Chapter 1: Partners

It was a normal day in the Raccoon City Police department. It was approximately 6:00 p.m. and Chris, Forest, and Joseph were on the out back balcony. Chris was leaning on the balcony with a cigarette in between his index and middle finger of his right hand. Forest was arguing over girls with Joseph, and Chris just stared out at the setting sun. Chris always enjoyed staring out into the sunset. It reminded him of many memories that he had of his family. There was a feeling of relaxation in the air and Chris didn't have a care in the world at that point. He was listening to Joseph and Forest though.

"Hey did you hear about this new chic coming into STARS. From what I heard she is mighty fine." Forest remembered because of his girl argument.

"Yes I do and knowing you she is on your hit list." Joseph said back while rubbing his forehead with his thumb and index finger. This caught Chris's attention.

"Wait we have a new STARS member coming in and she is a female?" Chris said genuinely shocked.

"Yeah and I want to show her the ropes." Forest said being the pervert that he was.

"When you say the ropes I think you mean your bed sheets." Chris said causing Joseph to chuckle.

"Be that as it may I think she would agree with me." Forest said in a proud voice.

"Hold on a minute I just realized something. Since I was the last STARS member to join and I don't have a partner due to the odd number of men we have that means she is going to be mine right." Chris said thinking if his statement was true. Joseph nodded at Chris's previous comment.

"I read her file and I have to say she has an impressive resume." Joseph remarked.

"That is correct I do have an impressive resume." A smooth female voice from behind the three men inside the precinct building.

Chris was the last one to turn around and when he did it felt like his throat asphyxiated. He couldn't do anything but open his mouth but nothing came out. Surprisingly Chris didn't loose his cool. He looked completely calm compared to the other man next to him who was Forest. The women in front of him had pale blue eyes which Chris found very attractive. Her short cut chocolate brown hair moved slightly with the wind that came in from the open door. Her bob style hair reached her shoulder just barely. She was wearing a black mini skirt and blue blouse. She seemed to be Joseph's height because of her black heels. She wore a small amount of make up. At most she had on mascara and lipstick that was all. Her other feature naturally were distinct such as the slight tint of rose that resonated from her smooth and blemish free cheeks. Her stance was not of you everyday women. Instead she had a straight posture and was standing in an almost attentive stance that hinted her previous background with a type of armed force. She gave a smile with her full lips.

"Hello there, now what is your name?" Forest said without the slightest hesitation.

"My name is Jill Valentine and I will be working with you starting tomorrow of course." Jill introduced herself.

"Well I am forest and I would like to show you the ropes around here and some of there." Forest said hinting there was sexual deviance masked in his voice. Jill noticed it and slowly walked over to Forest she moved her lips near his ear and whispered in a seductive tone loud enough for Chris, and Joseph to hear,

"I am sorry Forest but I prefer handcuffs." As Jill said this they all heard a multiple clicking noises. Forest then noticed the cold feeling of steel around his wrist. Jill had handcuffed him to the railing of the balcony. Joseph and Chris couldn't contain their laughter and neither could Jill.

"That went better than expected." Jill said in an almost cheery tone.

"Hello Ms. Valentine I am Joseph. I am second in command in STARS. You will be taking orders from Captain Wesker but I will be there in case of any reason for Wesker not to be with us at that time." Joseph formally introduced himself.

"It is an honor to meet you sir. I will be looking forward to serving under you." Jill said as she firmly shook the man's hand.

"That's what she said." Forest remarked while he tried to get free from the handcuffs. Jill shot him a dirty stare that shut him up.

"Hello Ms. Valentine I am Chris and I um am looking forward to uh working with you.' Chris's face began to turn red. Jill didn't say anything she just stared at him and he stared back. They both lost track of time and things around them. Jill began to blush herself. There was a connection that was made between them and Joseph and Forest knew it. The feeling of the air around them was dense according to the two of them. Then man's voice spoke behind them in a British accent.

"Ah Ms. Valentine I see you have met some of our more notable members." Wesker said as if Forest, Joseph, and Chris were the only worthy ones besides Jill to be in STARS.

"Forest why are you handcuffed to the railing?" Wesker asked giving him an unseen death glare because of his pitch black shades.

"Oh I am sorry sir but he got a little carried away, and I didn't want him to loose control of his libido." Jill said with a triumphant smirk.

"Remarkable you put him in his place. It was about time and of all people the rookie." Wesker praise Jill's actions.

"Well I have some paper work here I need you to fill out. As for tomorrow you are going to be wearing the standard police uniform until we get you STARS uniform as well as the standard issue service handgun. Is that alright with you Ms. Valentine?" Wesker informed her that her gear needs to be ordered and manufacture before it got to her."

"That will be fine thank you." Jill said as she turned to Chris.

"Well it was nice meeting you and I am excited to work together." Jill commented.

"You guys aren't just going to see each other around the office. You two are now partners and Chris I trust you more than anyone else here and I know you won't try anything funny so that is just another reason you are partners." Wesker added input to their farewells.

"Oh well that is great. I guess I will see you later partner." Jill commented with a smile.

"Alright partner" Chris said back and then turned around.

Jill was didn't turn and walk away. Even though they ended their conversation Jill decided to check Chris out a bit. She was taken out of her day dream by Wesker who escorted her to the room where they held the new uniforms for the police.

In the parking garage of they police station Chris found Jill searching through her purse. He went over to help because she was struggling with a stack of paper work as well. Jill heard Chris coming because the thudding sound his boots made on the concrete. She picked up her head.

"Oh hello Chris can you do me a favor and hold these for me." Jill handed the stack of paper to Chris who willingly took them.

"Damn it where is it." Jill said while rummaging through miscellaneous items.

"What is it you are looking for?" Chris asked to see if he could help in any other way.

"I can't find my bus ticket and it is going to be here in 10 minutes and I have so many things." Jill was panicking and Chris knew it.

"I can give you a ride if you want." Chris offered hoping she would say yes so that on the way to her place he could get to know her more.

"If that isn't any trouble I would appreciate it." Jill said thinking the same thing Chris was.

"Not at all, we are partners we are supposed to help each other out." Chris said while escorting Jill to his 1993 green Toyota corolla. Chris put Jill's belongings in the trunk of his car and then went into the driver's seat. He started the car and they left the parking garage. They drove down the roads of the surprisingly empty city.

"Is the city usually this quiet?" Jill asked as she looked out the window.

"At night yes during the day no." Chris replied

"So why did you decide to join STARS?" Jill asked as they drove down the streets.

"Well I first joined the Airforce when I was a teenager. I was one of the best pilots that they had. I wasn't in it for a long time because I was honorably discharged for reasons I rather not speak of. I think command wanted me out anyway because I was very argumentative and they disliked me. Then after that seeing that all I knew was weapons and defense I decided to become a police officer. Nothing special I wore the uniform had the duty belt and did what every other cop did. Then one day an old family friend of mine came to me and asked I would like to join a new organization called STARS. Seeing that it was still here in this city I thought I would give it a shot. Ever since then I have been here and am one of the best marksmen. I am proud and happy that I took this job. I don't think I would give it up for the world." Chris finished his speak with a smile

"Wow you were in the Air Force?" Jill was genuinely surprised.

"Yup, and now I would like to hear your story if you don't mind?" Chris asked he new partner to see if Joseph was telling the truth about her combat record and resume.

"Well I haven't done as much as you have but before I got this job I trained under Delta Force. They turned me into what I am today. I had great friends but they all turned into drill instructor the next minute. It was really tough being with them. I never did work for them but I know all about their missions." Jill finished her fairly short story.

"Is the right? I was thinking of joining them but in the end it chose the Air Force." Chris was interested in Jill's story and was upset it was a short one.

"Hey Jill, now can you do me a flavor? It is the same thing as a favor but it tastes better." Chris finished with a chuckle.

"Sure" Jill said giggling at his flavor joke

"Would you come grab a few drinks with me? I am paying and I would be happy to help you with you paper work." Chris said trying to convince her to join him.

"I would love to. Also I noticed that all STARS member had different handguns than that of the normal police officers. I know the standard issue side arm for the police is a browning hi power, but your handgun looks like a Beretta M92fs Brigadier. Why is that?" Jill couldn't help but notice the sharp looking handgun on Chris's thigh.

"Oh good questions, you see in STARS we have connections with gun shops and a famous one here in town Kendo's is very famous for his customization. We had him customized an M92fs Brigadier to make it more accurate and durable. He also made it look sleeker. Everyone has their own custom type. This one here is my custom one. The weapons are Called Samurai Edge. That is because well Kendo is Japanese American.

"Nice, I can't wait for mine." Jill said looking at it.

"You can look at it at the bar which we are at right now." Chris finished his sentence and exited the vehicle.

There were a lot of people inside watching sports and what not. Chris got a table for the two of them. Jill put her stack of paper work on the table and Chris came back with their drinks. Jill pulled the first piece of paper out of the manila folder and took a look at it with Chris.

"Ah this is the fun paper work. We have to design you uniform." Chris said smiling at the paper.

"Hey who said all police work sucks?" Jill said chuckling to herself

"Hmmm what color do you want?"

"Something that has the same color along the lines of blue." Jill replied

"How about a pale teal color?" Chris said trying to interject possibilities.

"I like your thinking Chris." Jill said shooting a smile of approval.

"Now we all were body armor. As you can see mine is external but yours can be either or."

"I want mine internal, and maybe form fitting so I don't look bulky."

"Alright but it is a requirement to where some sort of external protection." Chris said trying not to bring her down too much.

"I guess I can use shoulder pads, or something."

"That's good we can do that." Chris said as he wrote down on the paper that showed a diagram of the human body so the maker of the suit knew where to put what.

"What color pads do you want Jill?" Chris asked as he continued to jot down information.

"I really like teal… how about a darker teal, and we can do the same for the combat pants." Jill added

"Ok then teal it is." Chris said as he finished up with that piece of paper.

"Now we get to customize you gun." Chris said while pulling out a paper with the diagram of a gun on it.

"Yay oh and by the way you said I could take a look at yours." Jill said causing Chris to reach and unholster his weapon. Jill took it and dropped the loaded magazine from it. She racked the slide to see if there was a bullet in the chamber and sure enough there was. She took the spare bullet and put it back into the magazine.

"This is a nice piece. Can I have mine just like yours except with a lighter blue on the insignia?" Jill asked politely.

"Sure it can be whatever you want." Chris continued to write down information.

"Chris why don't you let me do the paper work it is my job anyway." Jill was upset that he was doing everything and she was doing nothing.

"It is ok just sit back drink and give me ideas." Chris reassured her

"Are you sure Chris really I can do it." Jill wasn't sure what to do or say.

"Really its fine trust me." Chris said giving her a smirk that made her smile.

It was about 11:45 am when Chris and Jill finished. Chris drove Jill back to her apartment. When they got their Jill was stumbling over. She wasn't drunk she was just tired. Chris helped her get her stuff and they went up to her apartment. Jill was moaning because her feet hurt from the heels she wore for orientation. Jill took a few tries to open the door to her apartment. When Chris walked in it was clean and smelt like a fruity air freshener. He looked around through blood shot eyes and smiled. It was the same setup as his. When you first walk in directly to your left is the kitchen. It had a small table with two chairs, a refrigerator, stove, and sink. If you walked past the kitchen to your left further down was the bathroom. It was small but could still fit two people comfortably. When you walk in to your right was a pretty spacious living/TV room. It had a sofa that could sit three a coffee table, and a single sitting chair that faced the far side of the room. The far side of the room was all large windows that restricted the amount of privacy that you had. It had long blinds so if those were down it would be as private as it gets. If you were to walk past the living room you would enter the one and only bedroom. It was a big room about the size of the living room itself. It held Jill's queen sized bed which was considerably not big enough for the room. It was against the back wall in the center of the room. It had a lot of walking around room. On the part of the room far away from door was a dresser and giant round mirror. There was a jewelry box and a radio on the dresser top.

"Chris what are you smiling about?" Jill asked as she threw off her heel.

"This apartment is the same as mine other than the furniture of course." Chris said still with the smile on his tiresome face.

"Of course" Jill said as she went into the bedroom.

"Make yourself at home." Chris heard Jill say from behind a closed bedroom door. Chris sat down on the one and only couch and laid back. He put his arms on the top of the couch as if he had two girls on either side of him. A few minutes later Jill emerged with a purple tank top and black women's sweat short with two purple stripes down the side of them. Chris just looked at her with a dropped jaw. The tank top she wore showed off her curves and Chris was able to somewhat see through it. Her shorts hugged her waist and buttocks and Chris took in every moment her could. Jill noticed him staring at her cleavage.

"Eyes up front soldier." Jill said playfully.

"Yes Ma'am" Chris said staring her in the eyes.

"Sorry I am not wearing make up." Jill apologized and looked away so he didn't see her like that. Chris stood up, walked over to her and griped one of her shoulders with his large hands and then took the two fingers on his free hand and lifted her chin.

"You look beautiful make up or not." He said with raising his eyebrows slightly and he smiled at her. She wanted to explode whatever he was doing made her want him so badly.

"Easy for you to say, men don't wear make up and most of them including you are as handsome as hell… oh I am sorry." Jill noticed she admitted to Chris that she thought he was really handsome.

"It's fine you're not the only one. You don't think I notice how all girls stare at me in the police station or on the streets?" Chris said chuckled at her comment.

"Don't think you are going to try to get me with your charms because I said what I did. We are partners nothing more. The most we are going to get is like brother and sister because that is as far as i am willing to go with you." Jill said giving him a smile that said everything was strictly professional.

"Ok Jill but I think I should be going." Chris said as he looked at his silver watch.

"How about you stay here Chris? You look too tired to drive anywhere and no offense but I don't feel like investigating a fatal car crash that killed my partner tomorrow. Oh and Chris I am not taking no for an answer." Jill was serious she didn't want him getting into a freak accident.

"Alright if it is ok with you I will spend the night here." Chris started to take his boots off.

"Of course it is. Remember we are partners we are supposed to help each other out." Jill quoted Chris from earlier.

"I see what you did there. Ok well does the couch pull out?" Chris asked to see if he was going to sleep in a bed or a couch that night.

"First of all yes it does but it doesn't have a mattress and second of all you are not sleeping on the couch. It is as hard as a rock. Come you can share a bed with me." Jill signaled for him to follow.

"Are you sure Jill I mean it is your bed I don't want to take it from you?" Chris wasn't sure if he should share a bed with Jill that night.

"Yes I am sure Chris I won't bite." She gave a playful smile to Chris.

"Ok but I need to shower though." Chris said as he took off his bullet resistant vest.

"Well I have a shower so lucky you and the towels are in there behind the door." Jill directed him as she went outside to go get the rest of her belongings.

Chris entered the shower and turned it on. He stepped inside and thought about Jill. He had never felt that way before about any other women. He knew there was something about her that was different. He didn't know if Jill felt the same way about him. He knew she said he was handsome but it could have been a friendly compliment. He needed to think but it was always about Jill. He finished his shower and remembered he left his boxers in Jill's bedroom. He tied his towel around his waist. He walked into Jill's room and closed the door.

Jill went out to her car to get her police uniform. She opened the trunk grabbed her uniform and duty belt. She was thinking about Chris. She was hoping that what she said didn't give herself away. She knew there was something about him that she never felt before. She wanted to tell him the truth but they just met a few hours ago. Strangely they both trusted each other completely. She thought it was because partnership. She also wondered if he said she was beautiful was sincere or a compliment. What ever it was she was going to have to work with him for as long as they are on the force.

Jill took the elevator to he floor and then she walked in her apartment. She saw the bathroom door was still closed so she assumed Chris was still showering. She walked over to her bedroom door so she can put her uniform out for the next day. She opened the door and Chris was standing in front of the bed with no clothes on. He was drying his hair with his towel and was facing the other way. Jill stopped in her tracks and had her chance. She looked at his backside. She saw his toned back and every part from his back to his feet. She stopped midway down and stared at his buttocks. She chose not to make her presence known so she had more time to check him out. It was pure muscle and nothing as was the rest of his body. She smiled to herself and then sighed. Chris took the towel away from his face and saw in the mirror Jill staring at his bottom and smiling. It didn't strike him that she was satisfied with what she was looking at and as a natural reaction he did something to stop it. He turned around which gave Jill the chance to see his manhood. His sudden movements didn't take her attention away from his areas. He launched his towel at her face and when she took it off to continue looking but he was in his boxers by then.

"Happy?" Chris asked with a nervous smile on his face.

"Quite" Jill responded still smiling.

"What is the matter never seen an ass or penis before?" Chris asked as he hung the towel over the door.

"I have seen one I just haven't seen one that belongs to a soldier. I could use the word defined to explain it. Fine I will just come out and say it you have a nice ass, and nether region." Jill admitted

"Does this mean I get a turn." Chris asked as he walked over to his side of the bed.

"You wish. That was an accident and nothing else. The only time you will get to see me naked is if you are my husband but that isn't going to happen so just get that thought out of you head." Jill told him off

"You never know it might be an accident one day." Chris teased

"What ever just go to sleep it is late. Jill just wanted him to sleep next to her. She admired that for his young age he was lean and muscular. She liked that he wasn't overly muscular. She lay down next to Chris who was only in his boxers and said goodnight. Chris replied the same and moments later Jill heard light snores. It was time for her to sleep, and start a new adventure with her partner Christopher M Redfield.
