CHAPTER 2
FAREWELL
A cool zephyr of air gently mangled through Chris' open window slowly fluttering his curtains. The breeze smoothly protracted up to Chris helpless body.
"It's really cold in here." Chris shivered lazily lifting himself off his bed.
Chris walked to his window and shut it. A quick violent breeze shot through the small crack as he finally pulled the window down.
"Chris, telephone!" Ms. McKenzie yelled holding the phone up.
Chris walked out of his room and towards the kitchen. He quietly passed Erika's room and could see she was asleep. Erika's eyes were closed deeply and the covers were up past her shoulders. She was tightly hugging a blue teddy bear that she had once received.
Finally reaching the kitchen Ms. McKenzie handed the phone to Chris.
"Chris don't stay up to too late, you have to wake up early tomorrow." Ms. McKenzie asserted hoping her words would stick.
"Yeah, okay." Chris replied putting the phone up to his ear.
"Who's this?" Chris asked.
"Yo what up this is Terry." Terry replied.
Terry being the party animal of the group was the first one to see the police car ride home. Although at times reckless through his actions, Terry was always a loyal friend.
"So what's up?" Chris asked wondering why Terry would call him around this time.
"Yo man, there is going to be this huge ass party tomorrow night?" Terry lilted trying to contain his excitement.
"Where?" Chris pondered wondering what Terry had up his sleeve.
"Your house maaaaaaaaaan." "Your Mom will be gone, your sister will be gone." "Hell even we'll be gone." Terry chucked.
"My Mom put me on lock down...She got the neighbor across the street watching me." Chris sighed knowing that a party was just the thing to spruce things up.
"Damn man, that shit sucks." "We have to do something here, we can't let this opportunity pass us by." Terry explained.
"I know, I know but how..." Chris said thinking deeply.
"I dunno man but look Imma holla at you later, trust me I have everything under control." Terry laughed evilly.
"Look man I don't want all these half naked ho's at my house when my neighbor is watching everything I do." Chris asserted knowing that was exactly what Terry was planning.
"Trust me man, I wouldn't do something that stupid." Terry joked.
"Its pretty late, my Mom wants me to wake up early tomorrow so I gotta bail." Chris said.
"Look I got this covered." Terry muttered.
"Yeah." Chris replied ignoring Terry's statement.
"Alright yo." Terry said.
"Yeah man." Chris replied hanging up the phone.
Chris laid the phone on his desk and jumped in his bed.
"A half naked ho sounds pretty good right now." Chris thought staring at his popcorn white ceiling.
Chris slowly drifted back as his head touched his soft blue pillow. Chris' thoughts slowly faded to black.
-=Alex's House=-
11:30 P.M.
"Where is that boy?" "I've been waiting for over 20 minutes." Alex said as she glanced at her watch.
"Yeah there is a lot of that going around." Ashley empathized thinking of the events earlier today.
"Ashley he still hasn't asked you out yet." Alex asked hearing this all too well.
"No...He hasn't." "What is that boy thinking, I am beginning to think that he doesn't share the same feelings as I do." Ashley muttered.
"I don't know, Terry told me he really likes you." "Boys are like that sometimes, they like to take their time." Alex joked looking at her watch once more.
"So how are you and Terry doing." Ashley said trying to change the subject.
"We are doing good I guess." "It's funny how all he wants to do is make out." "When we are at the movies we make out, when we are at my house we make out, we even made out in a McDonalds bathroom one time." Alex ranted.
"Alex!" "I didn't know you were like that..." Ashley shot back with surprise.
"Calm down girl I am just kidding with you." "You know I was just playing." Alex responded.
"You better be." Ashley said shooting a quick stare.
A dark blue sedan slowly pulled up in front of Alex's house. The headlights beamed soothingly against the green car parked front of it. A tall figure slowly stepped out of vehicle. He was about 5'9 with short blonde hair. His blue eyes were focused on Alex as she walked down her porch with Ashley slowly following.
"You jerk, we've been waiting a long time for your stupid ass!" "Where the fuck have you been!" Alex yelled as her dark brown eyes flamed with anger.
"I'm sorry I am late, it turned out to be a long drive over here." Terry explained.
Alex quickly released her hand and softly slapped Terry on the nose. Her hands slowly echoed against his face as small drips of blood slowly began to spill.
"See what you did!" Terry barked quickly plugging his nose with his fingers.
"Oh baby I'm sorry I didn't mean to." Alex said searching through her purse for tissue paper.
Loud shouts of laughter could be heard behind the two as they frantically tried to stop Terry's bleeding.
"Oh my god you guys are so funny together!" Ashley bursted out laughing almost falling on the floor.
"Shut up it wasn't funny." Alex replied.
"Yes it is!" "That was hilarious!" Ashley chuckled rolling on the floor laughing.
Terry quickly wiped his blood stained face as he plugged his nose with tissue.
"Alex...Some how I don't feel like going anymore..." Terry stuttered hoping not to anger her once more.
"Terry...Please it was an accident, you know I didn't mean to hurt you." Alex crooned handing Terry more tissue paper.
"Oh my god and then she slapped him and blood splattered everywhere, it was like a video game!" Ashley cracked obnoxiously still on the floor laughing.
Alex and Terry ignored Ashley's comments and stepped into the car. Ashley could still be seen in the front yard rolling around in the grass.
"Forget her she is getting on my nerves anyway." Alex said signaling Terry to accelerate.
Hearing the sound of the car accelerating Ashley quickly rose to her feet and chased after it.
"That was really mean you guys, you were just going to leave me there." Ashley said opening the car door.
"Hey you seemed like you were having a good time back there anyway." Alex retorted.
"So where are we going again?" Terry quickly interrupted hoping to avoid another argument.
"We are going to pick up Chris." Ashley happily said.
Terry adjusted his rear view mirror and accelerated the car. The car was briefly highlighted by the bright street lights as it cruised by.
-=Safehouse=-
12:00 P.M.
The cascade of seasick green tiles gave a dismal feeling as a figure stepped into a large shower. Clean crystal beads of water peacefully screened his body as the man scrubbed through his hair. Long streaks of soap slithered down the burly man's body into the quiet drain.
After a quite refreshing shower the man quickly dressed and walked out of the apartment. He slowly shut the door as a small gleam of light quickly escaped the dreary room.
-=Chris' House=-
12:30 P.M.
Chris' dream slowly faded back to reality as his eyes slowly opened. Soft knocks echoed through his brain as he rolled over to see a blue light flashing through his window. Chris slowly lifted his body out of his bed and glanced at his clock.
"It was 1:00, what do they want?" Chris thought walking to his window.
Chris opened his curtains and looked the window. Terry stood smiling as he lowered his blue flash light.
"Yo man are you coming?" "Ashley is with us, she really wants you to come." Terry said pointing to his car.
"Shit man I have to wake up in a couple of hours, I can't." Chris disappointedly answered.
"Ashley is going to be so mad at me." "You gotta come man." Terry insisted.
"Dude that is not cool." "I bet you told her that I was coming didn't you?" "Man I don't even know where you guys are going...Shit." Chris stammered.
"Ashley is going to be really mad at me." "I told her that you'd be going." "She only came with us because I told her you'd be there." Terry explained.
Chris paused and let out a deep sigh. "You are forever getting me in trouble with girls man." "Why do you always do that shit?"
"Look man are you coming or not?" Terry pushed hoping that Chris would leave with them.
"Hey let me talk to Ashley." Chris said ignoring Terry's plead.
Terry rushed back to his car as the soft summer moonlight glazed his broad body. His footsteps could be heard as his legs pounded the soft green grass. Alex rolled down her window as she watched Terry dash towards the vehicle.
"Is he coming?" Ashley asked expecting a quick response.
"He said he wants to talk to you." Terry replied pointing to Chris' open window.
"He's not coming is he?" Ashley asked stepping out of the car.
Ashley leisurely strolled across Chris' freshly cut lawn as crickets chirped their nighttime songs. Her auburn hair resting at the nape of her suave neck. Her crisp blue eyes seemed to twinkle like the stars as she focused on the open window. As Chris stared out his window, he noticed a beautifully shaped silhouette approaching.
"Hey!" Chris greeted with a smile.
"Hey are you coming?" Ashley smiled back.
"I uh...Can't." "I have to wake up real early tomorrow to go to the airport." Chris explained trying not to let Ashley down to hard.
"Grrrrrrrrrrrrr...Your suppose to come." "Terry said you were coming, I want you to come with us..." Ashley grinned with disappointment.
"I blame that kid for all my problems." Chris muttered to himself.
"Huh?" Ashley confusedly asked.
"I really want to see you but I can't I had forgotten all about the airport." Chris replied.
Ashley's deep blue eyes seemed if they were going to burst into tears. Her cheerful face slowly bleached to a somber white.
"Well have fun then, I guess I'll see you tomorrow." Ashley said with disappointment.
"Asha...You know I want to go but I can't, I..." Chris stuttered for a loss of words.
"It's okay, I understand." Ashley answered abstrusely trying to hide her emotions.
"Asha, listen Imma come to your house really early and we are going to spend the whole day together." Chris said hoping to change the dismal look that was glued to Ashley's eyes.
"Listen, you don't have to do that." "It's okay I get the picture." Ashley sobered.
"Ashley...Please..." "Don't be like that, I really like you and I want to spend time with you but I can't right now." Chris stressed.
"Well then how come you haven't asked me out yet?" "It's been like two weeks." "Chris you don't have to hang out with me if you don't want to." "I thought you really liked me but I guess I was wrong." Ashley sulked.
"Ashley listen I really like you." "I want to be with you but I can't right now." "We can talk about all this tomorrow okay?" Chris comforted.
Ashley shifted her disappointed look into a smile.
"Okay so what time are you coming over my house?" Ashley questioned.
"I'll will probably get home from the airport at 7:00, what time do you want me to come over there?" Chris asked.
"How about 7:30, I should be awake." Ashley smiled.
"Your awake at 7:30, that's pretty harsh." Chris joked.
"Yeah my dad wakes me up sometimes." "So you are going to be at my house around 7:30?" Ashley clarified.
"Yeah I'll be there." Chris responded
as he stared deeply into Ashley's eyes.
Growing impatient Terry beeped the horn. The loud sound of the horn quickly
reverberated into both Ashley and Chris' ears.
"Hey I gotta go." Ashley said as she shared a grievous look.
"I'll be over there tomorrow." Chris said as he reached across the window and snapped a quick kiss on Ashley's cheek.
"Okay." Ashley cheerfully replied a she cracked a delightful smile.
"Awwwwwwwwww that's so cute they kissed." Alex said cheerfully.
Ashley opened the door and sat in the car. Her face was bright and cheerful and looked as if she was still remembering what just happened.
After seeing Terry's car turn the sidewalk Chris jumped into bed hoping to get a few more hours of sleep before his Mom's departure.
-=Alfonso's Bistro And Bar=-
1:30 A.M.
A dark shady figure sat in the apple red booth in the back of the restaurant. A tight sweater grazed his built body. A black barcode was tattooed on the back of his neck. His scheming eyes were focused on the television screen.
A mysterious figure entered the bar and sat in the booth with the man. An Umbrella insignia was stitched on the front of his black leather jacket.
"I trust your ready to receive your payment?" A shady man said as he pulled out an envelope from his jacket.
The burly didn't say a word but instead shared a arrogant look.
"Here is the bounty you were promised." "I'm sure you've already seen on the news that Mayor Allan was dead on arrival." The shady man bragged pointing to the television.
"You Umbrella lackey's get dumber every time we meet." The man replied mischievously grinning.
"You insult me Mr.?" The shady man questioned.
"They call me Leone." Leone answered.
"Well Leone I take you don't agree with Umbrella." The shady man asked.
"I don't agree with Umbrella when Umbrella brings assholes like you that waste my time." Leone retorted.
"Let me make you understand something, with the direction Umbrella is going you would be a fool to go against them." The shady man boasted.
Ignoring the shady man's statement Leon grabs the envelope and counts his money. A bright smile appears on Leone's face as he puts the money back into the envelope.
"I trust that you are pleased?" The shady man asked.
"More then pleased." Leone responded stuffing the wallet into his back pocket.
"I take it I can tell my boss that you are down for further business?" The shady man replied.
"Yes I am open for further business." Leone fakely smiled.
-=Chris House=-
5:00 A.M.
Chris stared at the bright light that hovered under his door. Loud footsteps could be heard against the tanned wood floors. Ms. McKenzie's soft voice reverberated through the house.
Ms. McKenzie briskly entered Erika's room and gently shoved her body.
"Erika hunny, it's time to go." Ms. McKenzie said smiling.
Erika gently turned over and moaned, "Mommy..."
"Sweetie wake up you have to get ready." Ms. McKenzie replied.
Erika sluggishly stood her body up and rubbed her eyes.
"Mommy what time is it?" Erika yawned.
"It's 5:00, I need you to take a shower while I make breakfast." Ms. McKenzie responded.
"Okay." Erika said going to the bathroom.
Chris hearing the footsteps of his mother coming quickly closed his eyes and pretended to be asleep. A soft creaking sound reverberated through Chris' room as Ms. McKenzie turned the door knob.
Ms. McKenzie casually entered the dimmed room as she reached for the light switch. Every inch of Chris' room could be seen as the light flickered on. Ms. McKenzie already had her eyes locked on Chris' who was sleeping in his bed.
"Chris sweetie wake up." Ms. McKenzie said as she gracefully nudged Chris' body.
After a couple of minutes, Chris finally rolled over and opened his eyes.
"Wake up hunny we are leaving soon." Ms. McKenzie said flashing a joyful smile.
"What time is it?" Chris moaned letting out a soft yawn.
"It's 5:00, you have to get out of bed, we are going to the airport at 6:00." Ms. McKenzie stated.
"Alright..." Chris answered.
Ms. McKenzie left the room as Chris slowly eased his body out of bed. Chris took a quick glance at his alarm clock.
"Damn its too early to be moving around." Chris thought stretching out of bed.
The sounds of sizzling sausage and toasted Pop Tarts flocked the air as Ms. McKenzie cooked breakfast. Startled at what she had just seen she focused her attention on the television set.
"Today in the news beloved Raccoon City Mayor Allan Russell was brutally shot outside of City Hall yesterday as he tried to exit the building." "We do not have any information of his current status or the unknown assailant." The reported said.
"Oh my gosh..." Ms. McKenzie stuttered as she continued to watch the news.
"I better call Ashley." Chris thought as he reached for the phone that sat on his desk.
After a quite refreshing shower Erika walked towards her room. A blue towel covered her short wet hair as small drops of water dripped down her pink bathrobe.
Hearing Erika's soft footsteps through the hall Ms. McKenzie yelled, "Chris get in the shower your sister's done."
The words shattered through his mind as he put the phone back on the charger.
"Damn." Chris thought walking to the shower.
Erika's tight denim jeans and pink belly shirt hugged her thin body as she walked out of her room. As she approached the kitchen she was instantly hypnotized by the aroma that filled the kitchen.
"Mmmmmmmmm that smells good." Erika thought as the aroma danced around her hungry stomach.
Ms. McKenzie taking her eye off the television noticed that something was wrong with Erika's attire.
"Hunny go change." Ms. McKenzie calmly said.
"Mom!" "Why, there's nothing wrong with what I have on" Erika replied knowing that her Mom never agreed on her clothing.
"Erika please you aren't going out like that." "Your shirt is too short and your pants are too tight." Ms. McKenzie stated.
"Mom I don't feel like changing." "Mom why do I have to change." Erika whined hoping to win this argument.
"No daughter of mine is leaving the house dressed like that." Ms. McKenzie stated hiding her deep anger towards the subject.
"Please Mom...Please..." Erika whined hoping her Mom would give in.
"Listen to your mother." Chris joked as he strolled in.
"Shut up Chris!" "No one was talking to you anyway loser!" Erika yelled.
"Don't get mad at me because Mom doesn't want you walking out the house like a hoochie." Chris joked.
"Mom!" "Chris called me a hoochie!" Erika complained.
"You too stop fighting we have to leave soon it's almost 5:30." Ms. McKenzie responded.
Chris sat down at the table. It was filled with juicy sausages, toasted bagels, and warm Pop Tarts. The smell of the food attacked his nose immediately as he grabbed an empty plate.
"Oh I forgot the orange juice." Ms. McKenzie said letting out a slight giggle.
"It's the best way to start the day." Chris answered.
Ms. McKenzie reached into the cabinet and grabbed three empty glasses and put them on the table.
"I got it Mom." Erika said brushing her hair.
"No Erika go to your room and change." Ms. McKenzie replied.
Erika pouted and went to her room to change. Ms. McKenzie opened the large refrigerator and grabbed a container of orange juice. It was heavy considering that it hadn't been opened yet. Ms. McKenzie carefully turned the cap and poured the first glass. After pouring the orange juice she impatiently glanced at her watch once more. She tried to remain positive but seeing that it was 5:20 and they hadn't left the house yet made her feel uneasy.
Un expectedly the phone rang startling Ms. McKenzie. Chris went to answer it as he noticed his Mom jump up.
"Mom are you okay?" Chris said concerned.
"Yes I am fine dear." Ms. McKenzie answered trying to hide her anxiety.
Chris clicked on the phone and said, "Hello."
"Hey." A soft seductive voice answered.
Chris remembered being scolded the last time for not remembering Ashley's voice. He answered, "Hey what's up?" "Your awake?"
"I wanted to talk to you." Ashley replied.
"My Mom is getting real mad at me because it's 5:20 and we haven't left yet." Chris joked as his Mom shot him a peevish look.
"Oh okay so your leaving right now?" Ashley asked.
"Pretty much, I am waiting for my sister." Chris explained.
"Well I guess I'll see you at my house then." Ashley returned.
"Seven right." Chris clarified.
"Yeah well I'm going back to bed, I just called to say bye and wish ya'll a safe trip." Ashley said.
"That's nice." "Hold on a second." Chris said.
"Hey Mom Ashley said bye and have a safe trip." Chris said as his voice could easily be heard through the phone.
"Awwwwwwwwwwww that's nice sweetie tell her I said thanks." Ms. McKenzie smiled.
"Hey what about me?" Erika asked.
"Nobody cares about you." Chris joked as he put the phone back near his ear.
"Your mean." Ashley said laughing at Chris' previous comment.
"I'm just messing with her." "She knows I still love her even though she smells." Chris chuckled.
"Awwwwwwwwwwww your still mean." Ashley said letting out a soft giggle.
"Well listen I gotta go but Imma be over there later." Chris said.
"Okay." Ashley joyfully said.
"Bye." Chris replied.
"Bye." Ashley responded hanging up the phone.
Chris turned off the phone and put it back on the charger. Erika entered the kitchen with a red sleeveless shirt and the same denim jeans.
"Well let's go." Ms. McKenzie said stuffing her keys into her pocket.
"You need me to help you put the luggage in the car Mom?" Chris asked.
"No it's already been done." Ms. McKenzie smiled.
"Yay!" "Mommy's prepared" Erika joyfully yelled.
Chris and Erika walked out of the house while Ms. McKenzie stayed behind. Chris and Erika waited by the car while Ms. McKenzie made sure the door was locked.
Ms. McKenzie unlocked the doors and three entered the car. She started the vehicle and pulled out of the driveway. Erika took one last look at her blue house as the car slowly sped away.
-=Safehouse=-
6:00 A.M.
Leone unlocked the door to his apartment and opened the door, the room was pitch black. As Leone flickered on a light switch the entire room came into view.
"That bed looks really good right now." Leone thought placing his two .45 caliber pistols on the dresser.
Leone took off his black sweater and tossed it on one of the small chairs in the room. He flickered off the lights and layed into bed.
-=Raccoon City Airport=-
6:00 A.M.
The McKenzie family slowly pulled into one of the parking lots of the large airport. Although it was early in the morning the activity in the airport was very much alive. People desperately scurried towards the main entrance as others casually left. Yellow taxi cabs surrounded the front entrance as people quickly stepped into them. Security guards were posted outside as they wanly watched people go in and out of the building.
"Mom how am I going to get home?" Chris asked as they approached the busy entrance.
"That's really mean Chris, we are not even in the building yet and you are already thinking about leaving." Erika pouted.
"Shut up I just want to know." Chris retorted.
Ms. McKenzie handed Chris the keys to the car.
"I don't want any girls riding in the back seat while I am gone, if I find one tacky ear ring you are going to be grounded forever." Ms. McKenzie stated.
"Mom why do you always think I am going to do something." Chris asked.
"Hunny I don't want to talk about this right now we have more important things to worry about." Ms. McKenzie stated focusing her eyes on the plane tickets in her hand.
As they went through the automatic doors a large crowd appeared in front of them.
"Oh gosh I didn't expect this to happen?" Ms. McKenzie said approaching the back of the line.
"What are they doing?" Chris asked.
"They are bringing the dogs around to search your luggage." Ms. McKenzie explained letting out a deep sigh.
"How long do you think we are going to be here?" Chris asked.
"We aren't going to be here too long, they are pretty fast with these searches." "We have thirty minutes to spare so I am sure we won't miss our flight." Ms. McKenzie responded.
People looked as a security guard and his German Shepard walked around the crowd checking luggage. The security guard seemed heavily armed with a HK Mp5Sd sub machine gun tightly slung around his chest and a .45 caliber pistol holstered at his waist.
"They are really tightening up." A man uttered as the security guard passed him.
"Yeah they have to otherwise people would not use these airports." Another man answered.
The dog passed the McKenzie family as they walked through the metal detectors. They approached the luggage terminal and placed their luggage in the conveyor belt. It slowly went around them and through a small entrance to the side of the building. They left and headed towards a large electronic information panel.
"According to that we have to go to Gate 4." Ms. McKenzie informed.
The group headed up the escalator and searched for Gate 4. A large banner hung from the ceiling in between a small gift shop. It read, "Access Gate 1-4."
"There it is!" Erika pointed.
Ms. McKenzie looked at where her finger was pointed and found the sign. Chris was distracted a tall blonde passed him. He was staring at her large behind as it exploded out of her snug jeans.
"Damn she got a fat ass!" Chris thought deeply staring at the woman.
"Chris!" "Wake up!" Ms. McKenzie yelled pitching Chris.
"Ahhhhhhhh!" "What was that for?" Chris yelled.
"Do you always have to stare into space when a pretty lady walks by?" Ms. McKenzie asked.
A shade of red flushed his cheeks as he answered, "I wasn't even looking at her."
"Sure you weren't." Ms. McKenzie said sarcastically.
The aroma of grimy coffee and leather gorged the air as they passed the small gift shop. 4 large banners stood on the side of wall. The group headed towards the back of the large room avoiding the large crowds. When they reached Gate 4 they were accompanied by 4 security guards and a large scanner.
"Ma'am would you please step through the machine." The guard motioned.
Ms. McKenzie stepped through the machine, her entire skeleton was outlined as another guard watched through a computer screen. The rest of the group followed.
"Thank you for your cooperation." The guard said signaling the next family to step through.
An attendant stood at a booth in the front of the gate. She smiled as people handed her their tickets and walked through the brightly lit tunnel. The McKenzie family stopped at the entrance to say their goodbyes.
"Chris hunny be good while we are gone." Ms. McKenzie said as she kissed Chris' cheek and tightly hugged him.
Chris smiled and said, "I will Mom."
"Imma miss you so much." Ms. McKenzie said showing no signs of loosening her tight grip around Chris.
"Hey what about me?" Erika sobbed.
"Awwwwwwwwwwwww sweetie come here." Ms. McKenzie said as tears fell down her cheek.
"Imma miss you too." Chris said as he warmly hugged Erika.
"Me too." Erika smiled as tears came to her eyes.
"Now boarding flight 182 Rammstein, Germany." A loud voice pronounced through the loud speaker.
"That's us." Ms. McKenzie said wiping her eyes.
"Yeah." Chris replied.
"I almost forgot, here is my cell phone." "It won't be much use to us since we are globally out of range." Ms. McKenzie explained as she handed her cell phone to Chris.
"I know Mom, no calling girls over to the house." Chris joked.
Ms. McKenzie smiled bringing Erika towards her.
"I'll call when we get there and you better be home." Ms. McKenzie replied.
"I will." Chris waved as they walked through the gate.
Chris sat down on one of the small benches and watched as the plane took off. The large plane accelerated towards the runaway and gracefully lifted off. After seeing it lift off Chris decided to head home.
