PROLOGUE

1:30 A.M., Washington D.C, US.

Leon Scott Kenedy was awoken abruptly by his ringing phone.

Being a special agent for over fifteen years, recieving a midnight call like this wasn't strange to him anymore.

Well, yeah. He had to admit that he was sleepy like hell then. The man buried his face deep into the pillow, trying to get some more sleep.

But with the phone kept ringing, again and again, Leon had to give up. His heavy eyelids slowly opened. His hand reached for the communication device that glowed in the room's darkness.

'' Good morning, Leon! '' – A soft female voice resounded as he touched the answer button on the screen.

'' Hannigan? Are you kidding me? Can't you call at another time? '' – Leon spoke with a husky voice, drowsy and a bit frustrated.

'' Oh, I'm really sorry for interrupting your sleep. But we currently have an emergency case. '' – Ingrid Hannigan's image was then seen on the phone screen-a beautiful woman with glasses and tied-up black hair. She looked pretty polite and elegant in her black vest.

'' Can we talk about that tomorrow? ''

'' Unfortunately can't. '' – Hannigan answered – '' The trackers just reported to us about the incidents that happened recently on Granato Island, Italy. We believe those are B.O.W-related. ''

B.O.W. – There letters that has enough power to knock Leon out of his sleepy state.

'' Tell me the details. '' – This time, the agent grew more serious.

'' According to the information, there have been at least three victims. They were attacked at night. All of their blood was completely drained… '' – The female agent replied.

'' Ok. It sounds like a vampire movie. Twilight, hah? '' – Leon joked.

'' Leon, listen. We need you to get there and investigate this case. '' – Hannigan countinued – '' This may be a new virus variant. Plus, Granato is a large island with a lot of people, and it also serves as a bridge between France and Italy. If there's an outbreak, we have to prevent it at all costs. ''

Leon paused for a moment, eyebrows knit. A quick thought crossed his mind. More than anyone else, he didn't want to see anymore innocent people lose their lives because of B.O.W.

'' Sure. Of course. '' – Agent Kennedy then nodded decisively.

'' Ok, Leon. We are cooperating with the Italy Government, trying to prevent the spreading rumors from escaping to the citizens. So, you can't go by an army plane. '' – Hannigan explained – '' The leaders want you to get there as a tourist. I have booked your ticket, the plane will depart at 4:00. ''

'' Good enough. I can't get back to sleep after that call either. '' – Leon sighed.

'' Hey, are you angry with me? '' – Hannigan giggled.

'' No, not if you take your glasses off when you talk to me next time. '' – This was considered as his second attempt to flirt with the beatiful female agent. He always thinks that she would look cuter without her glassses.

'' Only if you don't turn off your phone unexpectedly, Agent Kennedy. '' – She replied with her professional and duty-serious tone.

'' Uh… Yeah. Sounds right. '' – It reminded Leon about the multiple times he smashed the 'End Call' button when Hannigan tried to convince him not to get swept into the troubles and dangers. Actually, he did feel a bit guilty and regretful about it. Hannigan has always been a helpful assistant, a truth-worthy person to him for years. Not to mention that she helped him, personally, on many occasions. But, what can he really do, since his nature just won't let him leave things that threatens the lives of many people and walk away. He does things for a greater good even though he doesn't have to, even though it will put his life at risk.

Leon got off the bed , grabbed his tight leather jacket and put it on. He didn't forget his trademark handgun, the Silver Ghost. And in addition, he also carried a pair of Wing Shooter, the survival combat knife and some loaded magazine. Hannigan said the airport security staff would let him bring along some weapons.

And then he headed for the door.

3:07 A.M., Washington D.C. Airport.

Leon arrived almost an hour early, and he, then, sat in the waiting room.

Sangue Ancient Town, Granato Island, Italy. That was where he needed to go in this mission.

According to the info Hannigan gave him, the island was located on the Ligure Sea, between France and Italy. A place with many commercial activities of the two countries and the whole Europe occur. The island is also well-known thanks to its historic vestiges and ancient towns which attracted many tourists per year.

Well, those aren't some useful information, are they? Leon thought.

He hated waiting at this hour. He was about to sleep before his phone started ringing again. '' Ding! ''

Hannigun again. Great, she wanted to become his alarm clock or what?

''Leon, before you go, I have one more important info to tell you. Half an hour ago, when we were trying to capture an infected one, a mysterious guy jumped in and instantly destroyed the creature…''

'' What the…? '' – Leon seemed surprised.

'' He fled after that. Wait, I will send you the taken pictures now. ''

A document contained some image files was sent to Leon's cellphone immediately. All of them was taken at night, everything was so blurry. All he could see was a tall figure, a dark-colored coat, maybe dark red? And light-colored hair.

'' He must be very skillful. You know our people aren't that easy to be fooled like that. We haven't figured out who he is, what his purpose is and who he is working for. So, Leon, you have to be careful. '' – The female agent seemed nervous.

" I'll be fine. Don't worry. Thanks Hannigan. '' – Leon replied with a slight smile.

'' Goodluck. Hannigan out. ''

So, was everything that happened related to the illegal usage of the B.O.W ? A new virus? Who was after all of this then?

Many questions but there was only one way to get the answers.

Whatever. Whoever. I, Leon Scott Kennedy, a soldier and agent, will be the one who'll eliminate the B.O.W. and find out the truth.

To be countinue…
