Los Angeles, California- 01:07pm
I pressed my earphones into my ears and looked down at my iPod and pressed play. My fists bit into the harsh thick leather of the punching bag in front of me. My teeth snapped together as my knuckles began to become red underneath the hard hits. The bag in front of me began to show obvious wear and tear from my use, as parts of it began to dent inwards. I finally pulled away from the bag, but I kept my body moving to the music as I moved from foot to foot in my fighting stance. I took a deep breath and smirked at the broken bag in my gaze, I lunged towards it and slammed my foot into its side, the force caused the chain holding the bag to snap, leading to the bag slamming against the cold gym floor. I sighed out heavily and removed my left earphones from my ear, only to welcome someone clearing their throat. I quickly twisted around to see Chris Redfield leaning against the gym door way. My eyes widened slightly, and my mouth became dry, "Long time no see Evelyn." My tongue unconsciously licked my lips, "Hi Chris." I pulled my right earphones from my ear; he moved away from the door and walked into the humid room, "Why are you here?" I stood my ground, my body was tense I didn't know how to react, "I'm here to ask a favor." I nodded yet the seriousness in his tone made my body feel on edge, "what do I get in return if I do this favor for you?" he shook his head and looked at me with a hard stare, "This isn't just your favor, you will be helping me along with a few other people." My body relaxed more, "But what do I get in return Chris?" I said sternly, I needed an answer before I took on this ,"Favor" his hand ran through his hair then he finally spoke, "your involvement with Umbrella during the Raccoon City incident will be forgotten." My eyes widened and my eyes brows raised, "That's very generous of you, does your sister agree with this?" I smirked slightly and relaxed my body, Chris Redfield knew I was a threat and was not willing to test my strength, "No she does not, but we need at least one Ex-Umbrella merc to get into an Umbrella facility." I nodded, and began to move. I circled him looking at every detail of this man, two guns in total and minor artillery after that. A bead of sweat formed on his brown which he ignored, "what's the favor then Chris?" he stood straighter at this question, his eyes still a harsh stare, "Me, Leon S. Kennedy, Ada Wong, and my sister Clair will be heading to Russia. It's one of the few places in the world where Umbrella hasn't been fully dissolved, and it's the place we believe Albert Wesker is hiding." I chuckled in amusement, and shook my head, "Is this a personal vendetta Chris?" his brow lowered, "No, me and Leon discovered a batch of the G-virus heading for the black market; we think Wesker is behind it." I nodded and rested my forefinger on my chin, "That could be true, but remember Umbrella isn't the only company holding stock in Bio-weaponry." He looked at me his eyes softened but held an anger which wasn't towards me, "Your right, but Wesker may be able to give us an idea of may be trading black market Bio weapons." I nodded, and looked at Chris with a large smirk and held a hand out, "Well Chris, I think you know what my answer is. When do we leave?" his hand forcefully shook my own, "We leave tonight, midnight. Make sure you have got all your gear, you're gonna need it." I nodded and let go of his warm clammy hand, "Where are we meeting?" he dug his hand into his pocket to fish out a small folder piece of lined paper, "We're meeting at Fort MacArthur, this is the password to get in. punch it into the side console by the gate." I nodded and gave a genuine smile, it had been a long time since I had seen any action, "I'll see you soon then Chris Redfield." He nodded with wide eyes, and saw that it was his time to leave. He swiftly turned around and left the hot room where I began to place my earphones back into my ears, as a large smirk crawled onto my lips.
