The Hive
The evident incompetence of the Raccoon City Police Department by not having Matt Addison on their file since he was a new entry greatly angered him, since as an officer he enjoyed order. He filled in Alice and Spence Parks on the situation and what they were doing in the mansion after the Red Queen's defenses gave them amnesia. He greatly impressed them with his leadership skills.
