It was Jill Valentines first day of teaching at Sejm High School. It was an old building that eventually got converted into a school about five years ago. She checked herself out in the mirror to make sure she was presentable for work. She wore a black skirt that came down to just above her knees, a blue strapless top underneath a white cardigan and a pair of black knee high boots. Before leaving the house she grabbed her coat and her blue beret that matched her top.

On arrival at the school, the large gates to the car park were already open. She noticed the school had a large metal fence around it. Which she assumed was to stop the kids from truanting.

"Excuse me," Jill called trying to get the receptionist attention.

"You must be the new technology teacher," the receptionist held her hand out to the young woman. "My name is Ingrid Hunnigan."

"Jill Valentine."

"It's nice to meet you. If you would like to follow me. Miss Wesker is expecting you."

Jill followed the woman down the corridor and up the stairs. There was a bench next to the door that led to the head teachers office.

Ingrid pointed toward the bench. "If you just take a seat there, Ada will call you in."

Jill just nodded and sat down, nervously tapping her foot on the floor.

"Miss Valentine," someone called through the door. She stood up and removed her coat, holding it in her arms.

She opened the door to reveal a large room, looking around there were two wooden bookcases, filing cabinets and a wooden desk with a young woman behind it. She had short dark hair and when she stood to greet Jill, she noticed the woman was wearing a black skirt and jacket with a red shirt underneath.

"Ada Wong," the woman introduced herself. "I am Alex and Albert Weskers secretary. I will let her know you're here."

Jill watched as Ada disappeared through one of the two doors and then returned as fast as she went.

"Go ahead," she pointed to the door she had just come out of before settling back down on her chair to file her nails.

"Moira can you get Polly ready because we need to go now," Barry shouted from the bottom of the stairs.

"Barry, can you tell the girls I'll see them after school."

"Will do, honey." Barry kissed his wife goodbye and watched her leave then turned back to the stairs, "Moira."

"Daddy, why do we have to go to the same school as you work?" Moira grumbled dragging her school bag downstairs.

"Where's Polly?"

Moira shrugged. "She said she wanted to get ready on her own."

oOo

When Jill entered the room, she saw a young woman with long blonde hair that fell just passed her shoulders. She was sat with a smug smile on her face, her arms folded over her chest.

"My name is Alex Wesker. You've met my brother Albert, he was the one that will have interviewed you for the job. He's the vice principle here." Alex told her standing up. "If you'd like we can get started with a tour. Your first class isn't while after dinner so you have plenty of time to get to know the school a little better."

"I don't mind getting straight into it," Jill said bluntly.

Alex just smiled at her and then continued on. "Ada would you hold my calls for a few hours while I give this lovely young lady a tour,"

"Of course," Ada replied.

"So, just down the corridor is the Math, English, Geography and Science classes," Alex explained taking her a tour through the upstairs corridor.

"It's a big school. Did you ever get lost when you first started working here?" Jill asked curiously.

"No and you won't either. Don't worry I keep a very close eye on my staff. Do you play the piano, Miss Valentine?" Alex asked trying to change the subject.

"What's that got to do with anything?"

"I'm looking for a part time music teacher. It's just the students have one free period and I'd like them to spend it learning something rather than standing around the halls taking space up."

"I could have a go."

Alex and Jill had made it downstairs now, passing classes as they walked through the corridor. "So this is the art class. We have the cafeteria down to the right along with the toilets. This is the computer class and here is where you'll be working," Alex told her stopping outside the last classroom. "The gym is just this way."

They stopped just inside the doorway of the hall. "Mr Redfield a word please."

The man came over to greet them and turned all his attention to the young woman. "Hey you must be the new teacher."

"Jill Valentine," Jill gave him a smile.

"Chris Redfield. If you need me anytime you can either find me in here or the computer room."

Alex's phone started to ring. "If you will excuse me I have to take this, any problems just ask Mr Wesker."

Claire was on her way to the school to surprise her brother at work. Since she had time, she decided to take a quick detour to the cafe not far from the school. There wasn't a queue so she went straight to the counter.

"Can I help you?" a woman asked.

"I would like to order a cheese burger to go."

"Is that it?"

"Yes," Claire confirmed holding out the money ready.

"Ok, it'll just be 10 minutes."

Claire finally went back on her way to the school. Once she had arrived, she parked her bike up on the side of the road seen as she wasn't allowed to use the car park as it was only reserved for the staff and students.

"I'm finally here," she said aloud to herself. She placed her helmet on the bike and headed to the gate at the top of the path that led down to the school.

"You have got to be kidding me," she thought aloud to herself again.

She then noticed a young man with light brown hair, wearing a blue uniform.

"Excuse me," Claire shouted through the gate to get his attention which actually worked.

The young man eventually walked over to her after checking out his surroundings probably making sure it was him she was talking to.

"Can I help you?" the man asked looking a little confused.

"Can you let me in?" she blurted out.

"Seen as you're outside and you don't look young enough to be in school. I don't think I can."

"You're security, right?"

"Yeah, first day on the job actually." Leon said truthfully.

Claire let out a breath and decided to go back to her bike and wait, on the plus side it would give her time to eat her burger she hadn't eaten.

Leon felt sorry for the young woman and removed his keys from his pocket. "Hey wait. Seen as it's nearly time for school to end, I'll let you in just this once."

Leon opened the gate just enough to let her in and locked it straight back up.

"Thanks," Claire smiled then held out her hand for the young man to shake. "Claire. Claire Redfield."

"Leon Kennedy," the young man replied shaking it. "I'll walk you up."

"How are you finding your first day at school?" Claire decided to ask making conversation.

Leon was just about to answer when he was cut off by a woman shouting.

"Natalia, I've told you before about misbehaving."

"Kids have to be kids sometimes, right?" Claire tapped the woman in passing.

"Not when she gets kicked out of every nursery I put her in," the woman told her stopping to stand next to the red head.

Claire knelt down. "You should listen to your mom."

"She's not my daughter. I'm her temporary foster parent until we find her another home," the woman explained.

"What happened to her parents?" Claire asked, coming to stand face to face with the woman.

"Her birth mother gave her up when she was just a baby and her last foster parents died in an explosion when she was three."

"Wow, she's not had the best of lives."

"Could I give you a card? We're always looking for new families," the woman said before dragging the little girl off.

They must have been talking for a good ten minutes seen as the school bell rang for the students to leave.

"You should be ok now. I have to go and open the gates," Leon told her slowly backing away.

oOo

Claire arrived at the gym to find nobody about, not even her brother. She headed out into the corridor to look around. She passed a class only for her to realise someone was in there without students. She doubled back and knocked on the open door.

The woman turned to look at the redhead.

"Have you seen Chris Redfield?"

"Who's asking?" Jill asked.

"Claire Redfield. Chris is my brother," Claire confirmed.

"He said he'd be in the computer room. I can take you if you'd like?" the woman offered.

Claire just nodded and waited until the woman grabbed her bag and coat.

oOo

"Chris, there's someone here to see you." Jill told him excitedly.

"What are you doing here?" Chris asked, shocked to see his sister.

"I wanted to surprise you, see how your first day at work is. Plus I love the cheese burgers here," Claire smiled guiltily.

"Claire, how's college going?" Barry asked coming over to give her a hug.

"It's going great thank you."

"I'm going to go, Ciao." Jill told them waving.

"Take care," Chris waved back.

"See you tomorrow," Barry added.

"Daddy, are we going home yet?" Moira shouted barging through the door with Polly.

"Yes in a minute. Daddy's just working on something," he told them then turning back to Chris who was on the computer. "So can you sort it for tomorrow?"

"Claire can catch we catch up a little later?" Chris pleaded with his sister.

"Fine, how about I take these two down to the cafe and you can text when you're done." Claire volunteered.

"Thanks, Claire," Barry smiled.

oOo

Leon walked around the school checking every classroom to make sure none of the students were still here. He had already talked with Barry and Chris. He headed up to Alex's office to lock up, he opened the door to her secretaries office and it looked as though no one was in so he was just about to lcok the door when he heard something coming from Alex's office. He slowly opened the door and walked further in until he felt something hard hit the back of his head.

"Ow," he groaned.

The lights suddenly turned on. "Who are you?" a voice asked from behind.

"I'm security for this school," Leon explained turning to face a dark haired woman. "I was told by Miss Wesker to lock her office up."

"Sorry," the woman apologised putting the mug down she had used to hit Leon over the head with. "I thought you might have been an intruder."

"It's finenext time call out," Leon told her rubbing at his head. "Who are you anyway?"

"Ada Wong Alex's secretary," Ada introduced herself before turning to leave, she then stopped to say one last thing, "I do hope your head feels better tomorrow."

Leon just watched as the woman walked out of the office without a care in the world, he then noticed something shiny on the floor. Picking it up it for a closer inspection he found it to be a gold locket.

"This must be that woman's," he thought before calling out to her, "Ada wait."

oOo

Claire was just heading out of the school when she noticed a blonde woman with short blonde hair talking a little too loud to a young girl. Her hair seemed to match the woman's.

"Look Sherry honey, I need you to stay here," the woman told the young girl.

"Why can't I go with you?" Sherry asked.

"Mommy has something she needs to do," the woman explained.

"Claire," Moira pulled at her arm.

"One minute," Claire let go of the girls, " Excuse me, I'm going down to the cafe down the road, I can take your daughter as well while you're done that is."

"No my husband will be arriving soon and I don't want my daughter going with a stranger."

"I was only thinking about your daughter, having to sit here alone," Claire spat back before returning to Moira and Polly.

What Claire didn't know is someone was watching her every move very closely from the minute she managed to get into the school to the argument with the blonde woman.
