Chapter 7

Getting Ready To Go...

Once they got outside Leon's office, Lexy noticed that he was now a head agent. "So, Mr Kennedy you're a head agent are you," she says as she rubs her thumb over the back of Leon's hand. Leon likes it when she does that. She used to do it all time, even when they were at work as she would do it to keep him calm. "Yes, I am now." Leon smiled as he opened the door and lead Lexy inside.

Leon's office had changed from the last time she was in here. As it was now had one wall painted ice blue and the rest cream, as before it used to be just cream. There were more pictures about and the furniture looked more comfy. "It looks more lived in and friendly now, but I do think that may be you could have chosen a different colour, as the blue looks a bit cold." Leon just walked over to his chair and sat down before answering her. "Well, I like the colour and any way, I am normally the only one in here." Lexy walked over and sat on his desk, with her feet hanging between his legs like old times. "Well, you know that now you will be sharing it with me. I don't mind the colour anyway, as it reminds me of you," Lexy said while leaning forward so her elbows were resting on her knees. "How come I will be sharing?" Leon questioned. "I am working here now remember and I am also a head agent and we are going to be sharing an office. So, soon my name will be on the door." Lexy said with a smile. "So, what do you want to do then?" Leon asked as he leaned forward and he put his hands on her legs. Lexy didn't say anything but she just closed the gap between them and kissed him.

Leon was a bit taken back by Lexy's actions but once he overcame his shock, he kissed her back. Without breaking the kiss, Leon got up so he was stood in front of her and put his arms around her. Lexy responded by wrapping her legs around Leon's waist and moving one of her hands up to rest on the back of his neck. They both knew that they should be spending this time they have to get ready but they didn't care. Leon ran his tongue over Lexy's bottom lip to get her let him put it in and after a few licks she did. It went from just kissing to a tongue war in a matter of minutes but that was how they liked it, as neither of them liked to lose at anything. Their war was interrupted by a knock at the door and so they reluctantly parted from each other. "Come in." Leon called.

It was Ark that came through the door, one of Leon's friends that he trusted. As he did have many friends but there were some that he didn't trust completely. "Well, I can see what you two have been up to. So, I came to get the pair of you to come and get ready, as if you didn't realise that we have a mission to complete. Once we have you two can finish whatever you were doing, ok." Leon just laughed what Ark had to say but when Leon turned to look at Lexy she seem a bit embarrassed by the fact that Ark knew what they were doing, so he pulled Lexy against him and whispered "it's fine, just ignore him, I normally do." Lexy laughed against Leon's chest. "What is she laughing at?" Ark asked. "Nothing, anyway I thought you said that we had to get ready." Leon pointed out. So with that he moved away from Lexy and then she got off his desk and followed the boys out.

"So, I see that you two were getting reacquainted," said Ark. Lexy walked up to Leon and brushed her hand against his and said "what is the problem with that?" Leon took her hand and Ark looked back at them and then said "there is no problem with that, I just thought that maybe you two would get back together." Leon just shook his head and they all walked towards the hanger. While they walked Leon brushed his fingers over Lexy's wrist and he could feel the scars that were there but before he could say anything Lexy spoke, "its ok now, you're back. Everything will be ok now. Don't worry about me, I will be fine now ok. There is no need to blame yourself, as I know that you do but don't, I choose to do that instead of finding someone to talk to. I know that you have done it while I wasn't there." Leon had no idea that she knew that he had hurt himself, so he chose to ask. "How do you know?" "I just know who you are Leon; I know that you wouldn't have found someone to talk too, as you don't talk to anyone about what goes on in your head, just like I don't. We would only tell each other what was going on in here (pointing to her head) and as that we didn't have each other, we did something else, instead of talking. I will say that you could have found someone to talk to who may understand you but I don't have any close to me that I know that may understand what was going on in my head." Leon knew what she said was right and that he could have found someone he could talk to, but he chose not to, as he didn't like telling people how he really felt. He knew the reason for that was because of everything that has happened and due to the fact that most of the time he had to hide and push down how he really felt for a mission or to help someone else to feel better. He did hate it sometimes, as there were times where he felt scared and that he was going to die but he couldn't show it, as he was meant to be strong for the other people he was working with, as most of them haven't been through things like he had. For Leon the only person he could be himself around was Lexy and when he came back and couldn't find her, it felt as if he didn't have anyone anymore and that he couldn't be himself.

Lexy knew that he would be thinking about what she had said and she knew that there was no one that she would or could talk to about what she had been through, before and after Leon died. Even now, some of the past things she went through are still there and she hates that they can still mess with her head but that is the way her life is. "I get what you are saying Lexy and yes you are right, I could have gone to someone but I didn't. I do wish that Adam had told me where to find you." "Well, let's not think about that now. We have each other now." Lexy said.

"Right, before we get to the hanger, we need to get ready to go. Lexy you will find a locker with your name on it and Hunnigan said that it is the same password as you used before." Ark told them. "How long will it take to get there?" Lexy asked the boys. Leon looked down at her and said "around 45minutes." They continued the rest of the walk in silence.

10 minutes later they had all finished getting ready to go.

Leon had chosen his normal hand guns, Silver Ghost and Wing shooter, a customized AKMSU, survival knife and a few grenades. Ark had chosen a Nine-Oh-Nine handgun, Semi Auto Sniper, combat knife and a few grenades. Lexy had chosen Angel her demonic sword and Devil her demonic handgun. "Right lets go then." Ark said then started to walk towards the helicopter.

Once the three were on the helicopter, Leon briefed them on their mission. "So, we going to get a female named Topaz Angel and bring her back here. If we encounter Umbrella agents then we do what we can to get Topaz and get out. If we do find her parents then we leave them. We will find Topaz on level 14, in a holding cell as Umbrella doesn't trust her..." "Why don't they trust her?" Ark interrupted. "I was getting to that. As I was saying, she is in a holding cell as Umbrella don't trust her because she is close to Lexy and Umbrella think that it will take them time and maybe help to get her to come over to their side, as they think that Lexy has turned her against Umbrella and what they do. Whatever happens, one of us has to get Topaz out of there no matter what." Lexy looked at Leon and she couldn't understand why getting Topaz out was so important. "What do you mean Leon that one of us has to get Topaz out no matter what?" Leon looked at Lexy and then said "it's just what will happen. Topaz is more important than you think. Her real parents are important people as they are top agents in our organisation." Lexy had no idea about that and she thought that Topaz probably didn't know that either. "So, does Umbrella know who Topaz's parents really are then?" Lexy asked. "We don't know, but I think that they may do. We will get her back Lexy ok."

They had no idea of what they will find when they get there.
