"My first mission and I've already disobeyed orders. So much for my great law enforcement career. Oh well, I won't live long enough to worry about it? Billy, I need to know, I need to know the truth. Did you kill 23 people? I won't judge you; I want to know the truth."
" It was around this time last year," he sighted.
While he was leaning against a box with Rebecca standing in front of him, he started to tell his story.
1997 Africa, a jungle, flashback.
Soldiers marching through the brush and trees. "Our unit received orders to Africa, to intervene in a civil war. Our mission was to raid a hideout of some guerilla forces located deep inside the jungle."
He remembered the soldiers diying in front of him, guns firing.
"But the hideout was far away from our entry point. Some died from the heat, others killed by the enemy. In the end, only four of us survived."
He paused for a second "Only there was no guerilla hideout."
"What do you mean?" said Rebecca.
"The idiots in charge had us operating on wrong information! But, we couldn't go home empty handed, oh no. Our leader ordered us to attack an innocent village."
He remembred that moment well. In the village, one soldier firing his gun in the air as the other soldiers rounded up the villagers into a group.
"Get rid of them! Kill them all!" orders the Commander.
"Please, sir! Stop fire immediately!" demanded Billy.
"Shut up!" the commander knocks Billy to the ground with the butt of his weapon and gives the order to fire. "Do it!"
"No! Don't! Stop!" screamed Billy.
