Chapter 1

Leon,

I got a call from Barry, telling me to meet him, Chris, Jill, Carlos, and Rebecca in London.  Something big is gonna happen, Leon.  We'll need your help.  I need your help.

It's time to take down Umbrella.

--Claire

            That's the last Leon heard from Claire.  That was a week ago.  He'd gone over the e-mail several times in his head, but something didn't seem right.  Why wasn't he contacted by Barry, or one of the other S.T.A.R.S.?  And they never used the phone to contact one another, it was too risky.  They always stuck to e-mail.  Leon didn't feel right about this.

            You can't die Claire.  You're the only one I have left…  Claire is the only one left that shared the Raccoon nightmare with him.  Ada was dead, and Sherry was missing.   Leon had also grown a bit 'attached' to Claire.  In the few weeks after Chris had saved her from Rockfort Island he had she had gotten really close, almost romantically.  He started thinking about why he was doing this.  (Which he did a lot.)  Was it just another pathetic excuse to get close to her?  No.  Umbrella had to go down; being close to Claire was just an added bonus.  At one point he thought he loved her.  Now he wasn't sure what he felt.

            But now wasn't the time to think about that.  And besides, it's not like he could think, with the motor of the helicopter right above his head.

            "Ten minutes!"  The pilot yelled over the noise.

            Leon gave a thumbs up to signal that he understood.  They had friends in high places, and it's a good thing there was a big group dedicated to the takedown of Umbrella in London.  And there was only one Umbrella facility in London too, so that made things a lot easier.

            "Five minutes!"  The pilot yelled again.

            Jesus Christ, had it been five minutes already?  His mind was wondering, he needed to get back on track.  He had everything he needed, Kevlar vest, his trusty Desert Eagle .50 caliber Action Express(which he liked to call Big-Boomer), a Remington M1100-P that was strapped to his back (which Leon had no trouble using, since he used one in Raccoon), a Colt M4 Carbine with a laser sight, a combat knife, and finally a medical kit.  He also had enough ammunition to take down a small army.  24 extra shells for the Remington, 3 extra clips for the M4 with 30 rounds in each magazine, and 3 extra clips for the Desert Eagle with 6 rounds in each mag.  None of it was his, except for the Desert Eagle, of course.  He borrowed it all from the people who were now taking him straight into the heart of Umbrella…

            "Two minute warning Leon!"

            Here we go…  Leon checked and loaded all of his weapons, then holstered them.  He sat there looking at his feet for the remaining two minutes thinking.  Please Claire, don't be dead.  I don't know what I'd do.  First it was Ada…Leon closed his eyes, remembering Raccoon, remembering Ada, pointing her gun at him, her empty gun.  The gunshot wound on his shoulder was still healing, even though it had been almost a year after all of that happened.  Every time it hurts he thinks of her.  Then Sherry; he didn't know who took her; he had been knocked out from behind.  When he came to, Sherry was gone.  What could Umbrella want with a 12 year old girl?  I can't lose you too Claire.

            Leon felt the copter jerk as they landed.  "This is as far as I go!"  The pilot yelled over the engine.

            "Alright, catch ya later!"  Leon yelled as he gave a thumbs up and jumped out.

            He had her.  Woodrow's scheme was going according to plan.  Perfect.

            "Let me out, god damnit!"  Claire screamed.

            "It will be quiet, or else it gets the hose again."  Woodrow said quietly.  Claire was silent.  That's right, you dumb bitch, he thought calmly, you fell right into my trap, and nothing can save your sorry ass now.

            Leon would be here soon, he knew that.  Then all that was left was to send the e-mail to Chris informing him that Claire and Leon were following a lead in London.  Since this was the only Umbrella lab in London, they would be here a few days after he sent it.

            "You don't have to do this!"  Claire screamed again.  "Please!"

            "Didn't I tell you to shut the fuck up!?"  Woodrow yelled.  He grabbed the hose again, and turned the nozzle, spraying Claire with freezing water.  She screamed, and that only irritated him further.  "Shut up!"  He yelled, "I can't think!"  He shut off the hose, and Claire stopped screaming.  That's better…  "Now be a good little girl, you don't want your friend Leon to think less of you because you can't behave, do you?"

             "Leon's gonna kick your ass."  Claire said, glaring at Woodrow.

            "Oh, I highly doubt that," he said calmly.  "Do you really think he would risk his life for you?"

            "Why not?"  Claire asked.

            "Hmm," Woodrow wondered aloud, "do you two have a relationship I should know about?"  She was silent.  "Are you fucking him?"  Claire looked at him like he was some kind of pervert.  "Are you fucking him?  Answer me, bitch!"

            "N-no," she stammered.

            "I don't believe you."  Woodrow said with a plain look on his face.  "Tell me you're not fucking him.  I want to hear you say it."  Claire just stared at him.  "Would you like to become one of my little guinea pigs?  I have no problem transforming you into one of my many creations…"  He trailed off.

            "No, I'm not fucking him, alright?"  Claire said angrily.

            Woodrow smiled, "I know you want to fuck him, don't you?"  She should be humiliated for what she did to Umbrella.  To his company.  And he started to like it.  She was silent again.  "I know you do.  I've seen his file, he's very cute.  I know I'd fuck him."  Claire was giving him that weird look again.  Woodrow grabbed the bars to her cell violently, "answer my question, would you fuck him?!"  He yelled, getting frustrated.  She tricked him into saying that, for her own amusement.  He knew it.  But he knew how to get her to talk.  He smirked.  "The two of you rolling around, groping at each other like some savage animals, then he would stick his big-

            "Yes, I want to fuck him!  Are you happy now, you freak?!"  Claire yelled, cutting him off.

"Good girl, now describe what you want him to do to you…"

Woodrow is turning out to be kinda creepy, don'tcha think??  If you like "The Silence of the Lambs" you probably noticed the little saying from it, but if you didn't I'm not going to tell you…^_^ REVIEW!! REVIEW I SAY!!!
