This chapter is just a tad bet shorter than the last. I'm not exactly sure what the average length of each chapter will be, but I figured this will be something close to the average.

Finally after a few more laps around the town, Chris was driving towards the Station. Jill didn't hate being on this patrol, she was just anxious to see her new work place. The man they had caught, well the one she had caught, was put into custody. They had waited for a police cruiser to pick the man up, since the Jeep wasn't really designed to hold anyone in the back. There was nothing placed in there to from keep him from jumping out the back.

"So what did you do to get recognized by STARS anyways?" Chris asked trying to break the silence between them, still keeping his eyes on the road of course. Jill was thankful, she hated people who couldn't talk and keep their eyes on the road.

"I trained with delta, mastered in bomb defusing why I was there. My instructor said I was the best he had ever seen. Guess I was better than I thought I was to be recognized by your captain." Jill answered, thinking back towards her training unit in delta. The daily routines she was brought into, the unexpected training drills and Todd. The break up was sudden; she knew Todd hated long distance relationships, he had lost many girl friends with the different military units he served under before Delta. That thought brought her back to the day both Todd and her got together.

Jill and Todd both served in the delta training unit, however they were in separate teams. They weren't even in the same training platoon. They would have never even met, if it wasn't for all the times they spent together in the mess hall.

"So I've never asked, but why you'd even join up Todd?" Jill asked once they had already finished their meals. They usually finished rather quickly, since there wasn't much free time under training.

"My dad served in marine Recon back in NAM. Guess I felt like I had something to prove, trying to become the best of the best and all." Todd replied, dragging his fork on his tray trying to pick up some remaining pees.

"Huh, don't take this in a bad way Todd. But why aren't you a Jarhead?" Jill asked, curious as to how Todd joined the army trying to prove something to his dad. Who happened to had served in the Marine Corps.

Todd gave out a slight laugh, only just loud enough for the two of them to hear. "I'm glad you asked Jill, and frankly I wasn't good enough."

"Wasn't good enough, Todd you're in delta now. How could you have not been good enough to be a simple Jarhead?"

"It was due to medical reasons; the marine doctors said one of my ears was death. Therefore I couldn't serve. In the flash of an eye just like that." Todd made a whooshing sound, while flying his hand by. "I could never even try to enlist with the marines again."

"Wait wait wait." Jill said, while continuously tapping her hand on her forehead. "Then how the hell did you even enlist into the army?"

"I lied this time, got in without a hitch. And proved to all my instructors in basic that I had more than what it took to be a simple soldier."

"You lied, so you technically shouldn't even be here."

"yeah, don't tell anyone though. It will be our secret." Todd whispered in a playful way. Not at all taking what he had done seriously. "So what about you Jill, why'd you join up?"

"Guess for the same reasons as you, my dad…well to the point of trying to prove him I can be more than what he thought I could be."

"Oh yeah, why's that. Your dad served In the military to, or did he want you to grow up raising a family with some nice ma….."Todd tried to tease Jill, but she had her head down the entire time Todd was rambling on, until she interrupted his teasing.

"He's in prison." Jill said bluntly.

"Prison, oh crap I'm sorr….." Todd tried to apologize, but Jill just continued.

"Or at least he was for the longest time of my life. He's been out for the past few years, and I don't know, I just didn't want to turn out like him I guess."

Before Jill could continue she didn't even notice Todd had grabbed her hands. She looked at him with confusion. They both stared into each others gazes. The silence of a few seconds seemed like hourly minutes.

"Hey Jill…..our weekend leaves coming up tomorrow...you…um..Want to go…Um." Todd stuttered, and Jill knew exactly what he was letting on about.

"Todd, I'd Love to."

Jill's thoughts were interrupted when Chris Parked the Jeep in the stations garage. So lost in her own memories she didn't even know they had arrived to the station.

"Guess that explains it all." Chris said "Frank was an expert in bomb defusal as well, he served in the Navy for the bomb squad for…god I don't know how many years he served in the bomb squad."

Jill felt bad for going back to her memories, while Chris her new partner was all there trying to make conversation.

"Well, we're here." Chris stated while getting out of the jeep.

"This Police station looks really big for such a backwater city like this." Jill stated while she was also getting out of the jeep.

Chris started laughing. "Don't worry; it'll grow on you." Chris started walking out of the garage, the entrance to the station was just around the corner.


Brad and forest had only been at work for the past few hours. They stepped outside of the station for a smoke break.

"Shit, so Franks gone eh?" forest asked lighting his next cigarette

"Yeah, I mean he could be an ass sometimes, but you think he would have at least told us he was leaving." Brad said taking the cigarette from forest; they had been sharing the last one. He took a quick huff and handed it back to Forest. "Hell he didn't even tell Chris."

"You're kidding?" Forest said with a confused frown as continued his smoke. "I thought those two were getting along just fine now, especially after they cooled down from that store takedown. I mean they were on edge for a while, but after the bar last night they seemed just like there old self's again."

"Right, but I don't know maybe frank had some kind of emergency or something, and he asked the captain to make up some excuse so we wouldn't be all twitchy or something." Brad suggested.

"Where is Chris anyways? I heard the captain called him in to work today, but I haven't seen him?" Forest asked throwing the cigarette on the ground, than squashing it with his foot.

"He was going to pick up his new partner, probably dropped the new guy off a long time ago and went back home to sleep or something." Brad replied, he had known since he picked Chris up this morning.

"Then why haven't we seen this Partner?" Forest asked giving a different tone on the word Partner

"You want to go around asking every unfamiliar face in the station if they are Chris's new partner than feel free."

"Up yours, so if Chris had to pick up this new partner, then I guess Frank really did planning on leaving a long time ago." Forest said.

"Yeah, guess I didn't think of that. I mean it takes a while for the captain to find new people an….." Brad was about to continue, but saw what looked like Chris coming around the corner at the end of the building. "Hey is that Chris over there?" Brad pointed

Forest looked over to what Brad pointed out to, it was a man that looked like Chris in the distance. Getting a closer look Forest was about to agree with him, until he noticed someone behind him. "Nah, that can't be him."

"And why is that, its obviously him are you blind Forest." Brad argued.

Forest began "Well you see Mr. Wannabe flyboy…."

"Screw you man." Brad interrupted, he was remarking to how Chris usually says he isn't exactly a flyboy like Chris, who used to be when he was in the air force.

"Anyways as I was saying before I was rudely interrupted. That can't be Chris, because of that fine looking chick following him." Forest said as he began to laugh hysterically.

Brad noticed the women to who forest was remarking about. He couldn't see her as Clearly as him, because in Brad angle of vision she was right behind Chris."Your right, Chris isn't the one to be picking up chicks, good looking ones at that."

"Unless he paid her to be shown off in front of us." Forest Joked

Before their conversation could continue, Chris and this mysterious Woman were now in talking range of them.

"Hey guys see you two are working hard." Chris joked.

Forest and Brad just ignored Chris, as they were now looking towards the Woman who was with him. Forest was to first to speak up in the silence. "Hay honey, you don't have to be pretending with him, I'll pay you twice the amount he is just to embarrass Chris."

"Um, Excuse me…" The Women said with a really confused tone.

"Um guys…" Chris tried to speak up, but could not get the twos attentions, as they were Clearly ignoring him.

Brad was the next to speak. "Did this jerk promise to give you a ride in some jet, because I can assure you this flyboy is a fake. If you ask nicely I'll give you ride on our squads Chopper."

"Um….." The women clearly didn't know what to say. 'How much was Chris paying her?' Brad wondered to himself.

"GUYS!" Chris Yelled loud enough for the whole neighborhood to hear.

"What?" Both Brad and forest said.

"She's my partner" Chris said in frustration.

"Partner, since when did you get a girl friend?" Forest asked scratching his forehead in confusion.

"Noooo, she is my new partner. My partner as in Frank's replacement." Chris explained

Both Forest and Brad felt like idiots at that moment. Forest however was the first to apologize, as he was to first to speak up and embarrassed his own self, since he ironically was trying to embarrass Chris. "Damn I'm sorry about that, Names forest." Forest apologized offering his hand for acceptance.

Chris's new partner shook her head slowly in annoyance. She however did shake his hand, and accept his apology. "Jill valentine." She said.

"And I'm brad, the pilot. We're real sorry about that." Brad also apologized

"Valentine eh, aren't you a little early this time of yea.r" Forest joke, trying to easing the tension.

Jill noticed that Brad handed Chris what looked like money. "Hay, what's that about?" Jill asked towards both Chris and Brad.

"Nothing, I just remembered I owed Chris some money." Brad said with a low tone whistle, as he was trying to look casual.

"Is that so?" Jill asked folding her arms in annoyance.

"It is." Chris answered

Jill held her hand out to Chris. "Hand it over." She basically commanded.

"Hand what over?" Chris asked.

"The money you bet on whether my name was going to be used as a joke by someone."

"I know that we've only just meet valentine, but who do you take me for." Chris stated looking like he had no idea what she was talking about. However, Chris didn't know that this wasn't exactly the first time a bet was made on her own name being used as a joke. Jill continued the thousand mile stare; until Chris finally gave in. "Fine!" he huffed taking the bill back out of his pocket handing it to Jill.

Jill didn't say anything after she took the money out of Chris's hand. She took the bill and handed it to forest. "Here you go." she said

"What…Oh sweet." Forest commented taking the bill.

"Hey, what the hell valentine." Chris said holding his hands out in front of him on confusion.

"He made the joke, so therefore he wins the bet." Jill replied giving a tsk tsk sound in her voice after the statement.

Brad nudged Chris in the shoulder. "I like her already." Brad said smiling.

"You're a strange one valentine, you know that." Chris commented shaking his head.

"You'll get use to it eventually…Partner." Jill laughed.


Wesker Had only just finished cleaning out the remaining items left by frank. He worried whether Chris might have noticed some of his belongings still being here, but he would just made an excuse if he asked. Chris had no reason not to believe him after all.

Wesker folded the stack of profile papers on Jill valentine neatly on his desk. His office was nearly empty, just the way he liked it. If he wasn't in there, and someone came walking in. they would probably think the office was vacant. All that sat on his desk was his own black name plate, a desk lamp, and a holder for papers with his pen setting neatly on top of the papers. He didnt even have a lab top on his desk, since he found no use for it.

Wesker didn't like having to deal with new recruits, but he needed a replacement for frank. He in a way would have preferred to keep frank, but after the other day he had no choice but to replace him. He was just lucky enough to find a recruit so quickly. Thankfully he still had contacts in the military, and was able to find this Jill Valentine.

Knock Knock Knock

Wesker heard from the door. He would have seen whoever it was that was knocking. However he kept the blinds to his door always closed.

"Come In!" Wesker spoke loudly enough for the other person to hear.

Enrico entered the room, only just barely. "Captain Wesker sir, a Jill Valentine here to see you."

Wesker used his Index finger to push up his sunglasses. "Ah yes…send her in."

Enrico nodded and left the room, as a few seconds later Jill Valentine entered the room. "Ms Valentine, it's nice to meet you an…" Wesker stopped as he noticed a man walking in behind her. "Chris?...I thought I told you that you could have the rest of the day, after you dropped off your new partner." Chris wasn't someone he wanted to see right now, but he remained looking neutral to the matter.

Chris stood by at the side of his new partner. "If you don't mind captain, I'm taking my day here."

Wesker was surprised at Chris's notion, but honestly didn't care. "I see, well in that case we can get my briefing with the two of you done at the same time then." Wesker said holding his right hand out in front. "Please take a seat, both of you."

The two of them just nodded as they did as Wesker asked.

"Now if we may start wit…."

"What happened to Frank." Chris interrupted.

Always straight to the point Chris. "As I said this on the phone, Frank transferred out this morning."

"Then why was all his belonging still in his desk."

"Frank was originally scheduled to leave next week, he didn't have time to pack everything. The rest of his things are being sent as we speak. Which could be as to why you haven't known."

"Okay, then why is he already gone?"

"Something happened with his new unit, the unit was a man down because of an…" Wesker looked for the right words "incident, Valentine was suppose to arrive a week before Frank head out to get training from him." wesker took a short breath making up his next few words. "So therefore that job is relied to you."

"Me?"

"yes, but now that I see you aren't exactly ready for something like this..I will have to assign her to a diff…."

"Captain Sir." Jill spoke up.

"Yes Ms. Valentine?"

"Redfield and I took down a suspect this morning, and from what I experienced I fell that I could learn a lot from him in the line of duty." Jill explained referring to what had just happened this morning; however Jill took down the suspect and not Chris. So she wasn't exactly sure as to why she was defending him.

'Is this True Chris" Wesker asked, seeing what looked like a slight confusion on Chris's face.

"Um…. yes sir." Chris answered.

Wesker took a moment to look at the two of them. "Okay than." he looked at Jill "Valentine, your gear is in the locker room just down the hall. Your name should already be placed on it. Take the rest of the day to get settled in to the town." Wesker paused opening a folder set next to him now ignoring the two. "You two are both dismissed."

As Chris and Jill left the office Jill didn't even say anything. She just went straight down the hall to the locker room, She was more than likely just in a hurry to get all her gear.

"So Chris, that Chicks your new partner?" Barry asked startling him.

"Yeah, what you going to make a joke about me paying her off too." Chris Laughed remarking to what Brad and Forest were joking about in front of the station.

"What, Chris what kind of guy do you take me for. Besides that thought left my head the second after she introduced herself as your new partner here to see the captain." Barry laughed. "Besides being a married man myself such Jokes elude me these days."

"Ass, so we still on for tomorrow?" Chris asked thinking of poker night that was weekly thing for the whole alpha team. Wesker was the only one never attended. Tuesday poker night was usually between Chris, Barry, Joseph, Brad and Frank. With Frank now gone it would just be the four of them.

"As always, someone has to steal your money on a weekly basis son." Barry said punching Chris on his shoulder.

"Well…I'm going to go check on my new partner before I head home. Guess I'll catch you on tomorrows shift." Chris said starting to walk off.

Barry quickly grabbed Chris's shoulder tugging him back a little. "Why don't you ask if she wants to join us tomorrow night, it'll give her a chance to get her to know us Alphas."

Chris thought of making a joke about alphas, but he figured he just get hit back twice as hard. "Maybe." is all Chris said continuing to walk off.

Walking at the corner of the Locker room Chris could hear his new partner using the Locker rooms Phone. He thought about walking away giving her some privacy, but the discussion had interest him some.

"What do you mean you sold the apartment to someone else!" Jill yelled.

Not being able to hear the other person on the phone, Chris could only guess as to what she was talking about. He could tell that it had something to do with living issues.

"I just flew here this morning, and it's too late to find a place at this time of the day. Don't you have any other apartments available there?" Jill continued to yell in anger "Hello, Hello…..Damn!" Jill cursed hanging up the phone. She sat on the bench looking towards the doorway seeing Chris "How long have you been there?" She asked.

"Long enough." Chris answered walking into the locker room. "Trouble finding a place to stay?" Chris said setting on the bench in the middle of the locker room next to Jill.

Jill huffed in frustration. "You can say that, that jerk sold my apartment to some higher bidder. Now I'll have to call a cab and find a motel or something for the night, and start looking for an apartment tomorrow."

Chris thought for a moment, trying to help his new partner out. "I got it, you'll stay with me for the mean time" Chris suggested. However, he felt like it was a bad idea the moment he suggested it, but for the life of him he didn't know why.

"Um, yeah…not only have we just met. Don't you think the rest of the unit might…..find that weird?"

"Valentine, I'm not asking you to sleep with your new partner jeez." Chris laughed awkwardly, thinking how wrong that probably came out.

"That's not really funny Redfield." Jill said giving him a serious glare.

"Sorry, guess my sense of humor is just really bad. What I'm saying is I have more rooms than people at my place, and it would be easier on me not having to pick you up or something in the morning, because you can't get a cab or something. No partner of mine is walking across town to the station."

"If this is because I stood up for you to the Captain, who I feel real bad to lying to, since I just meet you. Then you can stop offering."

"Its' not about that, but I guess I should still thank you for that while I have the chance. I'm not giving you a freebee Valentine. I still expect rent from you as long as you stay at my house." Chris Explained.

"House, why are you living at a house by yourself?" Jill asked.

"I'm not living by myself. My sister lives there too, but she isn't there often being currently in college. The house use to belong to...someone else. It…Uh was kind of a gift I guess." Chris said while standing.

Jill stood from the bench as well. "Fine, but just until I find my own place. Guess it would be easier to since my stuffs still in your jeep."

"Technically it's our jeep now. Since we are partners, but I might let you drive it sometime." Chris teased walking out of the locker room, While Jill followed.

Jill slightly pushed Chris forward. "Not if I have anything to say about that Redfield."


That was probably the fastest update I've had. It's because I'm actually having fun doing this fic. Also Todd flashbacks are being done, because he will become important later. Until the Next update, review and thank you for reading.
