Morgan and Leon went on for a minute of running down and around the twists and turns the tunnel had before coming to a cave like room. Morgan spotted shiny objects on the ceiling after shooting another oil lamp and shot them down.
"Pretty." She smiled scooping up the elegant headdress from the ground. Leon picked up the other two things she had shot and stuffed both Spinals into his pocket.
"Over here." Leon said motioning towards another exit. Morgan nodded and followed after him.
"Mr. Merchant!" She beamed running up to the merchant from earlier. Leon raised a brow.
"And how did you get down here?" He asked suspiciously.
"Never question a strangers ways." The merchant replied. Morgan simply grinned.
"I have some stuff to sell to you." She said pulling out the spinals and jewelry pieces she found. Leon also pulled out the mask they had found and handed it in. Leon topped up on their weapons and waited as Morgan debated over buying a rifle.
"I'd like to buy a rifle please." Morgan smiled. The merchant nodded and handed her a rifle with ammo to go with it.
"Take the rifle for free, as my regards to a valued customer." The merchant gave a small smile at her.
"Really? Are you sure?" She waited till he nodded. "Thank you so much! See? I knew he was awesome!" Morgan beamed happily before knocking the merchant over with a death hug. Leon pried her off of him and pulled the merchant back to his feet.
"Uh…forgive her…she's easily pleased?" Leon gave a sheepish grin. The merchant blinked then chuckled.
"It's alright stranger. So how about those blue medallions? Have any luck?" He replied.
"Not yet, we still only have 7." Morgan replied.
"Just remember to get 10 and bring them to me for a special gun I want you to try out." The merchant advised.
"Will do, thanks." Leon said pulling Morgan along.
"Bye Mr. Merchant!" She waved. He waved back slightly with a chuckle.
"Should I be worried your face lights up like a child's does on Christmas when you get a new weapon?" Leon asked. Morgan smiled.
"I like when people are nice, generous acts of kindness make me happy. Just because I got a free rifle doesn't mean I'm in love with having weapons." She explained. He shrugged with a small smile.
"Whatever you say kiddo." His voice was teasing. Morgan glared playfully at the back of Leon's head as he led them out of the tunnel and to a graveyard. Morgan looked around with a frown, it was dark, foggy, and clearly not as welcoming as she would have liked.
"Villagers to the right." She announced pulling up her hand gun and shooting at a women. Leon quickly did the same with the man and ran forward and kicked him down. "I hate it here!" Morgan sighed doing the same and finishing off the women with a few rounds to the head. Leon was already searching the shed for anything useful and found more ammo and herbs.
"Up the hill we go." He said running towards the dirt road that led up the cemetery. Morgan followed after with her handgun raised, eyes scanning everything for anymore villagers.
"Leon get down!" Morgan yelled as she spotted three villagers up ahead, one with a pitch fork and two with their exploding bottles. Leon did as he was told and successfully missed being hit with a bottle. Morgan had pulled out a grenade and tossed it at the villagers before ducking down like she had instructed Leon to do. The blast went off and the villagers were gone leaving only the house in plain sight. "I love explosives." She sighed with a smile standing up and pulling Leon up. He smirked.
"They've seemed to come in handy haven't they." He remarked as she took the lead. Morgan nodded. Leon's communicator went off and both stopped to talk to Hunnigan.
"Have you reached the church yet?" Hunnigan asked.
"Ah..well yeah, sort of…" Leon replied with a small shrug.
"Did I mention not to take the scenic route?" She asked with a slightly annoyed tone. "At any rate, Ashley is probably inside that structure. Rescue her, hurry!" And she hung up without another word. Both agents sighed.
"I'd like to see her try and hurry with everything we're going through." Morgan muttered under her breath. Leon chuckled and ruffled the top of her head, loosening her bun.
"Calm down she's just doing her job." Leon replied with a smile. Morgan sighed and then nodded her head.
"I know. It's just that all this running and frustration is driving me absolutely insane. I'm getting tired and I'm worrying about both Ashley and Luis and this just isn't what I had in mind when I was told we were doing this mission." She stated with a tired sigh. Leon felt the same way, well maybe not so much for Luis but for Ashley's safety; he couldn't wait for this to be over and done with. Morgan took the hair tie out of her hair and let the wavy brown strands fall to their correct places. "Having my hair tied up for so long was making my head hurt, think I'll leave it down for a bit." She concluded with a satisfied smile, running her fingers through her hair and rubbing the soreness away from her scalp.
"Anything else you'd like to do before we start moving again?" Leon asked while quirking a brow. He took in her waist length hair that made her look much more her age. The smile on her face was a good sign, seeing as she would be in a better mood.
"You don't even want me to begin on my list of things I want to do." She laughed taking the lead again. Leon chuckled and shook his head with a smile.
"No I think you're right." He replied softly. Running through a small gated path, another group of villagers appeared in the next open area. Morgan and Leon both began shooting in unison, taking each villager down one at a time. When one happened to get too close, they'd both take turns in who kicked and who killed.
" Hmm, I wonder what this does." Morgan grinned as she approached large statue of sorts with symbols on it. It said to match the 3 insignias of the Dead Ringers. She slid her handgun inside her leg holder and studied the symbols while Leon stood guard. It only turned in 3 or 4 places at a time, so she decided to pick 3 since it was a smaller number. The symbol it landed on glowed. She grinned and tried 3 again. The same thing happened. Morgan continued this pattern and watched as all the pieces glowed together. Nothing happened though.
"Try 4." Leon whispered as he leaned over her shoulder. Morgan gasped and sighed as her small heart attack quickly passed over.
"You really know how to get to a girl." She whispered while doing as he had suggested. That had removed the glow from one of the symbols. She continued with this pattern also, letting Leon guide her along.
"Wait, now try 3." He ordered as she was about to do it again to the last 2 pieces. She nodded and watched as another piece glowed and the center of the ring table opened. A green jewel, more known as the Catseye jewel. Morgan took it and leaned back against Leon with a sigh.
"Alright Mr. Smarts, you're taking the lead." She announced shoving the jewel into her pocket. Leon blinked and then let a smirk spread across his face.
"Sure thing, let's move." He replied before both began off again. They headed back down the path they took and went around to the front of the house. Leon went to open the door but found it locked. Morgan squinted her eyes and noticed a small hole, large enough to fit something inside it. She groaned. They didn't have anything they could use. Leon watched as she put her back against the door and slide down so she was sitting. He noticed the aggravation and sleep deprived look on her face. He quickly pulled out his communicator and called Hunnigan.
"Hunnigan it's Leon. The door's locked. We can't get in." He announced to her.
"Didn't they teach you how to pick locks at the academy?" She questioned.
"Tch, there's some sort of indentation like something might fit inside." He explained.
"Well there's no use standing around. Leon you have to find some way or something to get inside." Hunnigan replied before hanging up. Again. Leon sighed and put his communicator away and glanced at Morgan who's head was dozing to the side. He crouched down in front of her and placed a hand on her shoulder.
"Wait here while I figure out how to get us inside alright?" He ordered.
"Huh? What? No way, I'm coming with." She protested in alarm as if someone had slapped her across the face. Leon studied her face for a moment before standing and offering a hand.
"Alright." He said while pulling her up to her feet. Leon led the way back down the path they had traveled up to the house back down to the cemetery. Morgan, who was rubbing her eyes to try and become more awake, seemed to realize something and look up.
"Weren't there supposed to be blue medallions in the cemetery?" She asked looking around. Leon stopped and looked at her and realized she was right.
"If we find at least 3 more we'll have enough to try out that gun the Merchant has for us." He smirked raising a his gun and shooting a blue medallion from a branch it had been hanging from. Morgan's face lit up and she ran off in search of any more. She found 2 more hanging from trees and shot them down with ease.
"We have 10!" She chimed with a smile. She looked around and didn't see anymore.
"Let's try back up by the house." Leon suggested as he saw the determined look on Morgan's face. Sure enough there was one hanging on a tree next to the front door and one hanging above the device they obtained the green jewel from. Instead of going around the house again Leon took the path to the left of the 1st one and stumbled down the slight hill that brought both him and Morgan to a wooden planked bridge. A villager shouted as he spotted them and was easily dealt with.
"Is it still too late to take you up on that offer from earlier?" Morgan asked backing up slowly. Now that it was darker out and fog hid what she would meet below if she fell, she seemed even more nervous about heights than before.
"Yes, now come on you have nothing to fear." Leon said while taking her hand and pulling her with him. Morgan held her breath as they crossed and stopped once Leon let go of her hand to shoot two villagers. She watched as they fell into the fog below after falling between the gap between both ends.
"No way." She announced watching a glint fill Leon's eyes. He smirked and jumped across the gap and turned back to face her.
"Yes way. Now jump." He replied. She blinked and then shook her head.
"No thank you." Morgan announced turning and freezing. She knew it would be impossible for her to walk back across the thin wooden boards without Leon. She grimaced and turned back to face him with a sulking expression. "Please don't let me die." Morgan prayed, rubbing her rosary before jumping across. Leon steadied her with his arm around her back as he forced her to walk with him onto solid ground. He had to try his absolute best at not laughing, not at her, but at the fact the look on her face made her look like she had ran a 3 day marathon with no sleep, food, or water. She was pale, wide eyed, and looking ready to pass out any minute.
"See? Not so bad when you have someone there to catch you." He smiled reassuringly at her. Morgan didn't answer but nodded her head slowly. She shuddered and shook her head of any lingering fear and walked forward into the small hut. There was a piece of paper on the small shelf, which Leon plucked and scanned over.
"It looks like Luis stole something and it's far more important than us or Ashley. If they don't get it back, they'll dispose of Ashley." Leon announced as he flipped the paper over.
"I wonder what Luis stole. Well at least we know he's still alive." Morgan muttered.
"They still don't want us finding Ashley so they locked the church doors so we can't get to her." He sighed, already figuring that out without needing the paper. "Uh oh." He said with a slight frown. Morgan looked up with worried expression.
"Uh oh what?" She asked, not really liking the tone in his voice.
"I know where the key is. It's on the other side of a lake. Only problem is," He paused. "Is that we have to face Del Lago."
"What the heck is Del Lago?" Morgan asked with a confused frown. She snatched the paper from Leon in hopes to find a picture, but sadly found none. Though her eyes did catch something even more startling. "Leon? Remember when the 7 foot tall giant said we carried the same blood as him?" She asked softly. He nodded.
"The Big Cheese…what of it?" He asked.
"Back when we were held in captive with Luis, I think I remember feeling something being injected to me." He said slowly. Morgan nodded her head glumly.
"Me too. I thought it was only a dream but…" Her voice trailed off. "Guess not."
"Don't worry, we'll get Ashley and find the cure. We've made it this far we might as well go the whole way." Leon said trying to lighten Morgan's spirits. She placed the paper down back on the shelf and turned to face him slowly.
"Promise?" She asked. Leon nodded and watched a smile pull at her lips.
"Of course." And with that, they began their journey towards the lake to find Del Lago and the key.
