Hi-hi, glad you liked the second chapter and thanks to the people who reviewed. So here's the third chapter. Okay, enjoy.

Chapter 3: Sent From Hell to Torment

Chris woke up from the blaring of his alarm clock. He lazily got off his bed and marched to the bathroom. He took a shower despite taking one before he went to bed. After his shower, he went to prepare his breakfast. "I think that night run is going to be my last one." He thought while he fried some bacon. Then he remembered his ordeal with the crazy tampon lady. "I'll have to admit she was pretty, but she was a little on the flip side. Hmm, what was her name again?" he thought, "wait a minute, I never even got it. Doesn't matter. Not like I'm going to go there and say 'hi, remember me? Want to go on a date?'" He thought, while eating his breakfast. After he finished eating, he decided to get changed and head to work. He was decked out in a pair of jeans, a blue short sleeve button down polo shirt over his white S.T.A.R.S. undershirt, Airwalks and a backwards, plain black cap. He grabbed his backpack and keys and headed to the parking lot on the bottom floor of his apartment building. As he stepped out of the building, he put on his polarized wire-framed Oakley's to protect his eyes from the sun. He got into his jeep and left to work.

Back at Jill's empty apartment, she just got off the phone with the movers telling her that her stuff got delayed again and won't be in until late tonight. She was pissed because they said it would come at around three in the morning, which she happily waited for, but they never came. Because of that mistake, she was forced to sleep on the hardwood floor of her apartment. The only thing that was sort of fixed was her clothes that she hung in her closet. She decided to just get ready for work and took a nice warm bath to sooth her aching body. She changed into some boot-cuts, a blue t-shirt with a big number 04 on the back and a little one on her left breast. She put on some New Balance sneakers and then went to put on her powder and lip-gloss. On her way out, she remembered to grab her keys, bag and jacket. She walked downstairs and out of the building. After walking a couple of blocks, she spotted a little cafe and went in to have a quick breakfast. Before she got up to pay for the bill, she re-applied her lip-gloss and left the cafe. She walked all the way to work, which wasn't too far away.

Right after Chris parked his car, Richard pulled in. They both got out at the same time and greeted each other a good morning.

"Hey, Rich, so have fun last night?" Chris asked as they walked toward the RPD.

"Yeah, it was fun. It was weird, but Jill danced with me." He smiled.

"Jill? Is she some girl you met at the bar or something?" Chris asked.

"No you mental. Have you forgotten already? Oh wait, you never met her. She's the new recruit." He said as they walked into the building.

"Oh? Oh yeah! That's right, her, Valentine, right?" Chris said.

"Yep." Richard said. "So what'd you do all last night?"

"I went running around the city." Chris answered.

"Come again?" Richard asked.

"Hey guys." Brad interrupted as he and Forest joined the two on the way to the locker rooms.

"Redfield! Where is my gun!" Forest yelled as he clutched his head. "I have a real bad migraine, so don't give me any bullshit."

"What are you talking about? I didn't take your stupid gun. I'm too old for these childish games."

"We'll just see." Forest said.

"So what'd you do last night man?" Brad asked.

"Why is everyone so interested as to what I did last night?" Chris asked.

"Huh?" Brad was confused.

"Well, you are the second person within thirty minutes to ask me what I did last night." Chris said.

"I didn't know." Brad said.

"Of course you didn't. Anyways, I went running around the city and boy, how I wish I hadn't."

"Why, what happened?" Brad asked.

"Well…" He opened his locker revealing Forest's gun.

"Ha! What is that then?" Forest interrupted him.

"Shit. I didn't take it man." Chris said coolly.

"All lies!" Forest said as he grabbed his gun from the locker and held it tightly.

"Joe must have put it there after I left yesterday." Chris said.

"Whatever. Just you watch your back." He threatened.

"You're an ass. It was Joe. Get your facts straight before you go pointing fingers, you punk." Chris said.

"Finding it in your locker is evidence enough and look in the mirror before you start calling people punks." Forest said.

"Shut up the both of you!" Richard yelled. "You're giving me a headache. Anyways, Chris, what were you saying about last night?" He was eager to know. Chris began to tell his story again, this time without being interrupted.

Jill arrived at the RPD after walking for eighteen minutes. On the way in, she ran into

Joseph who was already in his uniform. It saves him the time going to work dressed already.

"Hey Jill, you look really tired. You ok?" Joseph asked.

"Not really, I just didn't get a goodnight's sleep." She said.

"Why?" He asked.

"I had to sleep on the goddamn floor! The movers said they would come three o'clock in the morning and they never came. I was forced to sleep on the freaking hardwood floor and do you know how uncomfortable that is?" Jill said.

"Um, why three?" Joseph asked.

"They said they would come the next day, but if I were willing to stay up, they would've delivered at three. I said okay. At least I would have a bed to sleep in you know. But no." Jill said.

"That sucks. So…where are you supposed to go on your first day?" He asked.

"Oh yeah…um, I have to see the Chief. Where might I find him?" She asked.

"I'll show you since I have some time to kill." Joseph lead her to Chief Irons' office.

"Oh, I have something to tell you." She brought up on the way to there.

"What?" he asked and she began to tell him what happened to her right after he dropped her off.

- Locker Room-

The guys had finished changing into their uniforms and Chris just finished his story.

"That seriously happened?" Forest asked, "Dude, if she's as hot as you said she was, I would have taken that offer to be suffocated by tampons." He laughed.

"Yeah, whatever." Chris said as he put his cap back on his head.

"You're not supposed to wear hats in the building, man." Brad said as the four of them exited the locker rooms.

"So what. You're not supposed to be wearing sunglasses in the building either." Chris said.

"But he's the captain." Brad said.

"And so? Frost wears a bandana. What makes a cap any different?" Chris asked.

"It makes you look like a juvenile." Richard said.

"And a bandana doesn't?" Chris countered.

"Okay never mind." Richard said as he got shot down.

"But…" Brad began.

"Shut up. You're not the one that's going to get in trouble anyways so why are you so worried?" Chris asked.

"I don't know. Forget it." Brad said.

"Morning fellas." Sullivan greeted as they all entered the S.T.A.R.S. office.

"Morning Ken. So what does Marini have in stall for us today?" Forest asked.

"Oh you know…the usual." He said as he took a seat at his desk along with the others. Chris on the other hand strolled to the empty desk next to his and examined it.

"Is Barry in?" Chris asked Kenneth.

"Uh, yeah, he should be in the weapons room taking inventory, god knows why." Kenneth answered.

"Thanks." Chris said as he left to find Barry.

-In front of Chief Brian Irons' Office-

"What an asshole!" Joseph said. "What's his name? I'll kick his ass."

"Um, his name was…" She paused, "I don't know. I don't think he said it."

"Well, if you ever see him, point him out and the boys and I will give him some trouble." Joseph said.

"That's okay. I doubt I'll ever run into him again. So I guess this is my stop?" They stood in front of the door.

"Yep. I'll see you back at the office then, okay?" He said.

"Yeah, ok." She said. She knocked on the door and entered after being called in. After her appointment with the Chief, she left and proceeded to the S.T.A.R.S. office. On her way there, she saw a man what looked to her like someone she admires come out of a room and went the opposite way. She quickly walked to the S.T.A.R.S office where she ran into Forest who was just stepping out.

"OH MY GOD! Forest, you will never believe who I saw just a while ago." She sounded like a very excited schoolgirl.

"Who, who!" he asked.

"I just saw Val Kilmer! He's here in Raccoon City! I think he's going to shoot his new movie here or something!" Jill said.

"No way, really? Show me! I want to see!" he said and the two went off to find Val Kilmer.

"There." She pointed him out.

"Huh." Forest's excitement died down.

"What's the matter? Aren't you excited to see Val Kilmer? To tell you the truth, when I first saw Top Gun, I had a crush on Ice Man." She exhaled.

"Jill, honey, hate to burst your bubble but that isn't Val Kilmer. That's the Captain." He said.

"What? That's not Val Kilmer? That can't be?" Jill said.

"Well it is. Let's go before he spots us." Forest said. The both of them headed back to the S.T.A.R.S. office.

"Hey Jill." Everyone greeted her.

"Hey." She said.

"So, your desk is there, next to Redfield's…how quaint." Joseph said. "Speaking of him, where is he?"

"With Barry somewhere in this museum." Kenneth answered.

"He's always missing. Why is that?" Joseph asked.

"He's not missing. He's with Barry." Brad said.

"Shut up Brad! I ought to kick your ass for last night!" Joseph said.

"Try it and my buddy here will knock you." He patted Kenneth's shoulder.

"What? You're on your own on that one little man." Kenneth said.

Joseph broke out in a run and chased Brad around the office while dodging all the obstacles. Brad then headed for the open door where he crashed into Wesker and fell down. Upon seeing the Captain, Joseph stopped right in his tracks, fearing what punishment Wesker was going to give them.

"What the hell is going on here? Isn't it a little too early for you kids to be running around?" Wesker asked.

"Sorry Sir won't happen again." Joseph helped Brad off the floor and then took a seat at his desk.

"To hell it won't." Wesker entered the office. "Where are Burton and Redfield?"

"Taking inventory." Kenneth said.

"Inventory huh? Forest, would you get them please." Wesker said.

"Run, Forest! Run!" Joseph yelled to Forest, who was talking his sweet time.

"Miss Valentine?" He turned his attention to Jill.

"Yes, Sir." She said. "Whoa, totally not what I imagined the Captain would look like." She thought, "and Val Kilmer is totally hotter."

"You're not in uniform." He said.

"I apologize. I just wasn't sure if I would be wearing the same one from my old unit." She said.

"That's understandable and you could use the same one. If you would, follow me to my office please." He said and she followed him in.

- Weapons Room-

"…and I just ran home." Chris finished his story to Barry.

"Hmm…I'm thinking you had fun pestering that poor girl, huh." Barry said.

"Yes and no. She got a little crazy. So when am I getting that customized berretta?" Chris changed the subject.

"Next week, I think. And don't worry, you'll get it, everybody does. It's sort of like a tradition we have going on here." Barry said.

Suddenly, Forest burst into the room scaring the shit out of both of them. "Hey, guys, the Captain wants to see you about something and you better go before he gets angry." Forest informed them.

"Both of us?" Chris asked.

"Yep, both of you." Forest said.

"Wonder what I did?" Chris said.

"No time to wonder! Go! GO! Go!" Forest yelled at the both of them and the both of them bolted to the office, leaving Forest to catch his breath.

-S.T.A.R.S. Office 10:21 a.m.-

"Hey, Rich, I think we should go now. Marini will be expecting us soon. He wants us to be just as good as the Alphas…if you don't already know that." Kenneth said.

"What about Forest?" Richard asked.

"He should know to go there." Kenneth said

"What if he doesn't?" Richard asked.

"Then we'll page him." Kenneth said.

"Sounds good." Richard said.

Richard and Kenneth approached the PA system in the office and paged Forest. "Calling all idiots by the name of FOREST SPEYER" Richard said, "We need you to report to the training grounds, NOW! Okay bye." He finished. Wesker shot him a look from inside his office that would certainly kill. Richard immediately left the office followed by Sullivan, leaving Joseph and Brad behind.

"Hey, Jill. Forest told us that you thought the Captain was Val Kilmer." Joseph brought up as she came out of Wesker's office.

"So? Any girl such as myself who admires Val Kilmer would think he was. I mean, did you see him in Top Gun as Ice Man? Whew. They do have some similarities but I think Val is better looking." She took a seat behind her new, empty desk.

"Coughfreakcough" Joseph said.

"Shut up! So what do we usually do?" Jill asked.

"Nothing." Joseph said.

"Nothing, huh? Sooo, um…is Chris in?" She asked out of curiosity.

"I'm pretty sure he is. He's probably around." He noticed the hint of eagerness in her voice.

"Sooo, where did the others go?" She asked.

"Um, training exercises" Joseph said.

"Why aren't we training?" She asked.

"Don't know. Ask the Captain." Joseph said.

"No thanks." She said.

"Brad, go ask the Captain why we're not training yet?"

"NOOO!" Brad said.

"Oh well, guess we'll never know." Joseph said. "Oh, I have to see Kevin about something. I'll check you guys later." He left the office.

"Hey want a tour of the place?" Brad asked.

"Um, I guess." Jill answered and got up from her desk to join Brad on a little Tour de RPD. As they exited the office, Barry and Chris came running from the other end and into the office.

"Sir, you wanted to see us?" Barry asked as he opened the door to Wesker's office.

"Yes. Come in." He said calmly and eyed Chris because of his new accessory. "I presume you are having a bad hair day?" Wesker said to Chris.

"Well, you can say that." Chris said in order to keep his hat on.

Wesker shook his head. "Okay now for why I called both of you in. Redfield, since you're so good with paper work," he teased, "I need you to look over this file and then tell Irons to shove it in his ass because he wants to shut us down saying that we are a waste of money and that we're getting paid for doing nothing." He handed him the manila folder. "And Barry, I need you to get the girl her firearms. That is all, you may go now."

"Damn, I hate going to Irons' office. It smells of cigar and rotten something in there." Chris complained to Barry as they walked out of the office.

"Lucky for you, you don't have to go back from where you just came from." Barry said. Chris laughed. "Hey are you really going to tell Irons to shove it?"

"I don't know. We'll see what happens when I get there. I'll see you back at the office." Chris took the left while Barry took the stairs down. On his way there, Chris opened the folder and began looking over it without taking his eyes away from it.

---

"It always gets stuck. You just have to know where to hit it." Chris heard Brad talking to someone about the broken drink machine. As he passed Brad, with the folder still covering his face, he whacked the machine, without even looking where, and the drink fell out.

"Hey thanks Chris." Brad said. Chris waved his hand in the air and continued walking. "Hey wait, have you met J…"

"Not now Brad. I'm busy." He cut him off and turned the corner.

"That's him?" She asked upon seeing only his backside.

"Yeah, that's Chris, the workaholic. Come on. We should be getting back to the office now." Brad handed her her Nestea.

"Um, okay. Thanks." Jill took her drink.

---

When Jill and Brad returned to the office, they found only Kenneth and Joseph there.

"Where is everybody?" Jill asked Joseph as she took a seat.

"Richard and Forest are changing." Kenneth said. "Richard tripped in the mud and Forest came tumbling after." He laughed.

"They bosses are discussing some stuff." Joseph pointed to Wesker's office.

"Oh." Jill opened her drink and took a gulp.

---

On his way to the office, Chris saw Richard and Forest emerge from the locker room. "What are you two doing?" Chris asked.

"I tripped on this idiot outside after he fell into the mud hole." Forest said.

"Man, I would've loved to see that." Chris laughed. As they neared the office, Chris saw someone in civilian wear through the window, a face he could hardly forget. "Well, well, I wonder what she's busted for." Chris smirked.

"She?" Forest questioned. "Chris, that's…" Richard stopped him from talking. "What the hell?"

"I have this suspicion that the girl he ran into happens to be her." Richard pointed.

"Yah, that would explain what he said earlier. Hurry before they say anything." Forest said. The both of them hurried behind Chris.

"Well, well…what are you in for?" Chris smirked. Jill turned to were the familiar voice came from.

"Hey…" Joseph began but Forest and Richard made hand gestures so none of them would say anything. To their surprise no one said a thing.

Jill scoffed. "Well, well…if it isn't the officer from last night." Joseph's eyes went big but kept his mouth shut. Jill put some clues together and figured out that this was Chris.

"So what'd you do?" Chris pulled up a chair and sat backwards on it.

"Maybe I killed the folks at the place I 'broke' into." She smirked.

"Is that so? That's really bad of you." Chris said. The others wanted to laugh at Chris' lousy attempt at flirting.

"Yeah, I'm a bad girl. Are you going to lock me up?" Jill enjoyed that Chris still had no clue of who she was.

"Go out with me and maybe I'll give you a 'Get out of Jail' card." The guys had to stifle a laugh with that line.

"Ooo, the big bad officer of the law, huh." Jill wanted to laugh as well. She also wondered why he didn't show this side last night.

"Oh yeah." He casually grabbed hold of her hand. There was something in her that didn't want to pull away from his touch.

"Well…" She began but was cut off.

"Valentine, why aren't you in your uniform?" Wesker yelled as he Barry and Enrico stepped out of the office.

Everybody started laughing in Chris's face. He was embarrassed of his unexpected actions and pissed off that he was led on. "You're Jill!" He released her hand.

"In the flesh." She smiled but Chris wasn't. "I'm sorry." She apologized.

"Shut up." Chris said. The others continued to laugh.

"What the hell is going on?" Enrico asked.

"Sshh…just watch…something bad is going to happen." Forest said.

"This ought to be good." Wesker said.

"Hey Mr. Officer of the Law, this wouldn't have happened if you made it clear you were a S.T.A.R.S. office last night." Jill defended.

"I did say so!" Chris yelled.

"What! You said you were a measly cop!" Jill yelled.

"NO, I didn't!" He yelled.

"YES, you did!" She yelled.

"Ooo I just love good drama." Richard said

"Yes, these are the days of our lives or something. I don't know." Joseph pretended he was crying, "Anyone have popcorn?"

"Anyone have an Asprin? I feel a headache coming on." Kenneth asked the others, "Anyone? No? Anyone, anyone?"

"I do, last two. Any takers? Do I hear one dollar? One dollar? Anyone?" Forest held a little auction. "Sold to the big bald man for one dollar."

"NO, I didn't! But if I did, you didn't believe me! What was it you called me," he paused, "Oh yes, 'mister pretend officer!' Does that ring a bell?"

"Everything could have been simpler if you carried your badge instead of your gun!" She yelled.

"Me make it simple! You could have said you were in S.T.A.R.S too!" He yelled.

"That was my business!" She yelled.

"As was mine!" Chris yelled.

"Ahem." The two of them stopped to look at Wesker. "You know, I'm glad you two know each other. Chris, meet your new partner. I guess introductions are not needed."

"Wait, Captain, there must be some mistake. She can't be my partner!" Chris said.

"Huh, I'd rather be dead than to be his partner!" Jill yelled towards Wesker as well.

"That can be arranged!" Chris pulled out his berretta

"Oh my god! He's going to kill Jill! Someone change the cannel! I can't stand to watch this horror!" Joseph clutched onto Barry, while the others chuckled at him.

"ENOUGH!" Wesker yelled.

"Not now Captain. It's getting good." Forest watched with so much interest.

"Shut up everyone! Redfield, put your gun away! You two in my office, NOW!" Wesker grew irritated of their useless bickering.

"No, he's canceling the show. Somebody do something!" Richard pleaded.

"I said ENOUGH!" Wesker yelled one last time before shutting the door behind Chris and Jill. Little did Wesker know, things were about to get crazy in there. He should've let them settle it with a pair of boxing gloves.

Okay, I'm ending chapter 3 right here because it's already 12 pages. It's supposed to be 9 like the first page but I got carried away just like ch.2. So what do you think? Probably what you didn't expect, huh? Oh, and the Run, Forest, Run is from Forest Gump if you don't already know. Um, so I guess, stay tuned for chapter 4.
