Hey, what's up people? I'm back....a lot sooner than I expected, but
caffeine will do that to you...keep you up long enough to write
fanfiction....oh well, I wanted it done anyways. Ok, there is only 1 person
actually winning the contests I put here, not to mention the only person
actually participating besides myself. Oh well, I'm grateful...Yes, Joanne
Beverly has done it again and found the thing out of place. I mean, come
on, the song 'pollution'? The track number was completely wrong. Giving it
the benefit of the doubt, it was 7 numbers from where it should have been.
Hmm....I might keep doing this.....but then again, I might not....kinda
like a dead-in-the-water type of thing.....if you want it, put it in your
review, that's cool with me...anyways, I'm keeping my end of the bargain
here. Just look for her throughout the chapter, ok? Thanks for actually
playing the contest(but it's done for now....sorry....)...oh yeah, I fixed
the last chapter, so nothing that I know of is out of place. Ok? Ok. On
with the next chapter.
THE ASSAULT Chapter 4: Arrival to America
By: EvilQuatreX(aka me...(whistles) over here, to your left! No, your other left!)
By the time the plane landed, it became near dusk outside of LAX, where the plane holding the Redfields had landed. The pilot once again told everyone to remain seated and buckle up. Chris had to buckle Claire up, not to mention himself, for Claire was still asleep, using his arm as a makeshift pillow. He had no trouble putting the seatbelts on either one of them. He had done it before when they flew together. The landing had been a bit rough, but Claire hadn't awoken from it until her brother had shaken her from her sleep.
"We're here," Chris said to his sister.
"...mmm, about time," Claire said as she awoke from her slumber. After all of the landing procedures were finished, Claire and Chris both rose from their seats and left the plane, being behind about half of the passengers on the way up the ramp to the airport lobby. They found Los Angeles to be very crowded, but they didn't mind. After what they had been through, a million live people not willing to chew the flesh from their bones sounded better than no one being there.
They walked through the airport looking for a pay phone, but they quickly realized that they didn't have any american money, much less quarters for the phone call they were about to make. They looked everywhere for help until they came across a woman behind a desk at the front of the airport.
"Hello, can I help you?" was all the cheerful woman behind the desk said. She had Asian features, but anyone could tell she was an American.
"Actually, you can, um..." Chris said while reading the name printed on her small name tag, "Joanne. Do you know where we can exchange currency for American money? We just need to make a phone call and it would be really convenient if you could help us out finding someone who can do that for us, please?" Chris said this with caution, hoping that this wouldn't turn into another incident between him and the Australian woman and the traveler's checks. His hopes came true as she gladly helped them out.
"Sure. I'm sorry, but we don't have anyone who can exchange your money, but I'll let you make a phone call here," Joanne then pulled a telephone up to sit on the desk between her and the Redfields so they could make their phone call.
"Oh, thank you sooo much, I mean, this is the nicest thing anyone has done for us during our flight, thank you," Claire said with complete happiness as Chris punched in the phone card numbers and finally dialed the number, hoping to hear Jill's voice on the line again. After 2 rings, someone on the other side picked up the reciever.
"Hello?" was all that Chris heard from the phone. He recognized the voice as Jill's immediately.
"Jill? Hey, it's me, Chris. We're in LA now, just to let you know."
"Chris! Hey, I'm so glad you called! Hey, we're going to wire you some money for your flight to New York, ok?" Jill's voice was ecstatic upon hearing Chris's voice once again. After a little bit, Jill told Chris all he needed to know for getting the money for their next flight to New York. After Chris and Jill said bye to each other, Chris thanked Joanne for her support and told Claire where they needed to go. Chris told Claire that in about half an hour they would be able to get the money for their trip to NYC.
They decided to find the place they were supposed to get their money, so they went out to find a taxi. They had a few traveler's checks left, so they asked the taxi driver where the place was and asked if he took traveler's checks. The driver said he took them, but wouldn't be able to give change back, seeing as he had just started his shift. After that, they agreed on the terms and arrived in front of their destination in a matter of minutes. They thanked the driver and gave him enough for the ride with one of the remaining traveler's checks.
It still wasn't time yet, so Claire decided to walk around and look at stuff, so Chris tagged along, not knowing anything better to do at the moment. They walked around the block looking at various things in shop windows and the like. Chris caught glimpse at some good cars on the road. Although crowded, Chris admitted that Los Angeles had its fair share of the wealthy. After about fifteen minutes of window shopping, Chris felt hunger take over, and not long after, Claire did too. They conveniently found a fast food restaurant to get something little to eat. After they ate their combined lunch and dinner, they figured it was about time their money was wired, so they went back and asked about the money.
After filling out some paperwork and the like, they walked out of the place with a thousand dollars. Chris knew he definitely needed to thank Jill for all she had done for them. They went back to the airport and bought their tickets to NYC, coincidentally buying them from the nicest airport worker they had ever met, Joanne. After they made small talk with her, they got their tickets, went through airport security and found their flight gate, they settled down once again from all they had done that day.
Now Chris was starting to feel the effects of sleep upon him, but he decided to wait to sleep until they were flying. They didn't have to wait long for their flight boarding because they had bought the last two tickets for that flight about 10 minutes before it was scheduled to depart. After they boarded and went through the same procedures as they did in Australia, the plane took off for New York. This time, neither of them had gotten the window seat as someone else had the seat reserved well before they did.
About five minutes into the flight, Chris dozed off into a peaceful sleep. Claire had entertained herself with her CD player, stealing her brother's CD because she wanted something else to listen to. The flight didn't take as long as they expected, but the sun was completely out of sight when they arrived. Chris woke up on his own and saw that his sister had raided his own CD player. He didn't mind for the moment, so they quietly left the plane and went up the flight bridge to see an unexpected sight.
Standing right next to the gate were some very good friends of the Redfields. Chris spotted the four, but only recognized two people there, Barry, his long-time friend, and Jill. He hadn't seen Jill for the longest time, but she looked just about the same as she did during the Mansion incident, except she was wearing a blue tank top and denim shorts. Barry was wearing his usual khaki pants and his vest over a white shirt. Claire immediately recognized Leon there, dressed in denim cargo jeans and a white shirt, but neither Chris nor Claire recognized the fourth person with them.
Once they saw the two emerge from the plane, Jill wasn't able to control herself. She immediately ran to Chris, grabbing onto him where they both hugged the other back. Chris was a little surprised at this because he had never seen Jill like this, but soon after returned the embrace by wrapping his arms around her. Claire casually walked over to Leon and hugged him as well, but still showing about the same level of happiness Jill was showing.
"Leon! I haven't seen you in forever, how are you?" was all that Claire said while she was in embrace with him.
"Um, pretty good, how about you? Are you all right?" Leon responded to Claire while adding his own question.
"Ugh, long story, I'll tell you about it later. So, what's up?" Claire and Leon kept talking to each other as Chris and Jill made their way back to them. When they got there, Leon introduced the new face among them.
"Ok, Claire, Chris, this is Ark, he's one of us now. I asked him to infiltrate one of Umbrella's, um, plants, and afterwards I asked him to help us out. He's top notch, and he's already helped us out a lot. Ark, this is Claire and Chris Redfield," Leon said without hesitation. Chris, Claire and Ark said their hello's to each other.
"Oh, I'm sorry, Chris, this is Leon, he helped me out and saved me in Raccoon City. Leon, this is my brother Chris, the person I asked you to email," Claire said, partially embarrassed as she didn't do this sooner. Chris was happy to meet Leon as was Leon to meet Chris, although a bit flushed about Claire saying that he had saved her in Raccoon City. Even though it was true, Leon was easily embarrassed.
Chris finally said his share. "Oh, Claire, you already know Barry," Chris said as Claire and Barry hugged briefly, "and this is Jill. Jill, this is my little sister Claire." They both said hi to each other while Chris talked.
"Well, I guess we should get back to the place now, huh?" Jill said, as if wanting to get out of the airport. She had good reason for wanting to get out of there, for if they were ever seen in one public place by Umbrella....
Once they got out of the airport, they walked back to the apartment the four were temporarily staying in. The following morning, they were going to move to a different place with lots of weaponry and ammunition they had saved up and confiscated from Umbrella. The place they called 'home': the hangar.
Well, there's chapter 4 for yaz! This will be a VERY long story, probably spanning over 20 chapters, so be prepared.......and don't say something like, "Hey, you never told us that, I thought it would be short and all."(btw, not trying to offend people with that last statement.....I'm just tired.......) Well, have fun reading this chapter, and LATER!
