Chapter 4:
Rebecca
Date: 12/3/2013
Time: 11:40 am
Chris's P.O.V
This can't be happening, it just can't be! The last time I saw her was that welcome back party we threw for Jill back in 09. She is just one of the many people that got hurt by disappearance and I feel like she won't be able to forgive and she's the nicest person out of everyone that I know. Maybe this just pure coincidence or it's just fate, but hey, it's nice to see Rebecca again.
I heard her say my name and brought my focus back to her. She's changed a bit. She looks a bit tired judging by the bags under her eyes, and her hairs grown a little, but not a lot. "Chris is that you?"
"Yea it's me Becky," I said. I gave her a bear hug and she hugged back.
"It's good to see you, how are you doing?" she said. Her voice was both filled with happiness to see me again, but at the same time filled with concern. "I heard what happened, I'm sorry."
"Thanks, I'm doing alright," I lied. "Wait, how did you hear what happened to me?"
"Back in October, I ran into Leon and he said that he ran into you in China. He told me what happened, I am so sorry Chris. And I like the beard you've got going on." I guess she was talking about the beard I've been growing for a while now due to the fact I've been busy. "It's fine, and thanks, I guess." I said with a slight chuckle.
"By the way, whose this ?" I said pointing my head to the guy that was next to her. She turned her head to face the man next to her then back to me. She sighed then said, "W should found somewhere to sit so I can explain everything."
"Okay." We all went to a tiny cafe and I sat opposite from Rebecca and the man. Rebecca ordered a hot chocolate, the guy ordered a black coffee, and I ordered some ice water with a lemon. After we got our drinks, Rebecca started talking.
"Do you remember the assignment BRAVO team was given when we were sent to the mountains back in 98?"
I nodded my head and said, "Yea I remember, that's how everything started." She looked to the guy then back to me and said, "Chris, this is Billy Coen."
I looked at him for a minute, then it hit me, now I recognized him! I remember reading her report and it mentioned that she ran into him when she was on that deserted train. And how they escaped. I remember him getting arrested back in 02.
"How come he's out of prison and wasn't he on death row? Last time I checked he got caught arrested back in 02." I said pointing at him.
Billy spoke up, "Let me explain; yes I did get caught back in 02. And a couple months later before I was supposed to get executed, one of the men that was in my unit that framed me confessed and I was exonerated of all charges. The reason why he confessed was because he had stage 4 cancer and he wanted to do the right thing before he died. So after I was exonerated, for some time I was helping the military by finding my old squad that framed me because after I got out they went M.I.A. After we found the last one back in 10, I looked for Rebecca until it was around Christmas that year."
I looked at Rebecca and said, "He's serious?" She nodded, "We've been living together and dating ever since. He's a private Investigator for the military and I still work at Washington General." "That's good, I happy for the both of you." Rebecca's phone started to ring so she left to answer it.
After she left I asked Billy, who was taking a sip of his coffee, "Can I tell you something, but can you promise not to tell Rebecca?" He nodded and said, "Sure."
"When Rebecca asked me if I was okay, I lied. I'm not okay Billy and I don't know if I will be." Billy asked, "What Happened?" His voice filled with concern and curiosity. "On December 24th, 2012 I led a team to stop an insurgency who were using a new virus called the C-Virus in Edonia. I promised my team that I would bring them home safe, but I failed them. During the mission we met a woman named Ada Wong. She ended up turning my men into B.O.W'S while me and my partner watched in horror. One of them attacked me so bad that it caused head trauma and ended up with amnesia for 6 months." I made a fist under the table as I recalled the events. "During those 6 months I stayed in Eastern Europe, drunk out of my mind due to the massive guilt I had. Piers ended up finding me in a bar and brought me back to the B.S.A.A because of a crisis in China. During the mission I got my memory back and I was hell-bent on revenge. In the end, Ada died, we resolved the situation in China, and Piers sacrificed his life to save mine. I still carry the guilt with me, knowing that all those good men died under my command. I also know that those that I love were hurt by my disappearance and I thinks it's time for me to face my demons."
I looked at Billy and saw that he was shocked by my story. Just as Rebecca was coming back, my phone vibrated and I saw that I got a text from Leon letting me know that he was here.
We all went outside, I saw Leon and nodded my head to him and he did as well. I turned to face Billy and Rebecca, I shook hands with Billy and said, "Pleasure to finally meet you Billy." "Like wise." I went to Rebecca, "Rebecca, I can understand if you don't forgive me for my disappearance and making you guys worry about me. I just want to let you know I'm sorry." I pulled her into a bear hug. She whispered in my ear, "I forgive you." When I let go she gave my cheek a little peck. "See you soon Chris." "You too."
I went to Leon and shook hands, "Good to see you again Leon." "Like wise, listen Chris can you ride in the back?" "Okay, I guess," I said as we went to the car.
I opened the door and got in. Once I shut the door, I heard a voice I immediately recognized, "Hello Chris, my you've changed a bit facial wise."I turned to be facing Ada Wong.
Shocked and confused I said, "Leon?" "Yea Chris?" "WHAT THE FUCK IS THIS BITCH DOING ALIVE?!" Leon responded as they drove off, "Told you this was a bad idea Ada."
Again I'm sorry it took so long. Remember to review and follow the story. Next chapter Ada and Leon try to explain to Chris what really happened and we learn some news about Claire.
