Worry clouded the young girl's eyes as she looked out the window of the helicopter as it lifted off from the beck of Whitehouse. It had been one year since the kidnapping… and the events to follow… it was so surreal.
That day when her escort was pulled over and gunfire cut through the air like a hot knife through butter; she had been going home and everything seemed so happy. But then… there was the found of an explosion and her vehicle was ambushed. Her secret service agents didn't stand a chance…
Soon, she felt arms grab her body and a black bag covered her head and she felt the world go dark. It was as if… when the world went dark… she was transported into this one; this world of death, despair and fear… lurking every corner…
A few days after they had returned, Leon and she had gone out, even though it took Ashley much coaxing. They went to a small café and started to talk, she told Leon everything that hurt her about the island… after she had realized what she was doing, she expected him to just sigh and walk away.
But… he didn't. No, he just looked at her with his gruff face… though his eyes were as soft and warm as polar fleece. As they finished up, they talk more and more until Leon finally popped the question.
"Ashley… do you want to… go out sometime" he had said, in that voice of his.
The inside of Ashley exploded with fireworks of joy, but the outside stayed calm and cool… a trick she had learned on the island. Of course she said yes, and the two exchanged smiles. But then… two of her agents rushed in from the black van that they had traveled in. The first grabbed Ashley and picked her up, pulling her to the van and the other talked to Leon as they ran after the man. Ashley was immediately thrown into the back where another man was working a cell phone and talking in low whispers. Leon jumped in the back and sat down, pulling Ashley close to him.
"Ashley…" he whispered his right hand on her waist and the left on her head. "Listen…"- the van started up and she could feel them take off at an incredible speed-"Ashley!" shouted Leon, shaking her to get her to focus more on him and less on what was happening around her.
She looked up and saw Leon and stared into his eyes, by now she was very, very worried and breathing faster then normal.
"Ash… I'm sorry… but your Father has been killed" the girl gasped and covered her mouth, a breathless 'No!' escaping her lips.
Leon soothed her nonetheless, "Ashley, they don't know how or why but these men and I have been ordered to take you back to the Whitehouse. They've cleared all the offices out and everybody is full alert and we are taking you to a bunker below the building." From there they hit a bump and Ashley felt her heart leap with every word and everything went black. She had fainted.
One month later they learned that is was sniper fire… another month passed and they learned that it was a secret organization that was first controlled by Umbrella, but was lost contact of after the destruction of the company.
A few weeks later, we learned that Ingrid Hunnigan had been the inside man… it all made sense, why there was barely any record of her, why she knew so much. It had all been a safety insurance from the beginning.
As days and days passed on, Leon and Ashley grew closer and Leon trained Ashley after she asked him. So they spent the year after they left the bunker and everything got back under control training her and soon… she was ready.
Then… one day… Leon showed up late for one of there practices. So, she went to Leon's room, after all, she had ordered to give him a room inside the huge home that was right next to her's, after all, he was technically her guardian now.
When she entered a foul smell hit her like a brick wall, she covered her noise and continued in. She went over to his bed and saw that sheets were mangled in an odd way… and the window was open!
She ran over to a desk that was in the corner of the room and opened the main drawer and found that his gun and four clips of ammo were still in there. He never went anywhere without his gun… never. Immediately, so called for security and soon they had a link… but… a few days earlier she had been searching on her Dad's computer and found a document that had caught her attention.
It was labeled 'S.T.A.R.S.' and clicked on it only to view a roster of all of its active agents. Also, finding that a few of them had had ties with Leon so she called in one of her agents and told him to get and print off the file and bring it too the 'Distress Centre' in the building.
"Call everyone on that list that is capable" she ordered as she went to a locker as a maid brought in a special bag she had been keeping in her room.
"What should I say?" he asked, a little unsure about the plans. After all, technically, after her Father had died she wasn't even suppose to be in the Whitehouse to begin with, but since her Uncle had been his campaign advisor and he had found a loop hole and managed to pass a bill in congress allowing him to take Ashley's Father's place.
"Tell them-"she started, but then stopped when she found that inside the bag a small bracelet that she had never seen before. There was a tag on it and she looked and it said, 'Love you' and Leon's signature completed it. "Tell them that Leon Kennedy has just been kidnapped…" She said as she put the bracelet on and turned around, facing the man with a fierce stare. "And… that a rescue is now to be sent in on the double"…
