Chris groaned and turned off his alarm clock. It was too early to be up, especially on a Saturday...He rolled over and went back to sleep.

********

Meanwhile Claire was downstairs cooking breakfast. She checked her watch. 9:30. Was Chris getting up or what?

Claire hated making her brother get up so early on a weekend, but it was for a good cause.

"CHRIS! GET YOUR ASS DOWN HERE OR I'M TAKING YOUR CREDIT CARDS AND LEAVING!"

A few minutes later Chris stumbled down the stairs in jeans and his nightshirt.

"Have a nice sleep?"

Chris glared at her, "Why am I doing this for you?"

Claire smiled and gave Chris his breakfast, "Because you know if you don't, I'll never leave you alone again."

"Why don't you just take Leon?"

Claire blushed slightly, "Because Leon will not pay for my motorcycle. Now eat up. I wanna visit several dealers today and make sure we get the best deal."

Chris sighed and tried to eat his scrambled eggs. He found them to be extra rubbery today. He walked around to the sink and swiftly threw them down the garbage disposal when Claire had her back turned.

"You know, you could borrow my bike. You don't need one of your own."

"Yes I do!" Claire argued, "You're always using yours and I had one of my own before I went to Raccoon. But it was destroyed when they blew up the city!"

Chris sighed at the mention of Raccoon City. He had loved his life there. But that was before Umbrella got there. That was before he lost his friends to that damn company.

'Snap out of it Chris,' his mind yelled, 'You've got everything you need here. Claire. Jill...'

He smiled at the thought of Jill. She was...incredible. He'd liked her since the moment he'd first seen her. It had only been a small attraction then, but as he got to know her...wow! She could do everything.

There was no doubt; he'd fallen in love with her.

But did she feel the same way?

Chris sighed inwardly. There was no way he could tell. There were times when Jill seemed to love Chris just as much, but other times, she seemed so distant....

"Yo, Chris! Hurry up!" Claire's voice snapped Chris out of his thoughts. And within a couple of minutes they were out the door.

************************

Leon sighed and turned to his desk at the police station. He had desk duty today.

**Boring!**

He leaned back in his chair and wondered what Claire was doing.

They'd just started dating last week. But you'd never be able to tell it. Claire wouldn't let Leon get too close to her.

Leon sighed and started mindlessly filling out the mounds of paper work. He knew Claire was still constantly thinking of Steve.

**But he's gone dammit!**

And he's been gone for over a year now.

**Relax, Leon. She's still recovering.**

But how much time would she need to 'recover'?

*************

Jill leisurely ran her brush through her hair. She was in no rush. She didn't need to be anywhere for another three hours. She was meeting Rebecca at the mall. Girls' day out.

**Not like I'll enjoy myself...**

Jill wasn't much for going shopping, mostly because of how she was brought up. Richard had taught her how to steal what she wanted. He taught her 'why buy things when you can get them for free?'

**Dear old dad...**

Well, now 'dear old dad' is serving his sentence in prison. That's what had made Jill join the S.T.A.R.S. (Special Tactics and Rescue Squad); what had caused a dramatic change in Jill's life.

**Maybe it would have been safer to continue being a thief. You never would have had to deal with Umbrella...**

'You also never would have met Chris.' Her mind argued.

She smiled slightly. Chris. He was amazing. So strong, so commanding; and yet, so gentle and kind. She did love him. But there were times she still thought of Carlos. Not like it mattered. She'd insisted that they could only be friends shortly after they left Raccoon. Sometimes she felt guilty about not giving him a chance, but she knew it never would have worked. Not something she could explain, just a gut instinct about him.

But did Chris feel the same way about her?

She sighed and continued brushing her hair.
