Chapter 21
O'Brian was walking along the halls with three agents "I want you to look for this man Stuart Stefano, Dead or alive, just find him" he said,
"Yes sir" the agents said and went back to their work, O'Brian stopped and sighed "I hope Jill is right about this" he mumbled.
Meanwhile at the conferance room
"Why didn't you tell me about this before?" Chris asked, he was both angry and upset becasue of Jill,
"I'm sorry, But these are memories that I chose to forget a long time ago, And the fact is, I didn't remember most of them" Jill answered,
Chris ran his fingers through his hair "Still you should've told me you had a memory" Chris said, he didn't realize his voice was loud, he didn't mean to upset Jill by it,
But then again, Jill was right, she didn't remember, After that experiment she kept having blury memories and probably thought they weren't important, She just didn't want to bother Chris, he already had so much in her mind,
Then again realizing his anger, Jill decided not to answer, and looked away,
"What about this Jake Muller? Who is he?" Leon asked,
"Maybe he knows something too" Parker suggested,
"No, he was just a test subject like me. Poor boy couldn't even remember his name, how do you expect him to know anything about the Horizon?" Jill said,
Then Quint got up and packed his files "Well, we'll have to wait until they find this Stefano guy, If you need anything I'll be in my office" he said and went out, Keith following behind,
"I'll contact DSO and see if they could help us in finding him" he said and took out his phone to call hunnigan and report in,
"Hey Hunnigan-" he was saying while he exited the room.
Parker stretched his hands and got up "Guys, I'm going to check up on Becca, Just give me a call as soon as they get something" he said and went out,
Jill and Chris weren't looking at eachother, there was no need for Chris to act like that, she decided to leave it for another time, without saying another word Jill stood up to go, when she opened the door and was halfway out she looked at Chris, he was looking down,
"I'm sorry I didn't tell you Chris, Maybe I wasn't just feeling ready to share and remember those memories, I hope you're not mad at me" she said and closed the door behind her.
Chris quickly got up and looked at the door, too late, she was already gone "Jill" he said and put his hand on his forehead and sat down again. He wasn't mad at her or anything, he was just feeling guilty for all these that happened to them, in the past few months he suddenly found out about the things the woman he loved went through, And he simply couldn't do anything.
Suddenly all the power in the whole facility went out, all the lights and computers went off, Chris quickly stood up and stormed out to see what's going on,
After a few seconds the emergency light went on and Chris noticed Jill and the others, he approached them "What the hell is this?" he asked,
"There's been a breach, we have no Idea what this is about" Quint said,
Suddenly all computers and screens in the BSAA showed an image of Wesker, Everyone looked at the screens,
"Good evening dear workers, Allow me to firstly apologize for this small distraction of mine, but I thought it'd be better for us to sit down and have a little chat.
So you simply didn't let me make some followers and destroyed all the years of my hard work in Russia, But it can't be stopped anymore, no matter what.
You should know better, and from now on, none of you have any Idea what I'm planning. Did you really think after Russia it was all over? No it wasn't, It's time for all of you to live the hell lives I'm planning for you.
Chris Redfield and Jill Valentine, listen to me very carefully, I'm offering you the way out, and I have been doing this is the past tweleve years, but now it's different, You will back out if you don't want to say goodbye to little Kim, And you know the things I could do to her, Well Chris, You've seen how I made Jill my slave, now what am I going to do with a small defendless child that doesn't know anything?
This is my last warning, you have 12 hours to report that you have backed out, Orelse you can't imagine the things I can do to your friends, Famillies And to your ownself" he said and the computer was shut, the lights were on again.
"Son of a bitch" Chris yelled and punched the desk, Jill was speechless,
"What are we going to do?" Quint asked in a loud and worried tone,
"We can't do this, Even if we back out, not just our friends and families, but the whole world will be in danger" Parker said,
Suddenly Leon's phone rang, he answered it "Hunnigan?" he asked,
"Leon did you see that too?" Hunnigan asked,
"Yeah we did, We have no Idea what to do" he said,
"I just spoke to president, all agency heads are gonna gather in Washington to discuss this matter before the 12 hours time" she said,
"Wesker thinks we don't know his phase two and the places he will be in, We could use that to our advantage" Jill said,
"What have you got so far?" Hunnigan asked,
"Well according to Jessica's alibi Wesker is targetting two cities, but we also doubt those two cities are Mangolia and tokyo that Reymond said his phase two takes place" Jill explained,
"We need to move fast, Anything about this Stefano guy?" Leon asked,
"We're making progress but I can't give you any specific information, we are waiting for Mr O'Brian to come to DC as soos as possible" she said,
"I'll be there in two hours" he said, Hunnigan nodded through the screen and went off.
O'Brian turned to the group "Let's not give up guys, Wesker wouldn't make any moves in this 12 hours, We'll figure something out, You're free for the day" he said and turned to his secretary "Call in the chopper, I'm heading to DC" he said and went to his office.
"We have to inform Claire as well" Leon said,
"Yeah, I was gonna do that, are you coming home with me Jill?" Chris said,
"Yeah, I can't stay here" she said, they said goodbye to everyone and went out.
Along the ride back home none of them talked to eachother, Jill was only looking at her ring and was deep in her thoughts, Why should all this be happening to me?
They entered the apartment and noticed Claire playing with Kim "Whose the cutest nephew of all time? My sweet Kim-Kim Of course, yeah that's who" she said and planted a Kiss on Kim's cheek,
"Oh hey guys" she greeted them when they saw them enter, "Hey/Hi" Chris and Jill said at the same time,
They both sat down on the couch and Jill kissed Kim's head softly and cuddled her "Oh you always make my day" she said and carresed her nose with her finger,
"So what's up?" Claire said, Jill and Chris started to tell Claire about what happened and Claire awas listening very carefully, After they finished silence filled the whole room,
"So what? Are we going to just back out?" Claire asked,
"Of course not, We'll have to see what the others will decide in Washington" Jill said,
"We still have 11 hours, we can find someting out" Chris said,
Jill looked at the clock "It's Kim's naptime, I'll go put her to sleep" Jill didn't bother looking at Chris and took Kim with her, Chris couldn't find out if she was upset about him or something else,
"what did you do again?" Claire asked,
"What? Nothing" Chris quickly answered,
"Ok, so you have done somehing, Wanna talk about it?" she asked,
Chris sighed "Let's go make something to eat and I'll tell you" he said and they both went to the kitchen.
Jill
After almost 10 minutes Jill finally managed to make Kim sleep, she put her back in her crib and enjoyed looking at the adorable face in front of her "Please forgive me Kim, this Job I do, It always has this life-and-death situations, It requires sacrifice, I have to be strong for you and Chris" her tears strolled down her cheeks "I'll never let anybody hurt you, I don't want you to grow up like me, I promise I will alway be on you side" she said and kissed her small hand gently.
When she came out she noticed Chris and Claire weren't there, she didn't bother looking for them and went to Chris' room,
When she entered the room she didn't close the door and layed herself on bed, she looked at the ceiling and sighed "Please don't let her be like me" she said,
"Why not? you didn't turn out so bad yourself" she heared Chris saying while entering the room and closing the door behind,
"I don't want it to be so hard for her, I don't know, maybe she can become a teacher, or a Doctor, Just anything that doesn't involve zombies" Jill said,
Chris placed himself right next to her "I don't know, I think she'd look cute in a little pink BSAA outfit" he teased, Jill giggled,
Silence field the room again, Chris lifted her chin and stoke her face "Jill" he whispered "Please forgive me, I didn't mean-" he couldn't finish and Jill cut her off,
"Don't apologize Chris, You were right, I should've told you" she said,
"I've never been there for you, all this time I've never even known you were infected with the T-virus, I left you all alone in Raccoon, I couldn't prevent Wesker from capturing-" Jill put her finger on his lips,
"You weren't there for me, But you are the one who always saved me, I'm cured because of you, I'm saved because of you, and I'm happy because of you. You have saved me in so many different ways, So don't ever blame yourself" she said,
"And now I was shouting at you like an idiot back at the agency, I'm so stupid" he said,
Jill smiled "I know and that's why I love you, you idiot" she said and pinched his cheeks,
Chris was surprised by what she just did, suddenly he forgot about all the fear of Wesker and time limit they had, Jill had this ability to make him forget about all the sufferings at one moment,
"Hey who are you calling Idiot, I'm older than you" he said and hugged her tight and squeezed her,
Jill laughed, Chris was sqeezing her so hard "Oh God" she said while laughing,
"So who's an Idiot?" Chris asked, Still holding her,
"You are an Old idiot bastard" Jill teased again, Chris laughed "Ok then it's time to make you suffer for calling me that" he said and started to tickle her "Oh God, No no, Chris don't" Jill said and started to laugh so hard,
She was no match for Chris and couldn't struggle free "Oh Chris please stop, I can't take it Any-" she said and laughed harder,
"Not until you apologize and admit I am intelligent" he said,
"Ok ok, you are an intelligent old bastard that I love so much" she said and Chris stopped "Hmm, that's better now" he said, they were both breathing heavily now and gazing at eachother's eyes,
"How can you do this Jill?" Chris asked, "Do what?"
"How can always be this kindhearted and strong at the same time despite all the things that happened to us?" he asked,
Jill started to carress his hair "I have a very convincing reason" she said,
"And what is it?" Chris mumbled, Jill looked at his eyes and to his lips, she pulled him closer to herself and they're lips met, it felt like it's been forever since they felt eachothers lips, Chris wrapped his arms around her neck and responded to her kiss, they were kissing with such passion and intensity.
** Author's Disclaimer: If you are interested in reading the following sex scene, be my guest. If it offends/bothers you, however, feel free to skip it to the A few hours later part. I don't feel the need to change the rating because of one scene that you could just overlook.
Jill felt Chris' hand under her shirt carressing her skin, there she felt it again, she felt safe and loved the way she never did before, she just loved this man so much and seeing him loving and always caring for her always made her happy, they made love to each other alot but this time they were also showing their empathy, What if they never get to be together after this again? Why isn't it ending? Why can't they be free from all these resposibilities?
But right now Jill didn't want to bother thinking about any of these, she took his hand and pulled it further up to her chest, and felt the pleasure of his touch, Chris started to suck her neck and gently pulled her up to take off her shirt, Jill did the same to him and placed him on bed, she placed her leg between his thighs to his member making him groan and moan her name, she touched his bare skin and planted kissed on any part of his body he could find, savoring his taste,
In every movement of her body, every time she closed her eyes, every time she exhaled a breath of air or a moan of pleasure, he could feel her telling him to take control, and show her what she wanted,
Chris inended to do just that, so he changed positions and came on top of her, he slowly pulled down her pants and shorts while Jill doing the same, they were both fully naked now,
Chris beant down and kissed her neck and went up to her cheek, nose and finally to her lips, he felt Jill tears on his own cheek, he broke the kiss and wiped those tears away "We're gonna get through this Jill no matter what, you know that, and we'll always be together" he said,
"We don't know that. I'm tired Chris, I can't fight like this anymore, I only want to be with you and Kim, I wanna run away with you to somewhere the world will forget about us" she said,
"Nothing can stop us if we stick together" he whispered, Jill closed her eyes, allowing him to continue, because part of her knew they might never be able to do this again,
Chris pushed himself into her making her arch her back and moan, they were making love to eachother till Chris collapsed on top of Jill, brathing heavily, Jill could feel his heartbeat against hers, she gently kissed his neck and smelled him "I love you Chris" she whispered and another silent tear dropped from her eye that Chris didn't notice, she couldn't bare the thought of ever loosing Chris, all she wanted was to spend the rest of her life with him,
"I love you too Jill, So much" Chris whispered.
A few hours later
There were still another seven hours left until The agencies made a strict decision to answer Wesker, Everyone was gathered in BSAA now,
Nobody was making any sound, some were just sitting deep in their thougts, some were praying, there was nothing left to do,
It was then when suddenly Leon's phone rang, everybody jumped from their seats and approached Leon, "Hunnigan? Any progress?" Leon asked,
"The president and other agency heads are still at the meeting, ther're keeping it extremely confidential, there's still no news" she said,
"What else?" Leon asked,
"We found Stuart Stefano, he changed his name to Michael Nichols right after he was transferred from RPD" she said,
"Where is he now?" Jill asked,
"He lives in LA, I'm sending his address to your PDA Leon, Good luck, I hope you can find something usefull" she said and hung up, After a few seconds Leon's phone rang and he the address was sent,
"Me and Leon are gonna take care of this" Chris said,
"What? No, I have to talk to him, I have so many questins" Jill said,
"Trust me Jill, I know what I'm doing, We're gonna bring him here and you can talk to him" he said, Jill calmed down and nodded,
"OK" Chris said and gestured Leon to follow him.
40 minutes later
Leon parked his car in front of a house and they both got out of the car, Chris noticed a middle-aged man with groceries approaching the house "Right on time" he said and they went to him,
"Sir?" Chris called, the man stopped and looked at them "Can I help you?" he asked,
"Are you Mr Stefano?" Leon asked, the man looked away and shook his head "I'm afraid you have me confuse with someone else, I don't know anyone of that name" he said and entered his house,
"Jill Valentine needs you help" Chris said out loud, making Stu stop on his tracks.
BSAA
"My God, Jill I can't believe you went through all of these" Claire said,
"Me either, Everything is a blur, And Now seeing Stu after all those years, It feels so wierd" she said,
"Fate keeps bringing people back together it seems" Claire said,
"Yeah, just like you and Leon" Jill teased, Claire quickly blushed "Shh, someone might hear" she said,
"Hear what? That you love Leo-" Claire quickly cut her off "Shut up" she said and covered Jill's mouth, They both laughed together.
Suddenly they noticed Chris and Leon entering with another man "Is it him?" Claire asked,
"Yeah, He hasn't changed much" Jill smiled, Stu was the only Jill trusted when she was a child, she never imagined they'd meet again in such conditions.
A few minutes later
Leon approached Jill "Jill, you can tlak to him whenever you feel ready ok? He's in the investigation room" he said, Jill nodded, she took a deep breath and started walking towards the investigation room.
When she opened the door, she noticed Stu drinking from his glass of water, he looked up at the beautiful burnette, he quickly stood up "Jill?" he asked,
Jill tried to hold herslef not to cry "Hello Stu" she greeted him,
"My God look at you, You look amazing" he said, Jill forced smile and came to sit in front of him,
"How have you been?" she asked,
"Oh forget it, just here and there, I was worried to death about you when I heared you escaped, I neve heared from you after that" he said,
"You lied to me, You did know it was Umbrella where they were taking me" she said,
"I had no choice, I did it for you" he said,
"How so? By letting them make experiments on me?" she asked,
"No, I knew you to well for that, for a child at your age, you were too strong and smart, I knew you'd find thing suspicious and try to escape with your roommate, he was no different than you, But getting out of there required two people" he said,
Jill nodded "Yeah, they two sided key holes. So you knew Jake" she said,
"Jake? That's what he said his name was?" he asked,
"He didn't remember, so we just made up a name for him" Jill answered, "Who was he?" she asked,
"I can't tell you that" he said, "Why not?"
"Please Jill, Don't ask, I can't tell, And from what those gentlemen told me I can figure this has nothing to do with your mission" he said,
"He was somehow afraid of coming to police department with me, was it because of you?" she asked,
"No, don't make it harder for me Jill" he begged, Jill nodded and decided not to continue any further,
"Ok then, um, for your investigation our team will come and ask you some questions, thanks for your time Stu, it was nice seeing you again, and for the record I must say, your information would be so helpful for us" she said,
Stu nodded "Of course, anything for my small Jilly, So tell me now, How have been all these years, Are you married?" he asked, noticing her ring,
Jill smiled "I've been working here at BSAA, well I'm engaged, and I also have a daughter" she said,
"Really?" he asked,
"Yeah. A baby girl" Jill smiled,
"My God Jill, that's amazing, so who is this lucky man?" he asked,
"The blacked haired guy that brought you here, Chris" Jill said,
"Of course, I did notice how his voice changed when he talked about you, You guys make a great couple" he said,
"Thank you Stu" she couldn't hold it anymore and her tears strolled down, she quickly wiped them away "Anyway, I'm gonna have to leave now, and again thank you, we really appreciate your help" she said,
Stu slowly approched her and hugged her, Jill hugged her back and cried "Don't thank me, I also knew you'd need my help eventually" he said and patted her back,
Jill pulled away "I'll be watching from that room" she said and pointed to the window,
"I know Jill, I'm a cop too, remember?" he said, Jill giggled "Right" she said and went out.
When she came out she noticed Chris standing in front of the door leaning on the wall with his arms crossed, smiling sweetly at her "We should invite him to our wedding" he said,
Jill laughed, Chris approached her and wiped her tears, he hugged her very tight "I promise to always make you smile after this is all over" he whispered, they just stood there in eachothers embrace.
