"Do something cop!" Luis said struggling with the ropes that tied them together.
"After you." He replied with a grunt. The man raised up the axe and Leon got an idea. "Now!" He yelled pulling away from Luis. Luis caught on and pulled away also, allowing the blade to come down and sever the rope holding them together. They both rolled away from one another and the man with the axe prepared for another attack.
"Hey ugly!" Morgan snapped at the psycho villager. "You forgot about me!" The man turned around slowly and gave her a look that made her shudder. He said something and started towards her. Leon looked up to see Morgan roll to the side as the axe came down in the spot she had been sitting in.
"Morgan you should have stayed quite!" Leon yelled getting to his feet and running towards the villager. The man was raising the axe again to finish her off, hovering over her and leaving no escape. Leon pulled the knife from his boot out and tackled the man to the ground while bringing the blade into his heart. The axe landed inches away from Morgan's face, which had gone completely white, and the man didn't move. Luis took this time to flee from the room in order to escape.
"I wasn't going to let him kill you Leon! If I hadn't said anything that axe would have cut you in half! I d-don't think I-I-I could have h-handled that…" Her voice trembled as he stood to look at her. His expression softened and he knelt down next to her.
"I know," He sighed with a small smile, "Thank you." His words made her smile. It was nice to have done something right on this mission for once. Leon helped her sit up and untied the ropes around her ankles and wrists. They left marks on her wrists but at least she was free.
"Thanks." She smiled. He nodded and brought his hand to her face.
"I didn't know…I'm sorry that you had to be part of the Raccoon City incident." He whispered. His thumb wiped away the tears that clung to her face, now dirt covered from rolling around in the dirt grounded shack they were in. Morgan gave a quivering breath and the smiled into his hand.
"It's fine, it's just that when I remember it I remember how horrible everything was. I knew a lot of people that became infected, most my family and friends, our neighbors, the part that makes me sad the most is remembering the fear and how many people had to suffer that way." She admitted closing her eyes. Leon gently put an arm around her and pulled her close. He understood too. Heck, he even said he was only on the police force for a day because of the incident. He had to deal with a lot of infected people who had families and lives of their own. He wasn't too happy about that fact, but it was how he had made it this far.
"I'm glad someone understands me, knowing that there is at least one person makes it all a little better." She smiled into the embrace. Leon nodded. What she said was true. He had worked with Claire and survived it, and that made him feel a little better knowing he wasn't alone with that memory. Now knowing that Morgan had been part of it too seemed to bring a connection.
"C'mon Kiddo, we need to get moving." He sighed after a few minutes. Morgan nodded and smiled up at him, blushing noticeably. He oddly liked when she blushed.
"Yes sir Romeo sir." She mock saluted and headed towards the door. She stopped when she noticed Leon reaching for his communicator and rejoined him as he called Hunnigan.
" It's Leon and Morgan. Sorry we didn't get back sooner, we were…" Leon paused.
"A little tied up." Morgan finished. Hunnigan's eyes narrowed in alert.
"You're both ok though, right?" She asked.
"Fine." Leon replied. "There was a male civilian held captive, according to him Ashley's in a church somewhere."
"We've seen the church, we just don't know what's inside yet." Morgan announced.
"What happened to him?" She asked.
"He…escaped." Leon sighed.
"You said you know where the church is? Do you know exactly where and how to get there?" Hunnigan asked.
"No, but apparently there's a secret passage in the village that leads there." Leon replied.
"So we're heading back to the village?" Morgan asked.
"Yes." He nodded. He hung up with Hunnigan and looked around the room. Morgan seemed to be interested with something for she began to walk outside.
"Leon there's a guy…but he doesn't look like anyone we've come up against so far. I think he's friendly." She said approaching the cloaked man. Leon rolled his eyes. Only Morgan would use the word 'friendly' to describe someone who wasn't crazed like the villagers.
"Over here strangers." The man beckoned. Morgan strolled up to him calmly and tilted her head.
"Hey there, who are you?" She asked.
"I am the merchant." He replied in a raspy voice. She smiled.
"Well hello Mr. Merchant, nice to meet you. I take it you sell stuff?" She seemed completely calm around him. Leon watched closely, just in case this was a trick.
"Yes, take a look." He said revealing what he had to buy. Morgan noticed the handgun and shotgun she could buy. She pulled out the pearl pendant she had retrieved earlier and got the handgun and ammo.
"Do you think we need another shotgun?" She asked Leon. He thought about it and nodded before buying one. Morgan got some more ammo for her TMP's, grenades, and first aid supplies. "Alright, I think we're all good here. Thanks Mr. Merchant." Morgan smiled with a wave as she shoved the newly bought shotgun in the back of her vest, seeing as how she didn't have a holder for it and didn't see one to buy. She was good at improvising though.
"Alright, come on." Leon said turning and heading towards the front of the shack they were near. There was a gate, and it looked like the only way in or out. Leon kicked it open and pointed his handgun around.
"Villager, 3:00." Morgan announced bringing out her handgun and shooting the man. Leon joined in and they headed towards the wooden steps that connected the two ledges together. Morgan hesitated. She really didn't like heights. "Right now I really hate my life." She muttered as Leon ran forward and kicked a villager back. He ended up knocking two more down with him and they fell down to the depths below. Leon began over and stopped when he noticed her hesitation.
"You alright?" He asked.
"You know I think I'll just chill here for a bit." She laughed nervously. He rolled his eyes and grabbed her hand.
"Maybe I should call you 'chicken' instead of 'kiddo'." He joked. Morgan didn't laugh as he pulled her over the thin wood planks. She simply held his hand tighter as if letting go meant dying.
"S-Shut it Romeo." Morgan stuttered glancing over the small walkways. "I'm just afraid of falling to a painful death. If anything I'd rather face the villagers than falling." She replied as they entered a small hut. Morgan and Leon searched for anything useful and looked around. There was a door and Morgan opened it to find some more villagers in a storage room. She brought out her shotgun and aimed for their heads. It took less time than her handgun or TMP's. Once she disposed of the villagers, Morgan slid the shotgun where she had it before and continued forward.
"Up we go." Leon commented as he climbed a wooden ladder to the opening in the ceiling. He glanced around as Morgan climbed up all the way.
"I spy me some treasure Captain Kennedy!" She grinned spotting a chest. Leon raised a brow at her as she walked up to it.
"What am I, a pirate now?" He asked. She nodded happily and opened it up to see half a hexagon piece. "That seems important. Give it to me." He then said as she took it out. Morgan handed him the piece and he stuffed it in his pocket. They then started moving down a wooden plank that brought to a few villagers. A man brought a hand sickle down on Leon and cut his arm open. He grunted in pain and stumbled back as another villager threw an exploding bottle.
"Whoa!" Morgan gasped as she landed near the edge. Her head almost sticking off. She gulped and rolled away as quickly as she could. She wanted to get this over with as quickly as possible. Morgan reached for her shotgun and found it not there. A glint of silver to her left brought her eyes on the shotgun that had been knocked on the other side of where the villagers stood. She took a deep breath and sighed.
"Let's see how flexible I really am." She muttered kicking herself up to her feet and doing a cartwheel between the two villagers. She kicked them both back as she brought her feet around and did one more flip before bringing up the shotgun and blasting them both over the edge. Leon stared from the ground, where he had been loading his gun.
"I take it you were in gymnastics?" He asked as she ran over and helped him up.
"Try 10 years." She smirked before inspecting his wound. "It looks pretty nasty," She paused as 5 more villagers approached. "I'll have to take care of it after we get out of here." She said taking the lead. She grabbed a grenade and tossed it towards the group. It exploded and knocked them all down. 2 went down into the canyon.
