Chapter 3
Wesker stood silently, waiting for Ada & Leon to return. He was well aware that Ada would be angry for putting them in the situation he had. Ada walked in five minutes later looking very unhappy & Wesker stifled a grin. Wesker & his superiors had felt it necessary to test Leon's loyalties & Wesker was very surprised from what the squad had reported but he wanted a direct report from Ada before he took it seriously. Ada walked towards him & he could clearly see an I-told-you-so coming.
"Ada my dear, you don't look very happy." Wesker said smoothly.
"Why would I? I know why you sent us but still, wasn't there a less, dangerous way to check?" Ada snapped back, though she didn't show any anger towards him, only displeasure.
"No. It was the only way to test him. Now I want a report." He replied.
Ada nodded & followed him to his office. Thirty minutes later & the debriefing was over. Ada was about to leave when Wesker stopped her, having remembered something else he needed to mention.
"One final thing, don't you think you should tell him your real name? Ada is officially inactive as of tomorrow." He said it smoothly but deliberately.
"I, hadn't really thought about it but yes, I suppose I should. I'm sure it will be quite confusing for him though." Ada replied blankly. Wesker waved his hand to dismiss her & continued with some other work.
Wesker finished twenty minutes later & now sat trying to come up with a way to get his revenge on the S.T.A.R.S, so far he had not thought of anything that would definitely work. Getting them where he wanted them would be difficult, they would be a lot more cautious after the Pickerel Lake mission. Though his plan of using Kennedy to obtain the T-E Virus had worked perfectly. It's just a matter of time Redfield. Then, I'm not going to let anything come between your death & me. All you stupid S.T.A.R.S are dead! Better yet, why not have Kennedy kill Redfield's sister right in front of him? Then, I can have the pleasure of destroying him mentally & physically. Wesker smiled, revenge would be sweet.
Leon sat in the room he was sharing with Ada, waiting for her to return. Ada grinned shyly when she entered the room some time later.
"Um, there's something I need to tell you." She said hesitantly.
Leon frowned, wondering what she would possibly need to tell him.
"So? What is it?" He asked.
"Well, it's about my name actually."
"I don't understand? What about it?"
"You see, Ada Wong is a mission name, not my real name & it's defunct as of midnight."
"This is going to get confusing isn't it? I have to call you by a different name all of a sudden?"
"Basically, yes."
"So, what is your real name?"
"First, my name changes all the time, each mission I take calls for a new identity. Okay? My birth name is Aki Wolf."
"Aki? Where does that come from?"
"Japan originally, I think. Well, that's all I had to tell you." Ada blushed & looked away.
"You don't need to get embarrassed about it, Aki."
Aki looked back at Leon & he smiled. Nothing else mattered to him but her & the love they both shared. They embraced long & hard, which was eventually stopped when Aki received a call. She took it & apologized when she hung up, she had to leave him again. Leon shrugged & she kissed him quickly before she left. Aki Wolf not Ada Wong, this is going to be very difficult but what does a name matter? The only thing that matters is that she is the woman I love, I can deal with the name thing. What's that saying? A rose by any other name would still smell as sweet? Something like that. Leon smiled, sayings weren't a strong point for him, not that he cared. He sat down, suddenly thinking of Raccoon City & Claire. He hesitated, knowing that it was probably a bad idea but he soon found the phone in his hand, calling her number.
"Hello?" A fatigue filled voice spoke.
"...Um, hi Claire." He said hesitantly.
"Leon?" She asked, surprised & now fully alert.
"I, err, I wanted to apologies for what I said earlier." Came the feeble response.
"Apologies? You don't have anything to apologies for. I understand Leon, that you followed your heart. You told me that you couldn't live without her, right. It's all right Leon. Tell me something, were you helping Steve?"
"...Yes, I was. That was before I..."
"Did, did he saying anything to you, about me?"
"Yes, he did. That was why I had to help, because if you got into trouble he was going to help you no matter what & that jeopardized his mission. He was the one that offered me a place here actually, he said that the two of us were alike, both trapped from the woman we loved, he said I could leave you guys & be with her. I didn't believe him at first but...then it was placed in front of me again & I just couldn't say no."
"He really said he loved me?" Claire started crying at this point.
"Yes Claire, he loved you very much & making sure that you got out safely was all that mattered to him. You were his life, just like she is mine."
"Oh Leon, I miss him so much, I really do. Yet at the same time I'm happy for you. This is confusing."
"Sorry Claire. It's late, I should go. I shouldn't have called in the first place."
"But you did, not to apologies, you don't regret your choice, it was to tell me what Steve had said, so I knew how he felt. Thank you Leon, thank you so very much. Take care."
With that she hung up, Leon placed the phone back on the receiver & sighed. There you go Steve, she knows now. Leon sighed & laid down, wondering if he would get in trouble for calling Claire, he knew it was an untraceable line but it might cause questions to arise as to his loyalties.
"Was it really necessary Kennedy?" Wesker asked. Leon jumped, not realizing that Wesker was in the room.
"I think so. Steve did me a favour & I was repaying it." Leon replied as casually as he could. Wesker just nodded, it was almost impossible to tell what he was thinking. Finally he looked directly at Leon.
"Fine, this time but no more contact Kennedy. Got it?" It was a cold, firm order. Leon just nodded, feeling intimidated by the man in front of him. Wesker, seemingly satisfied, turned & left the room. Aki entered a short time later with a disapproving look on her face. Leon grinned shyly & she shook her head smiling as well.
"Big risk Kennedy. Could've caused major problems for you." Aki said in an authoritative tone.
"I know, I just felt like I owed him it though." Leon replied.
Aki nodded & motioned that she was going to bed but Leon had other plans. He grabbed her & pulled her close to him, they kissed passionately & Leon started to undress her. Their first night together as a couple would be one that they would both remember for a long time to come.
