Leon Scott Kennedy Story

Chapter 10

"LEON."Brogan screamed as she saw a him a few feet below in a set of 3 connecting cages hanging from chains with the thing that jumped on him closing in fast,he sprang to his feet and started shooting but the beast kept coming. Brogan grabbed Leon's rifle from the ground and starting firing at it,she heard a shrill yell as the shots impacted on its back. Leon looked up at her before navigating the maze of cages trying to find his way back through . She continued to cover him as he evaded the beast and activated the switches that controlled the chains before he pasted through the 1st cage just before it dropped into the gaping void below. Brogans heart raced watching him battle that thing trying to trap it in the cages before releasing the chains that kept them suspended,Terror griped her as the 2nd cage fell with no sign of Leon having made it to the final one,then she saw him running around to the left to activate the last of the release switches a brief feeling of relief was short lived within seconds panic took over as 'IT' was standing between Leon and escape,she opened fire again desperately trying stop the beast from getting any closer to him. The beast retreated so Leon made a break for it ,he ran and jumped grabbing one of the supporting chains just as the cage fell this time taking the beast with it or so they thought then Brogan saw it climbing up the ledge and heading straight for Leon who was stranded. Brogan watched helplessly as he tried to open the only gate leading to safety.

"God damn it why won't you just die"he said to himself firing rapidly at the beast before it buried into the ground making the earth under his feet quake before bursting back to the surface just in front of him with enough force knocking him across the ledge and into a wall,he struggled to his feet and noticed a red barrel of what looked like fuel just beside the beast,Brogan must have had the same idea just as he aimed a shot rang out and the barrel exploded blowing the beast into a million pieces as well as taking the gate off its hinges. He took a deep breath and holstered his gun before walking through the gate to the cable car which connected the caverns and would take him back to her. He climbed aboard pressed the button before collapsing on the metal floor exhausted. The car had barely stopped moving before she leaped aboard and grabbed him franticly kissing him all over his face.

"Hey...hey... I'm OK I'm OK ...really"He said pulling himself up wincing as a sharp pain pierced his side. His hand shot to what he suspected were broken ribs.

"Yeah right let me look"She said sitting him back down and removing his holster before carefully pulling his shirt up,He hissed in pain as she examined the large angry red bruising starting to appear across the left hand side of his torso.

"Sorry..." She said apologetically while feeling along his rib bones trying to determine how many he'd broken.

"You've got 2 broken ribs and some nasty bruising, try to stay still while I patch you up,I'll be as careful as possible but this is gonna hurt"She said reaching in to her pockets and pulling out a small first aid pack from her jeans pocket.

"Do you always carry first aid supplies"He asked as she unpacked the bandages.

"Yep. must be the girl scout in me,come to think of it still got the uniform"She replied whilst wrapping the bandages carefully around his battered body diagonally over his right shoulder trying to give as much support to his body as possible.

"It still fit?"He said raising an eyebrow,She gave him a smouldering look before leaning in close and saying

"We'll just have to see when we get outta here "

He looked at her mesmerized as she fussed over him then she noticed him staring,

"What's up with you?did you band your head too"she said smiling as she finished wrapping the bandages around his battered torso before unwrapping an antiseptic wipe and cleaning the numerous small cuts on his hands and arms.

"No, just not had a nurse who looks as hot as you patch me up before, and if I'm honest I'm rather enjoying the attention"He answered before she carefully placed her hand on his bare chest.

"Well I try my best but without the uniform you don't get the full effect,Now take these they should help with the pain"She said handing him the two small tablets.

"What no water?"he said sarcastically as he pooped them in his mouth swallowing them hard,leaving his mouth dry from the chalkiness.

She helped him to pull his shirt and holster back on before helping him to his feet again.

He looked her up and down before smiling ,She stared at him trying to read his expression and figure out what was going on inside his head,His face flushed when he realised she seen him glaring at her.

"Nurse,girl scout I can hardly wait"He said pressing the button making the cable car judder to life before grabbing the black bag that Brogan was now carrying.

"What are you doing,your in no fit state to carry this"Brogan said pulling the heavy bag onto her back .Leon watched as the weight seemed to pull her down.

"Look, give it here it weighs a ton and it will slow you down" He said reaching for the straps,Brogan smacked his hand away with a deadly serious look coming over her face.

"I don't care,if you carry this bag I'm going to end up carrying you after a few steps and then were never getting Ashley out of here so let it go " She said placing her hand gently on his ribs as the car stopped. Leon admitted defeat,he knew she was right but he didn't want to put her at risk. They climbed a ladder which lead them back outside into a dusty gathering of tents and watch towers. Leon and Brogan slowly moved forwards stopping behind an assortment of boxes and corrugated iron sheets,when the see a large gathering of Saddlers men waiting for them armed with huge machine guns. There wasn't a chance they were going to be able to get through here but the couldn't turn back.

Just as all hope seemed lost a bright spot light descended on them from above and Leons radio started to beep,Leon attached his ear piece and pressed the button.

"Its about time "He said looking up at the helicopter flying above them.

"Sorry bad traffic,I'll cover you" The pilot answered before turning towards the enemies and opening fire.
