Rebecca hadn’t expected to be congratulated on a job well done when she came back from her first mission. Not from the notoriously particular captain Wesker.

But, “good job”, was exactly what she heard, with a curt nod of his head.

Her head jerked to the side in surprise. She actually stopped short enough for Forest to bump into her back with a muttered ‘ow’.

“T-thank you , sir!” she squeaked as her comrades shouldered past.

Wesker put a hand on her shoulder, and almost smiled.

His gaze lingered on her a moment too long.

“Do better for me next time.”
