Chapter Four

*Desicions*

August 20th

Morning, 9:30AM

STARS Office

It's been four days and I haven't seen hide nor hair of Chris as of late...He's ignored my calls and he's seems to never be at home, I'm worried.* *Barry is gone, he said something about going to see his family, so it's been really quiet here just me and Rebecca.*

*I miss the days where we all would just talk about stupid stuff and went about our lives like normal people...but Umbrella...and Wesker took that away from us and even though we survived one nightmare Chris, Barry, Rebecca and myself have all been pulled into something much bigger and memories of our comrades dying deaths they didn't deserve will plague my mind possibly forever. *

"Jill?" Rebecca asks from her desk. "Yeah?" I respond a little fazed.

"Hmm...you alright?" Rebecca asks "To be honest Rebecca, life is hell right now." Jill sighed hard and leaned back in her chair "Well either one it's Chris...or two...it's Chris." Rebecca smiled slightly. "It's number two, I guess it's sounds better when you pick the second choice." Jill chuckled "So what's the problem now?" Rebecca asked "Well everything was cool until, Chris got this idea to go to Europe and take on Umbrella's HQ with Barry." Jill sighed "Just him and Barry? Alone?" Rebecca questioned "Yeah, he planned on leaving us behind." Jill stated

Rebecca was silent, she brushed a hair out of her face and thought contentedly on the whole Umbrella HQ.

"I don't know where he is, he isn't answering my calls and he's never home it seems." "I, just don't know what to do anymore..." Jill sighed

"I'll talk to him for you..." Rebecca stated slowly. "Will you? He sure as heck won't talk to me." Jill smiled falsely. Rebecca smiled to Jill then began to work silently on a few case reports.

August 20th 5:00 PM Raccoon City, Chris' Apartment.

Rebecca knocked solemnly, she was a bit nervous she'd always had a "thing" for Chris, A "thing" cause well she didn't what else to call it. Besides it seemed Chris and Jill already had a truly deep thing going here and she sure didn't want to come between that.

Chris sighed, as he heard the knocking. He was hesitant in answering but it might be important. Opening the door he was surprised to see the smiling face of Rebecca staring back at him.

"Rebecca? What a surprise." Chris was actually surprised. "Yeah, it's me." Rebecca smiled, and let herself in.

Chris was a bit taken aback he wasn't prepared for this at all.

"Nice place you got here." Rebecca stated "Yeah, I guess...so err what brings ya here?" Chris asked, still very confused. "Well, I'm gonna cut the chase Chris...you need to talk to Jill." Rebecca crossed her arms.

Chris' features grew serious, he didn't want to hear about Jill right now.

"Did Jill send you?" Chris retorted irritably "No I sent myself smart guy." Rebecca smirked Chris sighed hard, as stated before he REALLY didn't want to hear this, but it looked like he was going to anyway.

"Look Chris, I'm no one to state what you should or shouldn't do...but I'm advising as a friend to go talk to Jill." Rebecca wanted this to end as much as Chris did.

"There's nothing to discuss." Chris simply put it. "There's a lot of things to discuss Chris, Jill's a wreak without you...and I'm sure your not as vibrant as you could be face it you need her too whether you realize it or not." Rebecca lectured

Chris was without words, sure Rebecca was right but he wasn't sure the argument they'd had was explosive...he told her that "they" we're a mistake...without even trying first.

"Don't give up on her Chris...I know you want her to be safe but when it comes down to it none of us are really safe." Rebecca stated matter-of- factly

"Your right." Chris shook his head "I know I am." Rebecca smiled "I'll be leaving soon, I've decided to move my stuff to secret location for right now." Chris informed her. "Hmm...thanks for telling me...I think I'll be leaving too." Rebecca silently replied. "Huh? Where are you going?" Chris asked "There someone I need to go find...you know see if he's err...their okay." Rebecca corrected. "He who?" Chris prodded "Hey I'm entitled to my privacy aren't I?" Rebecca winked at Chris. "Sorry...are you gonna meet up with us in Europe?" Chris asked "Yeah...Umbrella has taken things away from me as well." Rebecca stated.

Chris nodded, and hugged Rebecca.

"Thanks kid, your wise beyond your years." Chris smiled "Just remember Chris, Jill loves you, she always will..." Rebecca's voice was muffled from being in his embrace but the message was heard.

Chris realized her, and smiled.

"Take care Chris...until we meet again in Europe." Rebecca smiled and left his apartment, closing the door softly behind her.

Chris looked to the floor, then to the ceiling it was time to talk to Jill...

August 20th

Night

Raccoon City, Jill's Apartment

Jill laid on her bed, her mind set on sleep...but of course she was thinking about Chris. She hadn't heard from Rebecca which led her to believe that she hadn't talked to Chris and that he may well be gone from the US by now.

Jill felt her eyes burning, she wasn't about to cry now she'd been doing too much of that lately.

A knock at the door startled Jill a bit, but she brought herself to get up and go answer it.

Opening the door Jill was ambushed with a kiss from Chris, who held her close to him as if nothing could take her away from him.

Jill was shocked, confused and a bit relieved.

Chris pulled back, and looked into Jill's eyes.

"I'm sorry." He whispered to her Jill smiled to him, and rubbed away a stray tear. "I should have never tried to control you, and tell you whether you should stay or go." " It's your decision." "It's okay...I guess you meant well...I'm just glad your still here." Jill smiled Chris smirked, and looked at her silently.

"I want you to stay with me tonight...please..." Jill pleaded with a whisper. Chris nodded, and smiled.

Jill clasped her hand with his and led him slowly to her room...

*******

Jill's head rested on Chris' shoulder, her face content.

"I'll be leaving soon." Chris broke the moment Jill was silent, as she got comfortable.

"It'd be best if you got outta here as well, you know resign from STARS." Chris suggested

"Your right, if Irons is collaborating with Umbrella he'll be sure too come after anyone with was involved with the Arklay mansion incident." Jill contemplated on it.

"I've asked for a background check on him, but they haven't responded yet." Chris explained

Jill shook her head.

"Let's not ruin this moment with talks of Umbrella please." Jill sighed. Chris nodded, and put his arms around Jill, pulling the covers over her.

Jill relaxed and she soon found herself asleep, Chris rest his head on hers and fell asleep as well...

*Rebecca had gone, on her own adventure and would meet up with us in Europe...Chris went to Europe where he waits for me and Barry...heh...little did I know that about a month later I would be fighting for my life...to escape Raccoon City.... *
