Dance Of The Desperado

[Authors Note]

********

A few things I need to say before the fic begins, this is my first action/adventure fic in my RE collection so if your a die hard on action and what not this is definately for you. However if you've read the majority of my fics(and I love you for it ^_^) You know I'm a fluffy romancy type, so theres going to be plenty of it in this fic. Secondly I would like to say that, in the past I've been known to take forever and I mean forever to update my fics, well this won't be the case, I've taken it upon myself to be a little more responsible when it comes to writing fics, updates will probally happen every Thursday if not earlier, that gives me time to write the next piece without getting lazy, I've also planned and organized this fic so I won't get any writers block, which many times contributes to the fact that I update really late sometimes. Okay now that I said all that junk, I'd like to say that Resident Evil and it's characters don't belong to me, though I wish Billy was mine ^_^. Well I'm done now on with the fic! Also anyone and everyone who reviews the fic, I love you forver Wee_Hee!!!

.:.:.:Prologue.:.:

August 7th 1998...

Raccoon City, Wyoming

It had been a mouth since the train incident, Chris...Jill and Barry are all planning to go to Europe soon...to destroy Umbrella.

Umbrella Corp. had killed all of those people on the train...the reaserch facility...and the mansion. How could people sensely kill other people like that? I really don't understand it all, but Chris and the others are very determined to end Umbrella's reign.

I've quit S.T.A.R.S, and I'll be leaving Raccoon City soon, things have been plaguing my mind since that time...not the mansion...but the train...with him...Billy Coen...

The mysterious young man who saved my life more than once during that whole ordeal, there was so much more I wanted to pursue, but I was afraid...I didn't want to disobey orders, I wanted my carrer to be a success...so I went to the mansion that day...and now I regret it.

His dogtags dangle around my neck, the thin sheets of metal clingy together in unsion.

Chris asked me, where was I going and why I wouldn't be going along with him and the others all at once. I told him I had things to finish up first, so I guess it wasn't a complete lie...I have things to finsih up but I couldn't exactly tell him that I was going after an accused convict...who was blamed for the deaths of 23 people...

You didn't do it Billy, I believe you...but you led on that there was more to the story. I proded but you ignored the situation, and when we found those bones in a pile you broke out in a sweat. What else happened in Africa Billy? What are you hiding?

That's what I intend to find out...

August 7th 1998

Reno, Nevada

It's been a month after the train incident, I've been running and I will continue to do so. During that time on the train I met a young girl Rebecca Chambers medic of the S.T.A.R.S Bravo Team. With her help I was able to make it this far, I really wanted to thank her properly...face to face, She risked many things to help me out and she felt that taking my tags and saluting me was the best way without showing emotion, she really tried hard to be stoic, but I could see right through her, she wasn't hard to figure out.

A few days after that, I had made in and out of Raccoon City, and I heard the mansion she went to blew up...that same day where we said our goodbyes. I still feel resposible, I should've brought her along with me at least until we hit Raccoon City. But I was being selfish...I was only thinking of myself and how I was going to survive. It cost Rebecca her life. Once again I could've stopped it...Once again somebody else paid for the mistakes I made...

I'll be leaving Reno soon, being a drifter ain't easy, especially when you've been convicted for killing 23 people... But I don't really have a choice...I have to keep running...if or when this ever ends...

*****

I open the door to my car, it isn't glamorous but it get's me around. I take a glance over my aparment complex in Raccoon City, this is probally the last time I'll see this place. I'll be heading furthur south-west to gain information on Billy, it shouldn't be hard to find him, because he's been convicted of murder he's been shown on the T.V, so he can't exactly take a plane to Mexico without someone knowing who he is. He's gotta be gradually making his way towards Mexico...he can't be there at least not yet, it's only been a month...I just hope I'm not too late...

The wind blows subtly, as my car drives endlessly down the roads through and out of Raccoon City...

A sign passes:

"You Are Now Leaving Raccoon City."

I look at it for a blind second and sigh, I leave my past behind and look toward the endless strech of highway...don't lead me astray...

ANote: As usual short prologue, but how's it sounding? Good I hope I really want to go places with this fic, so please R&R for me. Questions, Comments, Suggestions? I'm all ears ^_^. Oh yeah the ratings gonna change for a more..uh...raunchier experince in the future...*ahem*

Until we meet again, mis amors
