DEDICATION: Well basically to all who love this fic but mainly Joanne Beverly, since she's the most hooked on it and is always pushing me to update it even while reviewing my other fic! Girl I love your stories and you SO better not leave FF.net EVA!
THE AFTERWARDS:
Leon paced up and down the room as the rest of the gang watched him nervously. It had been almost 2 weeks already since he had last seen Chris, and about 4 months since he had seen Claire. The whole gang finally met up a week earlier in Paris to discuss plans involving Umbrella and to find out where the Redfield siblings might be. If they were still alive that is.
"Leon would you stop pacing like that, you're making me dizzy!" said Jill annoyed as she slouched on the couch next to Barry who was busy making a list of the weapons and ammo they were able to collect.
"Why the hell hasn't Chris contacted us yet?! Does it take this long to fly to the Island and back? Something isn't right, I know it," said Leon placing a hand on his chin, as he looked down at the floor in deep thought.
"You worry too much man. Just chill out, I'm sure Chris and Claire are just fine," said Carlos, putting a playful arm around Rebecca's shoulders. He had grown flirtier with Rebecca since the second day they met, most probably because they were the closest in age.
"Go away Carlos," she said, faking her irritation at his not so surprising actions.
"Leon, sit down and relax, you're too young to grow gray hairs," said Barry stretching his legs out onto the table. Jill chuckled to herself silently.
"I'm just wondering amigo's.....what the hell is motivating you all in doing this?" asked Carlos, sounding somewhat serious for once.
"Doing what?" said Jill, looking at Carlos questioningly.
"THIS. You know, chasing after Umbrella, risking your lives, everything," he explained.
"That's a good question," said Barry, "in my case I would have to say, my team mates and family. Those who have died, those I was forced to betray and my family who suffered greatly because of Umbrella. I can't bear to look my daughters in the eye when they ask me what happened to all their school friends in Raccoon. I guess that's what motivates me in doing what I'm doing. In fighting back and avenging the people who died. It's also my responsibility as a fellow human being."
Everyone stared at Barry who spoke this with such calm and ease, considering the dangerous situation they were up against.
"That's deep man," said Carlos, "And I totally agree. So how about you Jill?"
Jill wasted no time in saying her answer. "Same as Barry. I agree with all of it, but most of all Chris is what motivates me." Everyone looked at her with goofy grins. "Don't look at me like that people! It's true, Chris does motivate me, and not for the reason you're thinking, but because of his own determination. He'll stop Umbrella on his own if he had to, and it just makes me want to stay by his side all the more. Simple as that."
"Well, personally I'm in it for the sexy ladies here. I mean if stopping Umbrella means having girls like Rebecca and Jill around, and hey I'm sure Claire is pretty hot too, then hell yeah, I'm in!" Said Carlos, who was then attacked with various objects from all around the room.
"You're such an idiot Carlos, trust you to say that!" said Rebecca folding her arms in front of her.
"I'm kidding! Well maybe I'm not, heheh, but still I just wanna kick Umbrella's ass before they get to South America too. I also know we'll get filthy rich once we're done!"
"Honestly, is money all you ever think about??" Asked Rebecca, looking annoyed.
"Of course babe. I'm a mercenary after all. But you know, stopping a killer virus from contaminating the world is a bonus too," he answered, giving Rebecca a huge, toothy smile, which only caused her to roll her eyes.
"Leon?" said Jill, causing Leon to spin around quickly.
"Yeah?"
"Why are you still here? I mean your family and friends live outside of Raccoon; you really don't need to be involved in this crap like we are. We've dug too far in to be able to get out of it easily anyway," she said, crossing her long legs on the table.
Leon shrugged. "Responsibility I guess. There's no way in hell I'd let you guys have all the fun in taking Umbrella down."
"Not that we don't love your company, but I can't help but feel like there's a bit of revenge mixed in there too," said Jill, raising a brow in question.
"Revenge? Hell yeah I want revenge, who wouldn't? I mean you guys saw Raccoon city and what those bastards in Umbrella did. And now they take Claire in and God knows if she's still alive. And all she ever wanted to do was find Chris, and look at the mess she's into. Sherry and Claire motivate me I guess. Sherry who showed enormous strength for her young age, and Claire who went as far as breaking into their facility to know where her brother was. I was blessed with meeting 3 very strong women in Raccoon, and they motivate me in ways I can't explain. Jeez that sounds so corny when I think about it," said Leon giving a little chuckle.
Carlos looked at Leon enviously, "three women, you lucky bastard! Who's the third?"
Leon let out an exasperated sigh, "Ada. But I'd rather not talk about that." Everyone got the hint and stayed quiet.
"Rebecca, you've been awfully quiet. So tell us your part in all this. After all what does an 18 year old girl want with fighting Umbrella?" Asked Barry.
Rebecca looked down thinking for a moment. "Well," she started, "I guess what you said goes for me too. I mean the teammates I lost. My friend's who died in Raccoon, and above all it's a responsibility and a burden we have to carry. Because WE know about Umbrella, and we have to do everything to stop it from hurting other people. What do we have to lose now? Family? Friends? I've lost most of them already....." Rebecca stopped and looked down; her eye's going slightly watery. No one knew the pain she had to endure because of Umbrella, but it only made her more determined and stronger.
"Awww Becky," said Jill soothingly, walking over to Rebecca and giving her a tight hug. Rebecca smiled weakly and hiccupped.
"Ok let's change this damn subject, it's too depressing," said Leon, grabbing the TV remote and switching it on. A French movie was playing. Leon changed the channels a couple of times before giving up. "Everything's in French, even 'Friends' is dubbed in French!"
Jill laughed, "I gotta say, Ross sounds gayer than ever speaking in French!" everyone joined in the laughter, turning the mood slightly lighter than it was before.
Leon's cell phone rang, making him jump. He ran to his duffle back and fished it out quickly.
"Hello?" He answered, wondering who might be calling him when he was over sea's. He could only think of Ark as an option, since no one else knew his cell phone number.
"Hello Kennedy," came the cold voice of Albert Wesker.
Leon gasped in surprise, turning around to check if anyone was watching him. Jill looked at him questioningly.
"What do you want?" Asked Leon just as coldly.
"Leon, who is it??" Asked Jill, her face growing uneasy.
"Trust me Kennedy you don't want to tell them. Unless you want to involve all your friend's in danger I suggested you keep it quiet and listen closely to me."
"Umm, it's Ark from NY, he's just if everything's alright." Leon answered Jill quickly, and moved into the big hotel room he was sharing with Barry and Carlos which was across the hall from Jill and Rebecca's room where the gang was currently in. He made sure to close the door tightly behind him.
"How'd you get this number?" Asked Leon quickly, his heart beating fast in fear of what the answer might be.
"Your good friend Ark gave it to me of course." Came the sly voice of the mortal enemy.
Leon gritted his teeth, "what did you do to him?" he asked slowly, trying to keep his voice calm and strong.
"Leon, Leon! I'm surprised at you. You're acting like I'M the bad guy." His answer was followed by a sinister laugh, which brought a chill down Leon's spine.
"If you hurt-"
"Your pathetic friend is alive.....For now. But you still have good use for us. This is an offer you don't want to refuse Kennedy, since a certain little girl's life is in your hands."
"Sherry!" Said Leon, louder than he has intended to, "don't you touch her! I'm warning you Wesker-"
Wesker laughed, cutting Leon off short. "Warning me? I always knew you were gullible, but I never knew you to be so stupid."
"Why are you doing this?" Asked Leon, frowning deeply as he clenched his fists.
"Shut up and just follow orders. I want you back at the Paris Umbrella facility tomorrow night. Your mission will be to retrieve the Progenitor Virus. DON'T mess this up Kennedy....." Leon heard a bit of fumbling on the other side of the line, and then a faint childish voice could be heard. "Leon!" Sherry shouted into the phone, but this was only for a second until Wesker's unwelcome voice was to be heard again.
"Sherry! No wait!"
"You have 24 hours to get ready. I suggest you start now." And with that, the phone died.
"Shit! Shit, shit, SHIT!!" Screamed Leon, throwing the cell phone to the wall with such strength, that he caused it to shatter to a hundred pieces. This was followed by various vulgar words being shouted at once. Leon never thought he could swear so much in his life at such a short period of time.
He sat heavily on his bed, brushing both his hands back into his light brown hair. 'Try to get out of this one smart guy.' He thought to himself bitterly. He knew what he had to do, and he had no choice. Wesker had made that easy for him, and now he would have to leave everyone before getting them involved in his mess also. This was something he had to do alone, and he had 24 hours to get ready.
A/N: Ok done with this chapter. Like I said sorry it was late. And I know it's kinda short, but I seriously hardly have time to update! And plus I stupidly got myself into 2 other stories I have to concentrate on also, meaning all updates will be delayed a bit. Hope you enjoyed this nonetheless, and hopefully we'll get into the action in the next chapter! Expect twists (well I hope I can do them properly, lol) and a lot of weird events to take place. We might even be seeing our friend Steve again~_^ R&R peeps! Give me suggestions, criticism, ANYTHING.
