THE FLAW OF THE FLAWLESS MAN
My name is Chris Redfield, I worked for the BSAA. You already know my storyas a soldier,
but not as a man in love with his partner, Jill Valentine.
The story described me as a someone of law, brave, and no inhibitions
to save the world of experimental creatures created from differents Virus.
The events that followed the tragedy of Raccoon city has destroyed countless lives,
and somehow, they also destroyed my life...Our lives...
I met Jill Valentine at RPD, when were a part of STARS, a few months before the incident
Raccoon .. As a new recruit, Jill already had extraordinary qualities, although it does not boast.
Always ready to serve and protect the citizens of Raccoon, Jill has always been a person
very discreet, exemplary, who never talked about her, the mission came first.
But what touched me most was her gaze. A look that indescribably
charming. When I met her eyes the first time I realized that she possessed
it something special, well beyond her physical qualities.
I still remember her first day, although we'vebeen officialy presented on the morning, it was only later on the
afternoon that we had our first contact.
"If you keep watching me in this way I may would believe that the best shotters from the
STARS has me in his sights. "She joked.
I didnt expected this. Barry often made fun of me, saying I was a little clumsy in my way
to behave with women, and that was my weak point, "the flaw of the flawless man," he said, which
will "cause my loss someday during a mission" he said.
"My apologies. This was not very polite from me. I watched you to make sure your integration
in ALPHA team goes well..You know, being the only woman in the team must be a little disturbing ... "
I did not find anything better for my own defense at this time, an argument that sounded professional
but also sounded as an attempt to dredge on the end ... and still the words of Barry that echoed in my head.
"No more than you seem to be right now Chris Redfield." she replied with a slight smile
"Just kidding, Barry already talked to me about you. Well, With your past and and talents as laudatory, it would rather to me
for being intimidated by the famous Christopher Redfield. I am delighted to finally meet you directly "
Jill had managed to turn the situation in my favor to help me to act normally, and stay focused on
a purely professional relationship. I was grateful to her, although she didnt know that at this time
my problem was not about shyness or awkwardness, but something stronger I felt in her presence.
We talked for several minutes trying to know each of us better..professionally. I also wanted
to know her skills, why she choosed to join the STARS, but also her past.
she seemed she wanted to avoid the subject. I could see in her eyes a certain bitterness of the past, but
also a light of hope for a better future.
After all, Jill Valentine was a very beautiful woman, with probably the ambition to have an happy life
an husband, some children ... Like everyone else I guess. Family life was not inconsistent with the STARS
Barry is the best example, and he was the most experienced of us.
The time had come to leave the office. We both letf the Raccoon Police Department building, to join
our respective cars. The day was very well done, I could not wait to find what would be the next day.
I had a lot of interest for Jill without really knowing why, I just knew that it was not only
because she was a new recruit. There were something else I would like to discover.
Several weeks have passed, and even out of work, I kept thinking about Jill.
We became very close, not only as colleagues and partners, but also as friends.
"Professional" friends would be more true. She didnt talk very much about her life.
But as long as I was close her, that was enought for me.
Jill were fine with everyone on the team, maybe a little less with Brad Vickers, a member from the ALPHA that
did not have the reputation of being a brave man, but she was never disrespectful to him. Jill Valentine easily
found her place in the team, although we often spent our days together.
We also worked in missions together, not only because we were close, but mainly because
we were complementary. In clear, I was the muscles, she was the brain. Jill solved much
puzzles that probably no one of us could have succeeded in these. She was really smart, and her responsiveness action was impressive.
The one who would makes the mistake to underestimate her, would have regretred it. Behind this angelic face
and her female physical, Jill were a great STARS and largely deserved her place by our side.
On the evening in my home, I usually thought about the good times I spent with her.
My life had nothing special. I lived alone in an apartment, always in a mess, which exasperated my sister Claire, when she came
home to see me almost every weekend. If I was messy, Claire was rather manic, and could not accept that i'm living in a "Garbage".
I sat in my chair, beer in hand, the tv turned on..Then i remembered that I still have to call Claire.
several weeks have been passed, in despite of countless messages she lets on my answering machine. I wasn't in mood to talk to her. Since i've meet Jill, I wanted
to be alone and and keep thinking of our relationship.
Claire would probably push me to invite Jill for a drink after job and see how things would happen between us.
But If that would be unsuccessful, this simple but so important relationship to me could be destroyed, and our ability to fulfill our missions
would lose its efficiency. I could not allow it. And Jill either. It was up to me to put in order in all of this...feelings, job, what a mess !
One weakness from, and we could fail the next mission.
The phone rang. Maybe Claire. No, it was Barry. What could he want from me now?
. "- Chris i need to see you in 10 minutes. Find me at the bar of Jerky across from your home.".
Well. Seeing Barry will help my mind to focus on other things after all. I wonder what he wants to tell me ?
It took me more than 10 minutes to change and join him. Barry was already there, sitting at a table far from other people.
- "Thank you Chris for coming I preferred to talk to you out of the office.".
- "What's wrong Barry ? I guess it's pretty important that you choosed to talk to me in there ? "
- "Before I start, I would like to know how it goes between you and Jill?"
My heart began to beat very fast. Barry was my best friend, and knew better than anyone if something was wrong
with me.
- "I dont wanna talk about job. What happen at job stay at job. After it, i return to my life so I prefer to think of something else "
- " Dont be be silly, you know what I mean ! You can't hide, kid ! Everybody sees that you have changed since the arrival of Jill,
you're the only one not to be aware of it. Today your greatest weakness is her "
I was starting to get annoyed. I did not come to that ...
- "I'm not perfect Barry, it's the team and the police who choosed to see me more perfect than I am!"
- "Calm down I gave you my opinion if you need to talk I'll always be there you know. Well, what brought me here today..
is that I learned that we will have a new Team Captain starting on post tomorrow. His name is Albert Wesker. "
Barry has now make me curious.
- " What's going on with our current Captain ? He's doing a good job ! And why Irons didn't tell us anything?"
- "This is question of the day Chris. Watch out, I have found nothing on this Wesker, there's something wrong, I dont
know what. But be careful. We all know that Irons is not a good guy, and always had a bad opinion of STARS. And recruited
a guy like this Wesker without telling anything, and the fact that i can't find any informations about him..well it is strange. "
His face let me think that something was happening, something important that elude us. I did not know
Wesker but something in my mind told me that we wont gonna be friends ...
After a beer for me and 2 beers for Barry, he finally stand up and before leaving, he put his hand on my shoulder
"Chris listen to me. I told you just now that Jill was your greatest weakness. But it's up to you to ensure
she becomes your greatest strength. I saw how you looked at her, but also how she looked at you. Your relationship is far beyond
mutual respect that you have. My opinion is that joining the STARS is the best thing that I hoped : A future for you ... Jill can gives you a meaning to your life.
If you have the strength to overcome your fear, so many wonderful things are awaiting for you both. Do not wait for the end of the world to tell her your feelings.
You never know what tomorrow will bring to you . "
