"Tip tap …tip tap…" A woman wearing a soft leather boots suspiciously walking toward the door with a handgun in her hand. It was dark and only 1 light hanging on the ceiling. Wearing a long sleeve jacket and a pair of light brown jeans .At the 30th floor , the woman gets ready to hack the last plaga which Ada Wong stole earlier from Leon.
"Click click click .. "
"Shit.. It's locked. How am I suppose to hack into this damn room? " The woman said to herself with frustration and she kicks hard to the door. She gets nervous and looked at her wristwatch, it stuck at 9.26pm.
"Oh great! I have to hurry! What am I'm going to do now? Think! "The woman muttered.
"Oh yeah.. I have a great idea." The woman reached for her bag pack and pulls out a pick locker and still holding her handgun.
"Hmmmm. Thanks to my brother who teach me such a portable thing. I love you so much." The woman said with a big grin on her face .
As the woman was trying focus hard to picking the lock on the door and never realized someone was behind her.
The woman froze and the pick locker falls down onto the floor while a cold metal touched on back of her neck.
"Well well well… Claire Redfield isn't it? You shouldn't be here." A woman muttered at her from the back and playing her red ponytail. "What are you trying to do then? Hack in this… compromising room? You are just a… What do we say? Let's say you just a normal citizen not an agent or whatever shit spy. "
"Who the hell are you then? How do you know my name? " Claire was surprised and ask with full of confusing around her head but the voice of that woman very familiar to her.
"Who am I? I'll leave that to your imagination, Miss Redfield. Now, put your hand up and hand over your weapon or else …"
"Or else what? Immediate me? " Claire hissed .
"Miss Redfield, you haven't changed . This is your last warning. Don't do anything clever. Hand it to me NOW!" The woman muttered and pressed the gun hard against Claire's neck.
As the woman cocking her gun. Without hesitating, Claire turns around with full speed and wanted to attack the woman with her handgun. But the woman grabbed her hard on her right wrist, she pinned her wrist on the back and thrusting Claire facing the door with her forearm . "Slam!" Claire's handgun dropped on the floor while the woman twisted her wrist once again. "Ahh.."Claire in pain when that woman twisted hard .It's a waste that Claire couldn't see the woman's face. Only 1 light on this floor , that is behind them. Only the woman could know who she was.
"I told you. Don't do anything clever, Miss Redfield. Why you disobey me? "The woman whispered near Claire's ear.
"Let go of me! You bitch!" Claire struggled and trying to get off from the woman . But the woman is too strong and pushes her hand up hard and making her yell in pain.
"Ouch..Please let me go. You are hurting me. My arm is going to break! Let go Off.." Claire bagging and yelling at the woman to let her go. Claire's arm is going to broke by the woman if she push it harder again. But the woman never listened to her. She wants to make Claire suffered from pain.
"Why don't you just say a word? Let me go, you animal ! " Claire shouted her in whatever bad words to her but the woman seem not to care about it.
The woman keeps silent as she enjoys watching Claire yelling in pain. After a moment , Claire fell into unconscious when the woman slammed the butt of her handgun down on Claire's head. Everything when quite and cool.
"Have a sweet dream my dear and you really shouldn't be here." The woman squatted down and smile at her.
Claire groaned. It was hard to open her eyes and she hurt like hell on her head. Blur vision appearing while she opened her eyes. Only a few candles place on the side of the table .A shadow appeared on the woman's eyes as Claire couldn't noticed who she was. Claire only could see a woman with the side view, who sitting on the wooden rocking chair with crossing leg .Heard a creaking sound while she swing the rocking chair .She stressed out her right hand to raise a glass of red wine that on the table. Drank a little sip with satisfaction .
Claire slowly blinked her eyes into clear vision. But it seem to have to take a moment into clear vision .Claire was thinking what had happened to her? Why had a damn headache? Izzit last night she drunk? Where is she now? As her eyes came to a focus , she realized she been tied up with rope around her body against the metal pole. The rope tied her up so tight until she couldn't even move.
"It's a ton while I carry you" A smile appeared on the woman's lips as she gently roll and focus her glass of red wine.
"What ton? Hey..You… How dare you!" Claire said it with confusing at first then just realized that the woman was trying to boil over her.
"Alright.. (Take a deep breath )Just tell me, how long that I'm out?"
"About 2 hours."The woman reply .
"And who the hell are you? What is this damn place? And what do you want from me? Untie me now!" Claire could see clearly at the woman side view. But haven't known who she was because it was too dark to see on her face.
"Welcome to my apartment ,Miss Redfield , "Claire glowered at the woman. The woman drank another sip and stand up from the wooden rocking chair , but still at side view who stared at the poster of Athabasca Fall that hanging on the wall. "You are only just a citizen who would give trouble to me. Seriously…" The woman black high heels boot tapping on the floor while she walk toward Claire . As the woman approached to Claire, she squatted down and face to face with Claire. "I don't need you."
Claire froze a moment .
"Ada?! You're the one who attack me. Why Ada? " Claire astonished while seeing Ada just in front of her.
"…" Ada said nothing and just smile at Claire and drank another sip of wine. "Want some?" Ada rolled the glass of red wine and focus it as Claire stared angrily.
"Answer me!" Claire shouted at Ada .
"Well…"Ada got up and drank the last sip of her red wine. She headed toward the table to take the wine bottle and pours into the glass that she was holding.
"Are you deaf? Ada! Answer me!" Claire frustrated with Ada's slow motion and yelling hard at her.
"If I haven't shown up, maybe your life will be in Wesker's bare hand. But I don't know what he's going to do with you." Ada took another sip of red wine and walk toward her. "Maybe you will become one of them… Let's say .. Creature or monster and you will kill your friends, your partner and your brother as well. " Again, Ada took another sip of red wine.
"I… I…. Just want to help Leon..." Claire faced down and confess to Ada with sadness in her voice.
Ada's heart skips a beat while she heard the name of Leon.
Claire looked up at Ada with anger and said "You! Bitch! You stole the las plaga from him . You … Little… bitch.. #$% ... How dare you!." As Claire scolded Ada with billion of impolite words, but Ada doesn't bother her and give her a smile.
"What are you smiling at?" Claire frowned and glared at Ada .
Therefore , Ada squatted down and gentle touched her face . Claire tries to avoid her touch .
"You should try this wine. This wine is from…."Ada couldn't continue her sentence as Claire break into it.
"Wesker! I know Wesker gave it to you. Why you still work for him? "Claire blazing on her. Ada just stared at her.
"This wine is the most expensive from France. I just brought it yesterday. You should have try it, I know you will like it." Ada placed the mouth of the glass near Claire's mouth . But Claire refused to drink it.
"Oh yeah? The most expensive wine? Where did you get that money from to buy such stupid wine? Huh? Wesker gave it to you? Huh? How much did he pay you monthly ? 100 thousands? 200 thousands ? Or success a mission in 1 million? How dare you betray Leon. "
"Come on, have some drink ." Ada didn't bother what Claire just said. She just smiled at her and place the glass mouth near her mouth. But Claire still refused to drink it.
"Don't.. Give it to me. You are trying to drug me. I know you would do that. You sly bitch! " Claire yells at Ada.
"Oh please, Miss Redfield. " Ada get up and walked toward the rocking chair. "You still act like a child. It's fun to watch." As ada sit on the rocking chair and swinging forward and backward with a creaking sound .
"Could you please untie me? My body is going to numb soon.. "Claire hissed at Ada.
"That's your problem." Ada took another sip of red wine with crossing leg.
"Hey! Which side are you standing? Helping Leon with out of a sudden and then stole the las plaga from him and then working with Wesker . If you want to kill me then kill me! What are you waiting for? Don't torture me like that " Claire yells hard with frustrated until watery in her eyes.
"You could untie yourself with your own hand. " Ada was watching and rolled the glass of red wine in her hand.
"What? Hey! You tied me up like a criminal .How could I…."
"The knife... Is just in your sleeve, Miss Redfield." A big grin on Ada's face as she drank another sip of red wine.
Claire was searching the knife through her movement of her hand. "Ouch" Claire accidently cut her wrist while she pulls out the knife. Her blood soaks into her sleeve jacket.
"Careful, the knife is sharp." Ada whispered as she drank another sip of wine.
"Why don't you just tell me earlier? "Claire stared at her angrily . Claire quickly cut off the rope . The rope was like a murder weapon or could hang someone by the neck. It was strong and thick. It's taken times while Claire was trying to cut it off.
Claire glanced at Ada with hot under the collar while cutting the rope. As Claire was done, she makes a lunge for Ada and place the knife on Ada's neck from behind the rocking chair.
"Your wrist is hurt, better get checked on with that. Miss Redfield. And… (Breathe deeply ) I could smell blood." Claire's blood soaks through her jacket and dripped on Ada's collar. The knife placed very near on Ada's neck and could see the red line on her neck.
"I don't care. I could just kill you by this knife!" Claire muttered at Ada.
"Alright.. Do as you like." Ada seem doesn't care about her life. She looks cool and relax in these dangerous situation. NOT BAD...
"You... " Claire grabbed hard the knife's handle and shaking. She doesn't have that courage to take away someone's life. Claire slowly loosened the knife without notice Ada's reaction. Ada grabbed hard her wrist as Claire yelling in pain. Quickly snatched the knife from her and tossed it away. There was a clinging sound while the knife hit on the floor.
Ada still grabbed Claire wrist hard to stop the blood from bleeding .But then, Ada pressed too hard on Claire's wrist and making her struggled .Ada dragged her half way to another room , Claire felt dizzying and kneel onto the ground.
"Hey, Where are you taken me to? I'm sick and in pain, please stop, Ada. " Claire closed her eyes as she would feel the earth shaking . Ada watched Claire suffer on the floor, she released her and rush to take a first aid kit from the cabinet that near to the kitchen and rushed back to her. Ada kneeled down beside her and took out a clean cloth to apply it gently on her wound .
"As I already have told you, better check on your wound. Miss Redfield." Claire couldn't say a word because of her dizzying.
"Come on. Take a rest in my room."Ada placed one of Claire's arm around her own neck and supported her by grabbing Claire waistband. Ada puts Claire into a lying position on her King size bed. Claire could smell Ada's scent that on her bed. A big teddy bear that just beside Claire. Ada sat at the edge of her bed and prepared a washcloth to clean Claire's wound gently . Claire whispered in pain while Ada cleans Claire's wound. After cleaning, Ada placed ointment on Claire's wound to help the surface moist. Next, Ada bandage on the wrist to keep the wound clean and avoid infecting in her wound.
"There you go." Ada smiled at Claire and placed Claire's hand into comfortable position. Claire couldn't open her eyes because of dizzying .
"Thanks Ada. But, you and I haven't done yet." Claire hissed at Ada.
"Rest in peace. " Ada was joking with Claire and walked toward to the exit of her room.
"Rest my ass peace.. I am telling you, I'm not done with you yet! Ada! Watch out ." Claire yelled hard toward Ada.
Ada shut the door behind her and smiled to herself.
