Okay, the second to last chapter to my Luis fic. sorry I haven't updated in such a long time. R&R please, and, as usual, flames are welcome :P. Enjoy. ( P.s. THIS ONE'S LONER! JOY! )
The rain had just stopped, the night was still pitch black, and Luis was still on the run. He had eventually found a room in the castle that wasn't full of people..'things' that wanted to rip his limbs off. As he took a seat, he began to think about what 'they' told him to do with the sample. More memories came flooding back to Luis, and he began to recall what they told him to do.
Luis was flying across the water, pushing the boat as fast as it could go. Suddenly, the boat began to slow down, until it eventually stopped at a nearby island. Luis slammed his fist on the dashboard in a rage, " DAMMIT! Now I'll never be able to get there...maybe Saddler has another one of his ' outposts ' here. I might be able to take some fuel from there ". Luis began to swim to the island, and as he neared it, he began to see an image of what appeared to be a small harbor on the far side of the island. It didn't take long for him to reach land, and he began to climb the side of the hill. When he reached the top, he noticed a small house past the trees, smoke was coming out of the chimney, there was fresh cut wood outside, and a small stream running by...he knew that those things were here too.
As Luis began to near the house, he drew his gun and slowly approached a window. He looked inside, frightened of what might be inside, nevertheless, he would still have to see if there was anything useful in this place. He slowly pushed open the window and stepped through, not forgetting to shut it. He remembered sneaking like this while he was still an officer. As he walked through the very dark house, he saw a small fire in the dining room...that could only mean one thing, someone was here. Luis winced in pain as he felt a blade of some sort cut him on the back, only to be followed by a loud shrill. He turned and saw the eyes of one of those ganados, an axe in hand, stained with his blood. Luis dodged out of the way as it went for another attack, he turned and took the shot, taking it's head clean off, the blood staininng the furniture behind him.
In the distance, Luis could hear someone coming, so he took cover behind a nearby curtain. " I know I saw him come in here, I'll find that bastard and pry that damn sample from his cold, dead fingers!" Screamed a voice which sounded American, followed by a woman's voice, " Calm down Krauser, we'll find him, I still owe him one ". Luis realized that it was that sam woman from before, Ada Wong. As he heard the door slma, he looked through a hole in the curtain, on;y to see a knife come flying towrds him, he burst through the window in back of him, only to have a gun put to his head. " 'Amore', eh? How about you hand over that sample, or I'm afraid this bullet will be flying through YOUR head soon ". Said the all too familiar voice. Luis looked up at Ada, who shot him a cocky smile. Luis turned to see a man with scars all over his face walking towards him. " You've been a hard one to catch you know that?" Followed by a boot to his face, Krauser let out a laugh and picked Luis up by his hair, holding his knife to Luis' throat. " Now about that sample ".
Luis said with a stutter, " Okay, I've got the sample right here. But you'll have to let me reach for it ". Kraser wasn't that stupid, he pulled his hair harder and put the knife closer to his throat. " Tell me, unless you really want to see your blood all over this blade ". Krauser was furious, so Luis merely said, " It's in my shirt pocket ". Ada walked over to the two and took the sample from Luis' shirt, followed by her heel to his face. " Is it really so necessary to KEEP KICKING ME! ", yelled Luis. Krauser tied Luis' arms behind his back with duct tape, and sheathed his blade. As Krauser picked him up, Ada told Luis that they needed him alive, that little stunt he pulled back at the labs killed all the scientists, leaving him the only one with knowledge of the plagas.
They took Luis to a helicopter that they had nearby, and Krauser threw Luis in. He got into the pilot's seat and Ada was left to guard Luis. As it took off, Luis looked over to Ada who was examining the vial. " Why are you doing this? If I'm going to be working for you, I may as well know what you're doing ". Asked Luis out of desperation...or boredom. She simply replied, " Or maybe you won't know yet ". Luis let out a sigh as he began to formulate a plan. He looked around the helicopter to see if there was anything he could use to escape, there was a small, jagged edge near the exit ramp, he cautiously nudged his way over to it and began to cut his bondages. Luckily, Ada was too busy admiring her sample to notice anything. Luis noticed a parachute lying next to him. He put the plan together in his head, he would pull a James Bond. Luis looked to Ada and asked her ," Don't you just hate it when something you least expect to happen happens? " She looked up at him and laughed. " You know, I really do, but right now, it looks like we've covered all the angles, you're tied up, I have the sample, and Krauser has your gun ". Krauser turned around and looked at Ada with an insanely angered and confused face , " He had a gun" ? Ada's eyes widened with shock as she heard the bullet fly through the air and hit the sample out of her hand.
Luis ran towards the sample as it fell out of the helicopter, parachute on his back. Ada pulled out her gun, but too late, Luis had made it out of the copter, and she saw him grin at them both. She was angered to the point of insanity, she had to get that sample. Ada turned to her right and grabbed the other parachute, putting it on as she jumped out after him. She began to shoot at him, but the wind was hitting against her eyes, imparing her aim. Luis saw bullets fly past him and in all directions. He pulled out his parachute and she pulled her's. Luis turned and shot a hole through her chute, the bullet cutting through the night sky. Ada's returned fire, but Luis had almost already reached the ground, making it futile. Ada felt herself begin to fall faster and faster as she looked in horror at the holes in her parachute, looking down at a gargantuan tree, she realized she would probably break her neck if she didn't land right, so she ditched the backpack and aimed for the water, she winced in pain as she felt something in her leg and wrist snap when she hit the shallow end of the water.
Luis watched Ada struggle to land, himself at a moral dilema, should he help her, or get away? Luis knew she would die if her injuries weren't helped. He took a deep breath and ran to Ada, taking her gun from her. She was unconscious, and bleeding profusely from cuts on her legs and back. He took her over to a nearby tree as he looke dup into the air to see Krauser going in for a landing somewhere on the opposite side of the island. Luis tore apart pecies of his parachute and used them as bandages. He formed a makeshift-cast by tying the peices thicker around her leg and wrist. His first-aid training in the police force was really paying off.
Ada awoke several hours later to a campfire, she looked to see her wounds were bandaged, and she could barely move. Luis turned to her, " You shouldn't move, it won't really benefit you. " He said in a tired voice. Ada was angry, angry that he was right in front of her, and she couldn't do anything. She gave up and decided to rest here a while. Luis began to walk off, " You just sprained a few things, you'll be fine ". Ada looked at Luis, " Why did you help me? " she asked angrily. As he walked off, he dropped her gun on a tree trunk and said, " I'm not heartless ".
Luis looked up at the ceiling and let out a sigh, " Why the hell did I let her live "? Luis regretted it now, since she was still pursuing him. But then again, he had a heart. He grabbed his gun and began to run again, the screams of ganados ringing through the night.
So? How was it? R&R please. And if you have any ideas, those are welcomed to...along with any, ahem, flames you may have. Adios
