Author's Note: I intend to let romance blossom, but of course these two are at odds from the beginning, and others will intervene. Of course I want to say that Leon will not fall for that Ada trap again. I didn't like her in the game, and I don't intend to let her snatch the poor boy again. I do know that Leon still lingers onto her, but I will slowly change that.

Chapter II: Poisonous Truth

They both stood at the entrance of the run down town. The sounds of the villagers haunted each building within a short distance.

"Explain again why were going here?" Leon just had to ask to be sure.

"Quite simply, we were forced here, and we might get some answers while being her."

Leon took her arm as a sign of moving on into the town. Slowly they crept behind the buildings as they kept an eye on the villagers in the town square. The creatures once human went on with normal chores of life. It seemed eerily normal to him.

"They haven't been human for over two years. They've kept me surrounded all this time," she spoke up interrupting his thoughts.

He didn't look back at her as her words penetrated his mind.

Suddenly a high pitched scream came from the roof as they both shot their heads to the direction of the noise. A villager was calling out as it pulled out an axe to their direction. They had been found, and many more would come.

"God damn it," he cursed while grabbing her and making a run for the town.

Once again, as they tried to hide, the fog came rolling in all around them with the villagers close behind. Leon realized they couldn't run for very much longer like this. So, he turned quickly around with his last clip of ammo.

"Come and have some dinner," he sarcastically made note of.

Six of them stood before him, screeching beyond what any normal human could do. With their weapons drawn they kept their daunting persuade for them both as the fog slowly rose around. Leon knew he needed to take them out before the fog clouded his view.

Shots rang out through the town as he brought each down with head shots. Several of them took more then one shot as it required the last of his bullets.

"We won't be able to handle the next bunch of them," he said once again grabbing her arm and running through the now thick fog.

They ran for only a good several strides before a large hand appeared from nowhere grabbing Leon by the throat. He was lifted into the air a good two feet as he let go of Madeline.

"Shit," he responded through choked breaths.

A man barely dressed at the height of seven feet created form to the strong hold. In his other hand he carried a shotgun fully loaded. Leon continued his struggle, but to no avail against this gun toting monstrosity.

Suddenly he felt the grip loosen, and he was dropped. Leon looked up to find the creature stumbling back grasping it's gun just by the mere presence of Madeline as she pushed herself between them.

"Watch and learn how I survived Raccoon City," she said to him seriously.

Then it felt like time had slow down as he watched her body. Madeline came at the creature with a frontal flip with her body. Once she reached the shotgun bearing creature, she was on her feet, slamming her fist into his jaw. In a flash that fist moved and took aim for his abdominal area. Her leg kicked up in a frontal motion, knocking the shotgun from his hand and it flew up and into her own hands. Quick enough she sent a shot right through the head of the creature. The over grown man staggered back as he held his face in screeching pain.

Leon rose as she handed him the shotgun. He turned quickly with the gun and blew away another horde of villagers with the new artillery. Madeline had given the seven foot tall creature a double back kick, breaking its neck, to be sure of its demise.

"Skilled?" he asked quickly.

"With what time I had I learned many forms of Asian style fighting."

Madeline pointed towards a church as she spoke again, "We can hide there. Hopefully they won't follow, or at least we can hide for a while."

The church only had one entrance since it was such a small church of no real importance. The windows had long been boarded up, and it seemed ideal for hiding in and to keep enemies out.

They were able to find a small room within. It seemed to be some kind of run down confessional. To keep safe they kept themselves together in one booth. Finally a moment of rest came upon them both.

"Mr. Kennedy…" Madeline began.

"Leon, just call me Leon," he decided to drop the formalities.

She let a small smile creep upon her face.

"Leon, do you truly despise me?"

He rolled his eyes in response.

"I was rather impressed with your success over Saddler and Las Plagras," she decided to say to change the subject.

He turned to her sitting form asking, "How do you know about that?"

"I was working for intelligence as well as a researcher while with Umbrella. So, I know how to get information. Besides, I knew Luis, and I knew he was working for Saddler. They both once worked for branches of the European bureau of Umbrella six years ago. Saddler hoped to get his hands on those ancient fossils for years, and finally he did through a fanatical religion."

"No wonder, it explains his insanity. It seems that's all Umbrella had," he replied.

"Excuse me Leon. I once worked for them too," she brought up with a bit of irritation.

"Then tell me about yourself hmm. Try and convince me otherwise," he challenged her.

A chuckle escaped her before responding, "Very well. My name is Madeline Eileen Spencer, niece to one of the founders of Umbrella Inc., Ozwell Spencer. I am 32 years old, and I have many degrees in genetic engineering and viral research. The basics eh?"

He watched her as her head fell, looking to the ground.

"Let's just say I've lived a perfect life. They classify me as a genius, especially in that of medicine and research. With the mind I inherited there came the perfection of a body."

Leon would not argue there. When he first saw her, her body caught his eye even though he would never tell her that. She was still like the rest of them.

That thought left him for a brief moment as he watched her. Her slender toned arms rose above her head, raising her chest. Her curves expressed even more so now with her body hugging clothing.

"With perfection come consequence," she continued.

Snapped back to reality he asked, "Consequence?"

"I'm sick, an incurable illness internally."

"Oh," he finished.

For several minutes there was a dreary silence between the two of the small exotic church.

Leon finally broke the silence, "Do you have any idea on this 'council' or 'leader'?"

"All of them use to work for me when we were working on this," Madeline replied tossing him the binders.

He rummaged through one of them to only find photos, charts, and graphs. Leon did not understand any of it.

"That was the final work we were ordered to work on four years ago. Even though Umbrella was crumbling, my laboratory had continued their work. No one knew of us. I tried all I could to stop their experiments, but they out numbered me and my uncle allowed them to over power my authority. Two years ago they left and came to this town testing their virus, and I was kept here by force by their men."

"And that's the result. They've obviously gotten pass the T or G-virus," he commented.

"They improved upon Dr. Marcus' work. Enhancing and making the idea of a parasite and a host even more reality. Injecting a host with a dose of these microscopic parasites, in turn infected with our virus, and they quickly take the body in thousands if not millions of places of the body."

"Like those in Pueblo," he compared.

"More advance, more dangerous and deadly. The next step beyond those in Pueblo," she finished.

The sound of silent footsteps surrounded their small confessional. Leon never even heard the sounds as he continued to take in all she said.

Madeline looked away from him. Keeping herself focused on something else entirely, the sounds she kept hearing.

To Continue

Hope that was good for you. I intend to bring more plot into this and more characters. I guess I wish to give RE a good plot. Hopefully.

By the way, I don't own anything of RE, that is all Capcom.
