Linus smiled and thanked Helen.
"I wouldn worry about it... its something new to me... It's only natural I have some nervousness inside of me you know? It's like any new big thing. First day at school, first time you start a new job... stuff like that." he smiled reassuringly and stretched slightly, moving his still slightly tired body.

She smiled back.
"Yeah,...I know the feeling,.....*The smile faded*....a little all too well."

Linus raised his eyebrows, but said nothing in reply. He got a sudden idea and reached for his bag and pulled out a CD.
"Mind if I put on some tunes...?"

Helen laughed slightly and smiled, feeling slightly better; being pulled back from that well known memory.
"Of course,.....just make sure it's low volume ok,......the B.O.W's may be able to sense vibrations, and with this jeep we're probably making them already,....but just to be on the safe side yeah?" She replied, the nice tone of her voice back again. "Besides, what CD have you got there Linus?"

"Volume... low?!" Linus gasped incredulously. "Such a thing is possible?!"" he grinned and pulled the CD out of the case - it was one he had recorded himself.
The CD slid into the CD player easily, whirred for a couple of seconds, before a loud heavy guitars and drums roared out of the speakers, closely followed by a gutteral voice.
"I'm in conniptions for the final act you came here for, The one derivative you manage is the one I abhor, I need a minute to elaborate for everyone the Everyday bull$h1t things that you have done... "
Linus grinned and glanced at Helen, trying not to headbang visibly to the music. Resisting turning it up, he "air drummed" as the chorus came on...
"I know why you blame me, I know why you blame yourself, I know why you plague me, I know why you plague yourself..."

Helen smiled to herself and continued to face forwards ever careful of where they were driving to.
~He seems to be enjoying himself,....I swear he's resisting to headbang. How sweet.~ She thought and then giggled slightly before returning to watching the road ahead.

Linus sighed and settled back properly in his seat as the next song on his CD came on, filling the 4x4 with yet more music. With his eyes closed, Linus began to sing softly - singing surprisingly well, at least - well enough to shock anyone not to have heard him sing before.
"So keep the blood in your head And keep your feet on the ground Today's the day it gets tired Today's the day we drop down Gave up my body and bed All for an empty hotel Wasting words on lower cases and capitals..."
The chorus went by, and he continued to sing the rest of the song as the vehicle made its steady progress through the ruined Racoon.

Helen was slightly surprised to hear Linus singing outloud, rather than keeping his own obvoius knowledge and liking of the song in his own thoughts. ~Perhaps it's because he doesn't think I'd mind,.....I don't mind, I think it's great he's relaxed before going into this mission,.....plus if he feels sort of comfortable around me,....that's quite a first.~ Helen thought as she continued on driving,....she usually was in the company of fellow MI5 agents, CIA and FBI visitors from the United States,.....which bored her quite a lot. Mostly the men to be frank,...and any woman from CIA really boiled her blood. Talking down to her as though she had no idea what was going on. Helen sighed outloud,......she felt rather angry thinking about it. She'd been burned one too many times, even by fellow 'workmates'. Driving along the road the scenary changed slightly as time passed,....going deeper into more industrial and less urban areas. They approached their destination, carrying on in the same manor until Helen pulled up the jeep and stopped infront of a tall building. It looked like the office front section of a research centre. Helen switched off the vehicle, and took the keys out, exiting the jeep and closing the door. She quickly apprached the back of the jeep and began to rummage through her gear; applying a hip belt allowing her to put the keys in pne of the pockets, two thigh holsters for weapons (i.e one on each thigh), and she put on a medium sized yet light backpack, but it seemed to be a bit heavy due to the equipment inside. She didn't need to check inside, but made sure she checked her weapons were alright: (STI EAGLE 6.0. A custom made gun for Helens' liking. It uses 9mm Parabellum Rounds.) Helen placed the gun in her right thigh holster which was designed to suit this weapon perfectly. Benelli M3S. An easy to carry sawed-off shotgun. It uses 12 Gauge Shot Shells. Pulling out a shotgun from out of the bag to finally complete her holding arsenal,....other items were present in her backpack for extras, but at the moment, this is what she wanted to have ready on her person.

Linus finished the rest of the song, then simply hummed the next one, glancing at Helen slightly as she sighed. There was more to her than she let on, she was probably unused to people being so open about their emotions... if of course emotions existed in the various govermental agencies. Linus had known a couple of them from the CIA... God did they lack personality.
The hacker jumped slightly as he realised they had stopped and he had dozed off into a light slumber.
He shook his head slightly, casting off the tendrils of sleep, before climbing out of the 4x4 to look up at the building before them.
"This is it then hn?" he mused aloud. He turned to look at Helen getting kitted up, and he slung on his own backpack, complete with laptop.
"Do I get some toys too?" he asked in a childlike voice, grinning.

Helen turned to see that Linus had gotten himself together again and ready to follow orders.....Well, atleat she hoped that he would listen,.....she's hate for anything to go wrong today. "Yes, this is it. Umbrella department for Raccoon City, and also another entryway into the labs below the City."
"Intelligence shows that Dr Birkin, both William and Annette were seen leaving from this exit point on many occasions,....along with two other buildings like this; therefore it's one of their main living areas."
"However......*She continued talking whilst rummaging through the large bag she had carried from the plane* .....Sherry was here. The Daughter of William and Annette, but rumour has it she's not just their daughter. William was a very clever man,.....and even Annette herself was cunning, giving a pendant to Sherry with the last G-Virus sample as a last resort option to sell off to the highest bidder.....*Helen turned for a moment and stopped the rummaging to look straight at Linus* .......the British government being one of them! MI5 had no idea what-so-ever. It was only after the damn MI6 leaked information to us for another job unrelated to Umbrella that we were able to get a glimpse into how involved our own pristine white country is."Looking rather ashamed of the truth she turned back to the rummaging. "Another Doctor called Albert Wesker, a triple agent working for Umbrella, S.T.A.R.S America and another underground research organisation,....named what - is another thing we don't know yet. His reports indicated that Sherry was a artificial child, designed for what,....again is another mystery,....but it's got to be linked to Dr Birkin's Viral research. Who else in their right mind would bring up a child and rear a family in a biohazard research area, I ask you?"
"Aha!" Helen exclaimed as she turned again to face Linus. She held out a double shoulder holster, where the weapons would be situated on a persons left and right side. Also she held in her right hand two weapons. Browning HP. Manufactured by FN, Belgium. It uses 9mm parabellum rounds. The gun was fully loaded a clip of 15 bullets ready and in place. The second being: Beretta M92FS Semi - automatic One of a thousand. This weapon again was ready, with a full clip of 15 bullets. "Be careful ok,....their my own mission standard weapons I'm handing to you, so if you're gonna use them,......I pray we don't have to; but just to be sure,......you'll have to pull your weight if I'm reducing my arsenal just for you. I don't want you to have anything too powerful yet,.....I assume you've had basic firearms training?" She asked him as she held out the weapons and holster.

Linus listened to Helen's little history lesson in silence as he looked around slightly, looking carefully for anything out of the ordinary, or anything out of place, feeling a wrenching in his gut as Helen explained the UK's own involvement. "For Queen and Country"? Yea... right... For Parliments fat back pocket more like.
He turned around at his partners exclamation, to see her holding a pair of guns and shoulder hoslters, and he grinned widely and childishly, giggling slightly.
"I'll be careful with them don't worry." he said flippantly taking off his trench, laying it on the bonnet of the 4x4 to put on the holsters, before taking the guns and holstering them both. He put his trenchcoat back on and flexed a bit...
"Hmm... gonna be uncomortable for a bit..." he mused, playing with the straps of the holster before taking each gun out and examining them, checking the magazine and the spout.
"They're in good condition. You obviously care for them well... Do you care for everything with this much care and affection?" he grinned and winked at her. "Not so much training... but I can use them yea." he nodded and grinned hefting his pack on his back again.

Helen pouted trying to stop herself from blushing from Linus' comments again.
"They're an important piece of the mission,.....terrible weapons, bad outcomes,...believe me on that." Smiling she replaced everything not needed back into the large bag and closed the jeep's boot, holding her shotgun in her left hand. "I don't know how to answer that one,......I may be a poor example of a woman but I do care for things you know,....and being MI5 your tools have to be pristine to get results. That answer your question?" She looked at him with a rather apologetic smile.
"Well then, if you can use them, that's good,...saves on time giving you a firearms lesson." She said as she clutched her shotgun in both hands and walked towards the door of the office-like building. This building was rather worn,.....it was obviously used a couple of times for a practice session with the rookie Umbrella soldiers,......some areas and sections may be worse than others,....they'd have to tread carefully,...but Helen would know how dangerous a room would be from a single scan of the place,......they'd be alright just as long as Linus didn't go in guns blazing,.....
~But he wouldn't do that,.....he's excitable,....but not an idiot,......he's managed to hack into MI5 security sections not to mention personelle files,.....he's got more sense.~ She thought to herself,....a slight warm smile cropping up on her face before she shook her head and continued looking through the glass security doors,.......she waited for Linus to join her position.

Linus grinned at Helen's pout, thinking it to be kinda cute.
"Poor example of a woman?!" he gaped. "My dear you may be many things, but a poor example of a woman? Never... You are a fine..." he winked, "... example of a woman." he laughed slightly, but with a twinkle in his eyes to show he was joking, but serious about the meaning.
He followed Helen closely to the front door, unholstering a gun and holding it ready, flicking off the safety.
"Just a precaution... I'm sure you don't want me going blazing in... but I wanna be prepared ne?" he said glancing at her before she could comment.

Helen absorbed Linus' comments,...feeling rather awkward about how to reply,.....
~You would only make a bigger fool of yourself by saying something in return Helen.~ She mentally restricted herself. She didn't feel angry towards him for being so teasing,....it made her laugh but,.....she just doesn't want to be hurt again.
"I know you've got more sense than that,......but yes,...just to be sure, draw your weapon ok." She said quitely,......and then tugged slighty at the glass door handle,......
It was open,.....
She pulled the door open, and walked inside,.....crouching slighty, STI eagle firmly held in her hands, and ready to pull the trigger.
She walked through the room,....the dust and small debris on the floor from the ceiling,.....she looked upwards to see that the ceiling was made of a rather cheap fiberboard,......brittle and damaged by something in the room above,....or by fire from Umbrella corps soldiers training,......
Looking around the floor quickly she saw no empty shells or used bullets.......
~It will be from the floor above then. Better see what the room was used for before venturing to it.~ She was already making a mental list of what to do and what not to do.
Walking further into the room, Helen approached the information and welcoming desk,......the same dusty surface and the odd piece of board was present......
The room had a set of stairs to the right,.....and an elevator on the back to the left of the information desk.
There was also a door on the left wall.
"Damnit." She cursed quietly.
~The maps Trent gave me show nothing like this,...the suit gave me a fake.~ Helen grit her teeth,.....the mission had gone wrong already,......this wasn't a good sign.
~Hmm,.....perhaps Linus could have a look at this?~ She thought to herself.
Turning round she made a beconing motion for Linus top come into the room.
"Linus,...there's computer terminals here,....could you try and find some sort of office map on these computers? It's too muct time to get the maps out from Trent,.....besides,.....the one I have, doesn't show this room,......and it's the first one too. It must be a fake." She quietly but clearly said,.....just so that Linus could hear what she was saying.

Linus followed Helen in, making his own visual sweep of the room noting how dusty it was... and how much debris was about...
He caught Helen's motioning to him and he walked slowly over, gun held low like he'd seen in so many movies and videogames.
"Sure..." he replied seriously... "If the power's still on... I mean it mighta been knocked out - how long has this place been desolate after all?"
He sat down and flipped the on switches to see what would happen. "Maybe it'd be an idea to get those maps out anyway? Perhaps the building was changed after the maps were published?" Linus said quietly.
