"Excella is here." Steve said.

I just felt all the joy from my time with Albert drain away. As I shook my head, I could hear her shill voice from down the hallway. She would mingle her way on up to him and be all touchy feely. She was his assistant and investor.

"My dear lotus, what is with that sour face you are making? Are you perhaps worried about Excella making your life difficult or even maybe jealous?" I felt Albert smirk from behind me.

"Of course I am! I mean, look at her, Wesk!" I said, disappearing back into my room, shoving past Albert.

He grabbed my shoulder and pulled me into a deep, passionate kiss and whispered, "She is naught but a fly compared to you, my goddess. We just have to play this right, and the world is ours. Just follow my lead, dear lotus."

"I trust you, Albert. I know you would never be unfaithful to me." I sighed, staring into his bright eyes.

"Good, now we must go, I will reintroduce you as my wife as soon as we go out there."

"No, I have a better idea. I'll have Archer give her the tour under the guise of Pheonix Corps wanting to have tricell as a sponsor. Yes, that is what we will do." I said, grabbing my key card.

"What is your plan, Tabitha?" Wesker asked, his smile slowly disappearing from his features.

"Bring her to my office at the end of the tour. I'll introduce myself to her as the matron of the Pheonix Corps and as your wife at the same time a double whammy. I doubt she'll cause a scene if we do it like that. She'll know we could turn her in like that if needed. Not that I would. I know you need her for your plans to be successful." I said, smirking.

Albert sighed and walked out the door as i turned and walked to my private
elevator. As I decended into the labs, I found myself worried about Chris and his mental state. I decided I'd check on him, at least from a far.

I walked to my office once the elevator stopped. The click of my combat boots echoing down the hall. I arrived at my office door punching in my pin code and slid my key through the slot.

"Access granted, welcome back, m'lady." White queens voice said as the door slid open.

"The plan is slowly coming together, White Queen. So he'll be out of Spencer's plans. I just had to skip a few steps, but more or less, I'm back on track." I said, staring out over the vehicle bay.

"That's good, but what are you  going to do about your brother Chris? He is digging, and we run the risk of being caught by both parties," the ai said, appearing in her hologram form in front of my desk.

"I gave something to Clive to help appease Chris, a special zippo lighter and USB stick with my plans against Spencer just like the one I gave Albert. In fact, let me make a call to O'Brian." I said, pulling out my phone and dialing O'Brian.

"O'Brian, here what do you need, Ms. Lancaster." Clive asked worry in his voice.

"Sigh, the jig is up, Clive. Albert's partner found out who I was and told him. I have to go quiet for a long while. Tell Chris that you lost contact and to assume  the worst. It's time you gave him those items I left with you. Play the message  file I left on your desk, the blue usb. I'm changing the plan up." I said, sitting in my office chair.

"So we have to restructure the plan on our end too then... All right,  I'll tell Chris, but just be careful. Do what you need to do and bring this bastard to justice." Clive said, hanging up.

I pulled the phone away from my face and placed it under a false bottom in my top left desk drawer. It was time to break away from conventional and be the Pheonix I know I am. I just needed to check on my little brother one more time before I cut contact. O turned on my monitors and accessed the B.S.A.A. headquarters cameras, and I saw Chris walk into O'Brians office.
