Alive by P.O.D.
The old Mustang roared down the highway, followed closely be a blue jeep, toward the snow resort. In the Mustang Chris and Jill Redfield sat listening to Chris's favourite beer songs album. "I learnt a thing or two from Charlie don't ya know, You'd better stay away from copperhead road!" Chris sang then bashed the steering wheel in time with the music. Jill looked through their wedding album in the passenger seat. There was herself walking up the isle in the RPD station, Herself crying, Her and Chris kissing. Then there was the reception afterward. Chris and her sitting at the head table smiling at her, Chris opening a present from Barry, Chris holding up the silver Colt .45. The next was of Carlos busting through the door trying to disrupt things, the next was of Chris standing pointing the Colt yelling, the next was of him running after Carlos. Jill smiled. Sorted that bastard out! Jill shuddered at the thought of the little Hispanic shit. He tried to crack onto her after Raccoon and he hadn't let up since. The stupid hyspanic man was always flirting wit her (with her or with any girl...) but with her the most. Sure, he could be handsome, but he didn't had the kindness that Chris had, he didn't have thenatural charm that Chris had, he didn't have... well lots of things that Chris had...
In the blue jeep Claire rested her head on Leon's as she dozed softly. Leon smiled. Holding back a shiver so as not to wake her she realised how cold it was becoming he tried the army trick Chris taught him where you take three deep breaths and let them out slowly. It worked. He thought about when Chris had chased Carlos down the hall of the station. He laughed. Claire stirred and woke up. "What's so funny?" "I was just thinking about Chris and Carlos." He said. Claire laughed. Up ahead Chris was pulling over to the side of the road. Leon pulled up beside him. "What's up Chris?" Leon asked. He looked past Jill and smiled. "I'll race you for my sister back." Leon smiled back. "You're on!" They shot off. Chris pulled up fast in the tough old V8 as Leon tried to cut him off. Chris was concentrating on speed alone as he thundered forward. Leon however was slowly gearing up so he could shoot of when the old Mustang got tired. It worked Leon shot ahead leaving the Mustang for dust. Chris turned to Jill. "Shit." Jill laughed. "I told you to get a better car!" Chris groaned.
Leon pulled up at the office and collected the keys to their two-story lodge, which they would share with Chris and Jill. They then went to the luxurious building. "Let's take the top floor. Leon said. "But you know Chris likes the top floor." Jill said. She paused then smiled. "Yeah, lets!" They ran up the stairs locking the front door. Claire sat on the bed while Leon went out onto the porch and looked down the road. "Well what'll we do while we wait?" He asked. Claire smiled. "I have an idea." She patted the bed. Leon grinned.
Chris pulled up at the lodge and stretched. He heard the sound's coming from upstairs and froze. "How sweet." Jill said. Chris growled. "Oh, come on Chris, she's old enough to make her own decisions." Jill said.
"It's not that." Chris said. "They got the top floor." He ran to the front door and tried to open it. Locked. He bashed it furiously. The sounds from up stairs only got louder. Chris ran over to one of the poles holding up the balcony and began to ascend it. When he reached the balcony he looked over the top. "Oh dear god!" His grip loosened and he fell backwards off the balcony. He hit the ground hard. Jill ran over to him. "Are you alright." "Yeah." He groaned. "You just gotta be on top don't you?" She asked. A smile slowly crept over his face. "Yeah." He looked toward Leon's jeep. Jill laughed and helped him up and they both ran over to the jeep taking layers of clothing off as they did so.
Leon slowly walked down stairs and unlocked the front door. Opening it slowly he looked toward his jeep. "You son of a bitch!" Leon yelled. Chris sat up and looked toward the front door. Tapping the sleeping Jill on the shoulder he began to get out and pull his clothes on. "Jill, they're done now." He said. Jill sat up and pulled her clothes on. Chris zipped up his jacket and walked toward the Mustang and began bundling up their stuff. Jill joined him and helped. As Chris walked past Leon he turned and said with a smile. "Nice Jeep." Leon walked over and looked inside his Jeep. "Jesus." He muttered.
Chris and Jill's room was a cosy room with a fire place and a bathroom as well as a walk in wardrobe. Actually it was not all that different from Chris's own. "Not bad." Jill said. The rest of the lodge was wood with an old taste to it. The bottom floor had a kitchen, lounge room, a bedroom and a games room with full bar. Upstairs was a main bathroom, a toilet and a back deck with a spa. Chris walked inside with one last thing his surfboard. "Chris what the hell did you bring that for?" Claire asked walking downstairs. Chris smiled. "Don't need water to surf." He leant it against a wall and walked over to the video cabinet. He looked inside and grinned. "Hey Leon they got your favourite movie!" Chris called. "What?" Leon asked enthusiastically. "The Road Warrior?" "No." Chris said. "Love's Passions!" Leon choked. "That sick French movie?" "Yep." Chris nodded. "Let's put it on!" Chris put the video in the player and pressed play. Just then Jill walked in. "What's this?" She asked. "It's a love story." Chris said, winking to the other two. "Really." She sat down and watched. Chris saw Leon and Claire walking up the stairs, slowly. Chris knew what was coming and walked for the door. "I'm just going for a walk." He said. As soon as he was outside he bolted down the road. Jill sat intently watching the screen. And then the sex came on. She spun and heard the door upstairs close. She jumped up and grabbed Chris's surfboard and headed for the door. She saw Chris in the distance and jumped on the board and started after him down the slope. Chris was running as fast as the cold air would allow when he was knocked over from behind. In a blur he saw his board (minus the sail.), Jill, and the earth rush up to meet him. Jill spun him over and sat on him, one leg on each side, her hands on his shoulders. She growled. "You prick!" She said. Chris spun her onto her back. And pinned her, looking into her eyes. "You where right." She said, returning his gaze. "You don't need water to surf." He leant down and kissed her.
Claire and Leon heard Jill leave and knew she wouldn't be back for a while. They sat there for a moment. "You know what I'd really like to do?" Claire asked with a wicked smile. Leon smiled back. "Me?" She punched him on the arm. "What I'd like to do." She said. "Not what I like to do." Leon rubbed his arm smiling. "Ok. Ok. What do you want to do?" She ran to the cupboard and returned with a snowboard in her hands. "Tandem?" She asked. Leon smiled. "Sure." They head out the door and found a nice slope and climbed it. When they reached the top Leon pointed to something below. "Looks there's Jill." He said. "And Chris." Claire looked and smiled. "Yeah." "You know what I'd like to do right now?" Leon asked with a smile. Claire shoved him, he lost his balance and rolled down the slope. Claire sighed and got on the board and went down to him. "Ya know for a cop, you really suck!" She said, poking her tongue out at him. "Hey!" He said. "I cap a zombie pretty good!" "yeah but you struggled with Mr. X!" She shot back. "You had to get that Ada chick to help!" Leon's grin faded at the thought of Ada. She saved him more than once in that nightmare. He could almost say she fell in love with him... Why she didn't kill him? Why she didn't want him to pull her when she was falling? Why? "Sorry." Claire said. "Should've been more careful." Leon swallowed the memory. And the smile returned. "That's okay. I guess I just dampened the mood huh?" Claire smiled. "Not quite." She looked toward the house. Leon got up and stood on the board. "I guess not." He said.
Jill and Chris walked back hand in hand, Chris carrying the board under his arm. "My daddy ran-a-whiskey in a big black dodge, Bought it at an auction at the masons lodge." Chris sang the words to his favourite song. "Will you stop singing that song!?" Jill asked. "You sing it all the time!" Chris looked at her. "When you married me, you married Copperhead Road." Jill sighed. "It's getting late. Are we going to the restaurant for dinner?" Chris smiled and pulled Albert Weskers bank card out of his pocket. "You bet!" he said. Jill looked at him. "I can't believe it's over!" Chris breathed in. They had finally finished their fight against Umbrella. "Great isn't it?" He frowned. "Except that I didn't get Wesker." Jill sighed. "Chris we haven't seen him. It's been two years." Chris grimaced. "It still eats me up." His memories of Wesker were not very good. He betrayed them, he tried to kill them, all for simple combat-data. He met him in Antartic and tried to kill both of him and Claire... he tried to take Jill away too. He simply hated him!
They arrived back and heard Claire and Leon upstairs. Chris stamped his foot. "Will they ever stop!" He asked the roof. "We gotta get ready!" Jill came up and slip her arm around his waist. "Oh come on Chris!" She took him over and sat on the couch, pulling her down with him. "Ya, know." She said looking at him. "I never thought I'd get married." Chris smiled. "Ya know, I sure am glad I did." She put her hand on his. "Me too." They kissed.
Claire and Leon came downstairs and saw Jill and Chris sitting on the couch watching TV. Chris turned and saw them. He grinned. "We're having Dinner at the restaurant, my shout." He and Jill got up and walked into their room to get ready. Claire looked at Leon and they both walked upstairs again.
Chris walked out in his old dress uniform, his standard outing clothes. Jill in her dress. Leon came down in his best polyester shirt and black pants. Claire wore an elegant shirt and dress. Claire noticed that Jill wore the necklace Chris brought her. They head outside and walked toward the resort's restaurant. They walked in silence most of the time. They arrived and Chris opened the door for all of them then followed them in. The place was deserted. No one to greet them. Chris reached for the holstered pistol at his hip. Suddenly out of the kitchen burst al the staff and patrons. "Welcome newly weds!" They screamed. The four of them sighed and shook hands. They hurried to their seats. They ordered and ate in silence. None of them appreciated surprise. Chris payed both bills on the stolen credit card and they left. Claire and Leon going their separate ways Chris and Jill going theirs.
Chris took Jill's hand and felt the shiver run through her. "I didn't like that much either." He said. Jill nodded. Chris took his jacket off and wrapped it around Jill's shoulders. She smiled and squeeze his hand. "I love you Chris Redfield." She said. And looked at him. "I love you too Jill Redfield." He said returning the look. Jill laughed. "I'm still getting used to that!"
Leon and Claire walked along a small path that led to their cabin. It was the long way but it was secluded. Holding each other's hands they strolled along like any other innocent couple. Leon smiled. "Not long ago we where sneaking behind your brother's back now we're married!" Claire laughed. "If only he knew." Leon shuddered at the thought of Chris finding out. "Yeah, right." He said. They laughed softly.
Chris and Jill made it back before Leon and Claire. Chris walked in and turned on the lights. He looked toward their bedroom and frowned. He looked up the stairs and smiled. "Hey, Jill." He called.
Leon and Claire arrived home and found Jill and Chris apparently asleep on the couch. Claire smiled and went up stairs followed by Leon. When they where gone Chris opened his eye. Tapping Jill on the shoulder they hurried into the games room and shut the door, locking it.
Leon walked into their room and turned on the light. He saw the ruffled be and smiled. He and Claire sure could do the business. He walked toward the bathroom to join Claire when he stopped. "Hey Claire." He called down the hallway. "Didn't we make the bed?" There came a muffled answer then Claire came down the hall. "Yeah." She replied. Leon walked over and picked up a note laying on the bed.
Take my top floor will ya!
Signed,
Chris and Jill Redfield.
P.S. No one takes my top floor and gets away with it!
Chris's Para wings where attached to the bottom. Leon threw the note and ran downstairs to the games room. He tried to open the door and found it locked. He bashed on it! "Fuck in my bed will'ya?!" He yelled. "Open up Chris!" "Fuck you!" Came the muffled reply. Leon stormed away.
Chris and Jill laughed. Chris poured another drink for himself and handed the bottle to Jill who took a swig from it, then filled her glass. "Yum." She exclaimed. "What year is this?" "'63." He said. "The year my dad enlisted in the Army." Jill put down the glass. "You never really told me about your folks." Chris stared into space for a moment. "My mother was a very nice person." He said softly. "She was a very happy person always laughing and joking around." He took a sip of the sweet wine. "My dad enlisted in the army as soon as he turned 18." Chris pursed his lips and Jill could se his eyes water. "he was in Vietnam with the 173rd Airborne in '65. He came home in about '67." A tear rolled down his cheek. He swallowed. "He came home to a worlds that didn't understand or like people like him. He tried to fight for his cause but was shut down time and time again. He devoted much of his time to raise funds for the families who sons where dying over there. "Fuck off baby killer. That was their reply. "Why the fuck would we help some fucking murderers like you! It broke my dads spirit, mom said. He couldn't stand it. If he couldn't help them at home he was going to help them over there. "He left for Vietnam in '68. He was over there even when the war was winding down." Chris paused. "One day he didn't come back from a patrol. They said they weren't sure how he died, but they said he was running out to get a stranded guy from the bush and he didn't come back but he saved that man." He wiped the tears from his cheek. "Fuck off baby killer." He pursed his lips. "Mom couldn't stand being alone. She died in her sleep one day." Chris took another sip of wine and looked up as if waking from a dream. "If those security guards didn't stop me I would've killed that man that day." Jill came around the bar and hugged him.
Claire and Leon came down stairs about the same time as Jill and Chris walked out of the games room. "We're going to watch a movie." Claire said glaring at her brother. Chris looked at Jill with a grin. She suppressed a laugh. "We'll join you." Jill said. And they all sat on the couches while Chris went over and opened the sizable video cabinet. They didn't know what to watch. Chris pulled out the movie Ghost Ship and held it up. Everyone said yes and Chris put it in. The movie started and Chris turned the lights of. Taking a seat next to Jill he put his arm across her shoulder. She cuddled into his chest. God this is like the ninth grade. Chris thought. Claire put her hand on Leon's and they leant into each other. The movie progressed and they jumped appropriately with the scary bits. The bit where it showed the caterers poisoning the food and showing the people dying from it and when it showed the caterers butchering the people made Chris snarl. "If I ever caught anyone doing that I'd kill them very, very, slowly." He said. The movie ended and Chris turned on the lights. "That was sickening." He whispered. He looked at his watch. 10:30. Stretching he turned to Jill. "How about it?" Jill nodded yawning. They walked into their room and shut the door. Leon turned to Claire. "Let's go to our soiled bed." She laughed and nodded. They slowly trudged up the stairs.
Jill looked into Chris's eyes as they lay in bed facing each other. "You are the best thing that ever happened to me." Chris said smiling. Jill smiled back. She loved it when Chris talked like that. He really could be romantic when he wanted to be. She slid into his arms and kissed him.
Claire and Leon stared at their soiled bed and shook their heads. Leon groaned. "I told you Chris liked the top floor!" Claire said. Leon laughed at the irony of it all. "Shit." He giggled. Leon clicked his fingers. "Let's sleep outside!" He said. "What in the cold?" Claire asked. "No." Leon said. "In the Mustang." A smile slowly crept over Claire's face. "Yeah." She nodded. "Let's."
Chris woke early in the morning and got ready for a morning run. After putting on some joggers he walked outside and closed the door behind him. He ran past the Mustang and noticed there was an awful lot of fog on the windows. Almost as if there was something warm in there. He shrugged and jogged down the path. After reaching the office he turned around and came back. As he past the Mustang the fog still covered the windows. He walked over and opened a door and found Leon and Claire curled up inside. Quietly he shut the door. Thinking fast he came up with an idea and looked up at a peak where he saw some skydivers landing. Jill had just earned her licence. This would be good. He walked inside to wake Jill and tell her the plan.
Chris, Jill, Leon and Claire walked up the trail to the Airfield and lookout on the top of the hill. When they reached their Leon and Claire started for the observatory. "What are you doing?" Jill asked. "We're going to the observatory." Leon said. "I said we're going for a walk to the observatory." Chris said. "I never said what we were doing at the top." Chris pointed to a sign.
SKYDIVING
The plane lifted off the ground with a lurch and the ground rapidly got smaller and smaller. Leon leant across from where he was sitting with Claire to Chris. "How high are we jumping?" Leon asked. "14,000." Chris said. "Don't worry, you done this before." Chris smiled. Leon leant back and looked at Claire. She was nervous. "I told you to give him the top!" Claire said. Chris looked at Jill and smiled. Jill was a little nervous herself this was the first time she would be doing a tandem jump. She had a person's life in her hands. Chris gave her a reassuring pat on the leg. A red light came on and they all stood up. "Last chance to give me the top." Chris said. "Never!" Claire said. Chris shrugged and attached himself to Leon. Jill did the same with Claire. Chris and Leon walked down the isle of the plane and disappeared out the door. Claire watched as her husband was pushed out the door and disappeared. A feeling of dread came over her as Jill walked her toward the door. "Should have given him the top." Jill said over her shoulder. "Jill I'm scared!" Claire said. Jill unhooked herself. And sat Claire down taking a seat opposite her. "Claire. Trust me." Jill said. "You're dad done it and your brother done it." Claire nodded. She swallowed. Standing up they hooked back together and they walked to the door. Claire stood there arms crossed like a mummy staring at the ground below. Jill pushed them out of the door and they plummeted to earth. Claire tried to scream but nothing came out over the wind. After what seemed like an eternity Jill pulled the chute and they where vertical. "Alright!" Claire screamed. "You can have the top!"
As they walked out of the Skydiving centre Chris noticed there was a competition on for best dive. He asked Jill who was enthusiastic. They remained behind to practice. Claire and Leon walked slowly back to the lodge.
It was late in the afternoon and Claire was going for a jog back up the hill to see if Chris and Jill where ready yet. Coming down the hill was a group of dishevelled looking men. Drunks Claire though. "Hey, little lady." One called. "How about a little fun?" "No thank you." Claire said politely. "You don't understand." The guy said blocking her path. "I'm not asking." Claire tried to push past but the guy grabbed her. He smiled and Claire could smell the alcohol.
Chris was on his way down to get Claire and Leon when he heard the scream. Looking through the dim light he saw a group of people struggling. The scream he recognised as Claire's. He calmly walked up to the group. "Let my sister go." He said. The thugs turned to Chris. "Fuck off dick head." "Now." Chris said. "You just made a big mistake guy." One of the three said. "And you just made an ex-Green Beret mad." Chris said. He grabbed the nearest by the hair and brought the mans head down to meet his knee. The man hit the ground with a thud. Chris turned to the next guy, who charged him. When he got close Chris punched him in the face. The guy reeled backward, Chris grabbed him by the collar and swung him into the last guy and bowled the both of them over. He helped Claire up. "Go get Leon." He said. "The show is about to begin." He turned and walked back up the hill.
Chris sat next to Jill on the plane. Chris sighed. "Back home tomorrow." He said. Jill nodded. The red light came on and they both stood up. They hurled themselves out and like a well-tuned pair of synchronized divers they rolled and twirled. They opened both their chutes and both cut away at the same time. Using their reserve chutes they both landed at the same time. Applauds erupted all around as they both gathered up their chutes.
The four of them slowly wandered home knowing tomorrow morning they would return to their lives. They ate a dinner at the lodge, watched a movie and went to bed, the mod dampened by the knowledge that tomorrow was the end.
The movie ended and Chris and Jill slowly got up and walked up the stairs to their newly acquired top floor. Climbing into the bed they looked at each other. "I love you more than you will ever know." Chris whispered in the darkness. Jill looked back. "I love you too." They embraced and showed their feelings in the cool darkness.
Leon and Claire lay in the bed on the bottom floor. "Claire that night I met you in Raccoon City," Leon said. "All I could think about was you." Claire looked at him. "I was so scared. But thinking about seeing you again made it easier. Made me less afraid." Leon smiled in the dark and hugged her. The sound of Chris and Jill making love upstairs could be heard. "Say how about we show them what love making is?" Claire asked. Leon giggled.
They loaded the last of their things into the trunk of the cars and took one last look at the lodge. "Can't we get married again?" Leon asked. They all laughed. It was how they all felt. Getting into the cars they drove off down the road away from the resort.
Leon drove the jeep behind Chris. Claire slept on the seat next to him. He saw the Mustang pull over and pulled up beside it. Chris leaned past the sleeping Jill. "Hey Leon." He said. "I'll race you for my sister back?" Leon smiled. "You're on."
O.K. I know that was short but unless I have a co-author to help me with it I won't redo it. (Probably.) The next one will be action/drama oriented. It may contain an unwanted visitor from our characters past.

I guess I just dampened the mood huh?" Claire smiled. "Not quite." She looked toward the house. Leon got up and stood on the board. "I guess not." He said.
Jill and Chris walked back hand in hand, Chris carrying the board under his arm. "My daddy ran-a-whiskey in a big black dodge, Bought it at an auction at the masons lodge." Chris sang the words to his favourite song. "Will you stop singing that song!?" Jill asked. "You sing it all the time!" Chris looked at her. "When you married me, you married Copperhead Road." Jill sighed. "It's getting late. Are we going to the restaurant for dinner?" Chris smiled and pulled Albert Weskers bank card out of his pocket. "You bet!" he said. Jill looked at him. "I can't believe it's over!" Chris breathed in. They had finally finished their fight against Umbrella. "Great isn't it?" He frowned. "Except that I didn't get Wesker." Jill sighed. "Chris we haven't seen him. It's been two years." Chris grimaced. "It still eats me up." His memories of Wesker were not very good. He betrayed them, he tried to kill them, all for simple combat-data. He met him in Antartic and tried to kill both of him and Claire... he tried to take Jill away too. He simply hated him!
They arrived back and heard Claire and Leon upstairs. Chris stamped his foot. "Will they ever stop!" He asked the roof. "We gotta get ready!" Jill came up and slip her arm around his waist. "Oh come on Chris!" She took him over and sat on the couch, pulling her down with him. "Ya, know." She said looking at him. "I never thought I'd get married." Chris smiled. "Ya know, I sure am glad I did." She put her hand on his. "Me too." They kissed.
Claire and Leon came downstairs and saw Jill and Chris sitting on the couch watching TV. Chris turned and saw them. He grinned. "We're having Dinner at the restaurant, my shout." He and Jill got up and walked into their room to get ready. Claire looked at Leon and they both walked upstairs again.
Chris walked out in his old dress uniform, his standard outing clothes. Jill in her dress. Leon came down in his best polyester shirt and black pants. Claire wore an elegant shirt and dress. Claire noticed that Jill wore the necklace Chris brought her. They head outside and walked toward the resort's restaurant. They walked in silence most of the time. They arrived and Chris opened the door for all of them then followed them in. The place was deserted. No one to greet them. Chris reached for the holstered pistol at his hip. Suddenly out of the kitchen burst al the staff and patrons. "Welcome newly weds!" They screamed. The four of them sighed and shook hands. They hurried to their seats. They ordered and ate in silence. None of them appreciated surprise. Chris payed both bills on the stolen credit card and they left. Claire and Leon going their separate ways Chris and Jill going theirs.
Chris took Jill's hand and felt the shiver run through her. "I didn't like that much either." He said. Jill nodded. Chris took his jacket off and wrapped it around Jill's shoulders. She smiled and squeeze his hand. "I love you Chris Redfield." She said. And looked at him. "I love you too Jill Redfield." He said returning the look. Jill laughed. "I'm still getting used to that!"
Leon and Claire walked along a small path that led to their cabin. It was the long way but it was secluded. Holding each other's hands they strolled along like any other innocent couple. Leon smiled. "Not long ago we where sneaking behind your brother's back now we're married!" Claire laughed. "If only he knew." Leon shuddered at the thought of Chris finding out. "Yeah, right." He said. They laughed softly.
Chris and Jill made it back before Leon and Claire. Chris walked in and turned on the lights. He looked toward their bedroom and frowned. He looked up the stairs and smiled. "Hey, Jill." He called.
Leon and Claire arrived home and found Jill and Chris apparently asleep on the couch. Claire smiled and went up stairs followed by Leon. When they where gone Chris opened his eye. Tapping Jill on the shoulder they hurried into the games room and shut the door, locking it.
Leon walked into their room and turned on the light. He saw the ruffled be and smiled. He and Claire sure could do the business. He walked toward the bathroom to join Claire when he stopped. "Hey Claire." He called down the hallway. "Didn't we make the bed?" There came a muffled answer then Claire came down the hall. "Yeah." She replied. Leon walked over and picked up a note laying on the bed.
Take my top floor will ya!
Signed,
Chris and Jill Redfield.
P.S. No one takes my top floor and gets away with it!
Chris's Para wings where attached to the bottom. Leon threw the note and ran downstairs to the games room. He tried to open the door and found it locked. He bashed on it! "Fuck in my bed will'ya?!" He yelled. "Open up Chris!" "Fuck you!" Came the muffled reply. Leon stormed away.
Chris and Jill laughed. Chris poured another drink for himself and handed the bottle to Jill who took a swig from it, then filled her glass. "Yum." She exclaimed. "What year is this?" "'63." He said. "The year my dad enlisted in the Army." Jill put down the glass. "You never really told me about your folks." Chris stared into space for a moment. "My mother was a very nice person." He said softly. "She was a very happy person always laughing and joking around." He took a sip of the sweet wine. "My dad enlisted in the army as soon as he turned 18." Chris pursed his lips and Jill could se his eyes water. "he was in Vietnam with the 173rd Airborne in '65. He came home in about '67." A tear rolled down his cheek. He swallowed. "He came home to a worlds that didn't understand or like people like him. He tried to fight for his cause but was shut down time and time again. He devoted much of his time to raise funds for the families who sons where dying over there. "Fuck off baby killer. That was their reply. "Why the fuck would we help some fucking murderers like you! It broke my dads spirit, mom said. He couldn't stand it. If he couldn't help them at home he was going to help them over there. "He left for Vietnam in '68. He was over there even when the war was winding down." Chris paused. "One day he didn't come back from a patrol. They said they weren't sure how he died, but they said he was running out to get a stranded guy from the bush and he didn't come back but he saved that man." He wiped the tears from his cheek. "Fuck off baby killer." He pursed his lips. "Mom couldn't stand being alone. She died in her sleep one day." Chris took another sip of wine and looked up as if waking from a dream. "If those security guards didn't stop me I would've killed that man that day." Jill came around the bar and hugged him.
Claire and Leon came down stairs about the same time as Jill and Chris walked out of the games room. "We're going to watch a movie." Claire said glaring at her brother. Chris looked at Jill with a grin. She suppressed a laugh. "We'll join you." Jill said. And they all sat on the couches while Chris went over and opened the sizable video cabinet. They didn't know what to watch. Chris pulled out the movie Ghost Ship and held it up. Everyone said yes and Chris put it in. The movie started and Chris turned the lights of. Taking a seat next to Jill he put his arm across her shoulder. She cuddled into his chest. God this is like the ninth grade. Chris thought. Claire put her hand on Leon's and they leant into each other. The movie progressed and they jumped appropriately with the scary bits. The bit where it showed the caterers poisoning the food and showing the people dying from it and when it showed the caterers butchering the people made Chris snarl. "If I ever caught anyone doing that I'd kill them very, very, slowly." He said. The movie ended and Chris turned on the lights. "That was sickening." He whispered. He looked at his watch. 10:30. Stretching he turned to Jill. "How about it?" Jill nodded yawning. They walked into their room and shut the door. Leon turned to Claire. "Let's go to our soiled bed." She laughed and nodded. They slowly trudged up the stairs.
Jill looked into Chris's eyes as they lay in bed facing each other. "You are the best thing that ever happened to me." Chris said smiling. Jill smiled back. She loved it when Chris talked like that. He really could be romantic when he wanted to be. She slid into his arms and kissed him.
Claire and Leon stared at their soiled bed and shook their heads. Leon groaned. "I told you Chris liked the top floor!" Claire said. Leon laughed at the irony of it all. "Shit." He giggled. Leon clicked his fingers. "Let's sleep outside!" He said. "What in the cold?" Claire asked. "No." Leon said. "In the Mustang." A smile slowly crept over Claire's face. "Yeah." She nodded. "Let's."
Chris woke early in the morning and got ready for a morning run. After putting on some joggers he walked outside and closed the door behind him. He ran past the Mustang and noticed there was an awful lot of fog on the windows. Almost as if there was something warm in there. He shrugged and jogged down the path. After reaching the office he turned around and came back. As he past the Mustang the fog still covered the windows. He walked over and opened a door and found Leon and Claire curled up inside. Quietly he shut the door. Thinking fast he came up with an idea and looked up at a peak where he saw some skydivers landing. Jill had just earned her licence. This would be good. He walked inside to wake Jill and tell her the plan.
Chris, Jill, Leon and Claire walked up the trail to the Airfield and lookout on the top of the hill. When they reached their Leon and Claire started for the observatory. "What are you doing?" Jill asked. "We're going to the observatory." Leon said. "I said we're going for a walk to the observatory." Chris said. "I never said what we were doing at the top." Chris pointed to a sign.
SKYDIVING
The plane lifted off the ground with a lurch and the ground rapidly got smaller and smaller. Leon leant across from where he was sitting with Claire to Chris. "How high are we jumping?" Leon asked. "14,000." Chris said. "Don't worry, you done this before." Chris smiled. Leon leant back and looked at Claire. She was nervous. "I told you to give him the top!" Claire said. Chris looked at Jill and smiled. Jill was a little nervous herself this was the first time she would be doing a tandem jump. She had a person's life in her hands. Chris gave her a reassuring pat on the leg. A red light came on and they all stood up. "Last chance to give me the top." Chris said. "Never!" Claire said. Chris shrugged and attached himself to Leon. Jill did the same with Claire. Chris and Leon walked down the isle of the plane and disappeared out the door. Claire watched as her husband was pushed out the door and disappeared. A feeling of dread came over her as Jill walked her toward the door. "Should have given him the top." Jill said over her shoulder. "Jill I'm scared!" Claire said. Jill unhooked herself. And sat Claire down taking a seat opposite her. "Claire. Trust me." Jill said. "You're dad done it and your brother done it." Claire nodded. She swallowed. Standing up they hooked back together and they walked to the door. Claire stood there arms crossed like a mummy staring at the ground below. Jill pushed them out of the door and they plummeted to earth. Claire tried to scream but nothing came out over the wind. After what seemed like an eternity Jill pulled the chute and they where vertical. "Alright!" Claire screamed. "You can have the top!"
As they walked out of the Skydiving centre Chris noticed there was a competition on for best dive. He asked Jill who was enthusiastic. They remained behind to practice. Claire and Leon walked slowly back to the lodge.
It was late in the afternoon and Claire was going for a jog back up the hill to see if Chris and Jill where ready yet. Coming down the hill was a group of dishevelled looking men. Drunks Claire though. "Hey, little lady." One called. "How about a little fun?" "No thank you." Claire said politely. "You don't understand." The guy said blocking her path. "I'm not asking." Claire tried to push past but the guy grabbed her. He smiled and Claire could smell the alcohol.
Chris was on his way down to get Claire and Leon when he heard the scream. Looking through the dim light he saw a group of people struggling. The scream he recognised as Claire's. He calmly walked up to the group. "Let my sister go." He said. The thugs turned to Chris. "Fuck off dick head." "Now." Chris said. "You just made a big mistake guy." One of the three said. "And you just made an ex-Green Beret mad." Chris said. He grabbed the nearest by the hair and brought the mans head down to meet his knee. The man hit the ground with a thud. Chris turned to the next guy, who charged him. When he got close Chris punched him in the face. The guy reeled backward, Chris grabbed him by the collar and swung him into the last guy and bowled the both of them over. He helped Claire up. "Go get Leon." He said. "The show is about to begin." He turned and walked back up the hill.
Chris sat next to Jill on the plane. Chris sighed. "Back home tomorrow." He said. Jill nodded. The red light came on and they both stood up. They hurled themselves out and like a well-tuned pair of synchronized divers they rolled and twirled. They opened both their chutes and both cut away at the same time. Using their reserve chutes they both landed at the same time. Applauds erupted all around as they both gathered up their chutes.
The four of them slowly wandered home knowing tomorrow morning they would return to their lives. They ate a dinner at the lodge, watched a movie and went to bed, the mod dampened by the knowledge that tomorrow was the end.
The movie ended and Chris and Jill slowly got up and walked up the stairs to their newly acquired top floor. Climbing into the bed they looked at each other. "I love you more than you will ever know." Chris whispered in the darkness. Jill looked back. "I love you too." They embraced and showed their feelings in the cool darkness.
Leon and Claire lay in the bed on the bottom floor. "Claire that night I met you in Raccoon City," Leon said. "All I could think about was you." Claire looked at him. "I was so scared. But thinking about seeing you again made it easier. Made me less afraid." Leon smiled in the dark and hugged her. The sound of Chris and Jill making love upstairs could be heard. "Say how about we show them what love making is?" Claire asked. Leon giggled.
They loaded the last of their things into the trunk of the cars and took one last look at the lodge. "Can't we get married again?" Leon asked. They all laughed. It was how they all felt. Getting into the cars they drove off down the road away from the resort.
Leon drove the jeep behind Chris. Claire slept on the seat next to him. He saw the Mustang pull over and pulled up beside it. Chris leaned past the sleeping Jill. "Hey Leon." He said. "I'll race you for my sister back?" Leon smiled. "You're on."
O.K. I know that was short but unless I have a co-author to help me with it I won't redo it. (Probably.) The next one will be action/drama oriented. It may contain an unwanted visitor from our characters past.
