Chapter 1. A Small Town Lotus

Once Chris and Leon had arrived in the small town they were both greeted with nothing but closed businesses and empty streets.

The only sound that was filling air was coming from the church that was a few blocks away passed the old diner. The two men look at each other and started to make their way towards the church.

But was suddenly stopped as they were both pulled into the old diner that they were walking past.

" What the hell are you two doing?" A deep voice asked with a quiet hiss.

Our two heroes turned around finding a small group of people looking towards them in worry.

"T-they could be a new follower, we shouldn't have let them in." A blond woman hissed as she holds her baby close.

" Sky said that their not." a man with slicked back raven hair said as he looks towards them.

Leon examines the man closely he was wearing a greasy diner apron with a white short shelve shirt and blue jeans beneath he was most likely the cook of this old restaurant.

" So tell me why are you two here?" A Redheaded man asked causing the dirt blond agent to look towards him the guy look like he could be a private investigator from the 1920's Leon watches as he places his pinstriped fedora on the table next to the entrance.

" Probably because we finally got the big guys attention." A soft voice responded sarcastically from behind everyone.

Both Chris and Leon looks towards the small frighten group as the split revealing a short girl with green eyes and long strawberry blond hair that look a soft pink color braided into a long side ponytail that was hanging over her shoulder.

" After all, I did hack into the government's system to tell our story," she added while walking towards the two with her arms crossed.

" I'm guessing that you're Lotus," Leon said while narrowing his brown eyes towards her.

"The one and only,"

"Skylar that's dangerous." The raven-haired man hissed as he crosses his arms while glaring towards her only to earn a small glare back from Skylar.

" It was the only way to get their attention Mick and Sam was with me," she responded while placing a hand on her hip.

"Of course it was Sam,"

" Hey! It was Skylar's idea and she's right we needed to get their attention somehow!"

" That doesn't mean to put her in danger!"

" Will you two please...:"

"...Wait, Skylar? As in the Skylar from the story?" Redfield asked interrupting their argument.

Only to have the short girl look up at him with a sly smirk.

" Glad you had notice yes I'm Skylar Smith. The little girl who had escaped with her mother."

" And you're living in this town without being caught how?" the dirty blond haired agent ask as he raises an eyebrow.

" Well, Mom took me away at a young age so dad doesn't really know what I look like at now that I'm older so now I'm living under a different identity. And since Skylar is a pretty popular name, "

" He doesn't suspect you being his daughter," Leon added in slight amusement.

" Bingo, So I've been living here as Mick's second niece Skylar Robinson who had moved into town. And is still waiting for her older brother and husband to arrive since they had to stay behind to finish up the last weeks of their jobs. We all had decided to move here after uncle Mick's wife had died since we were worried that he would get lonely because he had also lost his son before his wife's death, As for the cult they let us chose to join or not but they aggressively push to where some of the town would just gave in and join. That's who is at the church right now."

" And the ones who didn't are all here."

"...Yea' during their little meeting and rituals we have our own meetings finding a way to stay strong and to get help before we all give in to their aggressive persuasion. " Mick responded with a small shrug.

" And ?"

" They found her and then he used her an example of what would happen to those who disobeyed him. He killed er' and said we can live peacefully if we decided not to join his cult. Only if we don't try to stop him if we do we're nothing but a target. That was when most of the town joined thinking after that there wasn't a way to stop him and that the government wasn't going to help since they ignore our pleads. As for the rest of us, we had decided to hide Sky until she was older." Sam responded while lighting a cigarette.

As both Leon and Chris look at eachother and nodded.

" So what's the plan?" Kennedy asked now leaning against a wall with his arms crossed while looking towards the short girl who seems to be some how the only one catching his attention during this whole conversation.

" Well first we'll have to give you two a fake identity so tell me. How do you feel about playing the role of an older brother and a husband?" Skylar asked with a sly smirk.
