[parasite EVIL]
[resonance]
Chapter Three
Please don't ask me when Ada and Leon did it. All will be reveled in the future, and it makes a huge impact. And for those who didn't play Parasite Eve 2, MIST calls Agent Baldwin 'Hal' after the impersonal talking computer from 2001, A SPace Odyssey. ~*---------------------*~
"Ada Wong? Ada Wong is dead! Why do you wan to know about her for?" Leon questioned as he rode with Aya in her newly restored car and the way to MIST Headquarters. After dropping Sherri at her school, Leon insisted they take the long way to H.Q. if he was going to tell her about what happened in Raccoon City.
"Not quite. A Ada Wong checked into a Hotel in Dryfield, Nevada right before it was run over with NMCs and ANMCs. She was decribed as asian-american, black hair, blue eyes, and pregnant. I ran a scan for her and your lovely name poped up as the only one to declare her death. There are no other Ada Wongs with that desciption in the US." Aya stated as she drove, while Leon's mind seemed preoccupied at the moment. "Leon?"
"She was pregnant?" Was the only statement that came out of Leon's mouth. Aya shot a look at him.
"You didn't........." Leon just looked back at her, "You did?"
"Not that it matters, it was over two years ago when we did 'it'. When did she sign into Dryfield?"
"November, last year." Aya announced, looking back at Leon, who looked quite releved and puzzled. "What's wrong."
"You didn't know Ada. She would be the last person to have children. She was very independant." Leon stated as he looked at his watch. "Hey it's almost noon."
"What do you want for lunch? My treat." Aya offered.
"Taco Bell of McDonalds, doesn't matter to me. If we're gonna continue to talk about Ada and what happened, we need to get something fast and to go." Aya tought she heard fear and pain in his voice, but decided to drop it.
"Leon, I want you to take a look at this." "Hmmmmm?" After getting Taco Bell to go, the two had stopped at a abandoned field to eat and talk in private. Climbing onto the hood of her car the two ate and relaxed until Aya interuped the silence. Leon took the folder in Aya's hand and leafed through it as he chewed. With a gulp, Leon begain to speak and nod.
"My report. What about it?"
"Why are all those parts blackened out?" Aya asked, pointing to all the black marks on his report.
"Umbrella's cronies did that. I was about to be taken in with them untill Rupert saved my bacon back around late November."
"That's right." Aya agreed, nodding, "That's when Hal was arrested and Rupert took over."
"Hal's the one who took the report from me and returned a copy of it to me like this." Leon pointed to Agent Baldwin's signature. "When I asked him, he said it was to protect me and most importantly Sherri and Claire. I was shaken by that and went on the run."
"Why?" Aya asked. With a serious look, Leon responded.
"I never mentioned Claire in my report. I was scarred for her and Sherri, so I ran. And somehow, Rupert found me in November and offered me a job at MIST, wanting to uncover what Hal covered. What happened to Hal?" Leon asked taking another bite of his taco.
"Hal was selling info, along with other FBI agents to private companies."
"Ah, so he was in cahoots with Umbrella." Leon took a spoonful of rice into his mouth after the comment, they sipped from his soda.
"Can I ask you something?" Aya asked with a loud sip from her drink.
"Shoot."
"Why trust us now after what Hal had done." Swallowing his food, Leon spoke;
"I did a background check on Rupert. Any man that lost his daughter wouldn't damn another family to the same fate. I trust him."
"And me?"
"Same thing goes for you, except you lost your sister and your mother." At Aya's shocked expression, Leon explained, "Pierce told me. Now that guy, he reminds me of me, except I'd go head first into a gun fight."
"Yeah, he may not be much on the range, but he's a good friend. So," Aya again pressured Leon with the report."Can you help me fill in the blanks?"
Leon smiled brightly and took the paper. "Okay. What happened was Raccoon was over taken by virus' called the T-Virus and the G-Virus. Believe it or not, the whole town was overtaken by zombies. Human, dog, rat, cat.... it didn't matter. They were all infected. I arrived a day later and found myself and Claire trapped. We both ran to the police station only to find it over run with infected animals and people. We later found out the police chief was also in Umbrella's pocket. From what Claire told me, the guy was a loon. Anyho, while I was trying to escape the station through the sewers...."
"The sewers?" Aya asked wrinkling her nose.
"Hey, you're just hearing about it. I had to trudge through that crap. Literally. Anyway, as I was trying to get out, I met up with the woman in question. Ada Wong. We escaped only to find ourselves in Umbrella's lab. I must say, it was one hell of a dive for something hidden. We then tryed to find a way out of the lab and hopefully, out of the city. When we did, Ada was killed by a scientist who was still alive. Ada fell off a railing and fell a llloooonnnnngggggg way. The scientist died on the spot. MJe and Claire then found a train out of there, right when the auto-destruct was triggered on the lab."
"No lab, no evidence." The blond agent stated.
"Well, I did have plently of evidence but Hal....." At Aya's painful groaning, Leon continued, "Well, we got on the train only to find out that there was not only a monster on the train but a....."
"Self-destruct system."
"Self-destruct system." The two said simultaneously, "Right, so then we had to jump ship and walk all the way to the nearest town. That's about the gust of it." Aya just staired to her food.
"All that evidence, destroyed."
"Well," Leon reached into his back pocket and pulled out several sheets of folded and worn paper. "I didn't give it all to Hal." Greedly, Aya grabbed the paper and unfolded them. They were spattered with faded blood, but still readable.
"September 20th.....The Raccoon Police Dept. was unexpectedly attacked by Zombies......" Aya's eyes scanned the papers as she read off them, "4 paged signed by a David Ford......To: Mr. Brian Irons.....I have deposited the amount of US $10,000 to the account for your services......" Pausing, Aya looked up at Leon with pure hope, "There must be 10 pages of evidence here!"
