Edited Feb 6th, 2017


Back in The alleyway

"T-Todd?" Jill spook, Todd didn't have any words. He kept thinking, what are the odds of her being the one after him. He dared not look into her eyes. That was the last thing he wanted to see, to see how he just killed a man.

"Jill where are you?" Todd heard someone speak over her radio. The voice was of a man, and from what he could make out it sounded like a worrying one at that.

Jill slowly grabbed her radio, looking unsure of what to say for just a split second before she replied. "Chris, I have the suspect."

'Suspect so that's what I am.' Todd thought. Although he couldn't help but agreeing with that assessment. He wasn't sure what was going to happen now. Todd finally decided to look at Jill, Surprised at the sight behind her.

Todd could See Agent F behind her, but before Todd could say anything Agent F whacked Jill on the back of her head with the grip of his side arm. Todd tried to catch her as she was falling, but before he could Agent F rushed at him forcing Todd against the alleys wall. Holding Him by the throat, his feet now dangling above the ground below him.

"Where are you?" the radio on Jill went off, but Agent F was completely focused on Todd.

"Swint, if you ever do something like that again...I'll rip your throat out!" Agent F yelled, his threat didn't go into Todd's head. What went into his head was him knowing Todd's last name after he kept telling him how not to use any names this past week.

"Jill…..Answer me Jill!" The radio on Jill went off again, It sounded like the one on the other side was really worrying.

Agent F let Todd go, as he fell to the ground catching his breath he began to ask. "How th…the hell do you know my name?'

Agent F didn't answer, he had his side arm pointing at Jill, before looking like he was about to pull the trigger he turned his head towards Todd's direction. "Did she see your face?" Agent F asked in a more calmly voice.

"What?" Todd asked now standing up, slowly walking his way towards Agent F.

"DID SHE SEE YOUR FACE!" Agent F yelled this time, but only loud enough for Todd to hear.

Todd was worried what would happen if he told the truth. He would never forgive himself if Agent F was going to do what Todd thought he was. "N…No." Todd lied. In reality he knew there was no other choice but to lie. He didn't want to know exactly what would happen if he told the truth, even if he had a pretty good idea what would happen.

Agent F now holstered his weapon, walking back in the main alleyway out of the dead end. "Good, a dead cop would have been haltering in our operations."

Todd couldn't believe what he was hearing; he knew Agent F was cold. But this was just too cold for anyone. Todd Now saw F trying to carry Agent J's body. "Give me a hand with this!" Agent F yelled, but Todd couldn't stop looking at Jill now.

"Come on Jill talk to me!" The voice on the radio nearly screamed now, currently it sounded like the one on the radio was running. Todd couldn't help but notice the worry in the sound of his voice.

"Hurry, her partner will be here soon. And if you don't want me to kill two cops, you better get moving!"

Todd didn't argue this time, he ran over to Agent F, helping him drag the body. However, he couldn't help but notice they were dragging the body in the wrong direction. "Um isn't the entrance back that way?" Todd pointed, still helping Agent F drag the body.

"Where making a blood trail go in the opposite direction."

They took the next four seconds dragging the body, before the finally picked up J's body, carrying him back to the facilities entrance.


Raccoon City Hospital

Chris wasn't able to take the ambulance with Jill to the hospital. Mainly because he still needed to bring the Jeep with him. He took little to no time getting there; Hell Chris even used the siren on the jeep to follow the ambulance. The hospital wasn't busy when he entered. Chris quickly rushed to the front desk to find his partner. He was told he couldn't see her yet, and had to wait in the waiting room just down the hall from where Jill was at.

Chris didn't bother sitting, he couldn't bear the thought of relaxing when Jill was in intensive care. He kept pacing back in forth, thinking of what he could have done differently. He should have never agreed to split up. He should have been faster; Chris couldn't see how he would forgive himself if she didn't make it. He kept thinking of the last words she said, before passing out.

'It…it's him.' Chris thought of her saying again. He wondered who she was talking about. She said she had the suspect. Did he overpower her somehow, was he not alone. And more importantly, did Jill know who he was. Because in some small way it almost sounded like she did.

"Hey, Chris!" Barry yelled out running towards him from down the hall way.

Chris hardly even acknowledged him, he gave a quick stare. Then Chris went back to his pacing, trying to find some way to put the pieces together.

"Chris, I heard what happened." Barry said, putting his hand on his shoulder, but Chris just shoved him off.

"It's my fault…I sh…should have been there." Chris said in panic, still pacing back and forth. If he kept that up anylonger he would probably leave some permanent trail.

"Chris man, it's going to be okay. These things happ….."

"NO!" Chris shouted staring Barry down, now pointing his finger at him. "I wasn't there watching her back!" Chris continued to shout, slowly walking his way towards Barry, still pointing his finger. "I screwed up again; I let her down…..Again."

Barry paused at that moment, thinking to what Chris was talking about. "Chris…..What happened at the bank wasn't your fault." Barry calmly spoke, holding his ground. "And by the sounds of what happened here, neither was this." Whether Barry was right or not didn't matter. He could tell Chris wasn't in his right mind at the moment.

Chris put his hand down now. He used both his hands rubbing his own head, thinking in frustration. "Just, I need some air." Chris said in a crackling voice, walking past Barry towards the front door.

Chris continued walking his way towards the door, when Joseph tried to get in his way.

"Hay Chris, I heard…." Joseph tried to stop Chris to talk, but Chris shoved him out of his way into the near wall, Joseph hit the wall, falling on his knees. Not even taking a look back, Chris marched his way out the front door. Barry was now standing next to Joseph, as he looked back. "What's eating him?" Joseph asked recovering from his fall.

"I have a pretty good idea." Barry said with a smile. He then looked at Joseph. "Come on; let's check on his partner before we have to head back to the station."

Chris was now pacing like his was back in the hospital waiting room, this time on the sidewalk in front of the hospital. His thoughts weren't getting any better, if anything they were getting worse. He thought what if Jill's head injuries were worse than they looked. What if she had permanent damage? Chris knew he couldn't look himself in the mirror the same ever again if that happened.

"You lost something Redfield?" A voice from behind said.

Chris was getting annoyed of people bothering him. He knew they only wanted to help, but he just wanted to be left alone in his own thoughts. He turned around thinking it was Barry or Joseph, but was surprised to see who it was.

"Richard?" Chris said with a little confusion in his voice. It was Richard Aiken from Bravo team. He liked talking to Richard usually, since he was the only one in STARS who Chris could have a serious conversation without being harassed. Except for Barry, but he would somehow manage to make himself an ass, depending on his mood. "What are you doing here?" Chris now asked, while Richard walked up towards him.

"I just got off my shift training are new rookie, heard someone from Alpha was here, and I just wanted to check in. So who is it?"

Chris sighed. "My…..Partner, I…I let her down." Chris calmly said. He was feeling calmer now conversing with Richard, rather than Barry at the moment, who would just lecture of how it wasn't his fault.

"Is she okay?" Richard asked while he was taking out a smoke.

"I…I don't know yet." Chris replied, while Richard was lighting his cigarette.

"So how are you doing Chris?" Richard slowly asked.

"I'm alright."

"So how ARE you doing Chris?" Richard asked again, trying to get a more honest answer.

Chris took a deep breath before he could reply. "Like…like crap, If something more fatal happened to her…My partner, I don't know what I would do with myself." Chris replied honestly, now looking at Richard smoking. Chris could tell he was listening to every word he had said. "You got another one of those."

Richard looked at Chris confused. "I thought you quit months ago, you were pretty happy with yourself for surviving the withdraw."

"Please Richard; I really need to keep my mind clear at the moment." Chris begged, holding his hand out for Richard to hopefully give him one of his Cigarettes.

"Fine." Richard said, giving up even trying to convince him otherwise. He knew Chris was a mess right now, and wanted nothing more than to help him. Richard took out the pack from his pocket handing Chris one of his cigarettes. "Just don't tell Claire, the last thing I need is your sister yelling at me."

"Deal." Chris agreed, and Richard let the cigarette for him. Chris took in a big huff, and he instantly felt more relaxed if only for a second. "So how's that new rookie turning out?" Chris asked, trying to get his mind on something else to think about, really anything else to think about.

"She's doing well for a rookie, really smart for her age. Talks a lot though." Richard said laughing.

"So, your type?" Chris asked smirking.

"Hardly, way too young for me."

"What was her name again?" Chris asked, only hearing from the others that Bravo team got a new rookie. Bravo worked on the other part of the city with different shifts. because of this they never saw much of each other outside of joint training operations between both squads.

"Rebecca Chambers, like I said nice girl. " Richard now tossed his cigarette on the ground, putting it out. "So your new partner, you care for her?" Richard bluntly asked.

"Of course I care for her, she's my partner." Chris quickly shot back.

"That's not what I mean Chris, and you know it. I know how someone looks after something like this happens to their partner, and how they look when someone they really care about gets hurt. And trust me; you look like someone just shot your dog."

Chris didn't say anything, in reality he wasn't exactly sure himself. He knew he was worried for her, like any partner would. But he has never felt like this before, not in a really long time.

"You don't have to worry about me spreading rumors, trying to get a joke In with the guys. You know damn well I'm not like them." Richard said, point his thumb back towards the hospital, were some of the guys were still in.

"I…I honestly don't know Richard." Chris honestly replied looking down at his feet.

Before Richard could reply, they Saw Barry and Joseph walking towards them out of the hospital. Richard just gave them a nod and Chris just stared, and they were now standing right in front of the.

"Hey Guys, how you doing?" Richard asked the two.

"We're good." Barry replied now looking towards Chris. "You can See Jill now Chris, and don't worry she's fine."

Chris didn't reply, he didn't even say goodbye to Richard or the other two. He was sorry for pushing Joseph out of the way earlier, but all he wanted to do was check in on Jill. He quickly ran away from the group, rushing his way back inside the hospital.

Chris didn't take his time stopping at the front desk, or anything else in the building. He knew exactly were Jill was. He ran through the hallway, passing a few people as they were looking at him strangely. The door was open, and he saw Jill sitting up in her bed. He could tell she heard him a mile away. She was smiling at him, giving a few slight laughs.

"Hey." Chris said, walking towards her bed.

"Hey yourself." She replied. "I heard you were worried."

"And who told you that?" Chris said laughing, while he pulled up a chair to sit by her bedside.

"Barry…Joseph also said you pushed him out of the way."

Chris rubbed the back of his head, looking for the right words to say." I…I didn't mean to, I guess my mind was just kind of out of it."

Jill just laughed at Chris's reply. "He found it more funny than hurtful." Jill's smile now faded. "I'm sorry."

"Sorry for what, if anything Jill I should be sorry for not being there."

"I'm sorry I made you worry about me Chris."

Chris wasn't sure how to reply, he just went on to the next thing, staling what he was feeling. "What happened back there Jill, you said it was him, what did you mean?" Chris asked, remembering the last words she said before passing out.

"I…I…" Jill stuttered, Chris could tell she wasn't sure exactly what to say."I'm not sure; I think I was just referring to the suspect being the one who hit me. I…I can't remember exactly, after all I did get hit in the head pretty hard." Jill laughed at her last comment, trying to get Chris to forget anything she had said.

Before Chris could reply, a doctor had just entered the room, disturbing the two's conversation. They were both now looking towards him.

"Okay Ms Valentine." The doctor said looking through papers on his clip board. "your free to go, but we recommend you take at least one day of bed rest, will prescribe pain killers if you need them, but I don't see any reason for you being here anymore."

"Thank you." Jill replied and with that the doctor left the room. Jill was now looking at Chris. "Guess you better take me home."

"With pleasure." Chris replied smiling.

Before Chris could help her up, they heard someone else enter the room. Turning back towards the door Chris couldn't believe who he was seeing.

"Well well well, I'm gone for over a week and your already getting yourself in all kinds of trouble." A man at the door said laughing.

"F-Frank?" Chris barely spoke.

"In the flesh Redfield, So this your new partner?" Frank asked pointing towards Jill.

"What, Oh yeah." Chris said looking towards Jill. "Jill, this is frank my old partner."

"Jill valentine, I've heard so much about you." Jill greeted while holding her hand out to shake his.

Frank took her hand without hesitation. "Pleasures all mine, hope Redfield hasn't been too much trouble for you."

"No, no trouble at all." Jill replied giggling.

"Frank, what are you doing here?" Chris asked unsure as to why he was in raccoon city again.

"What, I've known we had are differences, but is that anyway to greet your old partner." Frank said frowning.

"I'm sorry, it's good to see you, but I heard you transferred to another town?" Chris again asked, remembering what Wesker had told him.

"I did, came by to pick up some more of my things, also to fill out some papers at the station. Then I heard you and your partner being at the hospital and just figured I check in to make sure everything was fine." Frank explained looking towards Jill. "Head doing okay?"

Chris was a little puzzled to how he had known that Jill was hit on the head. But before Chris could ask, Jill had done so. "How'd you know I got hit on the head?"

"Doctor told me, Please tell me they got the bastard that did it."

"No." Jill said taking a slow breath. "An officer came in earlier asking if I had seen anything. I told him I didn't, and they informed me all the trails in that maze led to a dead end when I asked."

Chris didn't even know a Uniform had come in to question her, since they hadn't even tried to question him yet.

"Shame, hope they find them." Frank replied acting like he was delighted to hear the news. Chris was also once again puzzled wondering how he thought it was probably a 'them.', rather than a 'him.'. But Chris knowing how professional his old partner was, probably already talked to the same officer, or someone with information. Frank Now looked at Chris. "I'm sorry to leave so soon again Redfield, But I have a flight to catch."

Chris stood from his chair now. "It's okay, it was good talking to you again." Chris said shaking his old partners hand.

"Likewise." frank replied now looking at Jill again. "Nice to meet you valentine, take care of Redfield for me." Frank laughed.

"I will." Jill said, as she struggled to get out of bed to shake Franks hand. Chris helped her up during the ordeal. "And don't worry, I'll make sure Chris handles the Jeep with care." Jill said sticking her tongue out at Chris, teasing him.

Frank Just laughed, as he finished saying his farewells, leaving the hospital room. Walking down the Hospital hallways Frank pulled his cell phone.

"This Is F." Frank said quietly over the phone, and a voice on the other side spoke. "No they don't have anything on us." Frank again waited for the voice on the other side to finish. "I think it's safe to say are Operations can proceed as planned." Agent F smiled while hanging up his phone, placing it back in his pocket.


At Chris's house

Jill was happy to be back home that was for sure, although she was starting to get annoyed with the amount of worry on Chris. He would want to help her out with anything, thinking she couldn't handle herself. It was sweet to say the least. He was just lucky Claire was back in school; otherwise she would have probably got on his case about it.

Only being In Raccoon city for over a week now, she was getting use to Chris's house. She hadn't told him yet, but she gave up looking for her own apartment days ago, Mainly because the only available ones were on the other side of town, much too far away from the station for her liking.

She still didn't know what to think about earlier today, was that really Todd? And why in the world was he there? If that was him, then he more than likely killed that man who looked like was wearing the same fatigues as him. She knew he was discharged, but could Todd even get involved with people like that. She never figured Todd for a criminal, and never in the life would she figure him for a murderer. Jill couldn't get her mind around it, she figured it was best to just believe that it wasn't Todd, and all of it was all just a coincidence. Maybe her brain was just playing tricks on her and she saw is doppelganger.

"You Okay Jill?" Chris asked walking back in the living room with her glass of water, that he insisted on getting for her.

"I'm fine Chris, can you please stop asking." Jill replied, taking the glass of water from Chris's hand. She took a few sips before placing it on the table next to the couch she was sitting on.

"Jill." Chris said, sitting on the chair across from her.

"Do you like me Chris?" Jill blurt out cutting Chris off for what he was about to say.

"What?"

Jill knew he did, she wasn't sure why she just now asked out of the blue, but there was something about Chris that Jill liked, maybe more than like. "The way I heard you reacting in the hospital, the way you've been trying to comfort me. I…..I have to know." Jill sighed, not sure if she should continue or not, but she was already in this far. "Do you like me, more than a partner should I mean?"

Chris stood from his chair, and he came over to lean in front of Jill, placing a hand on her knee. "I'm…I don't know Jill…..when I saw you lying in the alleyway, I didn't know what to think." Chris paused, now looking directly into her eyes. "It was like my heart stopped Jill, I…..I haven't felt that way in a good many years."

Jill wasn't sure what to say, she wanted nothing more than for him to say what she knew he wanted to say, but instead opted to figure out what he meant by not feeling this way in many years. "What do you mean Chris, when have you felt this way before."

Chris looked down, taking a deep breath. "Remember when I said this house was kind of left to me and Claire by someone" Jill nodded in reply. "This house use to be my parents, they both died in a car accident. I've had the deed for many years, but only moved in after leaving the Air force."

Jill was shocked; she didn't know how in the world she could reply to that. "Chris…I'm sorry."

"Jill." Chris said holding his hand on her cheek. "It was a long time ago, I'm over it, what I'm trying to say is…" Chris paused again, Jill knew were this was going now, and wanted nothing more for him to say it. "Yes, I like you…..Hell Jill, I like you a lot."

Jill didn't reply, she just smiled, and this was crazy for her, they had just met not long ago. But she knew now that she and Chris were already sharing the same feelings for each other. Without thinking she rushed her lips to meet Chris's, sharing a long passionate kiss like she never felt before. In a matter of seconds that felt like long hours, they finally broke the kiss.

"Chris…this is crazy, were partners. We shouldn't, priority of life, what if…" Jill tried to argue, but Chris but his finger on her lips to silence her.

"Its worth it Jill, will work everything out. One step at a time." Chris said smiling, and Jill just nodded in reply. "Just promise me one thing."

"What, to be careful and all that?t" Jill teased.

"No no no, I know you'll do fine. Just don't tell Claire." Chris said laughing, Jill got up from the couch hugging Chris now.

"I don't know that might be too much to ask for." Jill whispered into Chris's ear, and he just laughed in reply.

She didn't care about whether that had been Todd in the alley or not, if it was she could never forgive him for turning into such a man. But he was out of her life now, and Jill had to move on. She felt like she cared for Chris more than she could ever care for Todd. Like Chris was meant for Jill her whole life,

Jill gazed her eyes over to the window behind Chris, and could have sworn she saw someone out the corner of her eyes.

"Something wrong?" Chris asked noticing her sudden quietness.

"No…I just thought…I thought I saw someone at the window, probably my head playing tricks on me." Jill replied knowing it was probably just nothing.

"You did get hit on the head pretty hard." Chris joked.

Jill backed out from the hug, playfully hitting Chris on his shoulder. "Someone else is going to get hit on their head pretty hard soon if they don't find me something to eat." Jill teased knowing she was now feeling hungry. And with the way Chris was acting, she had no doubt he would do so in an instance.

"Food for the lady, coming right up." Chris replied, rushing his way towards the kitchen.
