(Later that night)
"You goanna be okay?" asked Chris. "yha sure im fine thanks Chris" Replied Leon who was sitting on a nicely made bed. He was in Chris's house. "Listen im sorry about Clair" Leon said sincerely choking back tears. "hey , I know its okay its not like its your fault." Chris said in a vary understanding tone. "Well alright listen were goanna get Umbrella back for this , but first you and sherry need a good night sleep , me ,you and Barry will start planning our next move tomorrow, okay." Said Chris. "okay , thanks for everything , ill see you tomorrow." said Leon. "alright you try get some sleep." Said Chris as he shut the bedroom door.
'Chris is such a nice guy' Thought Leon as he looked around , trying to avoid breaking out in a frenzy of
tears. Leon found a picture on a night stand next to the bed. It was pretty obvious this was Chris's room.
Leon grabbed up the picture to take a look. It was a picture of Clair and Chris, they were sitting together
on a motorcycle , Clair was sitting in the front . They were both smiling and looking into the camera.
Under the picture on the wooden frame were the words engraved "To my big brother with love from Clair"
'o god...I did this, I did this to Chris , to Clair ,to sherry , to Jill , to Ada and here I sit relaxing in my
own victims house.' Thought Leon as he broke down and began to sob. Even as a grown man , he never
before felt as helpless as a little kid. As he cried his blurred vision caught the image of another picture.
'What kind of cruel punishment is this , put me in my victims house , filled with the pictures of the people i let die .' thought leon.
"Its that women Jill." Leon said as he wiped his eyes to see this picture better. It was a picture of that
women Jill and Chris standing next to each other looking bravado. Chris had his arm around Jill, they were
standing in front of the R.P.D . 'no, this cant be happening , I killed his girl friend to?' thought Leon.
At this new realization it seemed all of Leons sadness was replaced with immense hate for himself.
At this moment Leon had never hated any one as much as he hated himself at this one moment.
'there's no way that I can let my self live after this, not with the death of 3 women on my hands, even
4 if I count mom,... I just couldn't grab her hand the current was to strong ...I just couldn't do
it. , But my father was right I cant make excuses I have to take the blame for my own actions, I just thought
that if I could be a cop I could change things , I could save people , but instead all I keep doing is killing
people. no more im not goanna let it happen again.' Leon thought as his breathing became erratic , and he
began to sweat , he could smell cigarette smoke.
Apparently Chris smokes. Leon looked around to find a pack of cigarettes sitting on the night stand. 'had this been left by Chris, did he think I would need one?' thought Leon as he took out a cigarette and lit it. He used to smoke as a teenager , and it felt so good to get the buzz again. 'another simple pleasure that im feeling that my victims will never feel again.' Thought Leon as he held his cigarette in his shaky hand. Tears again began to flow. Leon kept thinking widely as if trying to find some unseen plan to make it all better. But he knew there was no way to make things right again. There was no way to make the pain stop. 'If only things worked out like in those video games i use to play as a kid , when everyone got out alive at the end. But life's just not like that.' Thought Leon as he extinguished his cigarette on the nightstand table . As if it even mattered about the table . "im a monster , why should I care" Leon thought as he reached onto the nightstand and picked up his VP-70. 'I don't even disserve to go out with such a pain free death but its the least I could do.' Thought Leon as he clicked the safety off and pressed the cold barrel to his temple. Leon grimaced his face , his hand was shaking and the unsteady cold feeling of the barrel seemed to help his head ache. Several seconds went by , but Leon still sat there with the barrel to his head.
'No I cant , it wouldn't be right to Chris , Chris should do it , after all it was his sister and his girlfriend.'
Leon thought as he headed for the door. It was late now and the living room was dark and silent except for
the sound of Chris's snoring. "Chris wake up I need to tell you something" Leon said as he kneeled down
before the couch that Chris was sleeping on. "huh...Leon?...What is it ...hold on." Chris said as he sat
up right and clicked on a lamp. "what's wrong?" he asked. "Im so sorry Chris, I did it ." Leon said with a
shaky voice. "What? did what?" asked Chris as he rubbed his sleepy eyes. "I let Clair die , It was me , im
to blame." Leon said sternly. "hey don't do that to yourself Leon. There was nothing you could do." Chris
said sympathetically. "No Chris don't do that , im a monster save your sympathy" Yelled Leon as he held
out his VP-70 as to give it to Chris. "What? Leon get a hold of yourself your talking crazy , put that gun
away , your not a monster ." yelled Chris trying to get threw to Leon. "Yes , I am ,I killed your girlfriend
to , I...I shot her ...I shot Jill." Leon said almost unable to get the words out. "Jill is dead, no...o god.
you did not do it im sure, there must have been some accident?" Chris said as his eyes darted about the
room as if he was thinking rapidly. "No mistake I shot her in cold blood, what are you waiting for kill me.
come on ... do it!" screamed Leon as he forced the VP-70 into Chris's hand. "No! ...I don't believe you
your not thinking straight that's all." Replied Chris who was looking extremely confused at this point.
"Dam it Chris...just do it, do it for Clair ...do it for Jill, I...I stared down at Jill after I shot her
she looked, so cute so innocent , so peaceful , she had such a silent look on her face, I even took
her little purse thingy." Leon said trying as hard as possibly to stop from crying at the memory of what he did, he was
trying as hard as he could not to have remorse in his voice. Chris sat there peering down at Leon with a
strange look on his face, almost a look of disbelief. "Shut up , dam you , what the hell is wrong with you,
you have something wrong with you, I don't know what you did but im not shooting you. Listen I have
some tranquilizers I want you to take them they'll calm you down , at least in till we have this whole
misunderstanding figured out." Chris said in a blank tone of voice as he got to his feet and headed to
the bath room medicine cabinet. As he began walking fast paced towards the bathroom he heard Leons
voice , It was the most remorseful voice he'd ever heard in his life , it dint even sound like Leon , it
sounded otherworldly, "Im so sorry" Before Chris could even turn around a loud bang shook the house.
Chris dint even turn around to see , he already knew what had happened . 'that fool! why , ...he dint have
to do that...' thought Chris as he changed direction and without looking over his shoulder he hesitated then
headed to the Spare bedroom where sherry was sleeping . 'I cant believe she slept threw that' Chris thought
to himself peering into the night light lit room. as he decided what to do next. 'Ill just have to clean up .
I have no choice I cant let sherry see that. Chris walked back to the living room , It was more work than
Chris expected , Leon had really done a number on himself. But Chris couldn't just bag him up and throw
him outside. 'I should say something first , some words of closing.' thought Chris as he looked down at
Leon. "Leon , Im sure there was some explanation , I just don't understand why you did this , all you've
accomplished by this , is that you've passed on your Burden of Guilt to me." Chris said as he felt his first
tears build up since when his parents died. Chris worked threw the night cleaning up Leons mess ,
determined that sherry would not have to see any more gore.
Epilogue
Chris had told sherry that Leon had gotten up early and gone back to his home . Although Chris was pretty
sure sherry dint believe him , it was the best thing he could come up with to say. Eventually Chris realized
that him and Barry couldn't do anything right away , so they enrolled sherry into foster care . The two of
them went on planning the demise of umbrella . Even to this day the knowledge of what really happened at
Raccoon city is still covered up by umbrella , and Chris and Barry are still trying to have there revenge.
Umbrella continues there experiments even to this day , however due to all the negative publicity they
changed there company name to Equate , And without all the negative publicity they began opening a
world wide franchise called CVS.
The End.
Seems that some people just cant let go ,
instead of trying to justifie there actions ,
they try to blame themselves due to guilt,
they just cant axcept that not every thing
that happends is a reaction to what you did
or dint do.
