Chap 5:

Billy got out of bed and looked out of the window; the rain was beating heavily against the street.

He sighed and sat on the sofa, resting his head on the back. Well Billy boy, she's back, you want her, and she's getting married. I don't know if seeing her again was a nightmare or a dream is come true Billy thought restlessly.

He'd told himself he might as well forget her after Raccon City....

She'd killed him.....

She'd let him go........

She hadn't tried to stop herself from walking away. She went her way, he went his. But he knew he liked her, even from their first encounter on the train.

She'd been Detective Rebecca Chambers, newest member of S.T.A.R.S. Bravo team. She was so confident and cool; she knew what she was doing. And he was Lieutenant Billy Coen an ex-marine who'd escaped while on their way to their execution. The scary, mysterious, dangerous, bad ass guy. Rebecca wasn't afraid of him at all.

He liked the fact she wasn't afraid of him, she'd been reluctant to cooperate with Billy, but found his charms amazing and his skills useful, she had needed his help, and he needed hers.

They'd shared intimate moments, he'd saved her, and she'd saved him.

There was always that....

That connection.....

That attraction.......

Billy regretted letting her walk away that day, and now he was paying for it, he'd have done anything to see her again......

And his wish was granted......

He just didn't expect it to come at a price......

That Mark guy was lucky, Rebecca was a wonderful woman, and Mark was going to have her forever.......

The human bond......

Marriage........

Billy hated himself for being afraid that day.....

He was afraid of emotion, afraid to love her.....

He hated the word marriage, in fact he despised it!! His parents were divorced, the break up of their marriage changed the way he felt about the whole thing.

Why promise to stay faithful until death parts you?

Why make a promise you don't know you can keep?

Billy idea of true love was to work hard at a relationship, living the bad and taking the good. He wanted to be able to make them promises, but didn't know if he could keep them.

He'd never had a proper relationship, he didn't want one, well he did, but only with the woman who his heart belonged to.......

Billy was sure it belonged to Rebecca, even if hers belonged to Mark.

Xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

Mark rolled over and hit the alarm, he rubbed his eyes. It was 5:35am, he had to get ready, Rebecca wanted to leave for the Pascoe factory at 6:00am.

"Morning Hun." Rebecca greeted him as she came out from the bathroom.

"Hay." He smiled "You sleep well?"

"Yeah, great, like a log." She planted a small kiss on his lips.

"That's defiantly the nicest thing to wake up too." He kissed the back of her neck and headed for the bathroom.

Rebecca looked through the window again, she knew he was over there, just a short walk away.....

Though it seemed like Billy was miles away.......

I have to stop thinking about him.....It's distracting me from my job.....and Mark She sighed and dried herself.

Rebecca knew she wanted to be with Billy, but she'd walked away, left him to go on alone.......

Alone......

That was how she felt without him.....alone.....and empty.....

Xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

Team Bravo slowly walked through the forest, noticing every tree, every rock; everything....There was nothing like being totally prepared.

They'd been searching for the Pascoe factory for an hour, it looked so easy to find when she'd looked outta the window and saw the old place, but the forest's trees were tall and blocked her from seeing far.

Rebecca heard a loud screech and stared at the sky, a big eagle flew over her head and over a hill, Bravo Team ran, and climbed the hill. They stopped and looked down on their new project.....

It looked dangerous, a dump.....

But this was their job, their mission, and they were ready......

Ready to face anything........
