Hey there! This is my first fan-fic, I really don't have a clue where I'm going to take this story but I'll try my best with it and I hope you enjoy it! =D
Also I don't own any Resident Evil characters, unfortunately they all belong to Capcom =(.
Chapter 1 - Memories
September 28th 2001
"Three years. Three years since the Raccoon City tragedy. Three years since I escaped by the skin of my teeth…and three years since I've seen Sherry and Leon… I wonder where they are now."
Claire was pondering this whilst sat at her desk at work, paperwork piled high in front of her, Terrasave had offered Claire a job straight after she got back from the Antarctic with Chris; she'd snatched it up in a hope of making a difference to the people hurt by Umbrella and their viruses. As she waded her way through pile after pile she'd started to think of Leon and Sherry and what their lives would be like now, what they looked like, were they happy, all that sort of stuff. After Raccoon City they'd gone their separate ways; Claire to find her brother Chris in Europe and Leon took Sherry into his care until the government found them and took her away from him. Claire had heard Leon had made a deal with the agents to keep Sherry safe; they knew he was experienced and wanted his services, if he helped them they would make sure Sherry went to a happy family and lived a normal life…well as normal as could be after what that poor child had been through. Claire hadn't heard from Leon since she contacted him from Rockford Island for help, he was unable to leave his government training so he tracked down Chris and explained Claire's predicament, ultimately reuniting him with his sister. Claire was grateful to Leon for that. The lack of contact was not for lack of trying, she'd often left emails and texts for Leon but got no reply, this upset her but she just put it down to Leon living his own life and forgetting about his past, including Claire.
Claire glanced at the clock and realised it was five to five; she'd lost track of time and would be finished work in five minutes. She gathered her things up and headed for the door, grabbing her coat as she walked out. As Claire walked down the corridor she spotted Chris sat in the waiting area by the receptionist.
"Hey Chris! What're you doing here?"
Chris looked nervous and stood up, "Claire, I've got something to tell you, Leon's been in touch with me and he's quitting his job as a government agent."
Claire looked shocked then confusion kicked in, "You came to my work just to tell me that? Couldn't it have waited till I got home?"
"There's something else I need to tell you, he's moving from Washington D.C to New York...today."
Claire stood there dumbfounded for a couple of seconds, 'Leon was moving here? But why?'
I know this is a short chapter but I just want to know what you guys think of it already before I carry on. I'm always open to criticism, good or bad, but please don't be mean! =)
