"Hello?"  the tall blonde woman called out as walked outside, Barbara gripping her hand tightly in hers, birds squawked and fly up from the trees causing the two women to jump, leaves and wind start making their way to them making the girls walk backwards suddenly a man grabs the blonde woman and pulls her inside, pulling Barbara along.

"Who are you?" the woman cried holding tightly onto the young girl's arm, "Move!" a man said making her run, "Don't touch her!" Barbara hissed "Stop!" the woman cries "Get away from us!" both girls shout at him "Down!" the man shouted and pulled both girls to the ground throwing himself over them to cover them as a tiny round box slid across the floor.

Windows break and glass flies everywhere as people jump into the house, the man tries to attack the people while the woman and Barbara cowered in the corner, "What are you doing? I'm a cop! I told you, I'm a cop! You're breaking my arm!" the man says as people grab him arm and strip him from his coat and gun hostler.

Meanwhile a person walks to a mirror and starts moving around as another two enter and walk to the two confused women "Report. Report now." one says as both pull the women up to their feet, "What?" Barbara and her mom ask confused "I want your report, soldiers." the other one adds "We don't know what you're talking about." The woman says looking around at the men, "Sir, the house's primary defenses have been activated. They're probably still suffering the side effects." the one at the mirror says, "What are you doing with us?" the man handcuffed on the floor asks.

"What about the cop?" the one holding the Barbara's mother asks as he and the other pull the two women to the mirror, "Matthew Addison. I'm not getting a match." one says as he plays around with a tiny wrist like computer, "Who are you?" a feminine voice guard, asks pointing her head at the man's head. "I just transferred. They probably don't even have me on file yet." he says, "The locals are inefficient. It's possible." the one with the wrist computer says,  "Should I secure him here?" the feminine guard asked "No. We take him with us." the man holding the blonde woman says as he takes off his mask.

"You can't do this!" the handcuffed man, Matthew, shouted over the ragging helicopter that were outside, "Blow me." the feminine guard said taking off her mask, "Prep for entry to the Hive." the one in front of Barbara's mom said just as the mirror opened to reveal a passage inside. The all walked down the stairs into a small like station and quickly board the train, "Power's down." one of the guards says making his boss reply "So fix it."  the woman says and jumps down a hatch, "I'm on it."

After fixing it and looking around for the source of the noise she heard, the woman stands up just as her colleague asks "Are you done yet?" making her jump "Jumpy." smirking at her colleague she connected a bar and jump back up. "Stand clear!" the man says and closes the hatch.

"You got a problem?" the female guard asks the passengers that were seated down looking at her as she tried to open a sealed door. "How's that door?" the leader asks, "It's sealed shut." the tan skinned woman says just as her partner said cheekily "Let me." clicking his tongue at her in a teasing matter he tried to open the door, finally opening it a body collapsed against him making him lay the body on the floor and point him gun at the unconscious man, "Jumpy?" the tan woman teased as a paramedic woman kneel down next to him.

The blonde woman seems to have a small flashback about the man while Barbara has one of her own, the man pushing the door to her room open holding a birthday cake with a beaming smile and her mother next to her, a faded happy birthday song is heard in the background.

"Lie still. Lie still! Watch this light. Follow it." she said pointing a light at him, seeing he was corresponding , turning off the light she raised three fingers and said "Now, how many fingers am I holding up?" "Three." the man groggily said  "Good. Now tell me your name." the paramedic added  "I...I don't know." the man stuttered, "He's fine. Memory loss, just like the other ones." she says.

"Let's open that door." the leader says as soon as they reach the other station, "Listen to me. I want to know who you people are... and I want to know what's going on here. Now!" the blonde woman says, hitting the leader's arm while still holding Barbara's hand  "You and I have the same employer. We all work for the Umbrella Corporation. The mansion above us is an emergency entrance to the Hive. You are security operatives placed there to protect that entrance." The leader explains, "What about this?" the woman asks playing with her wedding band  Your marriage is a fake. Just part of your cover to protect the secrecy of the Hive. Although the birth was not fake."  "And what is the Hive?" Barbara's father asked. "Show them." the leader ordered  making the tech guy say "Accessing schematic of the Hive. Raccoon City, nearest urban center. The mansion where we found you... and through which we gained access to the train... which, in turn, brought us to the Hive. The Hive itself is located underground... deep beneath the streets of Raccoon City. A top-secret research facility... owned and operated by the Umbrella Corporation... the Hive houses over 500 technicians, scientists and support staff. They live and work underground. Their research is of the highest importance. Its nature is classified. Our position on the map is indicated by heat signature."

"Why can't we remember anything?" Barbara asked rubbing her small nose slightly as she had just sneezed "The Hive has its own defense mechanisms... all computer-controlled. A nerve gas was released into the house. "Primary effect of the gas"-- complete unconsciousness lasting anything up to four hours. Secondary effects are varied, but can include acute memory loss." the leader tells them "For how long?" Barbara's father asked curiously "Subjective. An hour, day, week." the leader tells him, "So you're saying this place was attacked?" both Barbara and her father ask, "I'm afraid things are a little more complicated than that." the dark skinned man says.

"Sir! We've breached the Hive."
